Arcade1Up X-Men Review - Welcome to Buy!! I recently picked up the new X-Men Arcade1Up Cabinet from The Brick here in Canada
www.thebrick.com/products/arc...
This 4 player cabinet features the classic Konami arcade beat em up based on Marvel's X-Men. This is one i have been looking forward to since Arcade1Up first came out and hoping it lives up to my lofty expectations and will it be worth the hefty price tag.

Welcome to my channel. I have been playing and collecting games since 1987 and I use this channel to share my passion and memories of gaming. I review games that I believe are under appreciated or wrongfully dismissed on Game Genie Reviews. Video Game Nostalgia is a fun series where I take a look at a topic from my gaming past and share games that come to mind from it. I also do Top 10 lists, of course I do...what else is on youtube right? Well I like to think I put my own spin on them because they are based on my life in gaming. Hope you enjoy the channel and always looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Everyone, thanks for checking out my review. Let me know what you think of the Arcade1Up X-Men Cabinet
Found another Best Buy deal of the day for 499.99. I was sold since it was my childhood blowing through quarters at Chuck E. Cheese.
no Thanks' i Have ALL the Arcade Games Right on my PC' so 😁
The girl's statement at the end is absolutely adorable.
Love that title! Quick correction, though: The game is based on the abandoned Pryde of the X-Men series (hence Kitty Pryde in the cutscenes) rather than the famous Fox show. If there was a lawsuit over the game tie-in, it would be because the tie-in show only produced one episode.
EDIT: The episode is available on TH-cam. You'll see that the X-Men team is the same as the roster in the game.
I don’t have to reply you nailed it
Still wish this team was used. Maybe replace dazzler with gambit but they are kinda similar enough to just leave her. Maybe she would be more popular today but whatever. Love the pilot episode ever since I saw it back on VHS back in the day. Still watch it on TH-cam every month it seems lol.
@@madbart214yomother7 With the 90s reboot coming I hope they make a new age X-Men beat em up featuring the 90s team. One can dream right!
@@mattgilson697 wolverine,cyclops,gambit,rogue,storm and beast but 4 player so you would end up leaving 2 out. Heck as long as you don't put useless Jean Grey in there, you'd have my money lol. Can't stand that "uunnghhhh" and collapse bullshit she pulls every episode she's in.
This is a must have for all 1up collectors. It’s my third cabinet and I love it. Thanks for the video.
I love the intro you made with that theme song. So good
I just purchased my first full machine and I am really enjoying it with my family. Thank you for sharing this video.
One of my favorites. Man that tugs on the memories. Wish I could get this one. Great review man
Your reviews are second to none, amazing work! my wife and I have recently started building our basement entertainment area with the purchase of the Attack from Mars pinball unit from arcade1up. With the exception of resolution which I can get over it is a beautiful looking machine. We would like two more machines. Your arcade is totally kick butt! I will watch all your reviews, thanks from a fellow Canadian.
Great review MichaelB. Hopefully well get a Konami collection 12-in-1 in the future! That I'd bight on for sure! And congrats on the new addition to the family!
Great video Michael b! Great cab, nobody ever talks about the headphone sound.
One of the best cartoon intro's ever
Great review! Only comment I would make is to talk about the game lineup first as that is the most important thing for us who are looking into a potential buy followed by the build quality and everything else. Thank you! Keep up the great work
Great review Michael B! Love this cabinet. Hopefully that WiFi issue gets resolved brother!
Better than the Simpson cabinet
I’m new to the Arcade1UP machines recently got one. Now I’m already on the look for my next one 😂. I’ve been looking at the X- men one but the 4 players deck is the only thing throwing me off. The art on the X men Cabinet. The coin slot just makes it really work. Great review
I love this! I’ll be getting one for myself and my sons for Christmas.
Thanks for the Review! It's this one
n and the simpsons that I want but the xmen I have to get first lol . It's that music that I remember from the arcades!
