Despite that disappointment, it seems like a solid overall product, but I do also dislike the fact that it’s available in two SKUs with different built-in games. They’ve done that before with their various handhelds, but it’s certainly far less practical to buy multiple $200+ large-footprint countertop devices if you want to play the games they’re unable to put on a cartridge or include as built-ins on other devices (licensing restrictions are, as always, a bear).

Pre-orders begin June 4, 2024, for an expected November 2024 ship.

There are also two Deluxe versions for a bit more money from funstock.co.uk that have the following features:

• Evercade Alpha Bartop Arcade (Choice of Mega Man or Street Fighter)
• Pre-installed upgraded Sanwa arcade controls
• Exclusive Deluxe Edition Packaging
• Exclusive Evercade Alpha USB Controller, only available in this pack (worth £20)
• All 6 swappable marquees for your selected Evercade Alpha
• Exclusive Evercade Alpha Poster
• Certificate of Authenticity

The Evercade Alpha Street Fighter Bartop Arcade has the following built-in games:

• STREET FIGHTER II CHAMPION EDITION
• SUPER STREET FIGHTER II TURBO
• SUPER PUZZLE FIGHTER II TURBO
• STREET FIGHTER ALPHA – WARRIORS’ DREAMS
• STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 2
• STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 3

The Evercade Alpha Mega Man Bartop Arcade has the following built-in games:

• MEGA MAN – THE POWER BATTLE
• MEGA MAN 2 – THE POWER FIGHTERS
• CARRIER AIR WING
• FINAL FIGHT
• KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND
• STRIDER

Of course, each cabinet can take all console-ready Evercade cartridges (my updated Evercade game list for May 30, 2024 is here) in one of its two slots like the Evercade VS consoles, although it only supports up to two players rather than four. If you were to buy every Evercade product and all of the cartridges, you’d have access to more than 567 licensed games.

There are 22 games to choose from, including Breath of Fire II, Final Fight 2, Captain Commando, Mega Man 2, and Street Fighter II, although it’s important to note that in this count are the same games, just from different regions. Whether you want to play the NES, Famicom, Super Famicom, or Super NES versions of the games, they’re there. This is particularly nice since there are often minor differences between regions.

My personal recommendation is Super Ghouls’n Ghosts for the Super NES. It’s a great update to an already classic, and notoriously difficult, arcade game.

When it does finally come out, it will take the total number of Street Fighter games to near 20. Each of these titles has featured unique stages for players to enjoy and narrowing all these down to a top five is not an easy task. Luckily for you, we love a challenge and have done just that below.

Casino Stage – Street Fighter II

This level is no regular casino. You will find no online casino bonus here, no dealers, no table game, no slots. Instead, what you will find is two fighters pummelling the life out of each other. The casino stage that appears on Street Fighter II games features neon signs, a shopping mall and an elegant stone lion. The stage is visually stunning and features some tough opponents, making it one of our absolute favourites on any Street Fighter game.

Metro City Bay Area – Street Fighter V

The very first stage on Street Fighter V is a memorable one. Metro City is a rundown, decaying former industrial heartland that is now populated with rusty vehicles and dust. Its aesthetic is perfect for the gritty fights that you must traverse to pass onto the next stage. We also liked the fact that the stage features day and night levels. Experiencing the stage in light and darkness is a very different experience, helping to keep things fresh for the player.

Overpass – Street Fighter IV

Overpass is featured on Street Fighter IV. Set in the Kyoto region of Japan, a large group of children watch on as you and your opponent battle it out underneath a large suspension bridge. The ground is littered with puddles and regardless of who wins, those kids go mad when the bout is over. What’s more, Overpass also possesses the catchiest theme music in the entire game. We were singing ‘Tokyo’ for days after playing it.

Kanzuki Estate – Street Fighter V

Originally appearing as the setting of the ‘Sakura Ganbaru!’ manga, Kanzuki Estate got the Street Fighter treatment in the fifth iteration of the series. The vast Estate has a distinctive feel with a mix of traditional Japanese and European architecture as well as rivers, hills and even its own microclimate.

Battle Harbour – Street Fighter II

Battle Harbour is one of a select few Street Fighter’s set in the United States. It is a port located in a sleepy town that hosts street fights every single day. Some of these bouts are for beginners with crash mats placed down by the harbour. Others, however, are for professionals only and it is in these fights that you will need to prove yourself against Ken in order to advance to the next stage.

