It's a mini arcade with a big feel trackball and lens on it! Let me know what you think of New Wave Toys Missile Command below!
Cant wait to get mine,,, I got the other one well not yet.....
@@PlisskensRun the special edition shipped first for qbert, but shipping second for missile command, gotta flip a coin
The sound delay of the explosions is just because you are so far away
@@SoulforSale 🤣🤣 thats what I was thinking
@@PlisskensRun lol that's pretty funny 😁
These guys are getting to the point where I'm not 100% convinced they don't have a shrink ray somewhere and are just shrinking full sized machines. This looks fantastic and seems to play really well going by this vid. Awesome review man
Honey I Shrunk The Arcade?
@@PDubsArcadeLoft ha! Like the old Mr Arcade adverts
These guys always hit home runs. I fell behind in collecting these things, but I love every one I’ve ever got and this one looks awesome.
Appreciate the feedback Will!
I have the prototype one preordered but haven’t heard anything yet. Looks so good. While pricey, I’m glad I got into collecting these.
They aren't cheap but I think they are worth it.
mine has shipped by ups
I got mine today. Still waiting on my Launch Edition. It's so cool. Thanks PDubs.
Thank you and agreed and enjoy!
This one looks amazing. I may pick it up. Every time I look at the ones I have the nostalgia comes flying back. They do an amazing job! I have the change machine and arcade carpet mats as well. I only have room for a couple more so I am being very selective on the ones I am picking up. Food fight looks very interesting. I love the look of the cabinet.
Thanks Dana. I have Food Fight on preorder too. I think I'm addicted to these bad boys.
I didn't detect an audio delay but I did hear a possible Giveaway! haha. Pretty cool. I'll have to think about starting a new collection of these mini cabinets. Thanks for the awesome review!
Yes sir I won't need two!
Great video PDubs. You would have loved this back in the day. One of my top earners for a long time. Some day I'll have to contact you to talk about the industry. Take care. Thanks!
Thanks Terry! Much appreciated!
Imagine the possibilities if New Wave or Numskull either produced 3/4 scale cabinets or if they partnered with one of the other manufacturers.
I wish they would!
PDubs,
You're review, seeing the finished product live now, I'm going to get one. What really sold me was that new screen filter they tried out. The reasons I didn't pre-order this one was I wasn't sure how that CRT idea would pan out and how the small volcano buttons would effect gameplay (they're so tiny). But since they nailed the CRT aesthetic and I realized I'm like you, I don't play these much, I like displaying them, I'm going to pick this one up. I clicked on the link you provided and signed up to be notified when sales go live.
Awesome review! Thanks PDubs!

Thanks Vegas, personally I love the CRT lens on here. I also will only play it once or twice a month. It's for looks. Lol
Looks amazing! Can't wait for mine to show up 😁 could you imagine if New Wave made a 3/4 scale cab with all those details 🙌
I wish they would. They would do it right.
Hey Pdubs, I love this!! I often have Missile Command playing on my ALU. this looks outstanding and the little details are amazing. The faux CRT lense is incredible!!
I love the Lens, very innovative!
😮 Maaaaaaan….I’m so jealous. Looks awesome! Was hoping the trackball would be decent. CRT filter looks great too. Peeved I missed out on the order so I’ll be buying one if they got some extras.
Thanks for another great review bro!
Yes sir trackball is pretty good IMO.
Thank you for this video.
Mine arrives tomorrow. I have every title they've released to date.
They are very fun to collect
These toys are incredible! I have them all and will continue to grab em. It’s like owning my own mini arcade. And Yes, i have John connor playing it in my arcade!
Where did you find a John Connor action figure?
I love it just broke into it last night… Im highly impressed with that trackball very responsive
I'm glad your enjoying it!
That screen filter looks amazing. I'm typically not interested in the mini's but this seriously has me considering getting one. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching!
That delay is normal. You're supposed to see the explosion then hear it after. I believe they are going for the fact that you are at your command center so you would see the explosion before hearing it. Original Atari version is the same way.
Excellent thank you
Another review I found on Reddit pointed out that the menu settings are not correct regarding which coin door button you need to press ie: left vs right coin door button. Great review PDub! Fred
Thanks Fred…I thought that’s how it was lol
Just received mine and couldn’t be happier! Another great job by NWT.
Appreciate the feesback!
I like the CRT filter thing, looks sweet.
Me too! A bit hard to see on video but very noticeable in person
What if I was blind? Would I see all these things you keep telling me I'm going to see? Lol. Nice review and full disclosure
Thanks D-Love!!!!
I have every single one and love them all
Thanks Woody! They are super cool
No delay. That is exactly like the MAME ROM I have.
Excellent
Cute little thing!
Lol it's adorable
I have an idea for a tabletop Replicade display. Make a tiny arcade. You can get some fabric or even carpet that is brightly designed and is responsive to UV light and put them next to each other or you can have a display with two sides you can play on.
They actually sell a carpet directly from New Wave Toys for your dioramas on their website an arcade carpet
@@PDubsArcadeLoft I will have to buy something from there soon.
This has the attention to detail A1Up should be putting in their cabs.
Agreed 👍
Hey nice machine looks really nice. Remember light is faster than sound so they got it right in real life if you see an explosion from far it takes a few seconds to hear it. 🤪 Great review wish they made these even larger love the details.
Lol thanks my dude!
The audio sounds fine. I'm definitely getting one. Thank you.
