“Too many fighting games”
Most of Neo Geo library: Fighting games
🤣
"My camera will never do it justice.." Footage looks great. 🧐😎
Thanks! The struggle is real
I agree. Some RUclipsrs are still using 720 crappy resolution. This is top notch video editing. Keep it up MetalJesus!
Garasky the iPhone 11 only displays at 720p, like millions of other phones, 1080p and above doesn’t even make sense half the time, a lot of people watch RUclips videos on the go in 480.
@@ImaFattyCat True. I'm PC master race that's why lol
@SNYDER
Metal Jesus put my channel onto his page, I think I'm allowed to give him a compliment.
Thought Kensie was a child first.
Kinsey is small...but feisty! 😂
@@MetalJesusRocks Short people also seem to stay young looking as well. Score!!!!😉
haha thought the same thing as well!
Kinsey is a disguised elf.
She was a child first.
That usb port will be pretty handy if the community decides to jailbreak this to get a bunch of game there.
Why do you think those extra buttons are there? They KNOW people are gonna hack this thing and that a lot of people wouldn't buy it they couldn't. They just can't legally say that outright.
@@Digitalbooty This 100%
It definitely needs to be hacked because you can get cheaper bartops with Mame etc
@@kujo1978lol where can we get cheaper bar tops under 500$?
@@kujo1978lol not at this quality
Man I can’t begin to tell you how much I love your videos. Ever since I was introduced to your channel, your videos have played a big part in helping me combat my anxiety, and I just wanna say thank you.
I miss the sound of an arcade. The chaotic blend of 100 different machines attacking your ears.
The controls look a little cramped for 2 people.
I agree. If I wanted to get on workman's compensation with carpal tunnel an hour on this thing should do it :)
If you're looking for that workmans comp angle you may want to lean more towards a slipped disk in the back and less at carple tunnel syndrome. Js lol you need like a decade plus to blame a company for carple tunnel while a slipped disk is just an off brand controller away. Assuming that box is on the ground behind a few things lol.
@@TheCrazyCanuck420 Ahaha!
agreed, but i still kinda want it. maybe a larger model that costs more would help. 19 or 21 inch screen possibly. i really like this device, its something perfect for a games room. also needs more games or more choices in types of game.
Its for smaller people i guess or just for children - as ALL GAMES ARE IN GENERAL :P
10 king of fighters, and no king of the monsters. Wtf.
Yeah it's absolutely no need to have ten of the same series . I won't pick this up until it's hacked like the arcade stick and the mini
i LOVED king of the monsters. sad they couldn't get that on there.
@Carl Ward nope.
@@gcforreal it might not be able to be hacked. There is no USB or somewhere to plug a cable into so you can transfer the files to the device
@@ThePeacePlant are you sure I'm pretty sure heard him specifically mention the unit had a usb port....
Why do these Neo Geo retro things always include Top Player's Golf instead of the far superior Neo Turf Masters? SNK bought Nazca, so I don't see why there'd be some licensing issue or something.
If the scene can hack this thing to run any Neo Geo ROM, then I'll consider buying one.
Neo Turf Master is awesome. Still one of my favourite golf games
Agreed. Neo Turf Masters or GTFO!
I was mad when i got one of those Neo Geo minis with TPG but no Neo Turf...got rid it and got ASP with over 180 Neo Geo games lol
Of course they can, I would say virtually instantly.
dee jay I completely agree! I love my mini but the lack of Turf Masters is such a bummer :(
Looks like it's solidly built compared to the Arcade1UP machines. I'd be the most curious to see what the insides are like. I wonder if you can swap the buttons easily with real arcade parts, or if it's a proprietary/PCB mounted design. Also curious what the modding potential will be down the line. I understand shooting with a camcorder isn't ideal, but I didn't see any screen tearing at least like with the Neo-Geo X from many years back. That's promising.
Can't wait to see unboxings and teardowns of this around xmas
I have one and there is SOME screen tearing occasionally. Nothing to scream about, but it pops up sometimes. I like the system and think it's good for what it is. My biggest gripe would probably be too limited options for image display. Most modes are unusable, including pixel perfect, which does not look right on an LCD. The smoothed over mode is the one I use, even though I think it vertically stretches the images a bit. I still think the system is a good deal if only for the beautiful marquee and front panel design.
