@@JoseOrtiz-pp1vm both the DK and DK jr in the background are 1-1 scale replicas of an original cab, but they have real arcade hardware in them , no emulation.
Wow. They were sitting in a perfect position to take a big chunk of the market then went hog wild with the prices. I'd say ludicrous but then Ludicrous might show up.
Love Rexer, he is in the top 10 atgames channels, but number 1 A1up channel no doubt. As usual the pricing is tbd. A few things, you said HD, its 4K, the BitLCD not the BitLED, that's quite an upgrade to have included. Then throw in the Rockchip 3588 with 64GB storage and 8GB of Ram. Now on pricing, its going to be a higher MSRP, discounted at launch and discounted throughout its lifecycke... Everyone once they see BitLCD are blown away, its def worth getting. People would be smart to have an ALP 4KP and ALU 4K and not a room full of A1ups! Not a fool to buy at launch if its discounted as was the ALP 4KP, but my regular ALU's are still kicking and they are still making the ALU HD which is fantastic.
@therexershow The 4k UI is claimed to be nicer and more smooth than CoinOps and OneSauce, which after all are just MAME with a pretty frontend. Maybe they've just given up on reliably pushing firmware updates that don's break CoinOps, so decided 'Screw it, we'll make a better UI than CoinOps or OneSauce, and the problem will finally go away'. We'll see how it works out. By the way, for it's features and added size and polish, at 1,200 dollars the ALU 4k actually seems to my uneducated eye to compare favorably in price next to Rec Room Master's cabinets( the closest comparable products that I could find), which are sold without monitors, and you also provide the computer, pi, etc that serve as the 'brains' that the cabinets are designed to easily plug into( never mind the cost of buying a bitpixel marquee seperately). Those start at a grand a piece. Unico's offering isn't as easy to mod, and other offering hitting the market next year, such as the polycade, double the price of 4k. So whether or not there's some profit taking on the part of AtGames, and assuming the parts are at least good quality out of the box, the 4k _does_ seem competitively priced for the market.
@therexershow yeah flyers are watchable again it's been a rough few years not used to that always been good since I started and I am 50 was at the center when wings took 2 from us in 97 home ice did crap for us lol
I actually think the color design is pretty cool...$1300 compared to the previous at games is actually not bad when you compare it to an actual arcade cabinet with 1 game... if you were to upgrade the previous at games legend cabinet consider how much a 23 inch 4k monitor would be, plus the controller with roller ball, rotary controller, and pinball button, plus the LCD markee, and a 1 year warranty and you would spend more than $1300 (I didn't mention the PC upgrade to play games in 4k and you'll be approaching $2k instead)...so all in all, it's actually quite a deal... it's all about your perspective.
Nobody thinks this is a “deal”. But go for it and spend the $1300 for it. If you enjoy 4k Pac-Man and KI on a 27 inch screen, go for it. I’ll pay $500 for a 1080 screen with 300 games , or build a DIY kit for half the price with thousands of games
@@therexershow compared to an actual arcade cabinet with 1 game. IT IS. It's a good thing they still sell the 1080p version then, for people like you... it's the same reason why they have 2 versions of xboxes, and ps5's...so people can have options. Same goes for cars, TV's, phones, PC's and just about every consumer product out there.🙄
@@therexershow some people do actually just cause they like that small look and it would be a lot more expensive to get the real thing. but I'm not comparing this to 1up arcade toys. I'm comparing this to actual arcade machines.
@@lexlopez15 I’ve never paid more than $500 for any of my arcades. Even my GT 2016. Lol. And with a real arcade , you actually have a piece of history , an antique , something to be proud of. Or you can have these particle board take arcades. I’ll take the real thing with one game.
Nope. And think about this 1080p is perfectly fine for a 27 inch tv. Do I really care about 4k Pac-Man on a 27 inch tv ? Or 4k street fighter or every KI for that matter.
Thanks for sharing the specs of the CPU as well. Looks like they put some power inside of it at least for the price. It's on par with the new raspberry pi 5.
I don't understand why 4K is needed in a retro multicade. None of those games are in 4K. Also, either make it a game title design or a multicade design, not both. It looks terrible. Hard Pass on this, but I did pre-order the AFM 4k Pinball. They rocked that!
In my experience games are way more important than upgraded screens. I paid $300 for my ALU…. You’re knocking 100 games off, and killing coin Ops, and expecting me to pay $1000 more PLUS SHIPPING! There is no way in heck I’m buying this. Who needs 4k battlestoads???
I'm building my own mame with a donated pc and a free operation wolf cab. It has every game from atari 2600 to original xbox and Nintendo wii. Over 10k games. 1300? Good luck with that.
Rexer, I think when these go up for pre-order, the get in early price will be around $999 plus shipping. And, of course, at that price, quality-wise, it certainly trumps Arcade1Up's Pro Edition of Killer Instinct :) But I am happy you mentioned one thing. There will be multiple skin options of this cabinet. I think I'll hold out for a Wacko variant with the classic lopsided cabinet design :D I have to say, I LOVE monitor marquees. In fact, my 3/4 Donkey Kong machine has one in it. The add on cost me an extra $99. And sure, it's smaller than the one in the new Legends 4K, but at least I was able to get that tech into my home arcade. Now, I think instead of pre-ordering one of these new AtGames bad boys, I think I'll go watch Rexer's Shill Soda video again :) Have a great one! vgv
I think then dynamic marquee is cool, but I want them to offer as an option. It’s expensive and I’m sure adding a big cost to the product. I’m wondering what discounts will be offered at preorder because they are going to get hate for this price.
Rexer, I agree, just like AtGames did with their 4KP Pinball with the SSF Kit, it would be VERY NICE if they could make a skew without the monitor marquee. That would take $349 off the top if we're talking what AtGames charges for the accessory. That would get this new machine under a grand and I think more people excited. Just like when I purchased my Donkey Kong 3/4 scale, it came with a standard lightup marquee. The monitor marquee was an option and since it was for a much lower and reasonable price, I picked it up. Yeah, I think offering a standard bare bones cab with additional options available, both pre or post installed, would be the way to go. vgv
You're entitled to your opinion. I'm a stickler for quality and for the money you can't get better quality for the money. Especially when trying to compare to the garbage Arcade 1up sells. The 4K pinball is hands down better than anything else out there for the money.
