Has anybody ordered one of those "Arcade 1 Up" Sets yet

[emazers]

These are suppose to be released Sept 25, they were suppose to be $400 each, but Walmart lowered the price to $300, so everybody else did the same. I got the Centipede system coming. Here is a Video of a guy reviewing the Street Fighter Game. If you want all the details just google Arcade 1 up and it shows who is selling them. I figure getting it at Walmart will be the best place to return it, if there is a problem.

ed, thanks for the share.  i had no idea these existed.

These are pretty cool.  I bet the Street Fighter one will be a hot commodity this Christmas.  Personally I'd rather have a MAME cabinet but I'm sure these will be hacked similar to the Classic NES.

If they were full size, I would be all over this. They are tiny.

If you get the Riser for $40 it makes it the same size as the arcade version.

They still look too small for me, even with the riser. Perhaps if I hadn't grown since my teenage years, it may seem the same size as the arcade version

In for Rampage. Need at least one of these babies in the mancave.

If you want something like this, have the box built, and put a real computer in it with an emulator and get 1000's of games vs 1 or a few.

I've built a bartop sized arcade machine and put in a Jamma Board 60-in-1 board with 60 classic games (centipede, pacman, donkey Kong, etc).  They're not awful expensive, you can make it one or two player, add a track ball if you want, etc., but I'm definitely a fan of build it yourself.

I've also built a full size one that I simply installed an original NES into, then wired the control up to arcade buttons.  Pretty fun stuff!

Blurry picture from screen grabbing from my own YouTube channel but my bartop sized one was also shaped like an Iowa Hawkeyes football helmet.  Go Hawks!

I read the title and thought there was some super special LEGO exclusive I never heard of. Come to think of it, an arcade cabinet built from LEGO would be neat ....and I have the feeling I probably already said that one before. Haha.

Moving along this is a nice setup but honestly as others have stated, get an emulator (or two), download a library, and you're done. Almost every system up to the PlayStation 1 are emulated perfectly (or close to) running well on even a "potato PC". (Atari Jaguar and the 3DO were still in a rough spot last time I really checked though.) There are so many titles these sorts of sold setups more than likely will never be released with such as Seiken Densetsu 3 on the SNES or Kabuki Klash: Far East of Eden for the Neo-Geo (and Neo-Geo CD) or Gaia Crusaders in the arcade. Yes I did pick some odd choices but that's my point. Those games are very fun; however these "retro" consoles and compilations appear to be sticking with a rather fixed finite and kind of obvious selection. In a marketing sense I can understand why and in some cases I can only imagine what it would take to re-release certain games (like the Adventures of Lolo series for example) yet here I am still feeling underwhelmed and generally fatigued.

Also just how many times does Street Fighter II need to be rereleased anyway? Good grief.
