1ups are cool for home use and home use only. They aren’t built to last in a public space where anyone could take a screwdriver and pack the thing up or just destroy it.
I get the disadvantages of having them in the hotels, as the maintenance would be an issue and they would be replacing joysticks and buttons. But I don't understand the notion of putting a pinball in there instead. The initial cost is about 20 times higher and the maintenance would be 100 times the headache and cost lol
@@xtlm you have to remember , pinballs are at bars and pubs everywhere taking a beating too. But they hold up for the most part. Yes you would still need maintenance people.
1st Week? My tron Stick broke after 10 minutes of play. Yes I got a tron. I was a sucker when they came out. I've since them sold most of my 1ups. I did replace the stick with GRS version.
True, it's a bad idea from a "maintenance and logistics standpoint" but I could say the same thing about a hotel putting real pinball and arcade cabinets anywhere on location. Can you imagine being a hotel manager and having to hire someone to come fix an old CRT? Every time I go to a hotel or movie theater that actually still has a game room (which is rare), all of the machines are broken. At least with an Arcade1Up you can just throw it in the garbage and buy a new one.
This only works if they have a bunch of replacement parts or even boxed machines ready to go when something goes bad. These machines would get absolutely thrashed in a hotel or bar environment. If the chains are aware of this and think it benefits them to eat those repair/replacement costs then maybe it could be listed as a perk.
Yea, if they had a bunch of replacment , and just swap out immediately, and maybe just send back to 1up for replacment, it could work. but shipping back and forth cabs would be a pain. maybe i'll go into 1up hotel room arcade fixing.
Stern pinball in a suite not a bad idea... Maybe 1Up should focus on updating their pinball machines with 1080p, bigger playfield and an interactive backglass. Then make exact replicas of full size arcades into 3/4 scale that are more durable. If you make a good product perhaps these hotel chains will come to them wanting to buy their arcades?
No wonder Nintendo wouldn't want to work with Arcade1Up to sell Build-It-Yourself Cabinets with Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr., Mario Bros, and even Vs. Series titles. They'd rather sell it themselves on the Nintendo eShop.
Totally agreed. It be like putting Ikea furniture in your best hotel rooms. A-1Up would have to vastly up their game with special "public" models. I've seen postings in the past about people that thought they could put these on location for added benefits, not knowing that the build quality is in the light weight range. Real arcades made in the '80s are still around, despite being in many random and unprotected locations because they were built to last. These machines were built for home gaming rooms with a mindset that the people that paid money to buy and build them are going to respect them. And, even then, inferior things like the Tron joystick's low grade and thin plastic or the Buck Hunter's poorly protected gun cameras are going to work against any TLC the owner might show to their paid machines. But on location with total strangers? Waste of money for the business.
I'll preface saying I have no interest in collecting arcade cabs much less A1up's, but I agree with your points. From what I see, Arcade1ups are meant to be installed in homes, as the main selling point seems to bring some arcade experience to private living spaces. They're not meant to withstand the handling of many customers over several years unlike original cabinets. The recreational center in my university had original cabs and most of them were still very playable and in great condition.
Agree. Many people who own 1ups are already complaining theirs aren’t even turning on anymore and screens are blank and worse. So imagine in general use.
Every Company that gets too greedy ALWAYS gets too blind....ALWAYS. I ALWAYS knew from its inception Arcade 1UP would get closer and closer to failing because they are greedy. And because they arecades are NOT really up to par..especially the screens which were always too small for the arcade and too few games included in a World of Raspberry Pi's and emulators. Insane.
I agree that 1up is and has been gone as we know it for a while. It's an interesting idea for them and I see the cabs looking like Walmart displays, but....if 1up can get someone to bite AND not have to deal with warranty/maintenance, it would be a way for them to offload a lot of cabinets. I'm not renting a specific room or hotel chain because I can play a 1up in my room.