Fair enough. The ALU Hd upright is pretty good for the money. But this thing for $1200’is not. The ALP4k pin is doable now after the fix , but still is not anywhere near 4k and just seems like false advertising .
“Rexer you had me at $1300” You could have ended the stream right there because unless they included a hot blonde in the cab to pleasure me I’m not paying $1300. I’m still waiting for them to kill off BYOG and make the one I have useless. I sold my BitLcD after waiting for just the marquees for the included games! Finally they out did 1up in the ugly dept: “it’s a one eyed one horn schilly purple people eater”. Even the girl bidding on Card Sharks doesn’t want to win!
@@MichaelSmith-fd9ec I’m with you on everything. I did the bYoG stuff before when I had the Atgames board and I hated the way it worked and the way you had to load game and all the BS. Coin ops was the way to go and now gone. And yup , “one eyed one horned flying purple people eater”.
Major deflation is inbound next year. They want to lock in these inflated prices before it hits. Cab is butt ugly imho. I Would rather have a rec room masters blank and custom skin it.
I’ll wait until someone finds a backdoor way to install coinops again and then hopefully there will be some good alternative panel art vinyl stickers to put on instead of KI.
I like the new shape. But I'm a clearance whore... that's the only time to buy them. I paid $300 for my ALU new from Sam's. This thing ain't $1000 better. Than what I already have.
It is my understanding the BYoG tool add on x will still be available. I do not like that tool though because emulators are limited and the process for adding games sucks.
If this was their first buy; people may have bought it , but you can’t come out with a $499 ALu and then come out with a 1300$ ALU , and expect people to think it’s a fair price.
I know I'm biased towards REC ROOM MASTERS, but putting that aside, someone would be insane to buy this atgames cabinet over a brand new Rec Room Masters Cabinet for cheaper!! I dont think you should even do any videos on this rexer. I got my rec room masters cabinet, Arcade-One build, pixlecade marquee, two sinden light guns, g29 racing setup, and I get new game updates and software updates almost daily. It says alot the fact that I have bought a machine and not only have kept it, but I continue to love it. Sorry guys , had to plug my machine. Especially when atgames is charging more money then better machines
As a fan of KI, the $1,300 price point is definitely a deal breaker for me. Heck I even waited till the A1up version was on sale on Black Friday when I finally ordered it. I'm not even a fan of the cabinet design for this either. Also, for $1,300, I might as well try to get the actual arcade board instead.
They will sell about 10 of these at that price. They want to bundle the marquee so they can get the highest margin. They'll get to stop offering them at a discount for NOD.
At games really selling that 4k branding. Both 4k offerings almost double the hd offerings. No thanks. Unless you're playing otg steam games, you don't need 4k. i agree, the lcd should have been an option, but they are going to use it to justify the increase.
And that’s what will happen. They literally love the fact that we are paused abkut $1300 because when the do a $200 off preorder , they’ll be like “this isn’t so bad”.
"4K is useless for that size screen" Not necessarily. Just look at what the RetroTink 4K is able to do with that extra resolution that was not possible before. I'm not saying this arcade will be doing that level of stuff, just addressing the statement of 4K on a screen size like this.
I am done with Atgames, they abandoned ALP for the 4k, I am not buying another machine for the new zen tables. Now this machine with ridiculous pricing, 4k doesn’t mean to jack up the price to more than double. I am done with them and will go with unico + mister
I'd buy a dedicated Defender cab over this. They missed on the form factor again, better than before but it still doesn't work for me. At this price I better be able to drive it to work and back.
Bet the shipping will be $100. So, $1400 total is what to expect. I'll stick with my MVSX that I paid $750 for and my Legends Pinball 4K. I'm good with those two. $1400 is a hard sell for this, unless the game list is mind-blowing.
What the exact question. ? I believe you can still use their crappy add on tool for more games with any firmware. But if you want coin ops , you can’t update .
@@therexershow I goes the question is can I attach for example a raspberry pi to play all retro games? I don’t own this unit, and from what I hear if I were to buy one it will automatically come with that update that you can’t put coins ops, another question is can you go back to a previous version even if you buy it with the 5.70 update already on it??
Majority will play in 4k , but what does it matter. You’re not playing Fortnite and modern games , on a large screen , where you’ll see the difference.
@@therexershow To add to show how bad AC1up is currently in, if you missed it. The Street Fighter deluxe is 299 from Direct from 1up. or from Walmart etc. Ironic how they (john D) said years ago those days were gone long long ago....
that chip is extremely overkill for killer instinct. u can run ki on a $35 single board computer called atomic pi. interesting to see what emulator they use obviously making there own. which ki are they running? arcade ki doesnt run in 4k lol
So you got 350 games with the original ALU. Then you got 300 with the (upgraded) ALU. And now 200 with the 4k ALU for 3 times the price. Do you at least get a kiss? My goodness this is as bad as the amount of tables you get on the bloody 4k pinball machine and you're paying double the price for it. Make that 3 times the price if you purchased purchased it in wave one. I believe you got 22 tables on the original pinball and now you 15 I think. Atgames you are bending your customers over. This is something you don't give a go at first. You wait for the sales that will come in the future in my humble opinion that is.
Wait, what? They are forcing you to update firmware, even if using OTG- so an always online requirment? F that if correct. They could easily mess OTG up if correct. My point in the other post makes buying one of these even less compelling, if they force you to be online when using OTG.
In order to use any of the "new features" or "new games" you will need to update your firmware. So that will mean Leaderboards, arcadenet, play the new KI games, etc. OTG should work without updating, but your unit is going to come loaded wiht the most updated firmware.
1,300 just to play a old game are they out of their minds.............i love retro games but come on who in their right mind would pay that much just to relive their past give me a break!!!!
I prefer the generic versions with different art. Same for the ALP that I own, but mainly use with the PC via OTG. Not purchased the ALP4K yet and will not buy this. This price is too much, since unlike the pinball cab that's harder to make one, near $1,400- It is way less of a gap to buy an arcade cab kit and use a mini PC for WAY better performance.
