Evo 2023 Shocker: Unico & UniqMag Unveil 2026 Gaming Lineup, Retro Arcades Lead the Charge

Hold up, did we just get a sneak peek at 2026's hottest gaming gear? Unico and UniqMag certainly think so, dropping a surprise joint reveal of multiple gaming accessories at Evo Las Vegas. The kicker? These highly anticipated items won't hit shelves until 2026. Talk about playing the long game.

The standout announcement for many retro enthusiasts has to be the return of the MVSX home arcade cabinet. After selling out its initial run, this compact gem is back. It packs 50 officially licensed SNK titles, including absolute legends like Metal Slug and King of Fighters. Get ready for an authentic Neo Geo experience right in your living room.

Joining the retro revival is the Raiden R19, a dream come true for vertical shooter fans. This dedicated cabinet boasts a 19-inch vertical display and arcade-quality controls, loaded with entries from Seibu Kaihatsu's iconic Raiden franchise. And for those struggling to find classic CRT monitors, the ULW10 offers a modern solution. This 10.4-inch 4:3 display supports everything from RCA to HDMI, letting you connect your N64, Sega, or Atari exactly as intended.

But Unico and UniqMag aren't just living in the past. They're pushing the future of competitive gaming with new peripherals. The MX10 leverless controller targets fighting game pros, promising precision with its advanced springless magnetic switch technology. For keyboard warriors, the UQ68 and flagship UQ71 feature Uniqmag's proprietary magnetic switches. These replace traditional springs for smoother, more consistent play, boasting features like adjustable actuation, rapid trigger, and an 8,000Hz polling rate. The UQ71 even ups the ante with a premium CNC aluminum chassis.

It's a bold play to reveal products so far out. But with offerings spanning beloved retro experiences and cutting-edge competitive tech, Unico and UniqMag clearly have their sights set on a big 2026.