Clicked on this review just because of the subtitle. Magneto's Engrish in this game was epic. XD
I never use subtitles but this one was too good to pass up
I restored a Captian America arcade cabinet this summer. Character selection was based on cpo placement as well. It must be how Konami did it with some of their 4 player arcades. I believe 4 player TMNT was the same way. Fun video, Mike! Congrats again on your baby gamer!
Then again, Captain America was Data East, but I do believe that was their way to compete with TMNT back in the day.
Not sure why everyone rushed to pay $750 for this, I’d rather wait it out until the process drops to around $400.
Best Buy is price matching RC's at $379 right now.
$499 on sale on Amazon rn.
OH MAN - This is my number 1 want from Arcade 1up. Well, this and DEATH ADDER
Great review as always!! This cab looks great. Big blue review coming soon?
Another great video!!! Keep it up and thanks for everything you do for the community
Thank you so much!
The xmen game we never recieved on a Home port!! Classic of the Arcade
There was one on Xbox 360, still think about it to this day even though my 360 is long gone. Fantastic port of the 6-player version, never came over to the Xbox One.
Love that X-men music!!!
Right? Such an awesome tune
@@MichaelBtheGameGenie I’d love to have this cab. Sadly no space
Looks awesome!
Great review, enjoyed watching! Hope the WiFi issue turns out to be minor. Wonder if it has a problem with the 2.4Ghz vs. 5 Ghz band on many routers? Sometime ago with the Oculus Quest I, a buggy update was released that had an issue staying connected to an SSID/router that was both 2.4/5Ghz using the same name for both bands. I wound up separating the SSID's as someSSID24 and someSSID (where this one was 5Ghz). That fixed the issue for me, but it will be a PITA to do so as you may have many devices that you'll need to reconnect. Something to try though.
If only I had the money, I'd buy it off you. But, I'm in the U.S. Import fees, you know. I wanted this cabinet, but had to hit cancel, on the pre-order, when I saw how much it was, and that it was another forced bundle. Would've been so easy for A1up to just put a true 16x9 monitor, or ultrawide, in there to capture the true aspect ratio of the coin operated variant. I'd highly recommend upgrading the speakers, with a set of 20, to 25 watt, 8" speakers, and amp, taking the audio directly from the PCB, to get around those dynamics issues, in X-men. Congrats on getting that one. Very cool. Thanks for the review.
Good job Mike
The X-men cabinet is one I’ve been wanting to add to my home arcade since this thing started now that I have the Simpson’s this one and killer instinct will probably be my last due to space but who knows
So I felt like the response to the controls was really sluggish on this cab but figured it may have just been me not remembering how it played very well. Tonight I pulled up X-Men on the Legends via Pi4 OTG and it was night and day in its responsiveness compared to the A1Up cab. Have you experienced this?
Buttery smooth review Mike. Nice looking cab. One request, instead of saying "could cause issues if you are extremely tall" give a specific height.
Frustrating that you have to put a ticket in, seems like this happens every other cab fornyou
I would say if you are taller than 6'3 it might create an issue from the sides. Thanks so much!
Maybe one day we will get a tekken/soul caliber cab. Thats the dream
the best cartoon series music ever
Great review as always. The fourth button looks like it gets in the way when playing X-men. The fact it was added to accommodate a subpar fighting game adds insult to injury.
The controls are a slight hinderance. But not as bad as “The Simpsons” layout. And definitely not unplayable or unenjoyable. The biggest glaring issues this cabinet has are the light up marquee & the lack of Spider-Man:The Arcade Game. The speaker gate issue is real & Online play is buggy to say the least. Doesn’t hold a candle to the online experience offered by the cheaper much better produced MVC cabinet. Arcade1up dropped the ball here a bit & it’s going to cost me even more to fix the things they slacked on [marquee & buttons]. I can’t believe this cabinet was double the price of my NBA JAM cab🤦🏻♂️. If they patched this with Spidey, I would forgive them for their shortcomings with this cab. But they’ll likely find excuses why they couldn’t do that post launch. Personally I say you do whatever it takes to make it right & just offer a different sku later with a Spidey skin & call it even. I could care less if the game wasn’t listed on the kick plate, just give me one more game to help with the disappointing purchase.