Having an Arcade at home would be top of the mountain for me! Especially something related to SNK!
Hoping for an EU Amazon release of this soon Adam!
@@ianhobbies Yea, that would be awesome, man!
Yeah, this thing would have been an instant-buy if it only had an audio out…
@Football Legends Live Thanks for the heads up.. damn, they are not offering a combo deal with the riser.. a bit too much.
@Football Legends Live There's a lot going on for new stuff pre and post holidays.. Got the Astro City mini pre ordered.. xbox or PS5 ? can't decide on both I'll just get a Stadia! lol
Wicked video as usual MJR! Would love to eventually get into having a mini arcade of my own! Keep up the great work man \m/
Your captured footage was actually really crisp. Thumbs up.
$450.
No Windjammers, Neo Turf Masters, Street Hoop, Baseball Stars 2.
Thanks but no thanks.
I got all those plus 180 more on ASP...lil over $100 lol
My thought exactly, Windjammers is a must.
dee jay - you can get them all on MAME if that’s what all you’re after. I built some custom neo geo sticks and run launchbox on a PC.
Always interesting to see what's out there in video games, but my holy grail arcade cabinet would have to be an original vector graphics game like Asteroids or Omega Race.
That looks pretty awesome! I went for the CBOX MVS, a 161 in 1 cart an, OSSC, decent usb fighting stick, and a usb to neogeo controller adapter. I admittedly have more than $500 wrapped up in it but wow it’s awesome!
The Neo Geo is known for its Fighting games. Hence why the game selection is mostly fighting games
It would be nice if Neo Drift Out was included to add more variety of the genre.
Always wanted to build or get one of these, i will probably buy and play with my kids, the only thing is tye price, with another baby coming i think i only have money now for one console and i want to stream the new ones on my twitch channel, but i will defently buy one later, lets hope the baby dont take all the money from us hahaha
This looks pretty cool. Definitely raised my curiosity.
Nice MetalJesusRocks, just watched ETA Prime playing that, He had it last.
This is pretty cool, but not $450 cool. I wish SNK would would release more collections for the their franchises on PS4, X1, and Switch.
I get where you're coming from, but bear in mind that the original AES was $649 at release. This has a screen, arcade cabinet and 50 games included for $150 less !
I imagine you would have a tough time finding finding al of this on eBay for under $500.
That being said, virtual releases for modern consoles and PC's would of course also be awesome and potentially a lot cheaper, but it would miss a bit of the arcade experience.
Tons of Neogeo games on switch eshop, typically $8 each. You can buy cheaper in some European eshops by using PayPal.
I think I would have accepted that price point if they had a better joystick/ button combo. With this being such a fighter focused collection along with being their launch product (unless they're just looking for a quick cash-grab for the holiday season), eating $10-15 on their end would have made room for more "premium" quality...
It's pretty sweet. I wish I could say I had a place for one in my house. Price really isn't too bad considering the time and parts you would need to build one. Would be sweet to have some better buttons, but what eva.
I feel the same about the shooters, for me are all the same. But in other hand I always want a NeoGeo for the fighting games
The possibility of downloading more games is what made me pre-order this. Cabinet looks nice as well.
paint it in light blue and convert it to a marvel vs. capcom 2 cabinet!
Neo Geo executives that ran the company back in the early 2000's are in charge of this project. That helped in my decision as well. They will be open to adding to this cabinet, unlike Arcade 1up.
Possibly is not enough for me. It is missing entire genres.
@@roybyers6140 Cool, when it is official I will order one.
@@paulclinton6414 they a sheep
Great job, nice review 👍
Good review. I am a huge SNK fighting game fan so this is an outstanding value for me and I pre-ordered it on the first day!
Thanks for all your interesting arcade reviews and your place with all your different arcade consoles & games for each console looks absolutely Amazing have a fantastic day 💗🥰👍 😀
Look here Metal Jesus, when Kensie is in a video I EXPECT to hear her speak (and laugh bombastically).