Of course, when you think about classics arcade games, there isn’t a game more classic to the industry that Pac-Man. The first mascot of the arcade world, and potentially the most important, Pac-Man starting to join up on arcade games back in the 1980s and was a friendly, maze-based game, eating as many dots as you can without getting caught by the ghosted. This high score game ensured we spent hours of fun running around on trying to beat our friends score and proved to go on to create hundreds of more Pac-Man sequels in years to come.

These types of games as said above were the catalyst when it game to the gaming industry which then inspired many other industries to compete in a similar fashion. Online casinos, you can find them here, have also been the benefit of new technology with many now not being played at high-street casinos but actually online due to the benefits that they offer. Many prefer online alternatives and the attached casinos have certainly been taking advantage of this new trend.

If we are talking about the original game that was first on the market for arcade players, then nothing quite rivals Space Invaders. Dating back to as far at the 1970s, this game was the first to see the rapid rise in technology and therefore the game advanced in design. Initially released in Japan in the late 70s., it eventually became an export and was then played across the world for the many decades to come. 

And finally, although the top two are rarely rivals in terms of arcade games, the Street Fighter addition to the market was one that was innovative and something that the market had never seen before and therefore again was a catalyst in its field to hosting a new type of fighting game for consoles to come. The ultra-competitive gameplay ensured that this particular arcade was an instant hit with many wanting to fight their friends for bragging rights; in game online of course!

Fast-forward to 2020 and the game has been reinvented completely, picked up by gambling software provider, NetEnt, and transformed into an online slot. In this article, we take a look at the game, and how well it’s been adapted.

About NetEnt

Based in Sweden, NetEnt are the world’s biggest casino software developers. They are hailed as the kings of casino gaming and famed for developing slots based on popular television, music and movies.

Other notable titles in their portfolio include Narcos, Jumanji and Guns and Roses, all extremely popular with casino players across the world.

The Street Fighter II Slot

NetEnt obtained licensing from Capcom to produce the slot, which means that the imagery, music and features are all original and not poor quality imitations. So you’re sure to get some serious nostalgia from this one.

The 8 characters from the game are all featured for players to choose from, each with their own special modifiers. There is a 5×5 gameplay grid, with a cluster pays and avalanche feature. This means that as winning symbols disappear, new ones replace them, for the chance of more wins.

When high paying symbols land, the chosen fighter damages their opponent until their health bar runs out, just like the original arcade game. If the player loses, the Car Smash Bonus is triggered. If they then go on to win this, they’ll take on the Beat the Boss feature.

The fun arcade theme and the original game features make this a really enjoyable slot to play, if they are your thing.

Where to Play

Most major casinos will have the Street Fighter 2 available, but there are other things to consider too. You will want to pick the best site with the biggest bonus. Check out this list of best online casinos to browse your options.

Tomb Raider – Microgaming

This is one of the most popular video games of all time. The original was released on the Sony PlayStation in 1997. Since then, the main character Lara Croft has made countless appearances in a steady stream of sequels across pretty much all major platforms. A sub-par series of movies also emerged in the 90s and 00s, although we’d probably best not go into those here. Microgaming decided to jump on the fully-laden bandwagon in 2004, unveiling a slot featuring the scantily clad marauder. Comprising five reels, 15 pay-lines and an RTP of 96.65%, highlights included a free spins bonus round and some reasonably well-polished cartoon renderings inspired by the video game.

Street Fighter II – The World Warrior – Netent

Ok, so this one has yet to be released. But it’s the first slot to be based on Capcom’s iconic fighting game. Street Fighter II began life on arcade machine screens before being converted to the Super Nintendo. At the time, players gushed about the ‘arcade-perfect’ graphics (they weren’t). Nevertheless, the high-profile port bore a striking resemblance to its more powerful cousin in terms of visuals as well as playability. And now, reel-spinners will be able to try their luck on a Street Fighter slot. Although little has yet been revealed about the features one can expect, Netent has made mention of a ‘fight-style’ bonus round that will allow players to choose their favourite fighter and then battle for cash prizes as well as free spins.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – Cryptologic

Call of Duty is another highly successful video game franchise that still enjoys cross-platform appeal. So it’s entirely understandable that a major developer such as Cryptologic has done its very best to cash-in. This particular interpretation is replete with all manner of battlefield symbols from Call of Duty including grenades, guns, soldiers and masked militia. There are five reels and a potentially lucrative bonus game that can award a slew of multipliers. 

Resident Evil 6 – Skywind

Resident Evil goes back a very long way and was originally released in 1994 by Capcom. It has since spawned a raft of sequels as well as a movie and a television show. In 2019, Skywind launched a medium variance five reel slot dedicated to this Japanese classic. Standout features include an assortment of bonus missions, of which one can pay out as much as 250 times your total stake.
