These are an absolute steal for $160. The amount of design, manufacturing, printing, assembly, and tooling that goes into making that thing look authentic is mind boggling. But to a person that just buys this stuff, that effort and cost would be lost on you.
Love the CRT overlay, wish it was applied to front so easily removable if wanted. These mini arcades are cool but makes me appreciate the design of my Coleco table tops from the 80’s regardless of the VFD display limitations
$160 is steep. But they do always run sales that make it reasonably priced. New wave is probably one of the better manufacturers of these little arcades. I do love my collection but running outta space quickly.
I think this type of thing only exists for the hardcore nostalgia fan, there is going to be someone that spent their quarters at say the bowling ally arcade or pizza place bank of 4 or so machines that would want one on a shelf for the feels.
I missed this one. :( But I have picked up Dragon’s Lair, Space Ace, Space Invaders and Ghosts n’ Goblins. The attention to detail on these 1/6 cabs is really incredible. We live in amazing times that we get to experience these shrunk down replicas, decades after they were originally released. As you say, they are not for everyone but they are a dream come true for the people who do appreciate them. Thanks for the unboxing Ron. 👍
Sadly NWT only releases a tiny amount of units before discontinuing them. These often bought NOT by gamers but toy collectors who turnaround and sell them for 5 times the amount. I saw a NWT Centipede unit on ebay $800.
Yep, capitalism at work. I am only willing to pay so much...I missed out on the first few Replicades. I would have loved to have centipede, tempest & Street Fighter II. Really sad about Street Fighter II, though. That one just changed the arcade game forever. I probably put more quarters into this game than any others. But I still have my heart in those classics Pacman, Mrs. Pacman, Galaga (numbskull quarter arcade), another company I just discovered. Really interest in the upcoming Space Invaders release, which is supposed to be in Nov 2023. I did not pre-order, just hoping to see a review and find it available after release at a reasonable price. As far as New Wave, I pre-order the Ghost N Goblins and the recently announced Berserk.
It's really cool (after you got the power pack back on), but far too expensive, at least for me, and Food Fight is one of my favorite games. I'll stick to the 7800 version.
There has been issues with quality control at nwt in the more recent cabinets. That's likely the cause of battery being loose because the box it was packaged in looked pristine and it would not look like that if ups mishandled it.
I used to unload for UPS , and let me tell you it’s never the drivers fault when the package is fkd. They do very little package handling . The loaders and the unloaders of the trailers are responsible for the condition of the packages . It’s all about speed
@@sandy60bollocks do you have any idea the craftsmanship that goes into these? These are as close to the real thing in the small form factor you are ever going to get. They are an engineering wonder and are very fun to play despite the small form factor
Food fight is a fun Atari arcade game, in fact it was the game I played the most on the Atari 50 game. 160 is pretty pricey, I’d have to have mad nostalgia to want to pay that much
My foodfight arrived in the exact same condition... the battery came disconnected during shipping. Was an easy fix just like you showed in the video but if it happened to you and me I'm sure it happened to a lot of them....
when you get the product in your hand you start to realize why it cost so much especially for the limited amount they make of them. And their stuff has been getting better.
I received mine the other day. love it because this was one of my favorites as a kid. I usually only spend on this kind of thing when it has meaning to me. Unfortunately my screen came a little scratched from the factory. Waiting to see if they can do anything for me.
I suppose if it was my favorite arcade game for which I had a lot of nostalgia and I didn’t have the money and/or room for the real thing, it could be worth it. But plenty of people have more money than they know what do with and won’t think twice about spending that much if it makes them happy.
@@sandy60 You are wrong, and as a matter of fact; most of the units that they produce increase in value dramatically once they stop making them. They are surely worth $160... Not every gamer cares solely about quantity . This is quality... there is a big difference. Perhaps some day you will realize that it is not all about pirating games on a raspberry pi for as little investment as possible..
I got mine and love it. It’s a gorgeous machine. Also, might be the first arcade game to do instant replays. Happy I got it. It’s kinda like Robotron 2084 but different. :)
@@sandy60 Its for collectors that value the artistic value of having something so close to the original. Unfortunately the current generation does not value the effort put into this by the maker. It is surely worth more than $25. They are meant for collecting, and for display, although I am pretty sure that they can be connected to a TV, and you can use other controllers if you would like to. Stop being haters, and appreciate the effort here to make quality products. this is not for the person that buys a raspberry Pi and just pirates all of the software. It is for the real fan that appreciates the efforts of the creators.
Man, I think that's a great deal. Think about how much a bare Raspberry Pi costs and then consider everything that's included in this, the attention to detail, etc. Also, I love the fake gum!
These things are kinda neat, but I wouldn't want one. If I really wanted to play the game, there are better ways to do that. This is a nice display piece for your shelf.
Nope 👎 if I wanted some nostalgia… I would rather break out my og Atari and play the game… not to mention you had to disassemble and reassemble… to fix it… I know that’s not going to be the case on all them… but that should not to be a issue to start with…. To small for me I like not having cramped fingers 😁
When asking if it's worth $160 consider what price it would need to be for a generic Chinese knock-off version. Could they ship something of the exact same quality and with the same attention to detail for $99? That could be difficult and the quality might suffer. So maybe try arguing the price could possibly be $120... but then the company wouldn't be making much profit from the product. It's not a mass market product so they can't rely on economy of scale, they have to find some way to profit enough to make limited run releases like this.

