Iconic Arcade Double Dragon Games List Revealed: 14 Classic Gems

August 2, 2026

The home arcade space is heating up again, and Technōs Japan fans have a lot to smile about. While the upcoming Double Dragon cabinet from Iconic Arcade is still surprisingly unlisted on their official website, new details, including the full 14 game lineup and pre-order strategy have finally started to surface.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on Iconic Arcade’s rollout, you know they’re positioning themselves as a heavy-hitting alternative in the ¾ to 9/10 scale home cabinet market. Following the blueprint of their previously announced Street Fighter II: The World Warrior unit, this Double Dragon cabinet is shaping up to be a must have for retro beat’em up purists.

14 Technōs & Data East Legends

While the main draw is obviously the legendary brawler with Billy and Jimmy Lee, Iconic Arcade isn’t limiting this machine to just a single franchise. The included game menu packs a surprisingly deep cut of classic arcade beat’em ups, sports titles, and action:

Double Dragon (The original 1987 arcade classic)
Double Dragon II: The Revenge
Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone
Renegade
Super Dodge Ball (Console Edition)
Super Dodge Ball (Arcade Edition)
The Combatribes
V’Ball (U.S. Championship V’Ball)
Shadow Force
China Gate
Xain’d Sleena (Solar Warrior)
Acrobatic Dog-Fight
Bogey Manor
River City Renegade

Having both the console and arcade releases of Super Dodge Ball, alongside gems like The Combatribes and China Gate, gives this cabinet tremendous replay value beyond the core Double Dragon trilogy.

Authentic Artwork & Build Quality

From early previews and floor models, Iconic Arcade is hitting the mark on presentation. The cabinet features authentic side artwork, bezel graphics, and marquee art directly mirroring the original 1987 arcade unit.

Quality Controls: High response joysticks and convex arcade buttons designed to handle aggressive two player beat’em ups like Double Dragon.
Full Scale Feel: Built to standard Iconic Arcade dimensions (68 inches high, 9/10 scale), giving it a commanding presence in any game room compared to standard riser model and deluxe ¾ scale units from Arcade1up.
Lit Coin Door & Marquee: Faux illuminated coin doors and a bright light-up marquee to complete the authentic arcade aesthetic.
Raspberry Pi 5: Iconic Arcade leverages the Raspberry Pi 5 hardware running officially licensed ROMs, allowing smooth performance and improvements via firmware updates. The board utilizes an HDMI out for to a 24-inch LCD monitor (19.5” viewable).

Iconic Arcade has officially begun rolling out the Iconic Arcade XT Software Update across existing Street Fighter XT cabinets, and it gives us a good idea of what we can expect from Double Dragon out of the box or via day one firmware update.

Pricing, Shipping & Assembly

Even though Iconic Arcade hasn’t formally opened pre-orders on their main site, rumors heavily point to a $799.99 MSRP, aligning with the pricing of their Street Fighter II XT cabinet.

Like previous releases from Iconic Arcade, the unit will ship flat-packed, meaning self assembly is required once it arrives at your door. Luckily, their cabinet builds use an approachable cam lock assembly system, keeping the setup process straightforward even for first time home arcade builders.

If you are wondering why pre-orders haven’t gone live yet, it’s by design. According to updates shared from Kevin at Spreetail, they are holding off on opening pre-orders until “the boats are on the water.”

This deliberate delay is meant to avoid the extended pre-order waiting periods and fulfillment headaches that plagued the Street Fighter II XT launch. Once pre-orders open, buyers should be able to actively track the physical shipment’s progress straight to fulfillment centers.

Distribution is expected to roll out through Spreetail and possibly affiliated outlet VMInnovations (Owned by Kevin Rohrer).

Since Spreetail operates as a major third party seller across giant marketplaces, you will likely see listings across Walmart, eBay, Target, and Amazon.

It is important to always look closely for “Sold and shipped by Spreetail” in the fine print.

Iconic Arcade is proving that they aren’t just rehashing the same handful of titles. Delivering 14 legitimate arcade classics in a high quality cabinet design with dedicated Double Dragon side art makes this one of the most exciting cabinets announced this year.