Much love from NH. Stay safe out there homie.
Hey Ricky do you ever visit Funspot in Gilford?
SoulFor Sale I have about 125K tickets saved up! I love them so much...well, when there isn’t a pandemic...
I would like one of these, but sadly can't afford it right now. Great video Jason! Rock on!
"Here you see Metal Slug with Violence turned off." Sureee it is ;P
I really hope it's not censored
Violence turned off = no blood but the soldiers still die in flames and agony. :S
@@Ezyasnos exactly roflll
There is option while in game to turn off blood in Metal Slug series and in Samurai Showdown series for blood and fatalities.
Option where you can turn on violence and fatalities I meant to say lol ;)
Great review, thanks! I been following the release of this for a while, and I agree, the only thing I have reservations about is the game selection. Have you heard anything more about the potential to add games?
Love your content.
That looks awesome, I agree I don't think I would play all of the games but for sure KOF, Metal Slug!
Thanks! Looks great.
No love for Blue's Journey, my favorite NEO GEO game back in the 90's.
This video would’ve been a lot better if at the end you interviewed and talked about how they liked it with them rather than show them playing and narrate the whole time.
Not everyone is confident enough to talk on camera, unscripted, on a channel with almost 800k subs.
@@MarcoMazziniYT Kinzie at least has been in a lot of MJR's videos, though
@@AmuroRae That's not her, you're talking about Kelsey Lewin.
@@MarcoMazziniYT No, I'm thinking of Kinsey - ruclips.net/channel/UCSMJHi4vvNu-mETdZokpj8A
@@AmuroRae Wait a fraction of a second, there's no way the tiny woman in the video is Kinsey.
4:34 I'm from Mexico and for me, it's so normal than two extra white buttons in the Neo Geo Cabinets.
Seeing that cabinet reminds me of going to the arcade and playing Metal Slug like crazy
NEO GEO had the best Arcade games for the most part. Each cabinet had 4 games to choose from. King of the Monsters 2 was my favorite!!
I'd love something like this but no room lol. Got my lad one those Pandora box giant arcade pads though.. sounds great and has 2000 ish arcade games. It's the one with ryu on front pretty cool. We love beat em ups and got them ups
I thought for a moment in the thumbnail picture for the video that was Charlie Brooker
Just got mine yesterday. My boys love it. Dad hasn't played it yet lol
the first thing that came to my mind when i read the title was king of fighters lmao.
It would be nice to have a cabinet but with space restrictions I want with the Neo Arcade Stick Pro which is a hell of a value especially after upgrading it with a Bat Top and more games hard to beat for $100.
This thing looks amazing ! I've always wanted a NeoGeo, especially for the Fatal Fury games, and this would really bring the arcade feeling to the home for a much lower cost (both in money and space requirements) compared to buying 8 original MVS arcade cabinets.
However, there are some deal-breakers; Looking at the borders around the screen I feel like it could have benefited from a larger screen, and the lack of a video out (HDMI?) doesn't help either. But most importantly for me the lack of a audio out / headphone jack is what really bums me out.
wat? MVS cabs have multi cart slots and also for 450 you can just get a old cab thats broke,shove a pi in it lol? and have way more games.
Ended up here somehow... Those guys sure are having fun, look at their little faces! 🙂
I'm a massive Fighting game fan and I love all those fighters, but I have to agree it would have been nice to include some more variety. Aero fighters, Bomberman, Last Resort, Magical Drop, Puzzle Bobble, Spinmaster, Super Dodgeball, King of the Monsters and Windjammers! Hopefully there will be updates in the future! I'll probably still get it eventually.
i love Kensie's mini cab, perfect size i find
yes sir I preorder it looking forward to it
They should add more fighters. 🤣 I thought your camera did great! Thanks for the review and getting feedback from Kinsey/Tony since they own the original.
Thanks for watching!
awesome 👍😊👍 thanks for showing
No problem 👍
Thanks for your video
Most welcome
This thing looks pretty cool!
These repros always forget the crt glass panel, which is essential to me.
CRT is still the way. At least for retro gaming.
