Following earlier leaks, Arcade1Up has officially announced that it is producing a replica arcade cabinet for Namco's iconic Time Crisis.
Coming later this year, the cabinet will include a 17-inch LCD screen, two guns and a foot pedal (the latter being a requirement for Time Crisis' 'hide to reload' mechanic.
Also included are fellow Namco light gun classics Point Blank, Steel Gunner and Steel Gunner 2. The unit is coming later this year and will cost $750.
The company has also announced $500 deluxe-edition cabinets of Galaga, Street Fighter II, and Atari 50th Anniversary.
The original Time Crisis launched in arcades in 1995 and was ported to the PlayStation shortly afterwards. Four mainline arcade sequels followed, with 2015's Time Crisis 5 being the most recent. The series has also seen several spin-off games, such as Time Crisis: Project Titan and Crisis Zone.

I’m hoping Arcade1Up can clarify if it’s the arcade or PS1 version of Time Crisis. The YouTube trailer shows the arcade version but the still photos show the PS1 version. The PS1 port is very good, but the arcade version is much more preferable.
I still have all the Guncon games complete in box, but no longer have a CRT. I'm interested in this, but the screen seems pretty small at only 17". Also, if it is a LCD screen then they must be using Sinden's tech. Right?
I look forward to this never coming out in the UK >.>
Why not the first 3 Time Crisis games though? It has the foot pedal it would make sense to put the others in as well. I understand Time Crisis 4 not being there because that game would likely need beefier hardware to emulate but I would think the first 3 should be fairly easy to get running. I just don’t feel 4 light gun games justify the $750 asking price. I want to want this, and part of me does, I’m just disappointed in how bare the library for this. Not nearly as bad as the Terminator 2 cab, but between the price and needing space I would appreciate more games being put on these. I do understand licensing can get in the way, so while it would be awesome to have say House of the Dead bundled into this I get that it can’t happen, but surely they can give us more than 4 games for this price
just the first point blank? just the first time crisis?
you get one shot at trying to get people interested in spending 750 bucks! what on earth are you saving all the sequels for? ANOTHER 750.00 machine? dream on!
Now this looks very cool, and doubly so that the brilliant Point Blank is also included. Would probably get it as my second cabinet after the Street Fighter II one I already have, but it's maybe too expensive now.
Do the guns have proper recoil at least though? For the price, I think that's a must.
Next I would love a Smash TV one (games included: Smash TV, Total Carnage, Robotron 2084, Black Widow, Space Dungeon, etc)
This is the most tempting cabinet so far, but an outlandish price. I would love some modding on this so you can access all the light gun games. However a steam deck + https://sindenlightgun.com/ could this what this does and more!
@Guru_Larry Not sure if they have region exclusives but their cabinets are availble in the UK. Including collections from Namco and Capcom. They're available from GAME.

@TeamBigRig seems unlikely based on the price of sinden. Makes me think this is wii style remote tracking which would not be responsive. Bring on the reviews.
Agree with the other poster - all sequels should e included
The screen is just too small, especially at that price.
@bryce951 You're probably right. Nothing against Wii style aiming as I kept my Wii mostly for light gun games, but I'll pass on this and wait for my light guns for my Polymega.
@gb_nes_gamer I can't order from GAME after my account was hacked and had my card details stolen
Sort of been banned or something.
Might have to buy this as I so miss having these light gun games, especially Time Crisis which was one of my favorites growing up.
