Make the Switch to A Smarter Arcade: Introducing the Mini Arcade PRO for Nintendo® Switch™ 1 | 2 and OLED Switch Via Exclusive Partnership With Bluemouth Interactive and iMP Gaming

Big Arcade Thrills, Living Room Friendly Size and at a Pocket Friendly Price; Worldwide Consumer Launch Debut at PAX AUS!

London, England, – October 3 , 2025 – iMP Gaming, a leading UK based manufacturer and distributor of quality gaming hardware and accessories, announced today an exclusive partnership with Bluemouth Interactive for distribution in the ANZ region of the Mini Arcade PRO, an ingenious new accessory designed to transform the Nintendo® Switch™ 1 | 2 or Switch OLED into a miniature arcade.
 

Set to make its official consumer debut at PAX AUS, the largest consumer and trade video game show in the ANZ territory, the Mini Arcade PRO is expected to begin shipping in time for Holiday 2025 and is available for pre-order NOW at JB Hi-Fi, Big W, The Gamesmen and EB Games.
 

Ideal for arcade titles, shooters, fighters, retro games and so much more, the Mini Arcade PRO is a high-quality, cost-effective way to recreate the genuine arcade feel of gaming’s golden era, utilising players’ own Nintendo Switch 1 or 2 (not included), instantly enhancing their chosen game and providing speedy, accurate controls for arcade enthusiasts.
 

Effortlessly easy to assemble, the Mini Arcade Pro is constructed from robust ABS material and uses the console screen of the Nintendo Switch as its display, slotting into the arcade shell and connecting via a solid, ultra-fast USB-C connection. Shipping with a screen adapter to accommodate either the Switch 1 or 2, once the tablet slots in, gamers have a perfect tabletop arcade, working with the vast majority of Switch 1 and 2 titles, and featuring the traditional arcade feel of a real Ball-Top Joystick with micro-switched, steel shaft engineering, and authentic eight-button configuration Action Buttons.
 

Further enhancing game compatibility, the Mini Arcade PRO features an integrated switch, dynamically changing the input of the ball-top Joystick. Users can instantly toggle between D-Pad, left, or right thumb stick control, so gamers can enjoy the vast majority of the Switch 1 and 2 game catalogues without breaking a sweat. Mario Kart anyone?
 

An ideal statement piece, thanks to the custom retro arcade graphic design, the Mini Arcade PRO looks as good switched off as it does when in action, and players’ favourite games are never far away, as the Mini Arcade PRO even features handy storage for up to 12 Game Cards hidden at the rear of the device.
 

Struggling with that bullet-laden shooter? No problem! The Mini Arcade PRO levels up gamers’ skills thanks to the addition of Turbo +/- Action Buttons, as well as a Home and Chat button for instant communication with friends or teammates.
 

Dean Harvey, Managing Director of iMP Gaming commented, “Bluemouth Interactive were our first choice when partnering for ANZ given their experience and reputation with businesses and consumers alike. Mini Arcade PRO is the perfect example of the innovative direction iMP Gaming is now taking with its range of Nintendo Switch 2 compatible accessories. Ingenious, cost effective and effortless to use, the Mini Arcade PRO uses the players’ own Switch or Switch 2 device, perfectly recreating the arcade thrills so many of us grew up with. Gamescom is the ideal opportunity to unveil the Mini Arcade PRO to the world for the very first time and we look forward to receiving media and partners both old and new to the show in order to go hands-on with the next big, small thing in gaming!”
 

Bluemouth Interactive will be located at Booth 5200 located in Main Expo Hall and they encourage interested parties to reach out should they wish to meet and experience Mini Arcade Pro first hand, by contacting: Marketing@bluemouth.com.au
