    Arcade1Up Killer Instinct Review! Once considered to be impossible, Arcade1Up and Code Mystics teamed up to make a 3/4 scale at home arcade version of Killer Instinct a reality. I never really had much history with Killer Instinct in the Arcades growing up so I wasn't sure if this was a necessary add to my GenieCade. Luckily my good friend Mike Dalton was king enough to lend me his so I could do this review. Find out If I think the cabinet lived up to the lofty expectations of fans and if you should consider adding it to your game room or home arcade. Also find out if it won me over enough that I added it to mine.

    Welcome to my channel. I have been playing and collecting games since 1987 and I use this channel to share my passion and memories of gaming. I review games that I believe are under appreciated or wrongfully dismissed on Game Genie Reviews. Video Game Nostalgia is a fun series where I take a look at a topic from my gaming past and share games that come to mind from it. I also do Top 10 lists, of course I do...what else is on youtube right? Well I like to think I put my own spin on them because they are based on my life in gaming. Hope you enjoy the channel and always looking forward to hearing from you.

    Fantastic review! I purchased the Killer Instinct arcade cabinet not knowing that it would be my 11-year-old daughter's and my favorite out of the 15 arcade cabinets I own. It is a absolute blast to play 😎🤘

    Great review - cab looks awesome and the gameplay smooth. Love the soundtrack to these games as well. Lots of great memories playing the fighting game trifecta at my local arcade - Mortal Kombat 3, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and Killer Instinct.

    Awesome! Glad you were able to work out a deal to keep the KI cab. I've got the 3/4 scale cab en route. Had to pounce on it when the 400 dollar off deal rolled through my inbox from A1up. That sword wielding skellybob just looks so sweet on the side panel. :)

    Great review sir! Succinct and respectful as always. 🤘Congrats on the trade, I really enjoy this cab in my arcade also. (once the power bugs got worked out of course) I've been inside the control panel to swap in some better parts and the sticks that are in there are different from the usual ones we'd find. They do feel a bit better/tighter. The use of circle gates helps too. I wonder how much variation there is in the marquee wash out? Mine was horrendous. 😆I swapped in an acrylic replacement from Szabo's Arcades and it really pops now! Highly recommended if anyone is looking to upgrade, and reasonably priced to boot.

    Michael, is the monitor in the non pro KI BOE 4:3? Because the new wi fi MK coming out has a 5:4 17” monitor like the gen 1’s. They are cheaping out with the monitors on newer cabs this year it seems like. What is so bad about the new Golden Tee monitor?

    On this cabinet, I tried KI 2ce for about 10 min, KI2 1ce for 1 min, battle todes arcade 1ce for 1 min and snes battle toads never. I did however spend over 3 hours on battle toads nes. That one brings back memories since I never had the quarters to play the arcade version. I never made it past level 2 that is like earthworm jims snot a problem level. Love that game.

  • @dariusq8894

    Couldn't wait so I went with the vanilla KI at launch. Based on the reviews of the Golden Tee 3D monitor that might have been the best choice. Upgrading controls, easy. Upgrading the monitor, not so much.

    Battletoads . For me that’s a top 3 beat em up that could have been it’s own cab
    And a toad is actually a playable character in k1 2013 . It think it’s Rash

    I was ready to make this my first Arcade1Up full arcade purchase, but that price point is absolutely ridiculous. $700 USD for this is way too much, especially since all these games are available for Rare Replay for about $10 used. I'm sticking with that and will see how the Pro cab looks but I don't have high hopes. This was a rock solid review though. Really in depth and you answered all my questions. Bravo, Burger Boy!

    Cool!
    But I don’t need something like this that makes me feel like I’m in the arcades, it’s awesome, but I have all of this
    KI Classic, KI2, OG Battletoads and Battletoads Arcade
    Got the OG KI Classic and KI2 during the heydays of KI 2013, and OG Battletoads and Battletoads Arcade I got through Rare Replay
    KI is one of the best fighting games out there and it deserves a whole lot of love, I do hope for the sequel for KI 2013
    Battletoads 2020 is a dumpster fire, that puts the entire Battletoads franchise into shame for its shitty graphics, lame jokes, and everything all of the above