I enjoy your content and agree with you that the quality of an arcade 1up is bad. I also agree with you that their quality would not stand up to constant use of the public and is not a good fit in a suite. I am fortunate enough to travel a lot with stays in suits (as upgrades due to hotel status) and this is not a good fit or what I look for in a suite room. I do disagree with your contestant bashing of these products. For most people, Arcade 1up is just a toy and considered so. I purchased these Star Wars and modified it with a bigger screen and the buystuff arcade game box and it is great and looks great in my game room. I do not want or need a full size arcade and like the multicade I modded. I agree with you that Arcade 1up was a horribly run company and missed so many opportunities to be successful but I think we should acknowledge for an average consumer (and not a purist) it is a decent product. I am considering purchasing the Atgames 4k Peanuts pinball machine which you bash all the time. I agree they are not advertising it correctly but for a home use hobbyist it seems like a good product. I will put it in my game room and have fun with it. I would never buy a Sterns and really like the options to have multiple tables. Am I wrong for considering purchasing and Atgames 4k pinball?
@@shawnholloway2410 the Atgames 4k is fine for what it is, not a bad cost. My plight is the only really good tables are the zen and all the Atgames shills act like all the snoopy tables and Dr Seuss tables are “so much fun “. BS. MY other issue is that the zen tables are nerfed , the physics are different from fx or fx3. And tons of options are not there. But if you never played them on a good pc , then you won’t know any better. As for 1up. I never criticized general public persons for liking their machines. I just want them to know that playing on those machines isn’t the best experience. These channels that dedicated their lives to this product and considered themselves gaming experts , were all frauds. And now they have sold all their 1ups and realized that no credible gaming channel can support that crap product. I’ve always said, go watch some random RUclipsr say they like it , a casual, and that’s fine , but when you portray yourself as an gaming RUclips arcade channel and you are lying to everyone saying how great they are, it’s a joke. It would be like eta prime saying how great the old Atgames Blasts and fake consoles were. And constantly pushing them on people.
@@therexershow Totally agree on the Arcade 1up RUclipsrs. It is a one sided review with only the positive and fake hype. I think Arcade 1up put too much effort into promoting through the wrong channels and did not expand their product line in the proper direction and improved quality. I agree with you on just about everything and really enjoy the channel. I think my biggest issue (and not your fault) is for a general person, it is extremely difficult to find a specific purpose review that satisfies my use for the machines, specifically the AtGames pinball. Either I listen to the shills or follow your advice on the product as too many shortfalls. I get your view, when you have a Stern or a real PC table, it would be going backwards playing an Atgames. It would be like driving a Porsche and then go to driving a Toyota Camry. Anyway, I really like your show and enjoy it. I am just frustrated on if I will enjoy the Atgames pinball if I purchase. I really want one an think it will be fun, I will just have your opinions in the back of my mind. Oh these first world problems. LOL. Keep up the good work!
@@shawnholloway2410 think about this. They all said “preorder !! “. And you would have been Stuck with an Addams family. They all said no more discounts. Now you’re getting the same discounts as well as no interest financing if done right. Plus , you now know the tables run better and will avoid that frustration. They also hyped , like Pdubs did , the VPX on board Atgames is COMING !! Bs. That died , it was a hoax. The idea is to just let you know what you’re getting upfront. None of the bells and whistles that come with of FX , not 4k, 60 fps at MOST , which we don’t even know how accurate that is. If I bought it; I’d be running OTG Fx on it. And be happy with that. If you follow the shills, you’d be stuck with an Addams family, and have bought 200 crappy off shoot tables.
Growing up I noticed hotels used to have arcade rooms (Atleast a few machines). But from what I've seen most have been phased out over time. I highly doubt hotels will be on board with this... if they were to make an entertainment area they'd put real arcades back into their hotel not particle board.
Yes. They used to have a couple cocktail tables and such in hotels. Real ones though. And I don’t recall them on free play. I would think they would want them to generate some revenue.
If any hotel is dumb enough to do this, then maybe they can hire Mike B as their maintenance guy. Who better knows how to replace the rubber bands in the joysticks when they snap? I hear he’s an expert at scotch taping cracked bezels too.
An Arcade1Up in my room cheapens any experience. They should just get a real pinball or arcade on free play if they want any REAL nostalgia or cool factor.