Anything from NWT is worth the money they ask imo. The quality and attention to detail is first class.

I wish arcade 1up would use that simulated CRT look for their cabs. It actually looks kinda decent.
Agree it does have that feeling
I don't know if the CRT FX filter would work as well on a larger screen, but it would be cool if it did.
Love the CRT overlay, wish it was applied to front so easily removable if wanted. These mini arcades are cool but makes me appreciate the design of my Coleco table tops from the 80’s regardless of the VFD display limitations
I really loved this one from the past. I remember the Cheese Steak shop down the road from me had this and Zookeeper.
Keep your eyes on Numskull then as ZooKeeper has been floated by them.

Looking forward to Numskulls TMNT

I’ve had the same thing happen twice where my package was delivered with what were obviously boot prints on the dented in sides.
wish a company would come out with a small scale tapper arcade would love that

Can you plug an arcade stick into one of those USB ports??
Looks good, thanks.

Ron like to see you build a arcade1up size Food Fight. Would be cool to watch and then you'd have your own personalized cabinet.🙂
one of my all time favorite games, so simple yet so fun and the controls are spot on…I’d prefer a countercade size one tho
My banana has been floppy for years, you learn to live with it

They all look great but pricey in today's times. Collector's only toys.
Love the CRT Effect

I really wanted to order this…but in the end I passed…..kinda regret it but kinda don’t 🤷♂️
Good video! I always have liked Food Fight from Atari! Fun game! This is a nice looking unit!
This Original Food Fight Cabinet had a joystick that turned 360 degrees like Contra Arcade did.
Really? I don't remember that. What purpose did it serve?
it didn't run 360. It was a hall effect joystick. it had very precise controls.
Not to me. I prefer games that don't make my hands cramp up just by looking at them.
Plus it's crap not worth even $25
Definitely a button pushing game.
@@sandy60 have you touched one? Do you know what the BOM looks like? No? Stfu.
You can buy a game pad to play it.

I believe that you can plug in USB controllers and play it on a big screen.
Same thing with the battery happened with my dragons lair.
My foodfight arrived in the exact same condition... the battery came disconnected during shipping. Was an easy fix just like you showed in the video but if it happened to you and me I'm sure it happened to a lot of them....
I had food fight on the 7800 and was my favorite game. Wish those were cheaper :(
Great video review
Was really hoping you'd stick a gum wad under the control panel.
New wave products are super premium looking.. idk if its worth that proce though but damn their stuff are amazing looking

I was supposed to get one of these for Christmas but santas little helper elf stole it from me.
Haha I never thought of that.....you said it has chefs coming outta the sewers
I think the only thing more shocking than them charging $160 for it is that there are people willing to buy it for $160.
Not even worth $25

@Sandy what proof do you have? Oh right. YOU DONT HAVE ANY PROOF.
They forgot to add the cigarette burns and smell on the arcade

Food Fight? So it works with a Pie?
It's like double now on average. So yeah, it's worth it.

I love this game. But I don't have the money to get it.
I got one, my first, and it's fine to have, but I'll not buy another one of these.
Nice!
$160!?!?!
Not worth my opinion because the arcade1up counter cades can be purchased for just a little more. Way overpriced for the asking price....
Not for $160; for like $30 then yes.
👍👍

its $130 too expensive
