Collector’s items are no stranger to those that play video games, especially when it comes to prized recreations of retro games or arcade classics. While we don’t see them too often nowadays, arcade cabinets are making a bit of a comeback, and Supreme has one in store for collectors (especiallyMortal Kombatfans) later this year.

According toadditional details fromPCMag, the cabinet itself seems to be based on a cabinet that released last year from Arcade1Up, and comes at around 3/4 the size of a typical arcade cabinet (with an optional riser that can be put under the cabinet to prop it up). Additionally, the cabinet features a 17-inch LCD screen and two sets of arcade controls to let you finish off your friendsMK-style.

While this is the first arcade cabinet to make its way to retail from Supreme, the company has dabbled in other high-end gaming collectibles before. Specifically, in 2018 the retailer partnered with pinball maker Stern to createits own vintage Supreme pinball machine. At the time, only 12 of these pinball machines were manufactured and were rumored to cost around $11,000 each. Given that precedent, it’s probably expected that Supreme’sMortal Kombatcabinet will likely demand a high price and will be in extremely limited demand, but we’ll have to wait for more details on it to see.
