That's a fine machine, but not a scale replica. I mean, the Replicade Tempest even includes a small knob (in addition to the playable one) just to keep the look correct. That's what makes the single player panel on Street Fighter such a compromise. It doesn't look like the original anymore, but it's not like they could fit two players.
If they aren't going to keep with their niche of being a replica, they're just another mini arcade machine. As a mini arcade machine with a too-small joystick, it's not worth the money to me.
