1UpArcade announces Ms. Pac-Man, Marvel vs Capcom, X-Men vs Street Fighter, Marvel Pinball, and more

X-Men vs Street Fighter, Mutant Apocalypse, and Marvel vs Capcom all on one board? I kinda wanted the SFII cab for the aesthetics of it (missed out on the $50 cabs from Wal-Mart), but this is definitely the best package in terms of games until they make an Alpha 2 Upper cab.
I think I've heard the reason they're smaller is so they can be licensed far more cheaply as "toys" (think the handheld PacMan and Atari consoles) as opposed to being treated as ports or re-releases.
The test units they sent out was a Star Wars themed one. They will have other virtual pinball units for sure.
I've gotta own that Ms. Pac-Man. Didn't think this would ever be a possibility.
With the riser it's pretty much legit cabinet size. Actually, it's better IMO because you can fit it in your living room quite easily.

They're great to mod! I have three, Mortal Kombat, Golden Tee, and SF2. Modded the SF2 , really easy to do.
MvC2 would need to be its own cabinet given that it runs on different hardware.
The entire series from COTA through MVC1 needs to be packaged into one game and be announced at EVO 2020...and announce MVC4. ;)
I'm really happy that not only that these cabinets are being released but Marvel and Capcom still have a positive relationship (at least a good enough one to re-release the older games). I would love to buy both of these for the artwork alone!

Ehh even with the riser it's noticeably shorter and the size of the control board is pretty small. Having said that, I don't think a normal cab would fit well in your average living room so these definitely have a purpose.
wasnt COTA 4 players? Too bad it's not setup like the turtles one
American arcade machines generally were built with extra-tough controls (usually HAPP) to handle abusive American players. The Japanese originals (usually Sanwa or Semitsu) were much more responsive and hand-friendly.
CotA was a 1-on-1 fighting game (like Street Fighter).
Really want to mod one and put some Touhou games on it, would be awesome in a cabinet! Nice pics btw!!They're great to mod! I have three, Mortal Kombat, Golden Tee, and SF2. Modded the SF2 , really easy to do.
It also would be a nightmare for retailers to carry full size cabinets. These smaller cabs are made to be assembled and feature cheap materials mostly, even then they take a good chunk of retail space to display and store, going full size would be quite a cost and retail space increase that many stores would not want to deal with.
The modding potential on that Big Game Hunter cabinet... fuck man, I'm going to have to buy all of these except for the pinball table. Digital pinball isn't going to cut it for me.
Love the Mortal Kombat one from them; easy to build (took an hour by myself), picking the Ninja Turtkes one next.
The Marvel one from this is tempting, keeping an eye out.

Yeah that was the Konami beat em up one. Never got a home port either. I remember our arcade had the huge six player one.
Man, I would love to have that Capcom/Marvel one just for the novelty of it lol. What was the price point of some of the previous ones USD? Didn't they also kind of crater at price at one point? I know I saw a few at my local Wal-Mart for like $25.
Yep, that Marvel vs Capcom cab will be mine. I haven't made a big purchase for myself in a while, so I am not even gonna think twice about it. The cab, riser, and if they release a MvC-themed stool, that too. Maybe I'll just get a Street Fighter stool and a Marvel stool if they don't make any with MvC artwork on them. The X-Men vs SF cab is cool too but it doesn't have my favorite fighting game character ever on the side of it (Morrigan), so the MvC unit wins out.
I would love to see Guns n Roses pinball on one of those. I'm sure it will never happen though. Only place I know that has it is some pinball museum in Las Vegas.
They usually went for $300 to $400. I could see the Marvel cab going for $400 since it'll be coming with a riser and light-up marquee. It might come with Sanwa parts, too, if the previous Marvel Super Heroes cab is anything to go by.
Oh shit, I was thinking like...$200. I guess maybe I'll wait for a sale or another price crater later on lol
Nice for the handful that have the space for these things. I'd still prefer the original boards, but good to have options.
But this bodes well for a potential Marvel collection on current gen...soon to be last gen (and then stuck on last gen for years and years). I hope so, anyway.
Edit: Wait, there's an X-Men cab and a Marvel cab and both have MvC1? Aiya, just merge it into one, more awesome cab?
Would like to know emulation standard too.

Man, I'm tempted but I already blew like $400 on a PC bartop cabinet.
WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE??
You already got it. That looks so clean...battops aside.
This 100. I'd love a giant collection that I can buy on disc.
They are 3/4 the size. You need to sit on a stool or chair to play them in a comfortable manner. If you buy the riser (as seen in your picture) it increases the height to what arcade cabinets were on average back then. Either way I find the cabinets a bit too cramped compared to normal arcade machines, but they are definitely way easier than building your own (which I still plan on doing my self)Is it just me or are these smaller than they should
Is it just me or are these smaller than they should
Yes, they are smaller than the real cabinet. I also found that it's quite uncomfortable to play multiplayer on this cabinet since the controllers are so cramped together.
Unfortunately all the pin software will be by Zen.
However there is a thriving vpin scene that's been modding the Toyshock machines. They've even figured out how to get a real plunger to work.
Am I the only one here who actually prefers Marvel VS Capcom over MVC2? Like, instead of seeing a MVC2 cab next year, I rather see Arcade 1Up drop a cabinet with some classic Capcom/Naomi fighters, like Power Stone, Project Justice and Tech Romancer. Also, a DarkStalkers or Street Fighter III cab would be pretty dope as well.
