Street Fighter Arcade Machine – Standard
We update and test each console’s software in-house. As a result, games run smoother and faster than factory consoles. We also unlock and add more features including the ability to save progress on more games.
Where many claim and fail the MiniBeast is multiple arcades in one playing the arcade classics along with most newer games respectfully. This includes titles such as Mario Kart 64, Initial D, Tekken, Mortal Kombat and Metal Slug to name a few.
The console button order can be adjusted and optional gamepad controllers are set up quickly and easily as players 3 or 4 giving you total control over how you play.

Premium Arcade Components and finish
Full premium vinyl wrap & easy access
All surfaces are vinyl-wrapped, including the rear access door. The Control panel uses scratch-resistant printed vinyl. The rear door and control panel are hinged for easy access – both have locking mechanisms. The MiniBeast design features hidden hinges for the front panel, adding to its visual appeal without compromising functionality.
The rear door features an LED switch, main power switch, a separate detachable power plug, and USB ports for connecting optional gamepads/controllers, allowing additional players to play without requiring the cabinet to be moved or opened.
Underbody LED lights don’t flash; they cycle smoothly with their own on/off switch.
The top LED bezel features powder-coated aluminium edging, enabling easy future artwork updates and a minimal, clean look.
Sharp display
The display has been upgraded from a standard 17″ LCD to a 19″ 4:3 arcade-quality IPS display. The picture and colour quality are richer and more accurate, while remaining crisp and clear from top, side, or lower viewing angles experienced by kids. The screen maintains its clarity and is protected by tempered glass as opposed to standard perspex/ acrylic covers that scratch and blur easily.
Sound system
Audio upgrades include a smaller amp with volume, treble, and bass accessible from the front panel, along with an on/off button giving you full audio control. Stereo speakers have also been upgraded to avoid crackling and deliver a deeper sound.
Quality controls
The joysticks and buttons are arcade quality. The buttons are full-size leaf style which feels and plays better than cheaper LED buttons.
Should the buttons ever fail the leaf switch can be replaced avoiding the need to match the same style or exact colour button. Joysticks are compatible with Sanwa components be it restrictor plate, bat tops or ball tops, and joystick shaft extensions.
Free play or Coin for extra nostalgia
Choose free play or your preferred coin denomination—whether 20c, $1, $2, or others—for an authentic retro gaming experience. While MiniBeasts machines default to free play mode, you can easily switch to coin operation and choose how many credits each coin provides. The coin mechanisms feature automatic calibration: simply insert your chosen coin (like a 20c piece) into the back of the mechanism, and it will reconfigure itself to accept that denomination going forward.
Upgraded Software
Our King consoles are patched with updated software in-house. Games run smoother and faster than the same factory board.
Direct from Manufacturer
The Electro Arcade MiniBeast Bartop is made to our specifications and installed with reliable upgraded components and extras. All stock is housed in our Melbourne warehouse and dispatched via couriers Australia-wide.
Warranty and Support
We are here should you need support and keep stock of all components ensuring you are covered today, next month or next year. Whether under warranty or not, we can help. Keeping your investment protected while it continues to deliver fun!

The MiniBeast is the perfect addition to any collection. It delivers the arcade experience in a small convenient footprint.

In comparison, the Arcade1UP 8-In-1 Partycade Machine comes in at a lightweight 4.5kg housing a 17″ LCD screen as opposed to our MiniBeast 26kg and 19″ higher quality IPS screen.
From the bedroom or study desk to the deck or lounge room table or bench when guests are over, the MiniBeast comes bundled with all the classics and more.