Curious if the sound in X-Men has been patched...@@halfadozen6
My X-Men cabinet had the same issue with connecting to the multiplayer server. They sent me a new PCB. I will let you know how that works out as I have yet to install it.
this is my fav beatemup out of the bigs (tmnt, simps, doubledrgn, finalfight,goldenaxe), unfortune, i have run out of room in my arcade unless i again get rid of or move more stuff around. out of all the arcade1up out there, this and stand up star wars are the only ones left that i want. If they ever do Q*bert or Operation Wolf, I would buy those right away, no hesitation.
Weird, my Wifi worked fine on mine. Played a game with a random named Enos. lol.
Great review dude! Questions; has the sound improved? And are you able to connect over wifi now?
So far I'm really pleased with the cabinet. The most annoying issue is that 3P's buttons (ie. Cap's slot) are in a different formation than everyone else which IMO is much less ergonomic. From what I can tell there's no reason for the change other than to be annoying. 😑
I'm only getting this cab for Xmen cause like you it's a game I have fond memories of playing when I was a kid I honestly don't care for internet capabilities or the other games
I want this cab so bad but I have all the games on my atgames legends ultimate I can't justify the cost for the looks alone
Michael, since your room is almost finished you gotta make a video on the top arcade1ups you own as a Canadian, I have yet to find a Canadian list yet!
- Canadian Arcade1upee
I can absolutely do that
loved the x men game in the arcade , great video my dude! did you hear about they are rebooting xmen the cartoon with the original theme song? hopefully it will be as awesome as it was in the 90s , meaning style and action
My Daughter is the biggest fan of the cartoon so this couldn't have come at a better time
@@MichaelBtheGameGenie very cool!
It looks nice, but I’m leaning towards the Tempest cabinet. I’ve already got an Atari 12 in 1 and upgraded the trackball and spinner to the GRS versions and the thing is awesome… except for the monitor! It looks washed out or set too high on brightness which really detracts from the experience!
Atari legacy tempest cant spin to fast also the Asteroids on it has messed up sound. May want to pass.
ill wait for the pro widescreen 6 player version with better speakers and marquee
I HAD CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE AVENGERS ON MY SEGA GENISES NOMAD PLAYER CARTRIDGE!!!
I plan to get this one..did u do a review on Turtles in time
take a shot every time he says Marqee
Whoa let’s not try and kill people here lol
Hey I just updated mine and they removed the colossus Night crawler intro when u boot it up. What gives?!
I wish I bought the digital version that came out on ps3 AND xbox360, had I known they were going to take these games off the digital store.
I'm totally in the fence on buying either this one, ninja turtles or The Simpsons. Love your videos tho bro. What would you recommend for a first timer.
Bad speakers (SF2 Big Blue, XMEN, Simpsons) bad control layout (Simpsons), washed out marquee print (XMEN, Simpsons), bad emulation programming (Tron). JohnD, what was the price hike for again??
Dont forget wrong color on Galaxian 1st wave Galaga and messed up sounds" pew pew"On Astroids Atari legacy cab😣
Which of the beat em up cabs would you pick for someone who has limited funds and space?
I never see you using mutant powers on the X-Men when you play it but yeah if you want to sound to get better too I think you could put better speakers to or bigger ones I like it do you think this one is better than the Simpsons cabinet oh but Captain America in Avengers that sounds loud for some reason 🕹🎮😀👍🏽
Did you fix the sound problem? How did you do it?
Agreed on the sound and marquee wash-out. All of their marquees looked washed out to me honestly…definitely something they need to address with better ink/vinyl or something
It's a real shame because its such a stupid thing to cheap out on
@@MichaelBtheGameGenie I just pretend the machines are going for the “vintage” look so more along the lines of what a cab from back then would look today with some miles on it. So far it has saved me a ton of money in marquee replacements lol.
