List of Japanese arcade cabinets


This is a list of all known Japanese arcade cabinets, also known as "candy cabinets".
The majority are sitdown cabinets, with the occasional upright and cocktail. Construction is usually of metal and plastic, with wood also being used in earlier cabinets. Colours tend to be light and the cabinets do not allow for custom side art. This is in stark contrast to the American/European style cabinets, which are normally upright, constructed entirely of wood, dark in colour and can be completely customised for the game inside.
These cabinets are found almost exclusively within Japan, and were rarely shipped outside of eastern Asia. As a result, none to very little English information is available for the majority, with most being provided by hobbyist or specialist arcade gaming sources

    [Konami]

Windy

The Konami Windy is a sitdown candy cabinet held in high regard by shoot 'em up players. It's notable for its bright pink artwork, the smallest footprint out of all the 29 in monitor cabinets, and one of the best 15/24 kHz monitors available.
  • Type: Sitdown
  • Released: 1996
  • Japanese Name: UINDI
  • Dimensions: 750 x 905 x 1339 mm
  • Wiring: JAMMA
  • Monitor: 29 in, 15/24 kHz
  • Rotatable: Yes
  • Weight: 105 kg

    Windy II

The Windy II updated the original Windy with a colour scheme change, a tri-sync monitor, and with a change of I/O to the new JAMMA Video Standard. Dimensions and weight remain the same, but unfortunately the design also maintained the easily breakable neck of the original cabinet. Konami included a first party adapter to convert the cabinet to the more common JAMMA standard.
  • Type: Sitdown
  • Released: 1998
  • Japanese Name: UINDI II
  • Dimensions: 750 x 905 x 1339 mm
  • Wiring: JVS
  • Monitor: 29 in, 15/24/31 kHz
  • Rotatable: Yes
  • Weight: 105 kg
  • Notes: Both the Windy cabinets neither have a rotate mechanism nor a monitor frame. As a result of this the monitor is generally kept permanently in either vertical or horizontal orientation. Rotating the monitor requires extreme care – the lack of a frame leaves the fragile neck exposed and easy to snap, rendering the tube useless.