It’s a true multi-game arcade machine.
Whether you’re playing solo, head-to-head or side-by-side combat, the MiniBeast will bring the fun!
The top marquee lights up just like you’d expect from an arcade machine. The colour-matched aluminium brackets are easily removed should you choose to change the marquee banner image in the future.
Oh did we mention the separate switch on the back? When you want that little bit more atmosphere, flick the switch and the colour strips light up underneath the cabinet.
Like our other King of Retro consoles, it comes with everything you need, but in this case PLUS the TV! We haven’t skimped with the 19″ screen either and gone IPS instead of the standard LCD meaning the picture and colour quality will be richer, more accurate and maintain a crisp and clear image from any angle. The 60Hz refresh rate means up to 60 frames per second exceeds retro gaming requirements.
IPS vs LCD
Unlike budget arcade machines that feature basic acrylic covers and standard LCD screens, the MiniBeast elevates the experience with a premium IPS display that delivers vibrant colors and superior viewing angles from any position. The screen is protected by durable tempered glass, ensuring crystal-clear visibility while providing enhanced safety and easier maintenance.
Experience arcade gaming like never before with the MiniBeast – where classic nostalgia meets cutting-edge technology in a sleek, space-saving design. This premium bartop arcade brings authentic gaming to your home, office, or entertainment space without the bulk of traditional full-size cabinets.
Built with genuine arcade components, the MiniBeast ensures authentic gameplay while making future upgrades and maintenance straightforward with standard, readily available parts. The sophisticated black t-molding provides a clean, professional appearance, while the entire cabinet – including the rear panel – features high-quality vinyl wrapping that showcases your chosen theme with striking visual appeal.
You’ll be 1UP on the competition – Compact yet powerful, the MiniBeast proves you don’t need to sacrifice quality or authenticity for convenience.
bartop arcade premium finish
The control panel features a durable matte finish with scratch-resistant printing designed to withstand regular use. Access is seamless with the rear door equipped with professional-grade cabinet hardware, a secure lock, and two keys for peace of mind.
The front control panel opens on concealed locking hinges, revealing the same attention to detail found throughout – clean, professional wiring that’s as impressive to look at as it is functional. Every component reflects our commitment to quality craftsmanship.
The design maintains a flawless exterior finish with no visible screws penetrating the vinyl wrap, thanks to internal metal reinforcement brackets that provide structural integrity without compromising aesthetics.
Behind the rear door, you’ll find the detachable power cord and main power switch, plus an independent control for the underbody LED lighting system. For ultimate convenience, dual external USB ports allow you to connect keyboards, gamepads, and other peripherals without opening the cabinet.

I received the electroarcade minibeast and cabinet as a birthday present from my wife
I received the electroarcade minibeast and cabinet as a birthday present from my wife. It is solid, well built and really reminds me of the arcades i remember as a teenager. The joystick and buttons are quality. The games menu is well designed and all games work as expected. The LED lights are a nice touch and the working coin slot is a great touch. The twin usb slots for two extra controllers are useful (4 players) or for the light guns. The kids (11,13 & 14) really enjoy the arcade experience the minibeast delivers - it’s a great addition to the garage. I love the arcade machine as it reminds me of simpler times and good fun.

Amazing piece of hardware!
Having looked around at MANY different arcade cabinets for years, I finally found one that fits the bill. The Minibeast Bartop is a very well made unit that oozes quality from the arcade joysticks and buttons to the massive, beautiful display and the wonderful livery.
Having used MAME and the like for longer than I can remember, I can tell you it’s a completely different experience running it on real, arcade hardware.
Service and support have been excellent too, with Paul quick to respond to my queries, and shipping was amazingly fast. Am still working my way through adding extra games to it, with mixed success, but the ability to do so is excellent.
Cranking up some 70s/80s tunes and turning this on leads to a wonderful trip down memory lane. The feel, the sights and the sounds of a misspent youth will all come flooding back. You can even chuck down some 20c pieces to add to the realism.
So if you’re looking around for an arcade cabinet for your den, rumpus room, love dungeon, doomsday shelter or man cave, you can’t go wrong with the Minibeast Bartop. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Service, Fantastic Bartop!
I've been looking for an arcade machine for some time now. I decided to buy from ElectroArcade because their knowledge and passion was clearly on display throughout their website. I was not disappointed, the service from Paul was exceptional and the machine is mint!
A couple of things I'd like to mention since I've had it. Firstly, the follow up service from Paul was great, I had a small issue with the screen misaligned which Paul talked me through fixing (literally, just press a button in the back of the screen).
Secondly, 10,000 games on a Pandora's Box in an arcade machine is too much, finding games, even with the search function, is cumbersome and all the handheld games aren't really suited for purpose.
To overcome this, I stumbled across a team called Pandory. They have created software ($15usd) with tutorials to help you easily back up software and add games via USB. I now have 330 arcade games from the 90's (inc. NBA Jam TE) and I can't get the kids off of it!
