Arcade 1Up announces arcade cabinets for Marvel Super Heroes/X-Men: Children of the Atom/The Punisher & TMNT (1989)/Turtles in Time
- Thread starter Neoxon
- Start date
Honestly they should've chosen TIT over TMNT's marquees art, the green line is cool but April makes it really hard to have it anywhere in the house that is not my games room.
Marvel is simply bonkers, the art is sublime.
Top notch new pop-art

The risers they sell for these are great way to give them some height, but still should be played while sitting on a stool or something as they are still too short to play comfortably.
Man, I don't want to hack that tmnt machine after I already hacked my sf2 machine.
Nope I don't want to.
Nope.
Dammit.

It'd probably be CotA to MvC2 (plus maybe Punisher) with XvSF, MvC1, & MvC2 having online multiplayer. No use in including UMvC3 when you can buy that separately.
This just reminds me about my dream game:
A new version of Turtles in Time with the 4-player feature of the arcade game, the improvements of the SNES version and the additional stages from Hyperstone Heist on Genesis. With online play.

Man... I haven't bought any of these yet, but I really want to. At this point, I want the SFII cab, the MK cab, the Final Fight/Strider cab, and now the TMNT cab and the Capcom/Marvel cab... this is insane haha.

Dude what!?
The only problem I see is, is there really going to be room for 4 people to stand side by side playing TMNT?

Just took a look at their site... no mention of these new cabs on there yet, but I noticed they are now selling all kinds of replacement parts... new buttons, new control decks, new screens... makes me question the quality of these things even more than I already do...
Marvel Super Heroes and Children of the Atom?! I'm absolutely getting this cabinet!
Marvel Games has to be in communication with Capcom USA then. Maybe MvC4 could happen after all.

Because the Arcade version of Turtles In Time is included alongside the original TMNT 1989 Arcade game.
Those are the only two classic TMNT games released for Arcades (the newest one is the one released by Nickelodeon).
I wish there was a chance to get real lightgun games down the line, I'd kill for a Point Blank collection and Operation Wolf/Thunderbolt.
As much as I love The Simpsons' first ten years (as much as I dislike the show nowadays I guess) and Konami's brawlers, the game does not hold up at all.
Even as a novelty, nostalgia wore off after 30 minutes give or take.
We should not forget Konami made the best scrolling brawler of all time, Crime Fighters 2 aka VENDETTA. Gimme that with Sunset Riders (and ALIENS lol) and I'm set.

That's my question. This looks incredible, but I'd like to know from someone who owns one if the quality is good on these.
Also a bit concerned that they're so short. And the riser is a $40 add-on.
OH MAN, I need both of these. I used to always play these at Chuck E Cheese.
But aren't these arcade's super tiny?

They aren't bad but I don't have an actual arcade board to toss in mine to have really tested it. I recently scrapped the original lcd and put in a Dell 20inch 2007fp. Was very simple to do for what I consider to be a huge upgrade.
All things considered, for casual play there's it'll be good! I'm personally working towards making a VS cab setup with 2 stuck end to end.
I own the Street Fighter 2 cabinet and man, can I not recommend these at all. I got mine as a Christmas gift and put it together around new years day. I am unable to screw the ball onto one of the sticks because there is a defect with the rod. There are several dead pixels on the monitor as well as a dead bug or something stuck under the screen... This stuff happens, I understand.
I reach out to Arcade1up customer support and just get nothing for a while. I understand its the holidays. Several weeks later, they respond asking for a video of the screen. I send it. They say there isn't enough dead pixels to replace the screen. My wife talks to them and they finally agree to replace both parts. This is two months later. Now, I'm supposed to wait 6 weeks for the new pieces.
Two and half months later, just the screen arrives. No new stick or return label like they said they would send. We email them again and after another week or so they send out a new joystick. It arrives fairly quickly and I take apart the cabinet and to install the new screen, easy enough. I take the plastic cover off the board and realize that everything in there is messily hotglued together and I would have to strip the glue from the stick and all the wires to replace it.... I end up just forcing the ball on. W/e
Since I still I don't have a return label to get rid of the old monitor, I email them again to ask to get the return label. They inform that they are no longer taking returns on bad pieces and I get to keep this bad monitor.... Yay
Dealing with Arcade1up is worse than dealing with the DMV or your ISP... If this wasn't a gift that the person had bought months before Christmas, I would've return it right away.
Its kind of fun to have this little cabinet, but these issues aside, its almost too small for two adults to play even with the stand and the sound is so terrible with only one small speaker on the right side of the board.

Having used a bunch of the machines in various settings- the height is perfectly fine for sitting down in a normal chair to play. The riser gets it approximately to where a normal cabinet would be- and if you don't want to spend $40 on it, you can use other objects to do it. The riser costs money because it's designed to look natural with the machine, keep it from moving around, and has to support the weight of the machine (which is something like 50 lbs)

I wouldn't go that far, but I could see a Marvel vs. Capcom Legacy Collection happening.
You're thinking of the Konami X-Men game. Children of the Atom is a two-player fighting game by Capcom.
CotA is a 2d 1v1 fighting game. You're confusing that with the 6p x-men konami beat'em up.
Those were the top request ones behind the TMNT in Arcade 1Up's formal poll.
Both are gonna happen. Mahvel always prevails, we've done this before.

Capcom EU's senior posted a picture the other day of herself with Marvel Games' creative manager.
I think it's safe to say something is going on behind the scenes.
From what I've read, the Arcade1Up cabinets sold way more than TasteMasters was expecting.
The cabinets use stored roms running on emulation. The Atari/Midway cabinets used an older version of MAME, the SF2 cabinet used MOO. I'm not sure what the new cabinets use. The PCBs use a low-end ARM CPU, the hardware is pretty close to those Pandora Box 1000-in-1 multi-arcade boards you can buy online.
I don't know about the response time, but the LCD panel on the Asteroids cabinet I own looks like a cheap TN LCD panel.
The first set of Arcade1Up cabinets had a number of quality issues. I've heard people report that the latest set of cabinets (Golden Tee, Final Fight, Mortal Kombat) are noticably better in terms of LCD screen quality, control button quality, and panel artwork.

COTA was a fighter. You're thinking of the X-Men arcade game by Konami.
For awhile there, the MK cabs were pretty tough to find. Been flirting with picking one of them up too, but I'm going to run out of space quick.
wtf . . . I didn't know Turtles in Time was an arcade game, I thought it was straight-up made for SNES
