Star Wars: Battle Pod, an arcade game that takes place in iconic Star Wars spacecraft, is in arcades now. The first-person pilot game lets you fly an X-Wing down the Death Star’s trench, speederbikes on the forest moon of Endor, and much more using a “unique dome screen enveloping your entire area of sight.” The Star Wars Battle Pod, which hit the U.S. market in January, comes with a panoramic dome screen, 5.1 channel surround sound and a vibrating seat for realism. It immerses you in the gaming experience like never before, so wouldn’t be awesome if you could experience it right from the comfort of your own home? Well now you can!
It’s the first Star Wars arcade game in years and apparently that wasn’t enough because it is now coming to a living room near you. Bandai Namco will be making the Battle Pods available for purchase to the public, but the force won’t be enough to control this bad boy from home. The game machine will set you back a few dollars if you want it in your house. The standard cabinet is $35,000, while the premium version is $100,000. Shipping is not included, and orders start next month.
The premium Star Wars Battle Pod is different from the ones in arcades, but what is the difference and why is it so expensive?
For one it’s the designs, a Rebel pilot’s helmet and Darth Vader themes are unique to the premium versions. The pod’s movable seats are covered with real leather, the cabinet has exclusive carpeting, and the machine comes with a specially bound owner’s manual. Each cabinet is numbered and emblazoned with the owner’s name on a plaque. And in the game, the owner’s name appears in the credit scroll. And so, a hundred grand price tag.
The newest Star Wars arcade game from Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. will be offered to individual customers beginning in June. Who wants one?
