As time has gone on, gaming cabinets have slowly become a thing of the past. Even so, many of us still have fond memories of heading down to our favorite arcade, pockets heavy with coins, and eagerly slotting every dime into our most beloved game. You’ll still find them dotted around the country in arcades and bars but it seems as though the home console has taken precedence these days. Thankfully, there’s still a desire for these retro machines and having the luxury of one in your own home is many gamer’s dream. If you’re aHadesfan and also love gaming cabinets, do we have a surprise for you.
Reddit usercanhazreddithas built their very ownHadesarcade cabinet for the world to see and, boy, does it look good. Running on intel i5, 1060ti and win 10, canhazreddit inherited an old 1983 Nintendo cabinet, gutted it to make it thinner and then placed a PC inside. As for the artwork, they ended up photoshopping the graphics together for the control panel, bezel, marque and sides with the help ofGameongrafixwho did the vinyl printing. Everything you see is mapped to a virtual Xbox controller, so the right stick is a right thumbstick, and the red buttons are a D-pad that navigates the menus inHades. The left stick on this specific build is analog which boosts Google ultrastik 360 and also eight button inputs, too.
The best part about all of this is that we can actually see how it handlesHades. Going by the video, the controls seem super responsive as well as producing a clear sound. Personally, it’s probably the best way to play this type of game; it looks incredibly fun making me wish that I could get one for my own home. Make sure to check out the video below, it’s sure to make you just a little bit jealous.
For those who just want to relax at the end of the day but still desire thatHadesvibe even on their downtime, check out this 12-hour long video of theHadesYule Logthat will for sure put you at ease in no time. TheHadescommunity, as we know, are super talented and if you haven’t seen it yet, check out thiscosplayof Zagreus or how about this exceptional art fromRachel Weissthat turned Dusa and the Furies into a punk rock band. We even had someone complete the game using adance pad!
Just like Zagreus’ quest to reach the surface and get past the underworld, we here atDualShockerscouldn’t escape fromHadesand named it as ourGame of the Yearfor 2020. Even though my personal choice wasThe Last of Us Part 2, there’s no denying how greatHadesis to play and it deserves all the praise it receives.
