I'm still going Walmart to Walmart trying to these on sale. I'm not sure myself if they are worth $300+ and I don't know anyone who has one to try it. I might have to come over 😉
I actually walked into my Wal-Mart a few weeks ago, and they had 5 different cabinets marked down to $75.00 ea. !!! Needless to say, I bought one of each, figuring that I wouldn’t be seeing them again. It’s important to note, that ONLY one Wal-Mart had them at that price, and other stores would NOT honor that price.
Yeah, $299.00 is a bit pricey, but when you actually get it built, and in your house, it is a really cool experience. My thoughts were: why not have FIFTY games per cabinet? When you consider the fact that you can grab a pandora box, AND a small monitor, and SAVE over $100.00, it makes you wonder why they did t sweeten the pot, so to say.
mpholicx2 I am forever saying that myself! Lol..it was just a LUCKY find. I wasn’t even looking for a game at the moment, I was there to see the new bluray releases, and I nearly had a heart-attack! Say WHAT.!?!? SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS?!?! I RAN to get a cart, and piled it HIGH!
They do hurt . I'm 5.7 an with a rise putting weight on them makes chipboard wobble . Actually stick to TV an official completion of games . Even a switch does a better job .
I agree. Even with the riser they are too short for someone 6 ft. or taller, they should have made those risers a little taller. Plus, I wish they would have backlit marquees on all their games like they do with Golden Tee.
I have seven (!) of these machines, including Golden Tee, and I love them. Golden Tee is a fabulous port. I play it almost every day. Remember, they already have Centipede and Missile Command on another cabinet!
@LReigh84 Seriously though, because they make great, attractive furniture for a game room, and you can play them too. Many people have always dreamed of having their own home arcades, and this makes it possible in a compact, affordable form. I used one of them as the basis for a MAME mod as well.
I'll probably grab the MK cabinet at some point. Does it have the clear platform cover like these updated models? It would be nice to have. I guess I could just fab up my own.
Every time I see these I always think that the last thing somebody in their mid-forties needs is to be hunched over a small arcade cab for a couple of hours and slip another disk.
I'm in my 20's, but I've always wanted an arcade at my house. I thought it would be the coolest thing. This is a cool compromise until I have more space to consider getting something a bit bigger and more dedicated down the line, not sure what others thoughts are but I think they're a super cool idea. Plus, you can mod them to play almost any arcade game with a bit of work and raspberry pi
Nice new cabinets. My dad got the Asteroids cabinet as a birthday present for himself and he is over the moon. Personally, what I want them to make in the future (which may be a long shot because of the gun mechanics) is T2: Judgement Day. It’s my favorite!
The risers or at the very least a box to put them on is a must. I like the idea of a arcade cabinet,but I will need it to arcade height. I wish these things would let you put your own games on here,but they are a wonderful trip down memory lane.
Track ball could have included bowling as well...but I love the concept. Golden Tee is a perfect buddy game - Play a round of golf at home with a friend!
It does feel a little short. Maybe they should offer an alternative taller and heavier riser that attaches to the cabinet. That could make the whole setup sturdier.
Paul was playing it just fine at that height...but me, well I'm 6 foot 4, so only a full size cab would be comfortable (and even those are a little low)
Amazon might have a time listed. Here in Canada we still don't have the mortal kombat, but on Amazon it has it listed as coming out here December 29th, so might be worth a try!
I know your comment is a year old now...but as of this last Sunday 1/10/2021 they announced one with both designs either dragons lair and space ace (with all 3 games on it) :D
There is actually a Arcade1up cabinet with Centipede, Missile Command, Crystal Castles, and Millipede in it. And yes, the unit does have a trackball in it too.
@@MetalJesusRocks you should have make it like that video, drinking and having fun building an arcade, I've watched the first video a couple of times just for fun.
If you want to restart the current game without having to reset to main screen just tap all 3 white buttons at same time before you swing and it will prompt and end game option
I own 2 of them and I love it . Centipede and rampage. The trackball needed grease and I needed to replace the main board on rampage. No problems after that .
Drunken Master Paul playing FINAL FIGHT?! My day is off tona great start lol. The CAPCOM cabinet is the one I want the most. It has some of my favorite games in it, especially GnG a series I dedicated to my girlfriend. BUT I cant find it locally so I may have to get it through their website. Great review MJR!
Is the bottom of the riser hollow? If that riser has a bottom panel, screwing on some castor wheels could give you even more height and some convenient mobility.
so they're charging $300 for this fairly large arcade cabinet and that other company was charging $200 for an arcade machine that was like 5 inches tall? lol
@@jlh8830 both from Arcade1Up, but the countercade units aren't cheaply made. I got the Pac Man countercade (my place is too small for a 3/4 size right now) for $320 + tax. They have some good weight to them and feel sturdy and would last allot longer than those mini arcades.
Adding weights or anchors would help the cabinet rocking and rolling when someone is doing some hard gaming and shaking the whole setup.