AtGames have just committed professional suicide. That price, even though you get a 3" wider monitor, is not worth the price. AND you get an hundred fewer games! What the heck? I'll bet you can't even run Coinops, or One Sauce. Nope. Not bringing that price monster into my arcade. At that price, it should have an 8 core CPU, halt TB SSD, and at least a high end GTX, or low end RTX GPU! LOL Thanks for the video.
Man I’m not going to lie… I want this. I plan on buying it. I’ve had my legends cab for awhile now. I play it a ton. But a bit more powerful chip. Idk why they shoved a 4k screen in it. Does it have 1ms response???? That could justify for me.. again 1ms 4k display with better hardware. But I’d want usb cables for the controls to external sources. I shouldn’t have to splice cables to skip blue tooth to an external source. Hope I made sense.
Yep the shills are already shilling. At the end of day they defend any of these price points. They probably get theres for free any way. To me AtGames will always be the company that made shitty clone consoles people would pick up on impulse at Walgreens or the like.
If it hits Costco at 1k or so that could be a decent deal. Guess we have hit the surplus cap 🧢. So many guys are used to buying T arcade 1 ups for 300-600. This is an eye opener , much better product but yeah.
The artwork kinda looked similar to NFL Blitz Arcade1up cab: The colors and the lightnings. I don't prefer 8 buttons control deck. It may be useful for playing higher-end games such as Mortal Kombat 9-1, Cuphead, and Injustice series. I know it's a pain in a ass to configure it on a 6 button controls. I preferred 6 button controls because it's more easy to use, and usually many fighting games require 6 buttons only. I wouldn't buy that for $1300. I'm happy with my 2nd ALU model. I hardly play any games that was built-in. I only played the pinball games only, but I usually used to connect my PC with it to play Steam, Retroarch, Dolphin and TeknoParrot. I don't like Coinops and Sauce due to emulation issues.
All fair comments. Surprised that you use steam and such but don’t prefer the 8 button layout. I have a figjtstick I use so I don’t prefer it on an arcade. There were zero arcades that ever used a 8 button layout.
@@therexershow The original Killer Instinct games doesn't need 8 buttons. Well you can use the 2 extra buttons for KI 2013 game where you can input one button LP+MP+HP and one button LK+MK+HP. But, you don't really need it. I did heard people had a difficult time remapping the buttons for games like Mortal Kombat 9-1 on Steam. You can shortcut the inputs such as 2 buttons is throw and 2 buttons is flip stance. That's how I play it on a 6 buttons control deck.
Even if you can get past the price (most won’t), it’s crazy ugly. And that digital marquee - by far its coolest feature - feels less purposeful when the entire cab is covered in KI art.
If you love the real arcades the purple may turn you off, I would rather build my own making it as original to the real cab as possible. That's just me as I just can't veer away from the real deal.
I'll go out on a limb and say that literally ZERO other RUclipsrs will make any attempt at all to justify that price tag. Perhaps I'm wrong, but even the shilliest of shills won't be able to justify $1,299.
I don’t watch their videos so I can’t say as to what they say. But I know they will be careful as to not piss off PK the owner and possibly be thrown out of the influencer group. Also, because I got “ahead of this “ , they couldn’t set the narrative and try to down play it. When the “preorder discounts come out , they will be like “well this is good they are giving us 200$ off for preordering”.
I don't see the value. I can already play Killer Instinct with CoinOpsX and thousands of other games on the Legends Ultimate and it plays fine and didn't cost me a penny. All of these games are old, well before High Def (let alone 4K) so the games are not going to be in any higher resolution with a 4K monitor for the same reason the old arcade games don't come in HD with an HD monitor of the original.
I kind of like and dont like the design its hard to say. I'm actually leaning more torwards rhe UNICO candy cab. Killer instinct pinball im all for that
Folks are stuck with a locked $200 dollar deposit on an Adams pin they fomod into that many dont even want anymore. You guys really want to lock up another deposit? 😆 🤣 😂
I won't be buying this. Not because it's bad. It seem like it has some good improvements over the 1up. But I have more fun making my own cabs. Even if they are not perfect. Or if I happen to find a steal on my dream cab(original). I will buy that.
After destroying 1Up with unnecessary crap that has noting to do with games or hardware, now they spread to atGames like a Cancer. btw; atGames!!.. if you think that for $1200/1400 piece of cardboard for which I'm gonna need to buy a riser for separately and NO CoinOpsX, makes sense over a Nova Blast aluminum + it's resale value... then You Have Lost Your Goddamn Mind!.. or.. I can buy a PSVR2, a PS5 and still have enough left for a few games... or.. a brand new gaming PC and a 4K monitor. atGames, what drugs are you on?....
You’re no better than the shills you’re just playing the opposite side of the coin as Mr. Doom and Gloom. An honest review would mention that AtGames frequently has deep discounts on their products. MSRP may be $1,300 but these will probably regularly sell around $999. This places the 4K at the same price point as the Arcade1Up Pro series. Slam AtGames for using the same crappy sales tactics as Bed Bath and Beyond or Kohls where they jack up the retail price so the sales price is what the fair market value is.
Uhhh. I said that , wtf are you talking about. I said they always go on sale and don’t pay MSRP. I’m sure they will have a preorder price , but that’s how they F you over. You don’t see what you’re really getting , you take a risk , and give them your money early. It always goes on sale at Sams Club and everywhere.
@@therexershow brother, I actually like the cab, no doubt it's got some personality. But goddamn that deck looks like vomit thrown against a wall. Somebody needs to tell them that. Change the deck some way some how
I can see people liking the design. I wouldn’t judge them for it. I don’t but it’s not horrible . What’s funny is all the same shills before said how much they love 1up for having cab accurate designs , then Atgames comes out with this and they all love it.
Great video and you’re right…rip off. Anything under 32” 4k is a waste. Artwork is hideous and why did they go away from original artwork. Keep it real rexer…
Thanks Kidd , do you really need to play SF and Ki in 4k on a 27 inch screen ? 1080 isn’t good enough ? I’m not playing pub G on a widescreen 3 montior setup and sniping people from 300 yards away. Dumb upgrade imo.
