Five new Arcade1Up cabinets coming in February (Mortal Kombat, Final Fight, Golden Tee)

Well seeing as I only paid $199 for the cabinet and about $120 extra in parts to mod it, I would say yes. Even at $300 with an extra $120 I would say its worth it. I have the arcade cabinet I've always wanted in my home now.
I put a Pi in it. Leaving it default is tough since the sticks are sort of using a proprietary connector pin, so replacing those are hard. The buttons are easily swap-able though since they use the same standard connector pins. If you're going to fully replace all of the sticks and buttons, its easier just to throw a Pi in there and put whatever games you want on it.
Even though I know better (I have a Darkstalkers arcade that I barely ever touched), that MK one is going to be hard to resist. I dreamed of owning an MKII machine back in the day.
How is the sounds quality on these things? Because the sound was a big component of what made the MKII machine so awesome.

Both pictures show Ghosts n Goblins next to them.

Definitely getting that MK cabinet! I have the street fighter one and love it they are sending me the plastic deck cover and I spent $40 bucks and changed out the buttons for real Suzo Happ buttons. My stick have clear bottoms and feel good they "look" like sanwa sticks.
So that MK one definitely shows MK, MK2 and UMK. That would be the one I'd get, but I also know that MK isn't terribly deep and I'd probably get more use out of the Golden Tee one.
Those counter-top ones look pretty nice, but man those screens are tiny!

Because of the trackball? I'd love to see one that includes a spinner and Arkanoid, but I don't know what other games used it :/
Were your sticks black bottoms? Mine have clear bottoms and the same plug as the Senwa sticks like these. https://www.amazon.com/Sanwa-Denshi...eywords=sanwa+stick&psc=1&smid=A2LBJLASZ6BMMF
Haha Friends and I would seek out bars with Golden Tee in them when we were in our 30's. Was just a fun game to go back and forth with and enjoy some beers.
So can someone explain these cabinets to me? I've seen cabinets around for a long time but very expensive. Are these cheaper, are they modded?
Pause at 4:11 and you'll see the box:
-Street Fighter 1
-Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition
-Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting
-Street Fighter Alpha Warriors Dreams
-Street Fighter Alpha 2
(And I think I could see the logo for Street Fighter 3 New Generation under that...I think...)
And the cocktail itself has the logos for both Super Street Fighters.
Now, why the FUCK isnt this the selection they should have had with the stand-up one? They could have called it "Street Fighter 30th Anniversary" like the console games
I got my son the Pac Man cab for Xmas and it's such a cool piece in the game room. The art alone makes it worthwhile. Pro tip: if you call and tell them to send you the cover to avoid the decals from peeling off, they send you a cover that screws in over the top.
Damnit I really want the MK cabinet and Street Fighter but I have a feeling my wife would divorce me out of shame so...
I dunno, doesn't CvS being on that marquee with the list of fighters put the idea of an real, working product with those games on it into question?
Dreamcast emulation, especially at the price margins Arcade1Up wants to sell these at, isn't at the level where it's commercially viable on a mass market device, right? I know you can fiddle and fart-arse around with emulators on Windows to get it at a level close to a real console, but surely not with the hardware that's in these cabs, or any kind of RasPi-level device they'd want to use.
It sounds like a wishlist.

Anyone ever bought one of those DIY tabletop kits? Thinking of just doing that and putting MAME on it since you can get one for sub $400.
Golden Tee has me interested. It's the greatest bar game of all time. What's the size and scale of these things? I've never heard of them. THeir website isn't resolving either.
I've seen the SF2 screen close up and the scaling solution they use sucks. As much as I'm a sucker for CRT emulation, even just a 2X or 3X stretch rather than a nearest neighbour would look way better. If they just fixed that I'd be 10x more excited by this product. That being said, I'm thinking of getting the cab and modding it to use a raspberry Pi and then setting up the display scaling to my liking.
Interesting that Golden Tee has a lit marquee and Happ trackball although it's supposed to be more expensive.
I think plenty of people would be prepared to pay a little more for these machines when they use better quality parts and add features that people are asking for.

I totally think they should do "pro" versions which are 4/5 scale instead of 3/4, slightly better parts, and they should add display filtering options. The magic of these things is they are lightweight, and they don't have a CRT which will kill you.
It's unfortunate how far out it is. I'm considering building one myself that would allow me to use multiple trackball games.
Reading and watching Hi Score Girl makes me want to get my Final Fight on. ;)
Just might get that one.

The list with CVS is a mock up ad. None of them are official yet. Though I suspect most of those will become reality soon. John D. from Capcom is now Arcade 1Up's VP of licensing.
If they sold it at Home Depot, they could move an obscene number of units.
Mine were indeed black bottoms. The sheer amount of glue sprayed all over the contacts of those buttons were insane too.
If they can get golden tee, they can move mountains for NBA Jam. Although, I wonder what version would be used due to licensing and the fact that the 90's had lots of famousTM players.
I think the current size is the max they can get away with - they are paying license fees for toy arcade games, like the $20 desktop thing you can buy at Target, and then scaling it up as large as possible without paying the(very expensive) full size arcade machine license. Which is why they sell risers separately.
Bat tops confirmed. The rep also claims MK will be out within a few months!
