Global Expansion: Europe, Canada, and Australia
Arcade1Up has announced a new global distribution strategy to support its growth in Canada, Australia, and European countries. The expansion is being fueled by a partnership with Polyphoto and other local distributors, allowing Arcade1Up to take its premier Deluxe line worldwide.
TIME CRISIS and More: A New Era for Home Arcade
With this expansion, Arcade1Up has also unveiled four new home arcade machines, with the lead title being TIME CRISIS Deluxe Arcade Machine – the first at-home experience for the classic shooter arcade game. Other new titles include:
- Atari 50th Anniversary Deluxe Arcade Machine
- GALAGA Deluxe Arcade Machine
- Street Fighter II: CE HS-5 Deluxe Arcade Machine
All the newly announced machines will be on display in the Polyphoto booth at Gamescom this week (Business Area, Hall 2.2, Booth D-025), and are scheduled for global release later this year.
A New Partnership and a Bright Future
Arcade1Up’s expansion into new international markets marks a significant milestone for the company that began just five years ago. The new Deluxe design has been embraced by core gamers and families, setting the stage for an exciting future.
Umberto Pirera, CEO of Polyphoto S.p.A, expressed enthusiasm for the expanded relationship with Arcade1Up, stating that fans would be excited for these authentic arcade experiences.
