Ignite Gaming Lounge

Information

A hybrid between a Gaming Lounge and Arcade (a competitor to BHOP E-Sports Hawthorn).

Their Arcade is meh, there's a couple good games like SMX (we'll touch on that later), Mario Kart Arcade DX, and Time Crisis 5. The rest are redemption games and or average rail-shooters.

Ignite offers a large library of games on PC and Consoles (which are all listed on their website), alongside two Rock Band 4 Studios (which are way too damn expensive for what they're worth, being $25/$45 an hour on the weekdays/weekends).

The SMX cab is also pretty expensive. You can easily burn through $75 reload in a few hours as it is 1 song/swipe </3. (2/22 UPDATE) I talked to staff about it finally, they literally said they do not care LOL, and are aware that’s lowkey a scam (BIGGER LOL), don’t go here. (5/7/26 UPDATE) I was definitely harsh at first after my talk with the employees and such, but it's still bonkers that they are aware about it, you can still go here for one game specifically, more details on the next paragraph.

But if you truly want to try and make the most of Ignite, go on Tuesdays when the price for the arcade is 50% off. If you want better value of your money, take an extra 30mins up north to go to BHOP E-Sports Hawthorn for $20 all-day free-play alongside other rhythm games like WACCA and Chunithm which are both online directed towards custom servers (no hard-knock on Ignite, I just think they need to improve their business practices, especially with their SMX machine).

• Comment removed.

StepManiaX (65" Deluxe Cabinet) (International) updated.
• Comment changed to "P1 bar wobbles a bit, but not enough to hinder high level play. Sensors on P2 meh (down and center like to drop). FCs are doable, you just have to spend $5 extra for another shot on it. (5/13/26) Down panel feels wobbly, be careful not to lose your balance.".
• Pricing changed.

Location information updated.
