I'm sold just on Night Slashers. I've only had the opportunity to play it in a laundromat once. I could never find it and forgot the name for years before I stumbled on it again. I always thought it was an MVS game, and was surprised to learn it was a Data East game. Thanks for giving it a little highlight!
Glad you were able to finally score an ALU 1.1 in the North. I've had mine for a few months now, and love it. My arcade roms are smooth as silk through CoinOpsX, and I actually appreciate how different the form factor is as compared to my various A1ups. To me, a variety of different sized cabs has a more authentic arcade feel. So geeked to finally have a respectable home arcade, game on!
Fantastic review Michael! I have to say that I think it was a good call that Atgames went back to the print on artwork instead of the one you put on. I could tell right away that it looked better. Amazing job
Great review Michael. I have 1.0 and it’s just wonderful with all the options and with the option to run the pinballx on arcadenet make it easy for people who don’t have a pc to run more games.... I’m in love with this .. now you don’t need all those other cabs and make room for pinball!!
I'm ordering one Tuesday. I'm super excited, THANK YOU for the awesome review. I also plan to buy some USB add-ons. The possibilities are almost endless.
I had my doubts before buying this cabinet but took the chance and its honestly my favorite arcade!!! I have a ton of arcade 1up cabinets the neo geo cabinet and in the future ill be getting the iiarcade cabinet. But I can tell you the build quality control deck and the fact that you can add your own games via USB makes this cabinet leaps and bounds better than arcade 1up cabinets (in my opinion)
Nice to see that you can get them in Canada finally. I saw the brick carries them just after I bought 8 desktop computers for my Great nieces and nephews with remote learning being very common. So I now have to wait for the new year unfortunately tapped myself out. Love your reviews as well as Glen's, PDubs and Restalgia plus more but you guys are my top 4 so far :)
This review was useful to find out the changes from the reviews about 2 months prior. Thanks for the info. I finally ordered because they are in stock and on sale at Walmart right now.
@@jessebean9829 yes, it came in 2 or 3 days. I'm very happy with it. The only disappointment was the side art is printed on again. I would have preferred plain black.
Dude! this is so cool! I'm excited to buy me anAtgames Legends Ultimate Arcade 1.1. I originally considered buiding an Arcade 1up room, but now that I heard of these Legends Ultimate Arcades, screw those Arcade 1ups lol!
My only issue is that the 360 spinner control (the one used for games like Ikari Warriors) only turns and doesn’t move like a control stick. This makes you have to use the spinner and control, which is a pain. Other wise, I love it and it is way better than I expected.
Michael B - you are awesome! Thank you for helping Atgames decide to get these into Canada finally. Also, great to know the Brick is going to carry them as well. Robotron was one of the greatest Arcade games released back in the day, and for me, that one game makes it worthwhile to own. As you stated, there are great little hidden gem games. IMO, AtGames really stepped up to the plate and keeps getting better with every segment of the ALU Universe. Thank you again for your review and I look forward to FINALLY owning one of these in 2021! Cheers! Also, please teach PDUBS how to say TATE-TOE, instead of TIGHT-TOE...Bloody Americans with their Funny Accents, Eh??? LOL :)
Haha the Taito debate goes on. Thank you so much man. To be transparent Robotron was added to the cab after the fact and does not come included but it works and it’s spectacular
Is it weird that I kinda still want to buy one of these even though I already built my own? Arcade 1up had better step up their game and start sending you review cabinets. You have already sold me on at least two AtGames products with your reviews, but only one Arcade1up product so far.
Not at all, I didn't even cover the leaderboard functionality which lets you post your scores and compete against other AtGames cabinet owners. You can actually buy a device called a Legends Connect and convert your own arcade into a Legends Device btw Thanks Ed, I appreciate that! I still owe you that Star Wars review, its coming, I just got a new yoke that I am going to install and do both the review and mod video in the very near future.
This is a great review I wish I would have seen it 2 years ago I got the Mini if I would have saw this review I would have probably got the larger ultimate and probably skipped a few arcade1ups😊 honestly i feel like i get a more real arcade experience from the atgames besides way more options! And the game selection on the mini I really like actually lots of games I haven't played before they have a good arcade feel to them and also Classics that I have played🎉
I honestly feel bad for all the guys out there making Arcade 1 up arcades... no way those things are going to stand the test of time. Unless they mod them, and at that point... just why bother? Best to get one or two nice, solid cabs. I just ordered from recroommasters, having them skin the entire thing in Streets of Rage 4. Already thinking about another cab lol, but yeah, this right here is leagues above anything arcade 1 up has ever produced and likely will ever produce.
I have about 7 arcade 1up machines and to be honest the only one I play is the Star Wars cab because of the yoke, I mostly play legends ultimate, it has every game my arcade 1up cabs have even Star Wars but no yoke, I absolutely love the legends ultimate, I have version 1.0 with the 350 games and they also added something like 47 more for free.
