Am I the only one that likes that this cabinet does NOT have bright RGB light strips all over it? I really like that the body doesn't light up like a Las Vegas Casino slot machine.
I love the simplicity and versatility of the cabinet. Changing the screen orientation for different games is a neat idea. Nice work! Cool games, as well!
These actually look really nice, much better than the previous monstrosities they were offering. Those control panels are ginormous though, and I understand its to allow the 2-4 player swap. but still looks HUUUUUGEE. Great to see a traditional looking cabinet with modern function and reliability. I would love to walk into an EXA Arcade full of these. They now need a modular steering wheel/pedal setup and they'll be covered.
It's weird - in pics the CPs look huge but in person they aren't. I would like to replace my 2p exA cab with an Arc-1 though. Also agree on the steering wheel CP, that'd be rad.
@@arcadeheroes_coinop Oh really? That's even better then. I really like the styling of these. Clever to incorporate their own graphic, but also look a lot like an MVS. I'd love to visit an arcade full of these running all these new great games and ports. The arcade is truly alive again.
Many of these games I want ported to home consoles like the PS5… salivating over the possibility of ports like Saidaioujou on the PS5 (Hey City Connection! DO IT!) along with Daemon Bride and Arcana Heart. Hey, M2 is releasing Dodonpachi Daioujou (without the Sai part) this year as part of M2 Shot Triggers but I’m dying to hear new info on it. Hopefully next month.
They have a few new games here that haven't been seen publicly before - I played through the whole Jitsu Squad demo and will have that video up some time :)
@@arcadeheroes_coinop Yeah I helped fund that game on kickstarter. I am in the Credits and getting the special edition for the Switch! Could have been in that game as a character but I opted out. :) Again wish we had some Arcade exclusive games that help bring more people to the Arcades. Games I loved to play back in the day at the Space Shuttle here in Tucson when I was a kid: Prehistoric island in 1930, Aurail, TNK 3 (IRON TANK on NES), Dragon Breed, Dragon Spirit, Quartet, Galaxy Force 2, Night Striker, ALIENS, Space Gun, Daytona USA 2 Power Edition. If modern game companies would focus more on fun and unique simple games like that with interesting creatures and give me a reason to win tickets while I play an amusement game. You will get money and everyone wins. What they also need to bring back are big machines that can hold up to 6 - 10 players and have multiplayer online.
@@dragongamer2670 bigger multiplayer games without online is better since many street arcades operate without strong internet. Small and budget friendly arcade titles would be the way to go.
Yk, a thought came to mind, the single player version of the ARC-01 has all that table space and just single player controls, which I kinda find odd. They left all that empty space only for a single player. They should’ve at least added a cup holder or smth.
@@arcadeheroes_coinop Should that be true, then it would sound like a surefire deal. Looked for that product at those distributors, but not up there yet.
@@JohnshiBRPG It's very normal for distributors to take weeks (sometimes months) to list IAAPA product on their websites although if you call up one of their sales reps they'll have pricing for you and will sell.

Makes me wonder why SNK never made a cabinet like this? It feels like a true sequel to the Neo Geo MVS.
Love this cabinet design
Me too.
Nice looking cabinets. It would be cool to own one of these someday...

Looks so much better than the FunCo cabs from last year

I was wondering why the concave buttons and bat tops, but then you mentioned they're made in the U.S. so it makes sense.
Bat top superior. Ball top inferior.
Cool wish they would showcase more new games or concepts for machines :(

I’d really love to see KOF ‘98 UM or KOF 2002 UM come to exA
How can I find out where Exa-Arcadia arcade cabinets are in the U.S.A.?
Here's a game locator: arcadebelgium.be/ab.php?l=en&r=loc&p=exa
astro ninja man exa!!😀
What are the prices on these and where could one buy them?
There are presently 3 distributors: AVS, Birmingham Vending and Shaffer Distributing. Pricing may vary there but it should be in the area of $5-6k

@@arcadeheroes_coinop That includes a motherboard and game i assume?
@@davidcheckingade870 yes
Looks like they got the Arcade1UP design team involved 😄
Very uninspired and boring looking cabinets. They look DIY.
It's design is mostly inspired by Neo Geo, since exA-Arcadia is similar to Neo Geo
@@jasonmartinez5116 I get that. I have a Neo Geo 6-slot cabinet. I'm talking about the woodwork and overall shape. It looks like an Arcade1Up.