They don’t forget them. They omit them by choice. Nobody manufactures CRT panels anymore. So not really possible to mass produce CRT versions
@@arjungandhi1242 I’m just talking about the glass, not the vacuum electron gun
I dunno that I’d call this a repro. It’s an officially licensed commercial retail product. I feel like repro strongly implies it’s an eprom in a 3D printed case or a maybe a sacrificed cart
@@jimobrien84 it’s not original, and I suppose not even a reproduction or facsimile. Hmmm
Already have mine on pre order
love it, love that size!
Pretty sweet...🤘🏼 If I were to get one, I wouldn't want the stand...👌🏼💯✔
I just ordered a bar top arcade last night, this timing is crazy
Nice! What game?
Bashi Just a mame one so I can play all my favourites
@@Ghjgfjjgv Awesome!
I bought the neo geo x and I loved it for long time, also I think this is really cool looking. Wish they would have put Crossed Swords on either one of these.
No Neo Turf Masters?
I'll stick with my AES, neosd and BVM.
Wait, gonna stick with that anyway...
I'm happy with my $10 switch version and the AES version on my NEO GEO asp with the hylo stick hack and unibios 4.0. That route is too rich for my blood lol. Neo Turf Masters is my favorite sports snk game along with Street hoops and windjammers.
I pre-ordered mine straight away, they actually offer shipping to Australia! It's going to look fantastic with my Arcade1Ups and Toy Shock pinball, bringing a little more variety to my home arcade. Although some of my favourites aren't included, I can't complain with 50 games! And I'm sure at some point there'll be an easy way to add more games with a USB stick if we want to.
Hi I'm in australia how u likin it just want some feedback if possible before I buy it also can you upgrade the joystick buttons etc and can you add more games
controls are wayyyyy too close to each other. i've got a custom made snes arcade joypad (two players) that is more than optimal, the more space the better.
..Still loving that Marshall fridge in background..
This damn pandemic really has me missing the game pickups videos. Anyone else agree?
Trust me dude you're not alone 😩😩.
I’m really tempted to buy one especially for the 50 games included as to the arcade 1up 4 but I agree that it’s so fighter heavy which I was never good at them using a joystick.
MJR THE ARCADE! Coming soon to a neighborhood by you!
Arguably a good solid build, needs shooters on it and some classic two player puzzle games but I think it's safe to say that people will add those in time with or without official firmware updates. Puzzle Bobble, Blazing Star, Pulstar, Last Resort and Zed Blade would be awesome on this thing.
went to a barcade with a bunch of these cabinets. fantastic device.
No Twinkle Star Sprites, Cyber Lips, Last Resort, Nam 1975, Pulstar, and man others.
I understand that they were probably too cheap to try to get the licenses for those titles, but come on, more variety here than just fighters.
Can you imagine playing Pulstar on that thing...Awesome!
Or Blazing Star. I completely agree.
And of course, no Neo Turf Masters (again) is a huge letdown.
No Neo Drift out?
i wish capcom had one of these, ghosts n goblins man... and available in australia also :)
They sort of do kotch media does a twin arcade stick with 16 something arcade games on it. No sure if you can get it in oz though.
@@brendanroberts1310 yeh i know the one you mean, its avaiable here, would much prefer a mini cab
Capcom classics vol 1 for PS2 or XBox original and a XArcade stick.
@@Reactivate100 i own it on ps2, would love a cab like when i was a kid thats all
Try EBay. Laters :)
Very cool. Seriously considering this. But, I'm torn between this, and the iiRcade. Very tough decision. want both, but have to be patient. LOL Thanks for the review.
Hey beautiful video yes I'm very interested in this are they on ebay also?
I need this like right STAT now.
Hey MetalJesus how do you deal with the fact that you have a huge collection and it is only going to get bigger as you collect more things? Have you ever had to get rid of anything in order to make room for other things?
Hey Metal Jesus! Love your content, i’ve been watching every single video that comes out for around 2-3 years now. I have a question. As we know, both PlayStation and Xbox have a way of “Achievements/Trophies” on every game. I’m an achievement hunter, and have 35 games 100% complete achievements and all, and it really opened up things in games i would’ve never seen if i didn’t go for achievements, have you ever considered maybe going for achievements/trophies?