One main difference is they no longer use crt screens over rgb. Lcd screens are blurry in motion and unless scanlines are used on the emulation will look all kinds of wrong.
Just got an NBA jam machine this week its really worth it. for 420$ its a lot of nostalgia. plus you mod these things and have every game you ever wanted.
Just wanted to point out, the cab slides all over the place on hard wood and laminate. You need to put rubber furniture floor feet under it to stop it from sliding everywhere. great vid! :)
Maybe it's because I live in a small place, but all I am thinking about is how many games fit into an area. As in, # of games per square meter. And only 4 games in each of these massive cabinets? For $300 a pop?
MJR, I can understand your point of view regarding Golden Tee, however the reason it was done that way is because it has dedicated fan base. I can remember people who were fans, flipping out back when the tv plug and play versions were released. However, awesome review! I always enjoy your channel. On a side note, the music in this video was pretty sweet!
These are a lot better than the original release they made a year ago. The marvel super heroes and tmnt arcade cabs will be awesome as well when they are finally released
It's a really troubling sign that every Walmart dispal cabinet is totally busted when I finally used it. Even a semi hidden arcade unit in Costco was broken from use? They seem more like a cool mancave peace of art rather than something I'd feel comfortable using daily without it breaking?
It's a decent solution for those with small spaces and want somewhat of an arcade experience. For the games offered, particularly in the capcom cab, you're getting a good deal. I'd like to see some better scaling on the LCD display and repair some of the wobble in the cab...but, overall i'm not sure who they're marketing to...as i don't think everyone will want to rush out and get one...seems like a niche item.
To the people that complain of wobbling. They include a wall anchor kit that secures these, when they're on a wall. To those saying too small, that is the point. To make them small enough to have multiple cabs in house. Full size cabs are in a different licensing structure than these at 48" meaning it would jack the price up dramatically. Why the offer their riser. Now to the the height. On a riser the control panel of these are within an inch or 2 of CPs of cabaret cabs. The difference is the height of the uprights so it does absolutely nothing to your back.
I bet those are good budget machines. I'm trying to one day own a house, preferably with a basement. I'm going to try and save enough for authentic arcade cabinets from back in the day, and hopefully a pinball machine. I see Paul playing at 2:14, and the Arcade1Up cabinet seems to be rocking quite a bit. Not sure if it can stand up to some zealous gameplay. Nice nostalgic trip, though, especially if you're on a budget for some quick retro action.
I've built a couple of home MAME cabs, so I find these products not very appealing to me. But if that Star Wars yoke is solid, I'll pick one up just for the part.
Looking closer, it appears that Arcade1Up has an excellent replacement part/accessory portion of their website. I guess I'll be able to get that yoke without buying the whole machine. Yay! They also have bat tops for the joysticks if you want to switch. arcade1up.com/collections
The cabinets are cool, but their customer service is sub-par. I bought a cabinet that has a damaged right side panel. They said they would replace it, but no news since and it's been more that two months. I wanted to buy a Star Wats one but I'm not sure anymore.
I was thinking the same thing, the golden tee cab seems like a missed opportunity to have other trackball games. Unless the plan is to release another track ball cabinet. I would like to know full list of cabinets they plan to release.
As soon as you mentioned other trackball games like missile command and Centipede, the Atari Arcade 1up that has the trackball has those games As well as Major Havoc
I'm rather short, so the size of the cabinet isn't a problem there. But alas, I don't have the space in my game room. I'd love something like this though!
