Modder incorporates a Switch dock into an Arcade1up cabinet

A real Switch arcade experience!

SWITCH + MAME Update - The only way to play Smash! from r/Arcade1Up

Okay, this is a super impressive idea for a mod. Arcade1up has been releasing a series of various mini-arcade cabinets that are roughly 25% smaller than what you'd actually find in the arcade. They're meant to bring a bit of the arcade experience into your home, as you can see in the video above.

These cabinets only ever offer a handful of games at most, meaning you'll only ever get to play a few games from the same series when you buy one of these. Modder Az_HD 1 wanted to expand the usability of the Arcade1up cabinet, so he managed to mod in a Switch dock slot that lets him play his Switch on the cabinet's built-in screen. The mod even lets you use the cabinet's arcade buttons! If I had a bit more technical know-how, I'd love to grab one of these cabinets and do the same!

Thanks to MysteryMan for the heads up!