Thank you for confirming the audio.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft your welcome sir. And thank you for the video. I love missle command ever since I was a kid. I have it on centipede partycade. But I always wanted a stand alone one.
Great review pdubs. I just received mine and i love it. Keep up with the great videos good sir
Thanks for the support as always!
Amazing review! Still waiting for my unit, as I preordered the field edition, hoping to receive it soon! BTW, I would love they'd made a Pole Position replica one day! 😊😊
I'm glad you enjoyed the review thank you! Pole Position would be cool
Still waiting to get mine, I got the field test edition one
Nice I hope you like it!
Great review now I want one!
Thank you for enjoying the Review!
man I want one LOL I sold my full-size. They need to Sell that screen filter for 19in LCDs!
Lol that's actually a cool idea
@@PDubsArcadeLoft See I'm thinking of things outside of the Box if they produce that technology technology for regular LCD screens they would make a killing because everybody that with own a regular arcade that put an LCD screen on arcade one of they come in Sizes and 19 and 17 You obviously talk to these guys they shouldn do that because in all honest-to-God I would buy 5 tomorrow!!
Freaken amazing!
I think it's pretty cool
Yeah I gotta pile on other thoughts. I hope these tiny cabs are test runs and the end goal being to get into 3/4 cab market. There's room and a need for the competition. Do you think they have the financial capabilities to jump in? I hope so.
I would personally love to see them attempt that. I've always been very pleased with their stuff for the most part.
Awesome! I wish 1up had this CRT lens effect.
I think it's cool 😎
I wonder if I should buy my first one.
Up to you my dude
I don't think there's any audio delay. I just fired up Missile Command on my Tempest Arcade1Up to compare... the explosion sound doesn't happen the moment your missile explodes; it happens after the expanding explosion causes one of the enemy missiles to explode. So the more you lead the incoming missiles, the more the delay.
I'm not fan of the CRT "lens". The magnification is a little too exaggerated, IMO, and I don't like all the reflections it causes.
Trackball is a kinda janky, at least on mine. Movement with the trackball on my Centipede replicade is super smooth; it's actually rather amazing how well it works. But on my Missile Command, the crosshair is kinda jittery / jumpy. And if you spin the trackball hard, the cursor barely moves.
Is it me, or does it seem like the max brightness of the screen isn't as high as previous cabinets? (even after cranking the setting all the way up).
The cabinet itself is absolutely gorgeous; they nailed that aspect of it.
Thank you for confirming the audio. That's why I asked the viewers opinion. I think the trackball works fine for what it is, if it was completely free rolling maybe it would be better. Did you adjust the sensitivity?
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Turning off the "Trackball XL" setting, and leaving the sensitivity at Medium seems to work best for me. By disabling the XL setting, I can do quick rolls of the trackball to get the crosshair moved from one side of the screen to the other. With the XL setting On, hard rolls of the trackball don't do much of anything; the crosshair practically stays in place, and sometimes even jumps in the opposite direction. Especially with sensitivity set Low.
Amazing good video
Thank you
I saw no means of pre-ordering. I presume (since they are shipping) pre-orders are closed. Am I missing something?
They are shipping all preorders from last year now. Once those are sent out they usually open it up for new customers
I know this is off subject, but didn't you have a tutorial on how to fix an adapter once it loses power or shorts out? I think the inside fuse shorted out on mine. I would appreciate the help. The company is charging me $20 for a new adapter and $20 shipping! Ugh 😳
That wasn't me my dude, no clue which youtuber did that, my apologies
they need to fix the explosion audio then ill buy it
Apparently that's the way it sounds and just my own hearing.
I honestly hate that 'faked out CRT' look. I just got mine and it just feels janky. I guess here's hoping they make it optional for future cabs.
I appreciate the feedback and opinion!
Yeah. Needs toning down. Maybe half as much magnification.
I actually like it looks pretty nifty
How is it to play on? It looks like you'd get carpal tunnel after five minutes given how squished everything is Also, Missile Command gets notoriously difficult very quickly, is this a nightmare after a couple of levels? Looks like it would get frustrating to control when the challenge ramps up.
Shame those of us in the UK can't obtain these with ease.
I'm sorry to hear that
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Haha it's ok. It is what it is. Tax is a pain, but we get our fair share of exclusives too so it goes both ways. Oh well.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft It's all good anyways, I've managed to save up and get the field test edition, just awaiting it to be shipped.
👍
Thank you
The 3 volcano buttons are not light up? Are they not working or turn off?
Not the action buttons
@@PDubsArcadeLoft oh that a bummer 😞 it still a nice collectable. Just alittle overpriced for me.
I don't think they were lit up on the original one, just the 1 and 2 Player buttons were lit.
I usually dislike products like this because they are cheap cash grabs. The buttons and trackball convince me this is different.
It's fun!
It looks nice but I am done with New Wave Toys. They remove negative reviews on their website so they cannot be trusted. I and I know two other people left honest negative feedback on the Mini Blasters as it has a hissing noise when connecting via bluetooth and their FM antenna is atrocious so I could not use the functionality I had intended, making it just art. It was honest feedback and they remove it. It just feels dishonest to me so I do not give them my money.
They did? I'm surprised to hear this. I pointed out the hissing in my review of those
Giveaway! Me, me me me me 😀
I'll add it to my 15K subscriber giveaway pile
This game was a top five for me, it’s always exciting when you get that shipping notice!
