Running on iiRcadeOS, a customised operating system based on the latest Android core, the arcade machine lets the player purchase officially licensed version of their favourite arcade games through iiRcade's app store, which is then automatically downloaded and installed on their iiRcade machine.
Games purchased from the app store is optimised to run on the iiRcadeOS and is able to turn the best games developed on Android into the most intense arcade gaming experience.
At the time of this publication, the price point for the iiRcade and games available have yet to be announced.
Jong Shin, President and CEO of iiRcade, Inc. said that iiRcade is "the ultimate arcade machine for homes" as unlike other arcade machines, iiRcade is not limited to a few pre-loaded games - bring the entire arcade experience into one premium arcade machine.
iiRcade also offers easy, fast and fun gaming experiences via intuitive game menu and automatic controller configurations using iiRcade's proprietary algorithm – which allow gamers to start playing a game right away, so that they can spend their valuable time playing games, rather than going through a frustrating process.
iiRcade's innovative convertible cabinet design turns iiRcade into a barcade for small rooms or into a full-sized arcade cabinet for mancaves and bigger spaces.
"The devices are beautifully and scientifically designed so that they are small enough to be placed anywhere in homes, but are big enough to play comfortably with others," Shin said.
He added that "iiRcade brings premium arcade gaming experiences to your home at affordable prices."
Before creating iiRcade, Shin says all that he could find were devices with illegally preloaded games where the list was made up of incompatible games, games that came out broken, games that ran slow and different versions of the same games.
"Not only were the games too difficult to find, they were difficult to use… with controller settings that had to be set up differently every time you switched to a new game," Shin said.
"Also, many of the games either didn't work or played too slowly. Not to mention that all these games were preloaded illegally and there were too many games that were not my style, clogging up the game menu. That's when I decided to create one myself. With iiRcade, you have an arcade gaming platform that plays all your favorite nostalgic retro arcade games that you remember along with the latest modern games with amazing graphics and immersive gaming experiences. iiRcade allows you to purchase only the officially licensed games that you want, easily and safely, and delivers the exact experiences that we remember from our youth as well as intense arcade action that we crave as gamers."
Shin adds that iiRcade was built by gamers for gamers.
"As a team made up of gamers, we know what other gamers are looking for," he said. "One of the greatest things about iiRcade is that iiRcade is upgradable, so we intend to continue introducing new amazing experiences for our users and continue to add the best games that they love – making iiRcade the best home arcade platform for all nostalgic gamers and modern game seekers alike".