I'm 6'4", so I'm definitely going to raise it up. I already have something I can use for that though. I bought it on Cyber Monday from Walmart for $149. I originally had the Asteroids version in the cart (same price), but after looking at some reviews, I was too nervous about a couple of reported issues (I don't want to have to spend another $50 on a better spinner or fill the stock one with pennies!). Final Fight just seems like you are getting a lot more for the money.
I have 3 of these arcade1ups. They are cool and fun but if you play them a lot,they wont hold up.as you can see them shake as the guys play them. They are still amazing to have around! Cool stuff
Watching the video the immediate thing that I notice is the swaying of the cabinet during play. I know you address this problem in the video and the surface it sits on is obviously a factor but the lack of overall weight of the unit when compared to a traditional cabinet will make this inevitable and to be honest puts me off investing in one.
I have the 12-in-1 Atari Deluxe Cabinet and I love it! The only 2 complaints I have with it are the poor quality of the spinner for Major Havok and Tempest and that most games do not save high scores.
I’m in the same camp as the other people complaining that these still aren’t tall enough to play comfortably when standing, even with the riser. I know this has been a big complaint for a lot of people since Arcade1Up’s first run of cabinets. I’m really surprised they still don’t offer a taller riser as a separate option. I know the height issue prevents a lot of people from buying these units when they absolutely would if they could get them taller. Make it happen, Arcade1Up! Give us a riser that’s double the size! #Arcade1UpPleaseMakeASuperRiser
You said the Golden Tee cabinet was disappointing because it doesn't have other trackball games but they released another cabinet with Centipede, Millapede, Crystal Castle, and Missile Command already
2 machines I wish Arcade1up would develop....One would be "The Simpsons Arcade Game." The 2nd, since they have put Midway based machines on the market...would feature a combo of NBA Jam, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, and NFL Blitz.
I got to see one in person for the first time. My thoughts: Even WITH the riser, it's a little short, but i suffer from lower back issues and hunching is not my jam. I need a riser.. For my Riser! Also i do find them light and a easier to move around, carpet or not. I'd still consider one for cheap, but i'd build my own riser that was taller and weighted. I'm not really the demographic though, i'd be more likely to save up and buy a real full size cab.
The pac man one does that also have Donkey Kong in it and where can I purchase 1 of those and how much are they please comment back thank you very much by
I like the game line up for this cabinet but I went with the Marvel Super Heroes one to get 8-way sticks, 6 buttons and the custom riser for modding it into an arcade/console emulator.
I just bought a street fighter 2 cab, modded it with rasp pie, upgraded the joystick/buttons and now I have all these games on one cab. (Can't do the trackball games obviously)
Buy one with trackball and mod it to. I'd like to buy one of each different control setup and add all those similar style games to it. Space is a real problem though.
I have the Mortal Kombat and Final Fight cabinets. Love them. Takes less than a hour to put together. For me a few hours due to other distractions🎥🎮🍕😴. I got risers for both. Pefect heights for me. These machines are made for nostalgia and a space saver, having a fulsize arcade machine would be cool but it would be too big and clunky for some of us with smaller living spaces. I also have Marvel super heros cabinet on reserve. Waiting for Tmnt to go live so i can snatch that up too. Its just awesome to see a fleet of memories( arcade machines) posted up in your living space. I say buy one there neat and great collector item
The Final Fight one got a seriously amazing lineup. Now I actually got tempted....
I'm still going Walmart to Walmart trying to these on sale. I'm not sure myself if they are worth $300+ and I don't know anyone who has one to try it. I might have to come over 😉

