Arcade1Up announces an NFL Blitz Legends cabinet with three football classics

Some of the late-hits are toned down, though

Arcade1Up has another retro-revival arcade cabinet on the way, and this one’s for the sports fans. The new NFL Blitz Legends cabinet combines three remasters of the popular over-the-top NFL Blitz series.

The three games in the cabinet are 1997’s NFL Blitz, 1998’s NFL Blitz ’99, and NFL Blitz 2000: Gold Edition from 1999. All three are remastered in the cabinet, whi𒁃ch will go for $599.

The cabinet features Arcade1Up’s usual details, like full side art and a matching riser. Four spots are open for play too, so you can get the whole crew on the sticks for some Blitz. And while it’s good for local co-op, the Blitz cab also supports onl🥀ine multiplayer via Wi-Fi, as well as leaderbo🐽ards.

For the cabinet, Arcade1UP partnered with the National F♐ootball League and Football Greats Alliance to feature all of the football greats. This includes Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, Deion Sanders, Brett Favre, Jerome Bettis, Terrell Davis, and Cris Carter.