It’s ver bad art. Looks like some two color default gradient layer I could do and then add some characters . They just need to make it look more like originals.
Hi rexer great video to me the arcade is ugly art and shape and also I own the mini ultimate the wood quality is worse than 1 up the price is way over priced I am guessing if you want to buy ki game on the e shop it won’t be compatible with are older models unless we buy 4K models my only guess is that they have big license arcade games coming out in order to demand a heavy price increase I wonder if any of the at games influencers know about that rexer merry Christmas happy new year to you and your family
Merry Christmas GG! I would hope if they have any bee licenses , they would announce them soon if they want people to buy. The KI doesn’t work with original ALU. Just another shaft to the OG owners. But I think the OG owners have the last laugh. We will see on the discounts.
The content is good but you pontificate a bit much. $1300 is alot of money, But this isn't trying to be an arcade1up bargain machine. Rather than the "I'm more honest than influencer X" spiel, explain why it costs that much, and let the viewer decide, and give your opinion. For those that care, It's a 27 Inch 4K Screen, which I would argue makes up the majority of that cost. 2nd, is the CPU and innards of the machine. which are upgrading over the previous model, with 4 times the storage capacity. The Screen is also 3 times bigger. The Marquee up top is also an fully customizable LCD. (which was a 350 upgrade, to buy and add on to the previous model), So if we're comparing, the ALU HD, normally goes for 600 when it's not on sale. the LCD marquee addition goes for another 350 when that's not on sale. So, the previous model of similar features would run you 950, Though for 800 now, I think you could get the whole set up before shipping on their site. So what are you getting for the extra 300? A 3 inch larger screen with 4 times the resolution. A system with 4 times the storage capacity, and a processor with better performance. Why WOULD somebody want or care about those upgrades? If all you're going to do is retro game, all of that means nothing to you aside from the storage. however, the ATGAMES software allows you hook up via passthrough HDMI or stream though steam link, your modern gaming library. So this not only allows you to play the 200 games on it, which include the Marquis title, KI1, KI2, Battletoads, ETC, along with pinball games. But you can also run your steam library, or hook whatever console you want to you, OR plug in a flash drive with Coin ops, and build your own library. 1300 is the bottom end of what you would pay any other similar cabinet right now, whether it's Game Room Solutions, RecRoom Masters, or going DIY with the Unico, and even those have their draw backs, such as DIY, where is this ready due 90% of what it's capable of out of the box.
Do you watch channels like mike B and Pdubs and console kits ? You think i pontificate ? These guys take a 1 sentence News fact and spent an hour on a stream going over it and acting like they are the arcade experts. Lol. And did you even watch the video ? I showed all the changes and all the specs changes. And a 3 inch increase monitor that’s 4k isn’t why it costs $700 more. The bit lcd is the main reason but it seems like you didn’t watch. As for talking about the “influencers group” , it’s the law that they all divulge they are in the group, but they Almost Never do , so it’s important that people and community know that they have bias on the product. Why do you think it’s law ? You should be thanking me for letting you know so when you see mike B saying how awesome it is, and how the price is fair , you know he is bought and paid for. You’re welcome.

I actually think the color design is pretty cool...$1300 compared to the previous at games is actually not bad when you compare it to an actual arcade cabinet with 1 game...
if you were to upgrade the previous at games legend cabinet consider how much a 23 inch 4k monitor would be, plus the controller with roller ball, rotary controller, and pinball button, plus the LCD markee, and a 1 year warranty and you would spend more than $1300 (I didn't mention the PC upgrade to play games in 4k and you'll be approaching $2k instead)...so all in all, it's actually quite a deal... it's all about your perspective.
Nobody thinks this is a “deal”. But go for it and spend the $1300 for it. If you enjoy 4k Pac-Man and KI on a 27 inch screen, go for it. I’ll pay $500 for a 1080 screen with 300 games , or build a DIY kit for half the price with thousands of games
@@therexershow compared to an actual arcade cabinet with 1 game. IT IS. It's a good thing they still sell the 1080p version then, for people like you... it's the same reason why they have 2 versions of xboxes, and ps5's...so people can have options. Same goes for cars, TV's, phones, PC's and just about every consumer product out there.🙄
@@lexlopez15 well we would never pay $800 for time crisis or T2 Arcade 1ups. So don’t disagree there.
@@therexershow some people do actually just cause they like that small look and it would be a lot more expensive to get the real thing. but I'm not comparing this to 1up arcade toys. I'm comparing this to actual arcade machines.
@@lexlopez15 I’ve never paid more than $500 for any of my arcades. Even my GT 2016. Lol.
And with a real arcade , you actually have a piece of history , an antique , something to be proud of. Or you can have these particle board take arcades. I’ll take the real thing with one game.
No 80s or 90s arcade games were 4k.
Nope. And think about this 1080p is perfectly fine for a 27 inch tv. Do I really care about 4k Pac-Man on a 27 inch tv ? Or 4k street fighter or every KI for that matter.
I can play them on my 4k 75 inche tv .
👍
Thanks for sharing the specs of the CPU as well. Looks like they put some power inside of it at least for the price. It's on par with the new raspberry pi 5.
I don't understand why 4K is needed in a retro multicade. None of those games are in 4K. Also, either make it a game title design or a multicade design, not both. It looks terrible. Hard Pass on this, but I did pre-order the AFM 4k Pinball. They rocked that!
4k is completely unnecessary for retro arcade games.
At games are out to lunch with this price. I dont understand these prices.
I thought it was a joke. Honestly.
Speak the truth!
In my experience games are way more important than upgraded screens. I paid $300 for my ALU…. You’re knocking 100 games off, and killing coin Ops, and expecting me to pay $1000 more PLUS SHIPPING! There is no way in heck I’m buying this. Who needs 4k battlestoads???
I'm building my own mame with a donated pc and a free operation wolf cab. It has every game from atari 2600 to original xbox and Nintendo wii. Over 10k games. 1300? Good luck with that.