I really like getting Achievements and Trophies in games, but RUclips has me bouncing around so much between systems and game releases, it's hard to focus on just one for very long. That said, I do wish the Switch had something like that as well...because handheld mode gets a lot of use too!
I never cared for it and i hate Microsoft for it!
Most achievments is totally ridiculous!
If it wasn't for all the fighting games, I wouldn't be interested, but seeing that it has so many...I'm tempted!
Hah thats for me one of the biggest dealbrakers. So little variation for 450bucks. And being a large male with even larger male Friends the fact this becomes single player makes it suck alot more!
Just bought a Marshall DSL1 (one watt blaster!). For grunge and such it rocks!
Looks pretty good. Out of my budget though good deal or not, plus don't know where I'd put it, but looks good.
Whats the quality of the cabinet like, Does the retail version come flatpacked like the arcade 1up, is the edge moulding the cheap iron on stuff or the proper tmoulding?
Don't worry
I'm always your near & side with you!
Kinsey looks like she is a hacker in a 90s movie. Good button action :)
This is going to be a buy for me, I love SNK
Ita funny I was looking these up about a week ago and now I'm seeing them all over in stores
I own Arcade1Ups so for me this is a nice fit in my little Arcade. I preordered this. 50 games is still tons. Awesome and fair review. You mention lots of fighting games, yes and those games are so huge on Neo Geo that they had to put them on there. With that being said or be crucified! (No offense) Everyone would love even more games, but there is some variety besides fighting, such as, Metal Slug, Magician Lord, Shock Troopers, Super Sidekicks, 3 CountBout, Baseball Stars, Football Frenzy Top Player Golf. This is 8 games that are each different from each other and from fighting games.
The "control panel of this "MvsX bartop" are arcade 1up same side? Or is smaller than arcade 1up???
i am getting one just waiting for the price to drop soon
Seeing that machine takes me back to my favorite pizza parlor as a kid.
The laundrymad near my house close down and the guy sold 3 neo geo cabinets he had there since forever...2 cab came with 4 games the 3rd with 3 games.. $200. Each cabinet.
All those games were interchangable. The MVX acted like a plug and play. An acracde owner could buy the rom or buy the machine and have NeoGeo come and swap them out if it wasn't making money
@@SoulforSale i bough 2 of them.. One with samurai shodown, king of fighters, bubble bubble and magic lord I think.. The other one not sure the but i know it has Super Sidekicks lol the main reason i got the cabinet...
MJR: What are those extra white buttons for?
Unico: I dunno. *wink wink*
Any game system with a violence option is alright by me. BRING ON THE GORE AND THE GUTS!
Any game system without and still gory is alright by me.
I’m a fighting game junkie, especially the SNK games. I will definitely pick this up!
Looks damn good! The size is the only disappointing thing about it. Not a fan of the arcade one up sized cabs.
the arcade1up cabs simulate the arcades of our youth. should they be smaller or bigger? i think they are a good size. tabletop 'cades are nice but i prefer an actual cabinet like i played on in the 80s and 90s
Video Games Are Fun I build my own full size units so that’s what I’m used to. I would like a full sized licensed product one day that is reasonably priced.
Amazing
In Canada, Unico is a food brand so that really trips me out lol.
What’s the game that the guy and kid play at 1.08 ?
I remember that from my youth in a snooker club we used to go to.
Does it have attract mode? We have a home arcade setup and having the machines running with the random attract modes makes a nice first impression.
I agree.
I wonder if you can add a one slot mvs into a cab this size...I have a full sized 4 slot mvs, but would love something more portable that was still in a cab. Might need to look at what cab plans are available.
Is this unit the one ETA Prime reviewed? Seems like the time between his and yours is too short to have had him ship to you. Also you have the updated marquee for KOF 98. The first unit reviewed had the older marquee.
I've always wanted to build a mame cabinet about this size, just don't have a place to put it right now.
Also noticed in the footage, you really gotta get friendly with 2 player games. They're hands are rubbing and their shoulders are touching. I guess that's to be expected with this size tho.
