lllllllllllllllllll posted:Gamesack did one too. It is good, apparently. loopsheloop posted:It looked pretty neat until I found what they're asking for it. Preorders are $370 for the console + trackpad/paddle controller. Random Stranger posted:Don't use 100 yen = 1 USD. It's about 120 yen = 1 USD. Of course, that means that getting the system and paddle controller is just over $300 so that sticker shock is still there. It's a maturing market so not only are they making them out of higher quality parts (remember the Neo Geo Mini having a tiny joystick-shaped console analog nub instead of an arcade stick and membrane buttons?) and packing into them more features, plus everything electronic is in a shortage and stuff costs more to make and ship now, so no surprise. Also without the rotating screen, Sega will sell you 2 entirely different Astro City Minis for the horizontal and vertical games, rather than Taito selling you more games via extra controllers that come with SD cards, so you have to factor that into the equation as well.

Well there's more expensive 1up arcades coming soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2gjICaSMsI Time Crisis; NFL Blitz, AND Marvel Vs Capcom 2 in 2022?  I guess their experiment changing T2 The Arcade game from a weird mounted-joystick fake lightgun game into a real sinden lightgun game was a success and they're working on Time Crisis next? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROqAMLxSnQw Assepoester fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Mar 17, 2022 |

lmao at Arcade 1up getting into the barely playable foot tall mini cab business https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VketsyLBl4 Expect MK to be the Genesis port or that weird Jakk's Pacific plug-n-play port? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUbFlIxzcgE But I guess with rising costs and the prices on their 3/4th size cabinets going well into iiRcade territory (and well above the iiRcade bartop) they have to retreat and expand into a market segment that isn't as impacted by material and chip shortages

I peaked in college I'll have you know! Definitely sounds like they're using the genesis roms, the genesis/md socs are cheap and plentiful edit: and that would explain why there's no MK1, cause MK1 on the genesis looked like dog poo poo If they can come in at under half the price of a replicade, I'd consider it. Gameplay has never been the focus of these things, let's be honest I do like the look of that cocktail countercade, but I have way too many loving pacman things already. If your friends and family know you like old arcade games, it's pacman for christmas for the rest of your life flavor.flv fucked around with this message at 20:25 on May 1, 2022 |

I'm glad there's an active and extensive modding community for Arcade 1Up machines that makes it easy to fix most of the deficiencies, if you don't mind tinkering. Next week I plan to put together the new Pac-man Legacy Edition I bought last year. Later this summer I'll put in a Jamma 60-in-1 conversion kit and throw a 1980's themed game party.

The only Arcade1up product I want is the Defender partycade. It’s a good size for the space I’m working with, I appreciate that it can be door or table mounted as well as wall mounted, and it’s got a close enough control setup for Defender that non-dedicated hardware can’t match. Also nobody in Australia stocks it, anywhere and when I’ve asked after it I’ve just been told “oh we haven’t been allocated any stock from the distributor and don’t know if we’ll ever get any” which sucks rear end.

Arcade1ups were pretty great on the $200-$300 price range. I was pretty pumped to get the Mortal Kombat one to relive my youth, and I modded the Street Fighter one into a pretty sweet MAME cabinet. Then they started moving away from what made them good, being cost effective sub par arcade machines. To me, $300 is the sweet spot for cost for them, anything more and you might as well look at building your own machine or buying one for not too much more.

Bought one of those atGames ALU Minis, because after seeing it mentioned upthread I took a long hard look at the little nook next to my fireplace and realized it was the perfect size for it. It's just over 19 inches wide, and I have several decent little barstools. That, and damned PayPal introduced that pay in 4 plan. It's going to be the death of me.

I mean, I could get it off eBay for the low low price of AUD$430 for the cabinet. And then another $430 for shipping.

My ALU Mini is really cool, I've made a CoinOpsX thumb drive and been playing with that a bit, plus it just looks amazing sitting in the little fireplace alcove. The sound bar along the top sounds really good, too. I have an LED strip lighting the alcove, and I'm thinking of getting a neon (or fake "neon") sign to go up on the wall behind it. The streaming feature works pretty well, even if there's a bit of an input delay that kind of throws me off. I played some Huntdown and it amazing on a real arcade cabinet, since it feels like a Contra-like game straight out of the 90s.

Arcade 1up seems to have been having a bad time lately, what with a bunch of bad cabinet designs with painful lips, bad monitor lotteries, and shipping their latest games before the online play is even ready... and now it's clear that they must be really utterly desperate... https://twitter.com/cooltoy_23/status/1588617722933706752

The supposed Time Crisis cab leaked and it looks like a toy to the point where people are saying it has to be a prototype. The pedal looks like you could break it in a second. They also seem to be going with the same small displays. Rumored price is $800 and I wonder if they’ll even bother with the gun slide.

If the guns are detachable, have the force feedback slides and work on whatever LCD screen they’ll sell units just for those

MyArcade announces a new Atari mini arcade as part of the Atari 50th Anniversary https://twitter.com/MyArcadeRetro/status/1611067582617948176    I was thinking it would be another famiclone running NES ports but from reports it's emulation of actual games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4bGJcy8Di0&t=200s flavor.flv posted:That image is sadder than baby shoes, never worn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZgrdwlPRV0 Kinda amusing that they have dual tiny screens so we know they're working on dual screen technology, but it's really funny and very sad that Arcade 1up went to CES just to show off their lovely slot machine simulators so that you too can recreate that famous twilight zone episode in your own home! We have found the one man who collects these mini arcade machines and doesn't hate the casinocades but even then he can't find any good Arcade1up news https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VAMrY0TCrU&t=28s Assepoester fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Jan 7, 2023 |

I really liked Arcade1up when they first launched. They were low quality, sure, but getting an arcade cabinet for $200-$300 was amazing for nostalgia. Then they slowly started raising the prices without improving the quality to justify the cost. I would definitely second that you're going to need to replace the buttons and joystick, especially if it was a demo model

Hi thread, was just sent here from the retro thread. New wave has some dragons lair minis at... $170us plus $60 shipping to Canadaland which = $300+ for it.  I know it's just too drat much for a stupid toy of a very dated game, but God drat I'd be lying if I said I wasn't even slightly tempted.