😂😂😂
Rexer,
I think when these go up for pre-order, the get in early price will be around $999 plus shipping. And, of course, at that price, quality-wise, it certainly trumps Arcade1Up's Pro Edition of Killer Instinct :) But I am happy you mentioned one thing. There will be multiple skin options of this cabinet. I think I'll hold out for a Wacko variant with the classic lopsided cabinet design :D
I have to say, I LOVE monitor marquees. In fact, my 3/4 Donkey Kong machine has one in it. The add on cost me an extra $99. And sure, it's smaller than the one in the new Legends 4K, but at least I was able to get that tech into my home arcade.
Now, I think instead of pre-ordering one of these new AtGames bad boys, I think I'll go watch Rexer's Shill Soda video again :) Have a great one!
vgv
I think then dynamic marquee is cool, but I want them to offer as an option. It’s expensive and I’m sure adding a big cost to the product. I’m wondering what discounts will be offered at preorder because they are going to get hate for this price.
Rexer,
I agree, just like AtGames did with their 4KP Pinball with the SSF Kit, it would be VERY NICE if they could make a skew without the monitor marquee. That would take $349 off the top if we're talking what AtGames charges for the accessory. That would get this new machine under a grand and I think more people excited.
Just like when I purchased my Donkey Kong 3/4 scale, it came with a standard lightup marquee. The monitor marquee was an option and since it was for a much lower and reasonable price, I picked it up.
Yeah, I think offering a standard bare bones cab with additional options available, both pre or post installed, would be the way to go.
vgv
Nope…Pk still don,t understand nostalgia. It looks like those IKEA cabs.
i honestly don't understand why they just didn't make it look like a real KI , choose KI or KI2. Either one would be better than this mess of purple.
You're entitled to your opinion. I'm a stickler for quality and for the money you can't get better quality for the money. Especially when trying to compare to the garbage Arcade 1up sells. The 4K pinball is hands down better than anything else out there for the money.
Fair enough. The ALU Hd upright is pretty good for the money. But this thing for $1200’is not. The ALP4k pin is doable now after the fix , but still is not anywhere near 4k and just seems like false advertising .
$1,300...yikes!! So much for catering to the average home arcade buyer.
Anything over $1000 is way too much.
I am happy with the A1Up KI I got for 150 on sale (17 in screen)
Price is everything. And when those KI went on firesale, it was a good deal.
Good stuff as always. 👍
really not too much to say about this. You can watch hours upon hours of streams, or just 1 ten minute video and be done.
“Rexer you had me at $1300” You could have ended the stream right there because unless they included a hot blonde in the cab to pleasure me I’m not paying $1300. I’m still waiting for them to kill off BYOG and make the one I have useless. I sold my BitLcD after waiting for just the marquees for the included games! Finally they out did 1up in the ugly dept: “it’s a one eyed one horn schilly purple people eater”. Even the girl bidding on Card Sharks doesn’t want to win!
@@MichaelSmith-fd9ec I’m with you on everything. I did the bYoG stuff before when I had the Atgames board and I hated the way it worked and the way you had to load game and all the BS. Coin ops was the way to go and now gone. And yup , “one eyed one horned flying purple people eater”.
Outside of America the HD model wasn't much cheaper. God knows how much this would be to import
This over 1k price model is insane to me. I am good at this point. Will just play KI on Xbox.
Yeah. These things aren’t worth it any more. I bet they give a $200 discount to preorders. But still way too much.
@@therexershow they should do free shipping. $200 discount for preorder and then $300 shipping lmao
Major deflation is inbound next year. They want to lock in these inflated prices before it hits. Cab is butt ugly imho. I Would rather have a rec room masters blank and custom skin it.
Yup. I think it’s ugly too. Just not a fan. So much other stuff to buy at $1400 or so. They are insane.
Is this still coming out haven't seen news in months about it .
Haven’t seen anything on it. It’s Atgames. It wouldn’t be the first time they said something was coming and it didn’t come out.
I’ll wait until someone finds a backdoor way to install coinops again and then hopefully there will be some good alternative panel art vinyl stickers to put on instead of KI.
I like the new shape. But I'm a clearance whore... that's the only time to buy them. I paid $300 for my ALU new from Sam's. This thing ain't $1000 better. Than what I already have.
8:07 will add on x still work ?
It is my understanding the BYoG tool add on x will still be available. I do not like that tool though because emulators are limited and the process for adding games sucks.
Let’s put it this way, a couple years ago I guarantee quite a few people would pay that price but they missed the mark, a majority of people are broke
If this was their first buy; people may have bought it , but you can’t come out with a $499 ALu and then come out with a 1300$ ALU , and expect people to think it’s a fair price.
@@therexershow True, honestly it looks like they took notes from arcade 1up 😆
I know I'm biased towards REC ROOM MASTERS, but putting that aside, someone would be insane to buy this atgames cabinet over a brand new Rec Room Masters Cabinet for cheaper!!
I dont think you should even do any videos on this rexer. I got my rec room masters cabinet, Arcade-One build, pixlecade marquee, two sinden light guns, g29 racing setup, and I get new game updates and software updates almost daily. It says alot the fact that I have bought a machine and not only have kept it, but I continue to love it. Sorry guys , had to plug my machine. Especially when atgames is charging more money then better machines
No sane person can argue against you. Plug away.
As a fan of KI, the $1,300 price point is definitely a deal breaker for me. Heck I even waited till the A1up version was on sale on Black Friday when I finally ordered it. I'm not even a fan of the cabinet design for this either.
Also, for $1,300, I might as well try to get the actual arcade board instead.
Yup. Definitely not worth it.
Why did this need to be in 4K? Are any of the games 4K?
The majority will be in 4k , but if Pac-Man is worth $1300 to run in 4k instead of 1080, then go for it.
I can buy a custom cabinet for that.
Yup. And get everything you want.
That price is crazy esp with no coinops. I am modding my iircade just fine, and will stick to that.
Crazy is one word for sure. Iircade modded will do just fine.
They will sell about 10 of these at that price. They want to bundle the marquee so they can get the highest margin. They'll get to stop offering them at a discount for NOD.
Carl O made that LCDBit easy to do
At games really selling that 4k branding. Both 4k offerings almost double the hd offerings. No thanks. Unless you're playing otg steam games, you don't need 4k. i agree, the lcd should have been an option, but they are going to use it to justify the increase.
I like the design better, not something I'm gonna run out and pre-order but it is improved so I'll give em that. But that price though...