The atgames legends ultimate really caters to retro gaming enthusiasts. You can tell the people behind it are really passionate about the product. Being able to plug in a pc or rpi4 and use the monitor and controllers is awesome.
@@MichaelBtheGameGenie I'm in wave 3 of pre-orders because I do not currently own an AtGames cab so I would be in the 'new folk' category...I might not get mine too far ahead of you 👍🙏
Night Stalkers is an AMAZING game! I just received mine in the US, from Sam's club it comes with the additional pinball controls for 500 USD it's a great deal. I cant wait to put it together this weekend! I also pre-ordered the light gun hope it works well for those arcade light gun games.
How’s the Legends Ultimate holding up Michael. I’m loaded with A1-up games and was considering buying Tron or Dragons Lair for my last open spot . This game system might just be the perfect one for my final cabinet . You still recommend it . Thank Michael for all the great content
I placed an order for one, got the total for $543 and change, then a screen refresh took the total higher to $603+ for an add on $50 handling fee. To be waved if you fork $45 to join the Sam’s Club. I didn’t like that, may buy mine at Walmart.
This looks like the home arcade cab I've been waiting for. All the control options, loads of games included, user friendly, and with the option to add more games. Perfect! The only problem is at £800 (UK), there's no way my wife will ok a purchase like that. I'll have to keep chugging along with arcade emulation on my laptop. Really great video, by the way. 👍
You need to work on your wife. I get that the cab might be out of some peoples price range but they also sell another product called the Legends Gamer that might work for you too
This cabinet is the arcade1up killer. Say goodbye to buying multiple cabinets to play the game you want, put them all on there and boom, you can play all the games you want on a single cabinet.
Great review.. I just got mines this week and now I'm wanting to add games to it but don't know where to start. Do you have any uploads on tutorial on getting roms on here? Not sure where to start since this is my 1st arcade. Thanks
Look up coinopsx v5 and a tutorial for it on youtube and boom. But if you dont have a hard drive big enough or you dont want all those games you can just pick the uce's of the games you want and slap them on a flash drive, then plug it in and go to addons under byog
I'm considering getting rid of my at games cabinet. The stock games that come on it are good but I wanted to expand beyond that and as easy as coin-ops is to get up and running 99% of the games don't save high scores which is the main replayability factor for me. It's been years since I've been computer-savvy so loading my own ROMs is beyond my skills.
@@MichaelBtheGameGenie Oh of course makes sense, anyway I might be alone here but I love the SNES Star Wars games, all of them even the crazy hard ESB :-) Would look nice on a big arcade like the Legends!
I’ve had this same Walmart version as you for a couple of weeks now. Other than some annoying dust particles trapped between the screen and the bezel , everything is working great. But mine has a weird electrical type of smell that comes from it. I’m not concerned about it starting a fire or anything , but it’s kind of strange. Wanted to ask if yours has this issue , or if you’ve heard of anyone else mention this ? Thanks
Hey mike, finally had some time to get my cab going over the break. I'm having a issue trying to get coin ops going on my machine. When I try to format a usb on the machine I keep getting a "format error/unable to format" message. Since we have the same version of the machine I was wondering if you had this problem. Any help is appreciated.
Buyer beware these machines are marked up beyond believe 899 plus taxes is a complete rip off at The Brick and the trash A1up there is 799 plus taxes and for warranty add another 100 better to order from the USA
This one is a pass for me. This company does not have a good track record and it will take more than one ALU to get me to support them. Glad you like it and love the opening music, sounds like Dangerous Toys.
@@MichaelBtheGameGenie It is not my friend...Also, it reminds me of what the AVGN said about it on his latest Taito video on Cinemassacre...I hate it 👍🙏
I just bought one today & will be shipped from Walmart.com in a week or so. Does anyone know if the the streaming games has better graphics or 1080p? Thx !
Excellent video. This is the best review of this cabinet I’ve even seen. It helped me pull the trigger on it.

Love my legends ultimate arcade. The assembly process is a true marvel. ikea could take a lesson from them.
I’m getting mine next week. Can’t wait until the LCD marquee and light gun are released. Or the pinball cabinet... so much fun.
Light guns are not coming
and thr lcd marquee is like 400
This thing looks..plays.. sounds beautiful..ability to add Coinops which runs beautiful..for the price it is?..pure awesome!
My only issue is that the 360 spinner control (the one used for games like Ikari Warriors) only turns and doesn’t move like a control stick. This makes you have to use the spinner and control, which is a pain. Other wise, I love it and it is way better than I expected.
Gosh, I didn’t want to be interested by this cabinet. Great review video MichealB!
I want to say thank you and I guess I also want to say I’m sorry?
Darn, I just bought one now. It was nice having your advice and knowing you. My wife is about to kill me soon.
gratz on the cab love mine i see you like zookeeper one of my fav games on the cab you will see me on the leader boards for it
Great review, Michael B. ! I know you'll be very happy with the Legends Ultimate.
Ive been on the fence about buying one for a long time. I so however have the iircade coming
I still might pull the trigger some day. Im still excited to see what we might get in 2021
