With the popularity of virtual reality games and the nostalgia that goes into retro video game arcades, it’s a device that bridges both. I’m back to the 80s Arcade2TV-XR X arcade and the memory trail that really liked this trip. Mixed reality arcade controllers turn your room into an arcade-like experience and use Retro Games and Life-Life Pinball machines on Quest 2 and Quest 3 VR headsets.

The Arcade2TV-XR is connected via a small Bluetooth dongle connected to the VR headset. It maps the game Pinball FX VR With virtual reality and mixed reality, you can play classic arcade games with your physical controller. The control surface includes joysticks, arcade buttons, trackballs on the left and right sides of the device and pinball clamp buttons, resulting in a very immersive arcade experience.
It is compatible with all modern and older gaming consoles, including PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo, as well as PC and Mac, via gaming adapters. However, you are limited to certain types of games on these consoles, so be sure to read the compatible content accurately before purchasing on the X-Arcade website.

The Arcade 2TV-XR currently has a full bundle that costs $399, which includes a dock stand, while the Tankstick-VR controller can be purchased separately for $299.
I spent some time playing with Pinball FX VR and Arcade Ranger and it was both fun. Check out my first look video for more details on how to view and experience the Arcade2TV-XR for X-Arcade.
