Arcade1Up Opens Preorders for Killer Instinct PRO Series Arcade Cabinet (with Battletoads)

Arcade1Up has released numerous 3/4-scale arcade cabinets over the years, with my favorite being the Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder cabinet.

It will feature not just both Killer Instinct arcade games, but also the arcade, NES, and Genesis versions of Battletoads!
