By now, Arcade1Up needs no introduction. They offer a wide variety of retro arcade cabinets that you can easily install in your home. They’re fantastic. Want to know how I know? I own several, including the multi-player TMNT cabinet and the legacy Mortal Kombat cabinet. But enough about me and my collection. What I really brought you here for was to share that Dell, yes Dell of all places, has some fantastic deals on Arcade1Up cabinets. I only say that because it’s a far cry from their usual Dell XPS deals and Dell laptop deals. Back to the Arcade1Up cabinets, by comparing these deal prices to some of the other retailers, Dell has the best discounts for some of these. They make some great holiday gifts, too, if you want to stock up before the end of the season.
Imagine playing Street Fighter II locally with friends and family during the holidays. Fun, right? Now imagine being able to play and challenge anyone with the same arcade cabinet via WiFi and live online multiplayer. That’s precisely what this cabinet offers. Plus, it has 14 iconic games built-in and you can easily swap between them using the easy-to-navigate on-screen menus. It also comes with a clear deck protector and an anti-tip over strap.
Not only does this cabinet have 14 total games built-in, but it also comes with 100 bonus stickers that you can use to personalize the cabinet however you see fit. That means, no two cabinets are going to look the same. This one features built-in WiFi for leaderboards, a custom riser, a faux coin door, and a light-up marquee.
While it is scaled down from the original — this one is a 3/4 scale model — this pinball cabinet was designed with Zen Studios to ensure an authentic and nostalgic experience was possible. It features a 23.8-inch LCD display that acts as the playfield, plus haptic touch flippers with feedback, real feel tilt and nudge support, a working plunger, built-in dual speakers, and light-up back glass. In addition, there are ten total pinball games included so you can change up the game whenever you want. Dell’s current deal on the cabinet is one of the best we’ve seen in a while.
Believe it or not, Dell actually has a few more arcade cabinets available and on sale. In case you want to check those out yourself, hit up Dell’s gaming section.
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
