New Exa-Arcadia system resurrects shooters, fighters, retro games
JAEPO 2019 is in full swing over in Japan this weekend, and one upstart has been making waves by the name of Exa-Arcadia.
The short of it is that the Exa-Arcadia is like a modern Neo Geo MVS or PlayChoice-10. Unlike other recent attempts at offering kits (RIP Airframe), this one has been gathering a ton of developer support. I've compiled all of the news so far into this handy post:

One of the more interesting announcements happened last night when Sunsoft unveiled Gimmick! exAct Mix for the platform. Gimmick! was a Famicom/NES release from 1992; this remake allows players to switch between the new HD graphics (not a filter - they were all remade by hand and mapped to the original code) and the NES low-rez graphics at the touch of a button. I'm curious to know what retrogamers/fans of PlayChoice cabs think of this one:
