dude says can you believe they make so many nba jams, then admits he has multiple nba jams and is still looking to add more nba jams to his nba jam collection. Dat makes no nba jam-sense, jammit. This message is brought to you by nba jam.
lol it’s wise advice Serpo, but Shaq Jam is still calling my name :) one day hopefully I’ll get it!
If investors have take over operations of Arcade1Up, expect cost and corner cutting measures and playing it safe with choices of cabs going forward. When investors step in they are scared and disappointed with direction of company. So expect scared money decisions to follow. Which will not be what the core base wants.
Definitely not good for you and I, Thanks for weighing in Tim 👊
I have the first Tmnt cabinet without the light up marquee and I didn’t see the reason behind the second version of the same game lol. However I might still get one of the Pac-Man cabinets. So much nostalgia in that game. I believe I got the GameStop membership for $19 😅
@edwinsvideogames that membership is a steal right now :)
And ultimately, they will get even fewer sales.
That’s what I’m afraid of
Oh man I had a feeling you were being sarcastic. lol Anyway I don't think Arcade1up is dead, but they are confusing us right now. I will not be the majority of doom and gloom saying they are finished. We will know when that happens. But you brought up a good point. Why would they keep selling cabinets and not marking them down quickly? Yeah they are still in the race, but they need to figure out what is going on with the future of their company.
Well I had a rough Tuesday. They told everybody to go home at work due to a fire in one of the areas. And of course I drove all the way out to Phoenix which is 31 miles one way. The Z took a while to start, then I finally got on the freeway going home. The Z started losing power and sputtering a little. Got to the last offramp and he died at the light. Thankfully a nice dude with a truck blocked the lane so people wouldn't pull behind me. It seemed to take a while to finally get him started again, then I raced home and he was conking going up the driveway. Took me around 2 hours to finally get back home. Called the mechanic and told him what happened. He said the engine is back in, just need to plug in things here and there. He said the end of this week at the latest my Grand Prix GTP should be ready. Meanwhile my supervisor texted me saying it was good to report to work tomorrow this Wednesday. Then I told him my Z is toast and I'm waiting for my other car to be repaired. So today I got some heat exhaustion being out the almost 120 degree temps. And then I got a bad headache all around my head a while ago. Probably from being out in the hot sun too long. Just took many hours to catch up with me. I've had this type of headache when I had heat stroke before. Definitely no fun whatsoever.
I’m sorry you had to deal with that Atran, I heard it was 114 degrees in Phoenix yesterday. What a miserable time to be out there, I was worried when you mentioned work I’m glad they’re back open. Lay low today drink as much water as you can and hopefully you’ll figure out getting to work until your car is back, sounds like you’ll have him back soon 🤞
My favorite cabinet so far honestly is my Pac-Man counter cade lol
I like my countercades too :)
I wish someone competent would take over the company and get it's crap together. You'd think A1Up would have everything nailed down by now.
You and me both Kirk 👊 It’s good to hear from you :)
So I wanna talk about some facts. 1. There are two classes of 1up fans the 1st being the toy/collector fans which legally and licensing laws and patterns for 1up state these are not video games they are toys with a toy license. Which operates far different from a video game rights launch and use license. 2nd fan being the gamer hardcore and arcade enthusiasts. John B was a gamer not a toy guy he recruited Maximilian dood Justin Wong ex midway now netherrelm mortal kombat devs ect to get these toy licenses. All these recruited gamers who are figure heads in games like KI MVC MK blitz ect have been on record saying 1up is dead because of the toy license. Which is fact if a toy doesn't sell and it's a licensed product said company who paid for license which standard license agreement is over a 5 to 10 year period with required year over year profit or pay out to license owner. Doesn't turn profit sell or margin certain amounts of product the license owner can claim full rights destruction or full payment return for failure to honor license or agreements made. With NFL NBA Marvel KI/rare this is whats happened. Lastly if you want the final proof of this. All of this gets exposed when you speak to any capcom employee or marvel vs capcom dev or creator. As for all of us it's common knowledge and understood that MVC2 or marvel super hero 1up cabs are not games or legit "marvel" products because of the toy license the marvel fighting game collection is the 1st and only ever physical collection or true release in a game rights game license and game product launch in almost over 30 years leading to gamers to rejoice and further denounce 1up and their toy agreements. This has lead to the exposure and speaking out that 1up is dead because people now know they are toys not video game products.
Thank you for breaking this down, I won’t argue these are toys this makes a lot of sense. It will be interesting to see what happens going forward if anything, Thanks for your insight and for watching.
@PDX7 oh yeah for sure and it's a good thing to clear all this up and why the gamer side like RGT and so many of us gamers that bought into 1up with legit games. Don't get me wrong pac man atari ect are games but they are still in every arcade bowling ally and fun centers. Real arcade games even more so uncensored arcade perfect ports hardly exist in our world anymore. IE OG blitz/jam true killer instinct and uncensored MVC. That's what John B promised that was what 1up was intended to be and what people trusted in him for when getting these licenses and having pros ex devs and experts in the field of these games on board at the time was about. Now 1up up to so many is just repro repop of the cheapest licenses over and over or trying to recoup losses on their most expensive licenses with said repro and repop.
@BulletClubGaming91 almost very similar to myarcade now
@@PDX7 myarcade is going to actually release several atari properties though, including pole position hopefully at some point.
and they still have a wide variety of older titles.
there is no comparison. they are in a completely different market, that you can't compare.
they are the only company doing that price range, since tiny arcade doesn't make anymore.
quarter arcade and replicade, new wave toys are a huge step up, and are in their own market too.
but neither really keeps stock around, although you can find some quarter arcade ones around
later

I'm glad I watched this video ALL the way to the end...you had me going there for a minute. I know 1up is a hot mess right now but I'm still hoping for a turnaround. You and I still need some of those 70's and 80's cabs!
I tried not to stay on doom and gloom for too long :) Thanks for watching the entire video Stokjock!
My biggest concern is the new NBA jam being the new form factor. It’s just too phoney and flimsy looking. There’s not even enough room for side art anymore.
Hopefully we won’t see any more like this, I think it’s a cheap way for them to cash out on remaining cabinet shells. One things for sure they haven’t lost the license for nba jam :)
Big issue for me is, why not put more games in the 2p and 4p cabs like the NBA jams, NFL blitz.
Min combo jam/blitz plus other 2/4p games, like fighting or Simpsons in one. Or Pay to dl after you buy the cab.
Point is, cabs need 10+ games each, games matching the screen orientation and controls of the cab, sweet spot being about 30 games/cab.
Point of home arcades is space efficiency while retaining period accurate gameplay, ie running original roms accurately with retro correct controls, like the Star Wars yoke, driving controls, quality sticks, analog vs digital, 4 vs 8 way. Etc
It would be great to be able to purchase more games that be able to play on 3, 5 & 6 button cabs. I’d like to have all sports games on one too.
Dude I loved when Azrael took over as batman after Bane broke his back. I still have some of those comics and he was so brutal Bruce had to stop him. They need to make that series into a batman animated movie.
I loved comics back then :) I’m glad I picked him up I would have been kicking myself for not buying.
I considered that all the different rehashed generations of NBA JAM as well as Golden Tee could possibly be that A1U is trying to cover all the different sizes to convenient different ppl's living spaces. Just a thought....
Yes it gives options to all different types of spaces, that’s a great way to look at it.
Focus on your adventure vlogs. The audience will come. : )
Thanks Kristen :)
I definitely agree
Dragons Lair, Star Wars Golden tee. Then I'm out I have 11 I need those 3 for the perfect arcade for me🎉 Tired of the hunt
Wait to get DL and GT when both are 499 or less and Kohls is giving kohls cash. SW is on Amazon but 699, not sure more will come out just yet..
I want a Starwars XL to come out
I do too, might have to mod our 3/4 scale instead..
@@PDX7 That's an Arcade I missed out on. Just got into collecting Arcades this past November. Class of 88, Mortal Kombat II, Time Crisis, and Big Buck Hunter. And my multicade ArcadeModup M2P Pro. I have just enough space to fit one more Starwars and I can not find it anywhere except Europe and I can afford the shipping
@NathanHarrisononline keep an eye on marketplace in the meantime, this is a cab I really expect another release.
Bro why are you calling so many people out? lol I hope you are right about the one and done and wrong about it being just re releases. To be clear I don’t think they are going out of business I just don’t have a lot of hope for cool interesting games and worried about the form factor. Keep hope alive buddy
Hey Mike, I hope it’s a one and done too a lot of people shared what could happen when new investors step in and it scared me on a new possible form factor. Dude I’m not calling anyone out, just trying to keep the positivity man. Definitely my friend 👊
i have a Legends Ultimate but i also Love my Xmen ‘97 Arcade1up. i’ll admit i bought it just for mvc2 because it plays So much better than the dedicated mvc2 cabinet 😂
I wanted to go with X-men 97, had a spot picked out for it I just decided having MVC2 was good enough for now. Do you have any interest in ATGames Legends Ultimate 4k?
4k? idk i have a ps5 i barely play 😂
@docAwfulMD lol these are very pricey I get it, how many can we actually buy that we will play consistently.
@@PDX7right like i still have a xb1, 2 switches and a anbernic handheld emulator too… honestly the older i get im more inclined to play childhood classics when i have spare time than 4k anything
@docAwfulMD I feel the exact same way too
Mr Fox!!
At least he is safe
Thanks for a fun WalkandTalk PD7
I couldn’t imagine going there and Mr Fox not there anymore :) Thanks Ted
"If you can call us adults!" 🤣😂🤣 Good video Phil! paPOw!!! 💥👊💥
lol :) Thanks Zod 👊
Love your passion Phil but ask yourself this, if Cyrus is head of licensing and no new licenses have been bought in nearly a year what exactly are they paying him for? If you are seeing retailers buying less and less of 1ups, what does that tell you? If cheaper products are being made and rehashes are being done there isn’t enough money being made it’s only a matter of time and I keep telling people October of 2024 is when the fate of 1up will be revealed. The one year anniversary of the month the debt to the bank is due. If they don’t pay off their debt it’s curtains. .
Maybe as weird as it sounds Cyrus has maintained current license to produce the same old, but they’ve still made Marvel, NBA Jam, GT and hopefully Ms Pacman this year. I’m sure budget was tight to get something that we all wanted but they gave us something. If we don’t see anything leading into winter / spring yea curtains closing for sure.
That Azreal blue variant is a hard color to get! They only have the red in my area… good find!
Thank you :) good luck hunting 👊
Thank you PD7. I signed up for GS pro. Like you said, it’s a no brainer.
Nice!!
Thought to myself, no way Phil jumped on the A1up is dead train, good to see you haven’t!!! You had lots of valid points, I think we’ll continue to see rehashes and they will sell some, but not big numbers.
I was worried in the beginning had to make it quick Baldmar :)
Let's hope so they are very expensive that could be a drawback
Hopefully 399 will be starting price points instead of 499
@@PDX7 or maybe 249, maybe
That would be awesome :)
Wassup bro. So you're saying they're done too? Well if codemystics will put the original Hangtime rom along with the TE rom that had the Mortal Kombat characters & fatalities then I'm good. I think that's the only way they will if arcade1up goes under.
Hey Grand Master 🏀 No they’re not going anywhere :) hopefully see you Saturday nights next month! It’s good ti hear from you 👊
so they dont make anymore?? oh shit
Hey Viet Dragon! It’s good to hear from you 👊
Dude arcade1up is dead! These adventure videos are fun though!
Thanks Dave :)
Hi PhilO. AngelO says at least we know something is coming this fall. Atgames been in Biz since 2001, A1up hasn't been around that long after John D and Scott left things have been going down hill. Prepare for the worst hope for the best. Captain D's wants paid and the fish mafia in NY isn't playing around, AngelO made some bets and they came for her, I had to pay up her debt, sales might be good but they owe alot of money...
I hope they’ve made most of it back with these rehashes 🤞Say hi to AngelO for me :)
1up been around since 2011.

@@carlo1132 ok founded in 2011
@@TheBigb1973 If you would take the time to read that Wikipedia you'd see it clearly says 2018 Brother.
I would buy an Infinity tablet if they were around $300. 1k is too much for a small touchscreen tv.
Any higher is too much, 300 I’d do it too.
you're completely wrong. they are thriving with the software sales for these, and the initial kickstarter made over 1 million.
😊👍 yeah : D mr fox was in this video you know what i agree with u maby theses NBA Jam casino cade ver will sell some of theses maby theses cabs are not for us maby there just made to bring new people in so they can make more money and they will stay in buessness : D
Good morning Prince Vinny, I think we’re both right it’s just a one and done form factor.
I agree.....
😂😂 i love you to death bro, BUT while y'all are trying to collect all of em like Pokemon, these things aren't meant for that, only like one new cab a year, then other form factors.. You're not supposed to be collecting EVERY SINGLE ONE, no one should have 3 nba jams, no one plays nba jam that much NO ONE... At this point it's about collecting them for most of y'all bro.. No one really plays these things more than about 10-12 hours per week, I just wish people would admit it's about collecting, more than playing
I’m not going to lie I’m into collecting them too man, it’s the look the tricking your mind your walking into an arcade. I don’t know what it is about NBA Jam, but I’m always pulled towards it from back in the day at the bowling alley I first played it. I’m afraid if I don’t buy certain ones they’ll be gone for good. Thank you for weighing in Chosen One 👊 Always a pleasure my friend!
I'd be collecting all the XLs if we ever got any more.
@RobotRon_2084 since you brought it up I’d still pickup KI pro if it dropped
iiRcade went bankrupt but I've collected 5 Gold Edition cabinets. Buy what you want to...or don't. We're not guaranteed tomorrow. Enjoy your hobbies!
@Triumph_or_Die I agree 100% man 👊
It's 4:45 am. What am I doing?
It’s way too early lol what are we doing up :)
Nice bait and switch video. 😂🎉❤ Classic TH-cam. Lol
Thanks Papa Brad :)
You're right it's hard to call youtubers in this community adults right now. It seems none of you have any legit business/microeconomic sense, just vanity. You have no data on sales, so the whole "Arcade1up is Dead" talk is complete nonsense. A good indicator of company health is simply the fact they are still shipping product to physical stores and clearly have a budget for display and promotion. Here's the truth, It isn't that Arcade1up is dying, the A1U die hard community is dominated by grown man-children who don't get that they are not the only target for sales. The community is small and sales are from a vastly wider pool. The only thing you're actually reacting to is A1U reacting to the global market, like most other major companies are worldwide, and that you're not getting your way. You're just not getting the titles or what you and small group of you personally want for design specifics. You are deluding yourself if you think the data on their returns reflect the wants of this community. The real wake up call is that this community needs to snap out of it and realize they are NOT the center of attention, nor the main focus of A1U sales strategy. At most they take notes from us on things that will work better for future products, but that's it. That's why they disengaged from the community. It's not all about us and they figured that out. And video's like this combined with what they actually see on their quarterly statements most likely prove them right.
Thank you for your input man and for watching 👊
I knew u couldn't do a doom and gloom video! You better hope this new nba scam edition doesn't sell well because its alot cheaper to make and theres alot more profit in it than the regular deluxe models. If it sells well i could see this scam version be the new model going forward.
I know 1up isnt dead this year or even next year but i doubt they'll be arond at the end of 2026, you cant survive that long on rehashes only.
You have a very good point man, neither one of us would buy another one.
Hey Phil if arcade 1 up goes out of business end of this year. That means no online play?.
If they go out of business that is correct no online play.
@@briandoerr8491 that sucks big time.
Unfortunately yes, I’m always worried about losing online.
@@PDX7 I hope they stay in business for long. The reason why I bought my cab was because of the online
There will still be online play forever because it's peer to peer..... But no one really plays THAT much online anyways like people try to make it seem
I honestly don’t like the deluxe arcades they look to tall and thin
They are a little wobbly too, it’s good to have options.
Arcade1up might not be filing for bankruptcy anytime soon but the writing on the wall tells me that Tastemakers is looking to boost their books to sell the company. ATgames seems like a logical fit to buy 1up.
That would be crazy if ATGames bought them.
Arcade1up isn't dead! Costco should be getting a XL soon I hear!
Can’t wait :)
You apparently have no understanding of revenue verses actual net profit.
So sick of A1Up's endless rehashes. The only way I'm rebuying another cab is if it's in the XL format with a decent 19" screen.
I’m with you Darth, I’m really considering as crazy as this sounds to buying KI Pro because of that. Looking at a few things to sell to justify it.
I might be in the minority but I love building these cabinets. I'm hoping for someone to buy 1up or a competitor to come out with something. Until then the wait is driving me to step away from the community for a bit, but will stay subscribed to everyone in case something new is released. Great video
I hope we will see each other in October Kevin, don’t lose hope yet man :)
I will say, I wish A1U would take note from AtGames and have the prebuilt upper half and then you just connect the bottom. I guess they are more concerned about smaller boxes and flat packing like Ikea but it makes a world of a difference with the install and the stability of the machine. I hate how cheap and toyish they feel after they are built whereas my AtGames Legend doesn't rock/move and feels like an actual arcade machine. I want A1U to survive and flourish and since they've already released most of the major cabs, they should focus on refreshes with higher quality.
Even if it costs a little more I’d like more quality too.
The "Yo Yo" prices and the constant rehashes of the same cabs over and over was a company killer for sure. We grew as arcade consumers as well. Most people are not satisfied with little 17" screen small arcades anymore. A1Up never grew with their customers. Starwars XL would of been epic along with some other new titles, but we never got there.
I wonder if we will ever get a SW XL from them.
I had a few of the 2018 releases the first gen Street Fighter of course the Fry's Electronic limited edition centipede cabinet Galaga and also 40th anniversary Pac-Man two of the cabinets I actually modded with raspberry pies I do feel cheated seeing how nice the deluxe cabinets are it's actually the same size as the originals
That’s always been the difficult thing is deciding to buy then another version came out. Happened to me too :)
the deluxe cabinets have NEVER been the same size as the originals.
are you talking about the original arcade, or original arcade 1up.
and they have never matched the actual arcade size.
even the pac-man XL came close, but still didn't match.
@copyrightstrike6910 I meant resembled the original arcades in a home arcade size, yes the XL are still smaller too.
So if Arcade 1up is done, then that means all hope is gone now for Killer Instinct and Simpsons countercades. Not only that, they jack the prices up too high. They also keep releasing the same stuff over and over again. No diversity. By the way, I should go to my Gamestop sometime and place a preorder for Madden NFL 25 for Playstation 5.
Those would’ve been great coyntercades to release and they would’ve made a ton off them.
My opinion is that Arcade1up is not going anywhere. They are pivoting with this new form factor which will cause them to lose their 1% of diehard fans. Other people will buy these up. If there are any cabs that you want, get them now, because they are not going to go down in price, maybe 50 bucks or 100 bucks if you're lucky. My advice get the cabs you want now because they won't be around a year from now. So go get that Shaq Jam buddy!!! Because of you, I'm getting a Shaq Jam. I stopped at ABT yesterday to check it out and I love it, I already have the Golden Tee XL. I 19 cabs brand new in the box never opened. I've collected them and never set them up, I even have the Burgertime. Get the cabs you want sooner than later, my advice. Also, I don't see them coming out with new titles, just rehashes of what sells the best for them. 2024 is the year to buy new or used cabs you've wanted or passed up because 2yrs from now they'll be really hard to come by.
Hey Bill, where are you thinking of buying Shaq from? Also did abt have GT deluxe on display yet?
@PDX7 I'm either going to get it new from Target because of my Target circle discount and gift cards I'll be able to pay a little less than $500 for it. I'm also waiting to see if Amazon will discount it on Prime Day, so possibly Amazon also. I've accumulated 20 Arcade1up's new in the box sealed. I'm buying a new house in October with a large basement. That's why I haven't ever opened them. Patience is a bit@h...lol. I'm hoping the Costco XL is a Miss Pac-Man because I passed on the Pac-Man XL and I now regret it. That's why I'm saying to get the cabs you want now because we're not going to be getting them as easily and as cheaply as we did the last few years, at least not the rare ones like Tron, Shaq Jam, Burgertime, Dragons Lair, etc etc....
@PDX7 No it wasn't on display as of yesterday yet.
@billkirby75 I’m really thinking KI pro all of a sudden, if I bought KI or Tron 2 cabs would have to go. Shaq would just shift MVC2 in another spot. I bet it’s hard not to open, but it’s a wise call to hold off building :)
@billkirby75 thank you 👊
I feel like, at some point, A1Up should have partnered with Six Flags, cause this has been a rollercoaster. Great Walk N Talk.
That would be the ultimate merger: Six Flags, Cedar Fair and Arcade1up. I agree it’s been one heck of a roller coaster Mars.
Gamestop sucks
Great for toys :)
