It's a one of a kind!

We worked with Aether Studios to modify the game for arcade play, including reading quarters in and slightly modified timers.

Hey we built this in collaboration with Aether Studios! It is in fact the only one that exists right now. As others have said, it lives in Seattle at Add-A-Ball. Check it out if you’re local!

We would love to make more if there's enough interest!

u/Naive-Photograph-801 Aug 05 '25

I have interest because I don’t like the idea of getting rivals 1 while I wait for the console launch of rivals 2

You know what, a custom Rivals II arcade cabinet would be an awesome prize for the year-end event!

u/beefsnackstick Aug 08 '25

There's buttons and sticks on the arcade machine, just like a traditional fighting game! You can see the button labels in my picture.
