Japanese Arcade Cabinets Are Works Of Art

Is it weird that I am more into arcade hardware than I am arcade games themselves?

There's nostalgia attached to old arcade cabinets, and I get that, but I've always been partial to the unique designs employed - and still used - by Japanese companies. Their cabinets always seem...cuter. Like something from the near future. Or, more precisely, from a 90's anime set in the near future.

Karen Novelo's showcase here is a collection of low poly models of some of Capcom's best efforts, released between 1988 and 1995.

They make me very interested in playing a 1990s Japanese arcade simulator (since Western tastes are already catered for).
