Thus far, the entire arcade cupboards within the recreation have been unique works created by Nosebleed Interactive, however that is altering with the sport’s first licensed cupboard: Kung Fury.

“Nosebleed Interactive has collaborated with award-winning indie studio Hello There Games, creators of the critically acclaimed AVICII Invector, to bring the very first licensed in-game cabinet available for Arcade Paradise,” Nosebleed stated in an replace on the sport’s Steam web page. The new cupboard is obtainable as DLC for $3, supplying you with yet one more method to spruce up the laundromat-turned-arcade. It’s out now on PC and can hit all consoles on January 13, 2023.

Kung Fury: Street Rage is basically a Streets of Rage homage, full with 4 distinctive characters and a synth soundtrack. The recreation’s inclusion makes lots of sense, as the unique titles obtainable in Arcade Paradise up to now had been virtually all riffs or outright parodies of actual video games like Pac-Man and Dance Dance Revolution.

Though it is primarily a enterprise simulator, Arcade Paradise can be a unbelievable story of parental discord and ’90s-era nostalgia. In our best-of-the-rest listing for 2022, Steve Watts referred to as the sport a “stellar fusion of management sim and minigame collection.”
