Whether this device paves the way for the future of arcade gaming machines is open to question but, either ways, the Megatouch Elite Edge ION certainly offers a little more in the style stakes than your average coin-op arcade machine. That said, unlike the previously featured NovoTable Retro Arcade Gaming Table this device appears to be aimed squarely at the gaming arcade market.
Featuring a 15 inch touch screen and coming complete with a joystick and over 160 pre-loaded games (from card games to action and strategy games – 11 of which are intended for use with the inbuilt joystick), the Megatouch Elite Edge ION offers wireless connectivity as well as an integral 40GB hard drive. Whilst, from a commercial operator’s perspective, the device offers frontal access for easy maintenance, one minute ‘Quick-Click’ software updates as well as a steel encased cashbox and a 700 note stacker.
Measuring in at 450×440x390mm and weighing approximately thirty kilos the Megatouch Elite Edge ION retails for £3,999.99 (approximately $7,895).
