What I can tell you is yes,that is the only cabinet that exists and we had full accesss to the cabinet in the vaults at Nintendo of America.

I was literally just thinking one minute ago before I read this - I wonder if that is in Nintendo of America's possession, I was going to see if I could match pics of the carpet to any known Nintendo office photos on the web

...Speaking of which, I thought I'd do it anyway -

Ha ha looks like I cracked it, that matches the carpet Whitney is standing on!

Anyway what's in the box beside him!

Cheers, Rich

As a long term observer, this sounds great.

Never saw Sky Skipper in the wild, and the discovery of a real machine makes any reproduction task that much easier and accurate. Fantastic work!

 

[ataritoobin]

Fantastic work guys!

 

[Mr20to5]

Type faster guys,b

Nice detective work Rich lol
The box is just Whitneys camera and scanner.

Looking awesome. I hope it ends up being shown at Play Expo, or better still, replay in Blackpool.

Cheers

Woah, nice find - the cab looks AWESOME! Only skipped (boom! boom!) through the vid, but will check it out in full later.

Great video of Alex & Witney (Broken Token Podcast) showing off Sky Skipper for the first time! Billy Mitchell & Walter were pretty good too.

Hearty congrats Alex & everyone involved! Looking forward to the UK reveal.

 

[Flinnster]

Yep good to see

Now featured on an episode of John's Arcade:

Was an interesting watch, the interview John did was actually better than the presentation on stage as it covered a lot more. Anyone else see the price of Popeye boards going through the roof now?

 

[edget2000]

Where is the UK reveal going to be? Maybe we should have a UKVAC get together as well?

But hats off to Alex and Witney as well as everyone one else involved... alot of dedication

Why do I feel like singing "Record Breakers" all of a sudden

 

[cparsonsuk]

Uk Reveal at Play Manchester in October I believe... gonna try to get there

 

[LAZORIAN]

Absolutely awesome result well done Alex and team.
Now I know why my this old game order is taking so long to get done lol.
Look forward to checking it out here in Blighty if I get the chance.

Sounds like an excuse to get out the house ... especially as its a stones throw from Arcade Club ... might do Friday 13th at AC and the rest of the weekend at play...

 

[edget2000]

Had a quick check of premier inn ... central manchester is £90 a night already but premier inn bury is only £50 a night... such a shame ... could be a couple of hours in AC each night
