Killer Instinct, X-men, Space Ace, Dragon's Lair, Atari, Capcom, & Bandai Namco Cabinets announced from Arcade 1Up

[OmegaDL50]

I think there's been a mistake here. I believe it's suppose to be the Arcade Release of Battletoads which I think was oringally handled by EA and was a 3 player game. Also if you look at the logo, there's no doubled dragon marking of any sorts.

Click to shrink...

It specifically says on the press release / release article that Battletoads / Double Dragon is included as a bonus game.

ASW have current rights to Tecmo's IPs such as Double Dragon and River City Ransom. Seeing as Arcade 1up probably already has a licensing agreement for the Killer Instinct and Battletoads Arcade game from Microsoft, they would only need licensing permissions from ArcSys for Double Dragon in this case.

 

[BFIB]

Wow. That's a ways off.

Are these cabinets difficult to order? I've never tried before.

Click to shrink...

Not really. There were likely be a couple different models some with light up Marquees some with light up controls.

 

[strife85]

jeez an x-men AND KI cabinet? has there been a Simpson's arcade game one? when's marvel 2 also?

 

[Ororo]

No mention of "coming to nintendo ultra 64" then no buy

 

[prophetvx]

It's criminal these things only run a 17 inch screen. If it had a 21 inch or larger I'd be all over this, X-Men and Big Buck Hunter.

Understandable, but the machine only has the battletoad's logo on cab. If it is a mistake hopefully they clarify soon. Although BattleToads/Double Dragon make more sense because that is a two player game and would work for the setup.

Very cool. I'll likely pick this one up but I'll be fine not getting it if my only option is to pay over MSRP.

Keep in mind the Battletoads Arcade cabinet allowed free select of which character you can play, So the 3rd player is just disabled in this case, much like how there is also a free select version of the TMNT arcade game which allows two players to select any four Turtles as opposed to the 4 player variant which auto-assigns each joystick position to a specific turtle.

I think it's fair bet this Arcade 1up version is going to have have both Battletoads Arcade and Battletoads/Double Dragon as a bonus game in this case.

 

[Tbm24]

My dream is to have an arcade version of KI 2013

Click to shrink...

Well going by this video



The Ryzen 2200g gets the job done just fine. The barrier of investment is generally low here so I'd recommend looking into it.
My cab I've remade a few times and it's just a lot of fun to have.

Killer Instinct 2013 has very low system requirements comparatively, so making a dedicated game with some cheap PC components is definitely doable.

I wish Microsoft would revisit it with either a sequel or just make a Season 4 with some Series X upgrade. Definitely is an incredibly enjoyable game to play.

 

[War Eagle]

How much do these go for?

 

[OmegaDL50]

How much do these go for?

Click to shrink...

Typically $300 to $500.

However there was some super discounted versions on Walmart clearance for like $70 to $125 in the past, so it depends, but typically the MSRP of these things is $299 to $499.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

That cabinet looks dope visually.

Too bad it has Killer Instinct on it.

What a weird thing to say in a thread about Killer Instinct.

What version? Arcade version is a pain in the ass to emulate outside of a pc.

Aren't the Xbox ports considered good?

Totally forgot you could freely select characters in Battletoad's arcade haha.

I scored my MK and SF2 for $75 each, Golden Tee I got for $150.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

If I had the space and money I'd buy so many of these

When I was a kid I always wanted to have my own arcade cabinets

Luckily home consoles became as good or better than arcade :p

Yes very good as far as i know. Even the online is pretty good. I got my ass handed to me by some player who knew how to use some ultra combo exploit

oh snap, i didn't know it was in the arcade version, too. Used to love doing those in the SNES version.

 

[Charismagik]

Yo, I really need them to upgrade the speakers for this particular cabinet. I need to it be as STUPID loud as it was in the arcade.

Click to shrink...

I remember the sound when you didn't kill someone off and they would get their bar back. Shit was like an air horn lol

 

[Chindogg]

Without the block accessory it's under 4FT tall. I'm 6'1 and when I saw it at gamestop I instantly got back pain, I don't know how someone like Max who is like 6'4 or something can do it ..

Click to shrink...

I'm 6'4 and have the SF2 and Space Invaders cabs. The riser is fine but without I need to sit on a stool.

