AtGames® announces wider availability of the next iteration of the in-demand Legends Ultimate Arcade with hundreds of licensed games, arcade-quality multiplayer hardware, online connectivity, leaderboard events, voice chat, extensive software customization, and a thriving community that continues to make this one of most sought after home arcade machines

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (August 12, 2020)  On August 31, the Legends Ultimate Arcade returns in wider release. The platform, introduced in the fourth quarter of 2019, already has tens of thousands of enthusiastic owners, but global supply challenges due to COVID19 have kept it out of the hands of the most eager gamers and families. Now the wait is over! On the last day of August, it will be back on the shelf in a new iteration for an MSRP of just $599 at major retail outlets and online.

“We have been thrilled with the unprecedented demand for the Legends Ultimate,” said Dr. Ping-Kang Hsiung, CEO of AtGames. “Due to the pandemic and related supply chain disruptions, we have been unable to meet that great demand. Now, with the supply chain restored, we can bring this incredible, ever-evolving platform to even more families.”

With the wider availability of this new iteration, many more families will finally have access to this versatile, connected home arcade, adding to more than 10 million units of game and console products shipped by the company to date.

AtGames has reinvented the home arcade category by bringing its connected and expandable full-size family- friendly arcade machine to the masses. With 300 licensed, genre-defining arcade and console games built into this amazing platform and access to countless more, the fun never has to end. This full-size arcade, which stands over 66” tall and 29” wide, features premium two-player controls, a 24 HD LCD monitor, down-firing stereo speakers, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

From January 2020 until the end of July, the number of hours owners have played games each month on the Legends Ultimate has increased by 553%. From May 2020 until the end of July, there has been a 254% increase in online global leaderboard scores posted. Both impressive percentages are expected to continue their upward trend with the release of this next iteration of the Legends Ultimate.

Among the 300 games that appear on this full-size arcade unit there is a large selection of classic arcade and home video games from licensors like Atari, Data East, Disney, Jaleco, Taito, The Tetris Company, and more. These legendary games can be enjoyed from the authentic arcade-style control panel, which includes two joysticks, six action buttons per player, a high-performance trackball, and two spinners.
