by Rainier on Jan. 23, 2024 @ 5:15 p.m. PST

Kit out your dream arcade with machines from the glory era, from simple, vector-based games of the '70s all the way to the early 3D games of the mid-'90s.

With the keys to the family laundromat, Ashley decides to transform the business and give the sleepy town of Grindstone something to get excited about! Stay one step ahead of your father, manage and invest profits, and build your very own Arcade Paradise!

Take the laundromat business made up of dull chores from washing clothes to throwing out the trash, and turn it into a booming arcade with the coolest games in town raking in all the money!

Over 35 arcade games, each fully realized with its own gameplay, stories, missions and high scores to set! Inspired by 3 decades of gaming, from early vector games right up to the 32-bit era. Arcade Paradise will feature newly created ‘classics’ such as Knuckles and Knees, Zombat 2, Woodgals Adventure, Vostok 2093, Gravichase and the bodacious Racer Chaser in FULL 3D and many more.

Insert a second coin and play against a friend in a number of co-operative & competitive arcade games up to 4 players locally.

Rebuilt from the ground-up for VR and oozing with retro-fueled gaming nostalgia, Arcade Paradise VR will take players on an empowering journey from virtual rags to arcade riches.

Publisher Wired Productions and developer Nosebleed Interactive are proud to reveal a brand-new gameplay trailer for Arcade Paradise VR highlighting the 12 fully realized VR arcade cabinets in the adventure and light-management sim combo game.

In an empowering journey taking players from virtual rags to arcade riches, Arcade Paradise VR brings the award-winning and critically acclaimed title to Meta Quest, featuring 39 playable arcade cabinets alongside multiple fully gamified tasks that come with running a laundromat. With 12 fully realized VR arcade cabinets, alongside 27 traditionally controlled games brought over from the original version - Arcade Paradise VR transports players back to 1993 for an immersive and nostalgic gaming experience.

About the VR Exclusive Arcade Cabinets:

  • KO Champ - Before the time runs out, punch the targets as many times as you can in a test of strength, dexterity, and endurance - to become the Knockout Champion.
  • Basketball Blast - Aim, Shoot, Basket. Put your basketball skills to the test as you shoot hoops against the clock before the timer runs out. Oh, and don’t forget to have a blast, a basketball blast.
  • Istvan Speaks - Step right up ladies and gentlemen and allow Istvan to see into your future. Yes… It’s all becoming clear now… it’s time to make the ordinary become extraordinary.
  • Smash ‘Em - Test your speed and reflexes in Smash 'Em, a quick reflex shooter. Take your light-gun, loaded with 30 bullets, to get through 5 rounds of targets. Each round progressively gets more difficult, think and shoot fast to be top of the leaderboards.
  • Balloon Jack 3D - Step into VR and perfect your aim for that all-important high score! Gold balloons are worth 15 points, red is worth 5, and blue extends the timer. But watch out - hitting a skull means it’s GAME OVER!
  • Plus Future Home: Enter Reality, with more details to be revealed very soon…

Prove yourself across each game, set your initials, make your favorite arcade game more popular and upload to the online leaderboards!

From the individual games to choosing what song to put on the jukebox inspired by some of the great records of the early 90s, the soundtrack captures the heart of a bygone era.

Hello 90’s. If you could smell this game, it would smell like memories. Everything from the look and feel of the arcades, to using the latest PC connected to the mind-blowing dial-up connection, all has been recreated with pure love.

Doug Cockle (famous for his voice acting in Victor Vran and The Witcher series) plays the role of Ashley’s berating father. Being too busy in the Riviera to see King Wash for himself, you will receive many phone calls from Gerald sharing his wise words of advice and constant reminders to fix the toilet.

Currently available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam), Arcade Paradise is coming to Meta Quest, Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 in 2024.