Yikes on the price !!!
Are both updates and online mandatory? I have mine offline with addonx and I will not upgrade if I cant have it this way.
The firmware updates will be mandatory if you want to play the 4k games included as well as the pinball .
How do you take it offline?
@@cwescrab I think you have to go to wifi settings and turn it off , or remove your wifi password . Then skip if it asks. Not certain.
@@cwescrab I just erased my wifi password
$1300 is genius because we all will be running to buy it when goes on sale for $799 (4K is useless for that size screen)
And that’s what will happen. They literally love the fact that we are paused abkut $1300 because when the do a $200 off preorder , they’ll be like “this isn’t so bad”.
"4K is useless for that size screen"
Not necessarily. Just look at what the RetroTink 4K is able to do with that extra resolution that was not possible before. I'm not saying this arcade will be doing that level of stuff, just addressing the statement of 4K on a screen size like this.
that's a no no, you can buy the real arcade for that😂
you can buy a car for that! but yup, you could buy a real one. The Unico is looking even better at this point.
I am done with Atgames, they abandoned ALP for the 4k, I am not buying another machine for the new zen tables. Now this machine with ridiculous pricing, 4k doesn’t mean to jack up the price to more than double. I am done with them and will go with unico + mister
Good idea. They definitely put all their resources in the 4k and now ALP is left behind
Schilling lol love it 😮
I'd buy a dedicated Defender cab over this. They missed on the form factor again, better than before but it still doesn't work for me. At this price I better be able to drive it to work and back.
Yeah. Missed the mark on the art and the design.
Bet the shipping will be $100. So, $1400 total is what to expect. I'll stick with my MVSX that I paid $750 for and my Legends Pinball 4K. I'm good with those two. $1400 is a hard sell for this, unless the game list is mind-blowing.
Where the F is thing ? When was it even supposed to be launched. They announced this a long time ago.
Has anyone found a work around for the 5.70 update to add/play more retro games?
What the exact question. ? I believe you can still use their crappy add on tool for more games with any firmware. But if you want coin ops , you can’t update .
@@therexershow I goes the question is can I attach for example a raspberry pi to play all retro games? I don’t own this unit, and from what I hear if I were to buy one it will automatically come with that update that you can’t put coins ops, another question is can you go back to a previous version even if you buy it with the 5.70 update already on it??
@@bg4406 you can’t have coin ops , update will kill it. No going back and it will probably already come with the new firmware. Where is thing anyway ?
but why 4k what games on it will play in 4k
Majority will play in 4k , but what does it matter. You’re not playing Fortnite and modern games , on a large screen , where you’ll see the difference.
At 1300, Just pick up a Unico Nova Blast.......
Much better option at this price . They priced themselves out.
@@therexershow To add to show how bad AC1up is currently in, if you missed it. The Street Fighter deluxe is 299 from Direct from 1up. or from Walmart etc. Ironic how they (john D) said years ago those days were gone long long ago....
that chip is extremely overkill for killer instinct. u can run ki on a $35 single board computer called atomic pi. interesting to see what emulator they use obviously making there own. which ki are they running? arcade ki doesnt run in 4k lol
That’s interesting. If they can’t do 4k for KI that would be hilarious. I would assume they are starting with the same emulator 1up used.
@@therexershow if it’s the arcade rock it’s never 4k
Yeah! That’s a big nut. Ouch!! 999 max.. maybe. Even then you are in the ugh range.
Yup. Maybe 999 with free shipping. That’s it.
So you got 350 games with the original ALU. Then you got 300 with the (upgraded) ALU. And now 200 with the 4k ALU for 3 times the price. Do you at least get a kiss? My goodness this is as bad as the amount of tables you get on the bloody 4k pinball machine and you're paying double the price for it. Make that 3 times the price if you purchased purchased it in wave one. I believe you got 22 tables on the original pinball and now you 15 I think. Atgames you are bending your customers over. This is something you don't give a go at first. You wait for the sales that will come in the future in my humble opinion that is.
Lon, it will be $700 at Sams before you know it. But yeah , they are bending everyone over. Less games, pay for more games , etc.
Wait, what? They are forcing you to update firmware, even if using OTG- so an always online requirment? F that if correct. They could easily mess OTG up if correct. My point in the other post makes buying one of these even less compelling, if they force you to be online when using OTG.
In order to use any of the "new features" or "new games" you will need to update your firmware. So that will mean Leaderboards, arcadenet, play the new KI games, etc. OTG should work without updating, but your unit is going to come loaded wiht the most updated firmware.
1,300 just to play a old game are they out of their minds.............i love retro games but come on who in their right mind would pay that much just to relive their past give me a break!!!!
They will cut $200 off if you give them $1100 up front and wait 4 months for it 😂😂😂
No thank you At-Games, for a few hundred dollars more I can find an original cabinet. The purple color comes from the Xbox KI release.
I prefer the generic versions with different art. Same for the ALP that I own, but mainly use with the PC via OTG. Not purchased the ALP4K yet and will not buy this. This price is too much, since unlike the pinball cab that's harder to make one, near $1,400- It is way less of a gap to buy an arcade cab kit and use a mini PC for WAY better performance.
You are correct! I would spend the 1300 on the pinball before i spent 1300 on this thing.
I have the old one. I bought the gamer pro deck that has the 8 buttons and I use the steam deck works great
That’s all you need. No need to upgrade imo
AtGames have just committed professional suicide. That price, even though you get a 3" wider monitor, is not worth the price. AND you get an hundred fewer games! What the heck? I'll bet you can't even run Coinops, or One Sauce. Nope. Not bringing that price monster into my arcade. At that price, it should have an 8 core CPU, halt TB SSD, and at least a high end GTX, or low end RTX GPU! LOL Thanks for the video.
Man I’m not going to lie… I want this. I plan on buying it. I’ve had my legends cab for awhile now. I play it a ton. But a bit more powerful chip. Idk why they shoved a 4k screen in it. Does it have 1ms response???? That could justify for me.. again 1ms 4k display with better hardware. But I’d want usb cables for the controls to external sources. I shouldn’t have to splice cables to skip blue tooth to an external source. Hope I made sense.
