This is a list of all known Japanese arcade cabinets, also known as "candy cabinets".
The majority are sitdown cabinets, with the occasional upright (Sega Swing, SNK MV25UP-0) and cocktail (Sega Aero Table). Construction is usually of metal and plastic, with wood also being used in earlier cabinets. Colours tend to be light (normally white) 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[1] or specialist arcade gaming sources[2][3][4]
