I am wildly excited about this one! Even with the late hits taken out, the tackles are still brutal! This one will be a man cave mega hit. The 49 way stick his a massive win for A1U, now they can use that stick for other games like Sinistar.
About 15% of the tackles are said to have been taken out but it is still pretty cool. If I did not have my own modded Blitz cab I would buy one in a heartbeat.
Just me, but if I were going to have a “must have” item in order to produce an NFL Blitz cab, it would be after the whistle hits, not a 49-position joystick.
Yeah i did a poll on that and it was almost 50/50. Correct joystick is my preference but i understand wanting the hits. Nfl deserves the blame for being such dorks.
Does this mean we can get a Sinistar cabinet with the rest of the William's classics? Sinistar without such precision control is not really playable... but one of my favourites of all time!
What brand is joystick? Happ 49 way are $175/each. I'm guessing based on price point those are cheap knock offs in cab. That'll be pretty expensive to put 4 quality 49 way joysticks in this cab
Sounds like they're making their own (same as the other cabs). And good point: replacement cost will be through the roof on this unless we get a GRS type home arcade solution
The online peeks my intrest, was shooting for mostly 80's arcade cause im old, but when my youngest boy was 10 this was in the mall arcade we always went too..Now he is 33 and love my 1ups that I do not have room for...lol
I don't understand with this one! You can have service members died in combat and they have games that display them getting kill but it an issue have late hits in nfl blitz mind boggling! No disrespect to all the nfl players that die from the cause of concussion protocol but I am soldier myself (US Army) numbers doesnt match numbers that are lose from wars and conflicts all around the world! I think it should have been a feature to turn on and off for the late hits instead of water down to kool-aid! I wait just for a sale to happening or fall below 450.00!
this graphic explains it but idk if youtube will kill the link: www.seanriddle.com/49way.jpg So if that graphic is right, center position actually isn't counted
Basically, it’s a 24-way, because nobody uses the zero position and everyone always uses the fastest or full push in any of the directions. I’ve never seen anyone go light on a joystick.
@@UnqualifiedCritics that explains it perfectly, I didn't take into consideration every possible combination of direction levels, for example X axis +2, Y axis+1, when determining the number of "ways".
Nice to have you back around I cant wait for those 49 way to break they CAN NOT be made like a real one lol . BUT NO LATE HITS NO BAD HITS NO BUY! PG13 BLITZ CAN SUCK IT! AND FYI That's NOT a Robotron Cab its a JOUST cab THATS A TRAVISTY!
No but Sinistar does. I think Qbert is just a rotated square gate (so a diamond, iirc). Would LOVE a QBERT cab btw but it sounds like we won't ever get one :(
I wanna see gameplay from the cab before even thinking about purchasing this.
They altered the game there’s no late hits they removed players is it even blitz at this point 🤨
A real 49 way stick is around $130-$150. . lets just hope it plays half decent with whatever knock off they've come up with.
They could probably use the tech for modern-day console controller analog sticks 🎮.

Now that they have done a 48-way joystick, it's time for the Sinistar cabinet
Understandable that the late hits are gone but 12 year old me from 1999 would be bummed lol

I already have Blitz 99 & 2000 running on my modded NBA Jam cab so I'm definitely good on not getting this one.

I’m pretty sure Arch Rivals used a 49way stick too
Just think, we may get an Arch Rivals cab, but without being able to punch of course.
yo yo what up UC?? I'm super excited and already ordered!!! My favorite arcade game
Nice that hat they're giving away with early preorders actually looks pretty sweet
I want that stick on my Defender party-cade
it won't work with anything. unless the game supports it.
later

I’m gonna hold off on a XL or pro Blitz.
Sure would be nice to know in advance if/when pro/xl versions of new releases are coming

I suspect the real issue is the nfl is more interested in protecting its brand than any genuine concern for harm stemming from game graphics, my man
Price is $599
So 3 levels in 8 directions plus neutral is 25 way or am I missing something?

Arcade 1 up knocked this cab over the fence🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥
So you can install a 49 way joystick 🕹 but you can’t install better buttons and a 1080p ips screen thats at least 19 inches 🤨
They would need a much more powerful soc than whatever they’re going to have to run 1080p!
@@UnqualifiedCritics But the masses would pay for the increase give us what we want
Doesn’t Qbert use a 49 way joystick?
No but Sinistar does. I think Qbert is just a rotated square gate (so a diamond, iirc). Would LOVE a QBERT cab btw but it sounds like we won't ever get one :(