I’m sure it will be discounted for preorder. Specs of montior will have to be found out after someone has the serial number.
I don't really like the look of that art.
i could see it being 799.99 or so.
799$ is a good price. I could even see $899. They will discount for preorders. But how much.
Sh@tGames loves purple. Look at their UI... it's purple tones too.
I don’t get it. Fugly cab. No thanks.
Sadly out of my price range but better value than A1up that's for sure!
They will knock a couple hundred off at preorder , but I’m thinking still too much.
4k will have coinops blocked... HD it is
Yes.
Yep the shills are already shilling. At the end of day they defend any of these price points. They probably get theres for free any way. To me AtGames will always be the company that made shitty clone consoles people would pick up on impulse at Walgreens or the like.
People slowly forgot about those crappy things they made. But yes , I’ll always think of those when I hear about Atgames.
If it hits Costco at 1k or so that could be a decent deal. Guess we have hit the surplus cap 🧢. So many guys are used to buying T arcade 1 ups for 300-600. This is an eye opener , much better product but yeah.
They gotta stay under $1000.
The artwork kinda looked similar to NFL Blitz Arcade1up cab: The colors and the lightnings. I don't prefer 8 buttons control deck. It may be useful for playing higher-end games such as Mortal Kombat 9-1, Cuphead, and Injustice series. I know it's a pain in a ass to configure it on a 6 button controls. I preferred 6 button controls because it's more easy to use, and usually many fighting games require 6 buttons only. I wouldn't buy that for $1300. I'm happy with my 2nd ALU model. I hardly play any games that was built-in. I only played the pinball games only, but I usually used to connect my PC with it to play Steam, Retroarch, Dolphin and TeknoParrot. I don't like Coinops and Sauce due to emulation issues.
All fair comments. Surprised that you use steam and such but don’t prefer the 8 button layout. I have a figjtstick I use so I don’t prefer it on an arcade. There were zero arcades that ever used a 8 button layout.
@@therexershow The original Killer Instinct games doesn't need 8 buttons. Well you can use the 2 extra buttons for KI 2013 game where you can input one button LP+MP+HP and one button LK+MK+HP. But, you don't really need it. I did heard people had a difficult time remapping the buttons for games like Mortal Kombat 9-1 on Steam. You can shortcut the inputs such as 2 buttons is throw and 2 buttons is flip stance. That's how I play it on a 6 buttons control deck.
Get one for the price of three.......with less options..........yay, can´t wait........
you got it brother!!!
UNAUTHORIZED LEAK DETECTED
CALL THE AUTHORITIES !! or better yet Call the atgames shill police. They’ve already attacked me.
Even if you can get past the price (most won’t), it’s crazy ugly. And that digital marquee - by far its coolest feature - feels less purposeful when the entire cab is covered in KI art.
Exactly.
If you love the real arcades the purple may turn you off, I would rather build my own making it as original to the real cab as possible. That's just me as I just can't veer away from the real deal.
I'll go out on a limb and say that literally ZERO other RUclipsrs will make any attempt at all to justify that price tag. Perhaps I'm wrong, but even the shilliest of shills won't be able to justify $1,299.
I don’t watch their videos so I can’t say as to what they say. But I know they will be careful as to not piss off PK the owner and possibly be thrown out of the influencer group. Also, because I got “ahead of this “ , they couldn’t set the narrative and try to down play it. When the “preorder discounts come out , they will be like “well this is good they are giving us 200$ off for preordering”.
Terrible design.
It needs a more masculine look
It’s better than the old one though.
I don't see the value. I can already play Killer Instinct with CoinOpsX and thousands of other games on the Legends Ultimate and it plays fine and didn't cost me a penny. All of these games are old, well before High Def (let alone 4K) so the games are not going to be in any higher resolution with a 4K monitor for the same reason the old arcade games don't come in HD with an HD monitor of the original.
4k is kinda meaningless for old school arcade and such. 1080 is just fine.
I kind of like and dont like the design its hard to say. I'm actually leaning more torwards rhe UNICO candy cab. Killer instinct pinball im all for that
I wish we could get a hands on experience for the Unico. But at this price , I’m leaning toward Unico too.
😢😢😢😢😢 that POS yea right just build one... I'm soooooooo tired of overpricing
Folks are stuck with a locked $200 dollar deposit on an Adams pin they fomod into that many dont even want anymore. You guys really want to lock up another deposit? 😆 🤣 😂
Great point. And they already delayed the AF pinball. These people aren’t even getting them when promised.
I won't be buying this. Not because it's bad. It seem like it has some good improvements over the 1up. But I have more fun making my own cabs. Even if they are not perfect. Or if I happen to find a steal on my dream cab(original). I will buy that.
Get a real one and even fixing it is a lot of fun if you enjoy it. And all you need is the guys at arcaderepairtips.com and they help with anything.
After destroying 1Up with unnecessary crap that has noting to do with games or hardware, now they spread to atGames like a Cancer. btw; atGames!!.. if you think that for $1200/1400 piece of cardboard for which I'm gonna need to buy a riser for separately and NO CoinOpsX, makes sense over a Nova Blast aluminum + it's resale value... then You Have Lost Your Goddamn Mind!.. or.. I can buy a PSVR2, a PS5 and still have enough left for a few games... or.. a brand new gaming PC and a 4K monitor. atGames, what drugs are you on?....
Don’t forget you need pay more for the games you want , and you’ll need to use OTG , and you need to pay for arcade net 😂😂
You’re no better than the shills you’re just playing the opposite side of the coin as Mr. Doom and Gloom. An honest review would mention that AtGames frequently has deep discounts on their products. MSRP may be $1,300 but these will probably regularly sell around $999. This places the 4K at the same price point as the Arcade1Up Pro series. Slam AtGames for using the same crappy sales tactics as Bed Bath and Beyond or Kohls where they jack up the retail price so the sales price is what the fair market value is.
Uhhh. I said that , wtf are you talking about. I said they always go on sale and don’t pay MSRP. I’m sure they will have a preorder price , but that’s how they F you over. You don’t see what you’re really getting , you take a risk , and give them your money early. It always goes on sale at Sams Club and everywhere.
