iiRcade is too niche a platform to charge for online modes, in this writer's eyes.įrequent updates and new features are certainly a selling point to the iiRcade home arcade console. Lobbies, matchmaking, and even pricing details are still up in the air. This will allow iiRcade to test and optimize each title's online multiplayer before opening it up to the masses. Instead, it will start to roll out to batches of games starting in Q1 of next year.
Online play is coming to all retro multiplayer games on iiRcade, but the feature won't launch simultaneously across all those games. 2, Gunbird, and Windjammers - four of which are co-op titles! During the latest stream, iiRcade revealed online play in Breaker's Revenge, Double Dragon, Data East's Hoops, Magical Drop 3, Out Zone, Snow Bros. Every week, iiRcade founder and CEO Jong Shin hosts a livestream on YouTube in which he and other staff show off games and features such as online play, which is currently in alpha status. The announcement of online multiplayer for all retro games came during this week's livestream. The iiRcade platform will soon resemble modern consoles even more closely in features when online multiplayer (including co-op!) comes to all retro games on iiRcade early next year.
The appeal of the iiRcade home arcade console is that it mixes the experience and form factor of an arcade cabinet with the console-like ability to buy and download games.