Hey Michael how has this one held up?
Welcome to Buy - Now that's a true fan! I was obsessed with this game as a teen. I'm contemplating buying it, but never bought a full machine like this. I wonder what happens if it breaks? Who would fix it?🤔
Accessories & parts are incredibly easy to come by. Two years ago I came across a arcade one up ninja turtles machine that somebody had placed outside by their curb and was going to throw away because the screen had been smashed from someone punching it. I was able to get a replacement screen on eBay for less than $100 and they’re incredibly easy to put together and take apart. All in all I think it’s about three or four pieces of electronica equipment needed to install.
This looks like a reskin of the TMNT game.
Any update on what happened with your online play issue? Is it an issue with this cabinet?
Working fine now. I was on a mesh system disconnected I’m the whole router and pods and reconnected them and now Xmen runs like a dream
I want to grab this while it's on sale $250 off, but I literally just bought my mvc2 cab, gf will literally murder me lol
Going to Wait for the 6 player version
There is a solution for that now. An $800 6 player deck by 99 lives/Greg Zaker that fits the 1up cab and has many games loaded on it including other Konami games. I have it but haven’t used it yet, it still has clear plastic on it. I also have most of the X-Men Arcade1up cabinet parts from ebay except the riser. I have an MK riser with red molding that I can use with X-Men riser graphics I have. The only thing with the A1up X-Men pcb is that it’s not softmoddable like the Simpsons and TMNT in Time. You are stuck with the three games unless you use a 99 lives deck or something. I sort of retired my Turtles in Time and might build X-Men and put it near where it was.
What did you prefer? Simpson’s or Xmen ? Thanks bud.
Is it actually physically possible for 4 adults to play simultaneously on this machine? It doesn't look like there'd be enough room.
MAYBE YOU NEED A WIFI EXTENDER ADD ON?
Great looking cab, but LACKING VALUE for the cost... I mean, the audio isn't good, WiFi doesn't work right, only 3 games are included, they still haven't upgraded the crap controls... just getting really hard to justify these issues when they charge what they do. At $299 or even $399, you could justify some corners cut. Not anymore.
Have you gotten your WiFi issue fixed since this video was posted?
It seems like these new wave of cabs have bad sound with lack of bass.
Did they ever fix the sound issue?
With newer cabs yes but with XMen it was never really fixed
What’s wrong with the sound? I have most of the X-Men parts except the riser, but I have a different riser with red trim and X-Men riser graphics. Would different speakers help? Is it the PCB or speakers that are the problem? If it’s the speakers then you can easily use different ones that have a standard rca speaker plug. I want to finally build an X-Men. I have a Simpsons built and a TMNT in Time disassembled.
can anyone help me find a place where i can by inthe uk or ships to the uk
If you die, can you just add more credits to continue?
Yes
JUST CURIOUS? HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
I wish you showed more about the characters that were included in each game. Other than that great review
Needs more crt.
What doesn't?
I mean... light up decks are cool. Yo me they take away from the look
background music is way too loud and not needed. Otherwise great video
Not seeing the value of laptop size displays and arcade experience in the same context. They could easily purchase 19" displays in bulk for same price. Lame.
Non of these are worth the money anymore. Now they're in ps5 and Xbox scalp prices.
The graphics are too pixelated / aliased on this one. It's a major distraction for me on otherwise great cab.
Why did it have to be cyclops. Nobody wants to sit on cyclops. Trust me, I know.
If it ain't six player, it ain't nothin'.
Recroom Master shut down due to a lack of shipping materials getting into the US... yet Arcade1up persists without issue... let that sink in yall... an American made, QUALITY cabinet maker for YEARS shut their doors because they couldn't get SHIPPING SUPPLIES! Yet these cheap, overpriced turds are everywhere. . .
Arcade 1up is junk