Bed, Bath and Beyond went out of business this year. If ATGames is following in their footsteps, perhaps they'll have similar results.
Yeah. Who would have thunk . BBB was a huge company and I would have never though of them going out of business.
i think price will be 999.99
Cmon arcade talk. You know already what the msrp is. Whether they discount it for preorder , only you guys know that.
Do they actually warranty products? Make it 10 years.... if they don't actually give you warranty support who cares
1 year of legends care. Whatever that means. I guess a monitor or pcb could go bad
Jesus wtf lol
Unfortunately Arcade 1up looks 10x better 😅
You thought it was never possible , but somehow they made a crappy 1up KI pro at $1000 look reasonable.
Too much shit on that control deck.
I’ve ALWAYS agreed with that. Way too busy. For a 2 player panel .
@@therexershow brother, I actually like the cab, no doubt it's got some personality. But goddamn that deck looks like vomit thrown against a wall. Somebody needs to tell them that. Change the deck some way some how
I can see people liking the design. I wouldn’t judge them for it. I don’t but it’s not horrible . What’s funny is all the same shills before said how much they love 1up for having cab accurate designs , then Atgames comes out with this and they all love it.
@@therexershow Very true brother
Great video and you’re right…rip off. Anything under 32” 4k is a waste. Artwork is hideous and why did they go away from original artwork. Keep it real rexer…
Thanks Kidd , do you really need to play SF and Ki in 4k on a 27 inch screen ? 1080 isn’t good enough ? I’m not playing pub G on a widescreen 3 montior setup and sniping people from 300 yards away. Dumb upgrade imo.
Atgames are starting to make big mistakes. The pricing is way too high and the artwork is amateurish at best.
It’s ver bad art. Looks like some two color default gradient layer I could do and then add some characters . They just need to make it look more like originals.
It's F'kn ugly like all Atgames stuff
Not interested in this product at any price. My ATGames cabinet is by far my least played, but at least it was very well priced.
The ALu at $500 was a good deal imo.
Hi rexer great video to me the arcade is ugly art and shape and also I own the mini ultimate the wood quality is worse than 1 up the price is way over priced I am guessing if you want to buy ki game on the e shop it won’t be compatible with are older models unless we buy 4K models my only guess is that they have big license arcade games coming out in order to demand a heavy price increase I wonder if any of the at games influencers know about that rexer merry Christmas happy new year to you and your family
Merry Christmas GG! I would hope if they have any bee licenses , they would announce them soon if they want people to buy. The KI doesn’t work with original ALU. Just another shaft to the OG owners. But I think the OG owners have the last laugh. We will see on the discounts.
The content is good but you pontificate a bit much. $1300 is alot of money, But this isn't trying to be an arcade1up bargain machine. Rather than the "I'm more honest than influencer X" spiel, explain why it costs that much, and let the viewer decide, and give your opinion.
For those that care, It's a 27 Inch 4K Screen, which I would argue makes up the majority of that cost. 2nd, is the CPU and innards of the machine. which are upgrading over the previous model, with 4 times the storage capacity. The Screen is also 3 times bigger. The Marquee up top is also an fully customizable LCD. (which was a 350 upgrade, to buy and add on to the previous model), So if we're comparing, the ALU HD, normally goes for 600 when it's not on sale. the LCD marquee addition goes for another 350 when that's not on sale. So, the previous model of similar features would run you 950, Though for 800 now, I think you could get the whole set up before shipping on their site. So what are you getting for the extra 300? A 3 inch larger screen with 4 times the resolution. A system with 4 times the storage capacity, and a processor with better performance.
Why WOULD somebody want or care about those upgrades? If all you're going to do is retro game, all of that means nothing to you aside from the storage. however, the ATGAMES software allows you hook up via passthrough HDMI or stream though steam link, your modern gaming library. So this not only allows you to play the 200 games on it, which include the Marquis title, KI1, KI2, Battletoads, ETC, along with pinball games. But you can also run your steam library, or hook whatever console you want to you, OR plug in a flash drive with Coin ops, and build your own library.
1300 is the bottom end of what you would pay any other similar cabinet right now, whether it's Game Room Solutions, RecRoom Masters, or going DIY with the Unico, and even those have their draw backs, such as DIY, where is this ready due 90% of what it's capable of out of the box.
Do you watch channels like mike B and Pdubs and console kits ? You think i pontificate ? These guys take a 1 sentence News fact and spent an hour on a stream going over it and acting like they are the arcade experts. Lol. And did you even watch the video ? I showed all the changes and all the specs changes. And a 3 inch increase monitor that’s 4k isn’t why it costs $700 more. The bit lcd is the main reason but it seems like you didn’t watch. As for talking about the “influencers group” , it’s the law that they all divulge they are in the group, but they Almost Never do , so it’s important that people and community know that they have bias on the product. Why do you think it’s law ? You should be thanking me for letting you know so when you see mike B saying how awesome it is, and how the price is fair , you know he is bought and paid for. You’re welcome.
And you’re nuts $1300 is what you pay for GRS. Or other DIY. They give you better build and for much less. And you can put in better components.
@@therexershow There's literally NO option on GRS for a 4K screen sir, and you know that. You also know that they have absymal customer service and a lengthy delivery time, but lets forget that, A ready made GRS cabinet, that you can TURN OUT OF THE box, starts at 2099.... So you're saying that's a good deal?
@@therexershow "And you can put in better components"
What better components can I put in a GRS that I can't put in this? Sanwa controls? I can do that. Happ Controls? I can do that. Glenn's retro show regular has tutorials on how to install HIS hardware on ANY of ATgames Arcade's stuff. Hell, they are using HIS spinners 😂😂
@@therexershow Yes I think you pontificate, that's why I said that, and that's why you're dropping them by name. None of there videos are straight up shilling any of these products, they're just sharing their thoughts about how upcoming stuff, and quote Pdubs "What is wrong with buying these to create content, such as letting people know how a product works, and what they can do with it"...what IS wrong with that? There's better ways to separate yourself from others besides bashing them on weak points. Just sayin
These arcades suck, stick with japanese candy cabs or viewlix
From HD ugly to 4K ugly.
Looks like absolute trash
Pat for the course with Atgames.