 

[AMAGON]

Fuck, I may have to put this in my bathroom as I have no space in my studio

 

[olimpia84]

Fuck, must resist the urge to buy this. I honestly don't give a damn about all these 1Up cabinets but KI is a special one for me.

 

[AtomicShroom]

How is the sound on those units?

The actual arcade unit had absolutely killer (pun intended) speakers with quite the bass response. It sounded beefy AF and it was totally part of the experience. Anything less would be disappointing!

It is one kind of shitty speaker positioned on the top right of the top of the play space. I don't have a huge problem with it on my MK cabinet except for it is too loud but almost absolutely doesn't have the bass response you are looking for.

That was the 2nd gen units the newer ones have 2 stereo speakers above the screen and you definitely get some bass. Not enough to shake the floors in the arcade like back in the day but good enough for a game room/cave

 

[Chucker]

Yeah, my Pac-Man cab is either quiet or LOUD and nothing in between. Being as it's just Pac-Man I haven't messed with it.

 

[Dreamwriter]

Were these actually announced? I clicked on a couple of them and got a page asking me to let them know if I'd be interested in that cabinet happening.

Example: "Interested in a Space Ace® variant edition of Dragon's Lair®? Use the Notify Me button to let us know!"

[RecRoulette]

Darkstalkers holy fuck

Edit: 12 Capcom classics, 5 of them Street FIghter 2

 

[Giga Man]

There's waaaay too much Street Fighter in the Capcom cabinet. They could cut half of those Street Fighter games to make room for the rest of the Darkstalkers games, or Street Fighter III, or Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.

 

[Deleted member 76797]

That Capcom one is nuts. Wish we could get a tekken one.

 

[inner-G]

The art on the Capcom cab is so ugly though....

I think I had some pants with that orange/pink tribal looking pattern stuff in the 90s lol

 

[Deleted member 1190]

Their Marvel cab had 2 Snes games.

Er, which 2?

Every year they manage to make a cabinet I must have, and that is the one for 2021. Since it's a bar table there's a small chance I might even get it one day, lol. Hopefully it's spillproof. :)

 

[wastingmyyouth]

They get a lot of shit from real arcade fanboyz, but I love the A1UP machines and adore the ones I currently own. I just wish they were more affordable in Australia (currently $1000+ AUD). Really digging the new builds with the coin doors and extended panels around the screens.

We can't be far off Time Crisis / Virtua Cop / House of the Dead right??

The stereo speakers connect via a 3.5mm audio jack, so a cheap mod is to use a Logitech Z313 or another 2.1 PC speaker set and pump the audio through it.

IIRC John D at A1U said there would be more lightgun games in the future.

Well fuck, the nostalgia hit me hard with the KI arcade cabinet. I remember 1st time seeing it. I actually heard it before seeing it as the owner of the arcade(or tech guy) had blasted the cabinet's volume to max and I could hear the sounds of the game + OST like 100 feet away outside the arcade. Shit was glorious and hype as hell. KI2 was love at first. I got to see KI after the 2nd and it just looked bad compared to the 2nd.

 

[Maximilian]

Maybe if they sell a million KI cabs they'll make a new KI?

Spoiler: Spoiler

Right?



Guys?...

Well damn, that 4-player X-Men cab will have to be mine. The amount of money I spent on all three of those games in the arcade is still prolly less than the cost of the Arcade 1Up cab.

 

[Ninjadom]

That's my fear, it won't be the same without that Nintendo part in the attract mode. I mean they did something similar with the Turtles arcade1up machine where they had to rerecord the turtles theme, It turned out to be ok and wasn't too bad but it wasn't exactly the same afterwards.

Click to shrink...

In Killer Instinct original arcade there's:

- Nintendo branding on the outside of the machine
- A Nintendo logo on the attract mode
- Nintendo mentioned on the licensing screens
- The Ultra 64 logo on the attract mode together with the phrase "available in 1995..."
- A Nintendo Ultra 64 advert on a billboard on Orchid's skyscraper stage.

Read the example I gave, they are saying people should let them know if it's the kind of thing they may want the company to make. Actual announced machines like Killer Instinct talk about the game and then have you be notified when they go on sale, totally different wording.

Imma assuming all of those were removed for the xbox one port of the game when the released KI1 and 2 along with KI3 Imma guessing and they're probably using that port.