Damn that's cheap , the monitor it itself is worth the price.
Why can't I find those kind of deals 😭
That’s a good deal. I think 300 is a disgustingly high price for four games. I can buy Final Fight for SNES for 20 dollars.

Tall people would probably need a stool (I guess really short people too)
They do hurt . I'm 5.7 an with a rise putting weight on them makes chipboard wobble . Actually stick to TV an official completion of games . Even a switch does a better job .
my thought exactly. i'm 6'4" and just watching that makes my back hurt
I would rather get a full-size one and throw all the ROMs on it
I agree. Even with the riser they are too short for someone 6 ft. or taller, they should have made those risers a little taller. Plus, I wish they would have backlit marquees on all their games like they do with Golden Tee.

Streets of raaaage
Every time I see these I always think that the last thing somebody in their mid-forties needs is to be hunched over a small arcade cab for a couple of hours and slip another disk.
There's literally no reason to own a cabinet when you can just get an arcade stick controller to play any game with.

It does feel a little short. Maybe they should offer an alternative taller and heavier riser that attaches to the cabinet. That could make the whole setup sturdier.

So true
The height of the machine just looks awkward. My chiropractor would love this. She'd make a fortune off this contraption.
I would make my own riser to raise it to actual arcade height.

Or Capcom Bowling.
Seeing that beer on that wobbly cab was giving me heart palpitations.
Welcome to a regular evening w/ DMP :)
I'm 6'4", so I'm definitely going to raise it up. I already have something I can use for that though. I bought it on Cyber Monday from Walmart for $149. I originally had the Asteroids version in the cart (same price), but after looking at some reviews, I was too nervous about a couple of reported issues (I don't want to have to spend another $50 on a better spinner or fill the stock one with pennies!). Final Fight just seems like you are getting a lot more for the money.
I got the Mk arcade 1up. I love it. I'm looking forward to tmnt. They need to have light gun games.
^^ THIS ^^ Light gun games would be amazing!
Time Crisis WHEN?!
@@MetalJesusRocks call them. Tell them if you show it on your channel the sales will skyrocket!
can u add a couple bags of sand or concrete at the base to weight it down?
My local Walmart sells these in store. Might have to pick one up.
I have 3 of these arcade1ups. They are cool and fun but if you play them a lot,they wont hold up.as you can see them shake as the guys play them. They are still amazing to have around! Cool stuff
Watching the video the immediate thing that I notice is the swaying of the cabinet during play. I know you address this problem in the video and the surface it sits on is obviously a factor but the lack of overall weight of the unit when compared to a traditional cabinet will make this inevitable and to be honest puts me off investing in one.
I have the 12-in-1 Atari Deluxe Cabinet and I love it! The only 2 complaints I have with it are the poor quality of the spinner for Major Havok and Tempest and that most games do not save high scores.
I believe they fixed the spinner issue. Contact their customer service for a replacement.
I’m in the same camp as the other people complaining that these still aren’t tall enough to play comfortably when standing, even with the riser. I know this has been a big complaint for a lot of people since Arcade1Up’s first run of cabinets. I’m really surprised they still don’t offer a taller riser as a separate option. I know the height issue prevents a lot of people from buying these units when they absolutely would if they could get them taller. Make it happen, Arcade1Up! Give us a riser that’s double the size!
#Arcade1UpPleaseMakeASuperRiser
You said the Golden Tee cabinet was disappointing because it doesn't have other trackball games but they released another cabinet with Centipede, Millapede, Crystal Castle, and Missile Command already
Thanks for the video! I’m picking one up today!!!
2 machines I wish Arcade1up would develop....One would be "The Simpsons Arcade Game." The 2nd, since they have put Midway based machines on the market...would feature a combo of NBA Jam, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, and NFL Blitz.
I got to see one in person for the first time. My thoughts: Even WITH the riser, it's a little short, but i suffer from lower back issues and hunching is not my jam. I need a riser.. For my Riser! Also i do find them light and a easier to move around, carpet or not. I'd still consider one for cheap, but i'd build my own riser that was taller and weighted. I'm not really the demographic though, i'd be more likely to save up and buy a real full size cab.
Final fight isn't on their website anymore for some reason
The pac man one does that also have Donkey Kong in it and where can I purchase 1 of those and how much are they please comment back thank you very much by
Just bought final fight this month...I love it so much
a barstool might be needed to play for a long time, that angle doesn't look good for ones back. Anyways great video!
Allot of the new cabs being released will have stools included.
I like the game line up for this cabinet but I went with the Marvel Super Heroes one to get 8-way sticks, 6 buttons and the custom riser for modding it into an arcade/console emulator.
Super impressed with the original Might and Magic series in the background.
I just bought a street fighter 2 cab, modded it with rasp pie, upgraded the joystick/buttons and now I have all these games on one cab. (Can't do the trackball games obviously)
Buy one with trackball and mod it to. I'd like to buy one of each different control setup and add all those similar style games to it. Space is a real problem though.
I have the Mortal Kombat and Final Fight cabinets. Love them. Takes less than a hour to put together. For me a few hours due to other distractions🎥🎮🍕😴. I got risers for both. Pefect heights for me. These machines are made for nostalgia and a space saver, having a fulsize arcade machine would be cool but it would be too big and clunky for some of us with smaller living spaces. I also have Marvel super heros cabinet on reserve. Waiting for Tmnt to go live so i can snatch that up too. Its just awesome to see a fleet of memories( arcade machines) posted up in your living space. I say buy one there neat and great collector item
Golden Tee was the only one of these I was interested in. They were in every sports bar I was at in the mid 1990s.
Because I couldn't get the Final Fight cab here in Australia I ended up getting an old crt arcade cab and getting a raspberry pi -> jamma device
Love the Final Fight arcade, both games and aesthetically. I'd say that one is worth it. Had to pick one up myself. ;)
