Deadeye | 1,595 Homebrew Team · Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I was very excited when I read pinball. However the machine is partially in the image and I am now not excited. Don't know why I thought it would be a traditional machine and not a tv monitor laid at incline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErickRPG | 42 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 arcade 1up freakin pinball? I might be in at that point. Damn I wish I could afford to line my basement with like 5 or 6 of these things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trj22487 | 350 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I did see that they promised the controls on the arcade machines are weighted in a way that you will feel as though you are hitting a real ball And apparently NBA Jam/Tournament/Hangtime has already been confirmed on Twitter to have original rosters! What will remain to be seen is if they are the early revisions or the later revisions. Edited January 6, 2020 by trj22487 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visual Pinball is something I don't have the patience for but I'm intrigued by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo of units under curtains is almost two years old. Those were WIP prototypes, as evidenced by the cabinet at the end with Altered Beast and Streets of Rage titles. SoR is no longer on the Sega cabinet. Edit: That Big Buck Hunter is going to sell huge, both to the "I want a Golden Tee/Hunter in my home man cave" crowd as well as to modders depending on the internals of those guns & pcb. I'm pretty stoked about an Marvel vs Capcom & Golden Axe cabinet, Golden Axe is one of my all time favorite arcade games.

TDIRunner | 2,697 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 While I'm not really interested in most of these new cabinets and pinball machines, I'm really happy to see them doing well enough to expand into these different models.

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Can you buy these in store somewhere? It looks like you can order them off the website, but I'm guessing the shipping costs would be a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them seem to end up at WalMart on the shelf, others are either exclusive to other retailers or have to be ordered via Walmart or Target's website for either delivery or in-store pickup. The "sweet spot" is finding them on clearance at Walmart from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to pickup my Centipede cab for $70. They also had Asteroids for $70 at the same time, but I couldn't justify the space for another.

I'm guessing you would need a pickup truck to bring it back. I can't see them fitting in a car trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should fit into the trunk of any midsize car no problem, and probably some compact cars as well if the rear seat can fold down. They are not too heavy. I loaded mine myself, but some people may need help with it simply because it's somewhat bulky. Edited January 7, 2020 by TDIRunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they come with the riser inside the box, it's pretty damn heavy. I lifted TMNT up to my 2nd story apartment by myself and I felt like Wilt Chamberlain on his deathbed once I reached the top.

The electronics section is pretty sparse, so I don't know if they have these, but it's worth a look. I wanted one of those Namco Pac-Man/Galaga anniversary machines a few years back but the shipping alone was a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trj22487 | 350 Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Retro Ralph did a livestream of the CES booth today. Just incredible stuff. Awesome look at the pinball tables and the new cabinets. Love seeing the Online Play button right on the control panel of NBA Jam, I'm pretty sure it is free-netplay! I'm actually a little disapointed with the Golden Axe that the did go with the cabinet for the original game, but at least it is in fact 4 player, and you can see it does run the first game too. Also a "surprise" that I've been expecting for a while, they are re-releasing the Wave 1 cabinets with the quality/features we are now seeing in Wave 3/4. Looks like Street Fighter II is coming back with a lit marquee, lit Sanwa buttons, the new BOE screen and stereo speakers. Really glad I waited on that one. Also looks like Burgertime is an online only and won't be appearing in stores? Also our first really good look at the upcoming Frogger Edited January 7, 2020 by trj22487 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boxes are about 60-70lbs. I was able to lift and load mine by myself was awkard but doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErickRPG | 42 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I remember when street fighter was on sale for $250 WITH riser. Supposedly you can hack that one and use it as a mame machine. Some one get my hopes up. Do you think the community will eventually show us how to rig the arcade1up pinball to use it as a visual pinball machine? That is my hope!!
