They have arcade KI1, KI2 and an XB1 inside an arcade cabinet with KI3, along over 400 other arcades games. $15.00 all you can play.

I would support KI going public again in any way i could.
Thats because KI 2013 has not been in the arcade yetā¦If it would be maybe a few trials, I bet there would be some profit.
Bring it to Edwards Theater in Houston, Dave n Busters, I guarentee you there would be people lining up, ā ā ā ā I would promote it.
If a merger is wanted I would complyā¦I want to see a KI 2013 arcade revival, and I mean people like me who grew up with KI in the arcade, have that hunger for face to face trash talk put your money down and lets throw down, is how to grow the community.
If people see how KI plays now on an arcade cabinet, with fight sticks, then boom there is a increase in fight stick sells and people who didnāt grow up with KI will know what KI is all about, then BOOM big spike in KI salesā¦Bring some cabinets to HOUSTON damn it!
Yes, Iāve seen that arcade cab before, But thatās not an official dedicated cab. Iād prefer an official one made Iron Galaxy or ā¦You know what I mean.
Oh I know what you mean, and I would love a KI3 arcade cabinet from MS/IG. Sometimes new bands release old record LPās why not do a sort of limited release of arcade cabinets?
At the Galloping Ghost arcade they have cabinets for MKX, SFIV, MVC3, and other fighting console games. It is an awesome place.
BTW, do we know if SFV is going to release arcade cabinets?
Its not. It was made specifically for consoles and pc.
bit pointless since arcades are dying
even then fighting games on arcade where only in their prime when SF2 and Mortal kombat first were around
Also it would take ages for it to even reach Tekken,SF or MK in sales and popularity and an arcade wont do that
why go somewhere to play a game when you can play it at home - convenience (and laziness)
Galloping Ghost Arcade also has one one of, if not the only known working Primal Rage 2 cabinet. I think there are some videos online of one or two people who managed to get a hold of them, but GGA has a complete working one, and it looks so good. The people there were even saying it probably would have been huge had it actually gotten an official release.
When I went to GGA, I made sure to take a picture with the PR2 cabinet. Back in the day they had another working one at Gala North Lanes in Carol Stream, IL as a sort of test, but I never saw it again until I saw the one in GGA.

Damn man you are so lucky lol I was a huge PR fan, it was one of the first video games I ever played (Along with MK) and I even had all the action figures as a kid lol I would love to get my picture with it, and especially play it one day. Though only issue is I live on the east coast of the U.S so I would have to pretty much take a special flight out to Chicago just for Primal Rage 2 lol
One day I am going to do it though, I have to lol
When I go to the movies, I always go to the arcadeā¦if they had KI 2013, I would probably miss the movie lol
OMG thank you for this I live in Chicago and never knew of this place now I can go whoop some asses in KI in person. I hope they sell french fries because I will make plenty of salt to go along with them lol!
LOL usually someone often responds like that āOMG I live nearby and I did not know about this placeā.
About food, well, not really a good selection, but the $15.00 you pay allows you to get in as many times are you want in 1 day!. So you can go out, eat and come right back (just show your receipt).
An arcade in my area is opening up downtown in my area in about a month from now. Looking at their website, I THINK they have Killer Instinct 2.
They also have an Xbox One, so they might have 2013 Killer Instinct on that as well.
Obviously, Iāll be stuck inside playing Season 3, but Iāll try and check it out. 
oh man i would love to see a arcade cab for KI.
maby (for the ppl that like to build stuff) we can build one and show it to the rest :slightly_smiling 
also i allready have some plans in my head to build one for my own hehe.
like i did a few years back when i made a replica build for the original one ( no emu )
if you would like to see it here a link to it, its also on this forum: killer instinct arcade replica build
the more i see about S3 the more i want to build another one just for the KI we have now (well it will be not the same as the old cabinets, but its also gonna be a stand up cabinet) also i allready have a model made for it, for when i gonna start, but i still dont know if im gonna use a xbox or a pc for it, need to wait untill it comes out on pc first to see what i can do for the controls. hehe.
but when im gonna start with it i will post it 
hereās a video off my KI replica build:

Recroommasters.com has some great stuff if you are interested in building arcade cabinets.
@ULTRAODINSON obviously has KI 2013 setups at ultra arcade.
The only real problem with running KI for quarters in movie theaters etc is that the business model is kind of dying. Most of those games these days are for specialized experiences lik racing games or light guns.
Thats a replica? I thought it was a original when I first saw the clip. Amazing work. Brings back a lot of memories seeing that.
