So i couldnt believe it when i saw it but someone about 10 min away from was selling this arcade. Ive never seen these before, ive ran into the playchoice 10 systems but never these. its a Dual Screen VS Arcade System from nintendo, i got it with 7 games 2 boards and the gun, the guy says the gun stopped working but i havent figured out how to hook it up to test it. it came with Super Mario Bros, Golf, Lady's Golf, Duck Hunt, Slalon, and 2 copies of Tennis (for dual screen play) it came with the keys and the coin slots work fine, its missing one of the 4th player buttons on the left side, also the second motherboard is missing 2 chips when it replace them from the original one then the second board works fine. i got no idea what its worth or even how to find out since i dont think too many ppl are selling this so some help from the expert arcade people here would be greatly appreciated. Also its all complete has the nintendo branding on the back and came with the original keys

The dual system is wild, I am actually in the process of fixing a pcb for one, but I gotta build a harness, so I've been putting it off. That gun alone is worth a pretty penny, people are looking for them and the ppus sell for between $40 and $60 each. I'm not familiar with the prices for the whole unit and everything else. What two chips are you missing? I might have them or can push you in the right direction  . Also, check out KLOV, its an online arcade forum filled with all sorts of people who could give you a much better estimate because they focus on it on there.

Here’s the site snescube was referring too.  https://forums.arcade-museum.com/index.php


also I know someone that can fix that gun good as new for around 200-300 bucks(been awhile since I wanted mine serviced). Huge cabinet from the vs. line no clue on price or actual rarity.

Also if you have Facebook there’s a group for Nintendo arcades which will be just as good as klov because it’s mostly klov members.  

Any other problems you can slide into my dms

Sick find! I heard these existed but have never seen them. The only dual-screen I've seen before was the red ones. I forget the name, but they were two-screen sitdown units.

Holy shit. No idea about pricing or anything like that, but this is radical.

Thanks for the pictures!

The thought of two-player Tennis melted my brain. That shit would be awesome.

OP, this machine is worth maybe $800-$1300 with a game on each side. Obviously more with more games. This cab is not the most popular among the arcade community, mainly due to its enormous footprint. To save space, many collectors prefer a Unisystem or the dual system red tent mentioned by another member. I've had every other nintendo cabinet but purposely avoided this one because there is no place to put it and it will not fit through a normal sized door.

@AirVillain - the dual system actually enables FOUR player Tennis, so unmelt your brain and re-melt it with that info

Those prices are bloated and have been sitting for quite some time, they generally sell for less. I watch VS System stuff because I like it, so I see it come up all the time. Not too long ago, you were able to buy something like VS Super Mario Bros for $200. A few weeks ago ROM sets with PPUs were selling for $40. I got a VS golf set with the marquee for $40 about a year ago. I'm also fixing a mainboard right now, I would be selling it for about $100 verified working.

I also share the sentament with the unit as a whole, if it is in nice condition, I feel like you could easily get the higher end of that range. Problem is that they are massive, and not many people can haul those, let alone fit them in their house.

The sum of parts always is worth more than the unit as a whole.  Lots of people need a this or a that...and VS parts are interchangeable (generally) between the unisystem, dual system upright, unisystem conversion and dual system red tent.
