Arcade1up Clearance Sale

[RandyT]

If the market is only for people with no room, skills, time or money....that's a terrible demographic to aim for.

If you want WalMart to buy 200 tons worth, that's the demographic you have to aim for.   Can you buy higher-end anything there?

[Malenko]

You can already not buy fight sticks with games built into them....

Licensed ones? Exactly.
The ones you are talking about are made with the same cheap parts as the A1Ups as well.

[opt2not]

Since you’re jumping in here somewhat uninformed, here’s a wall of text.

You know what I hate?

Whether in business or hobbies, I hate when someone bashes something without providing a better solution. 

There has been better solutions suggested in this thread. Unfortunately there’s so much to sift through, you might have missed it.

It appears 1up did the best they could and ultimately it will show as a failed gamble.  In order to sell it retail, they had to make their own cheaper joysticks and buttons and keep the weight and materials to a minimum to hit that price point.  Unfortunately, at $250 or $300 they sold only a few units during black Friday and barely a trickle after.  I know that for a fact because I see the same quantity online and in store.  People could get a ps4 or xbox cheaper.

Cost was not the problem, if what I’m seeing here is a value comparison. Besides, these cabs are not supposed to compete with modern consoles so that’s kind of a weird comparison.

No, these cabs had a lot of hype before customers actually got their hands on it. The Street Fighter version was debuted at Evo this year on the show floor and almost every one of those fighting game fans said they felt cheap, and had problems with the LCD viewing angles. A1Up tried pitching these to people who are familiar with quality controls, and they got exposed from the jump. you can’t cheap-out on controls! That was the first sign of exposing the creators of these cabs as not really understanding the arcade experience. One of the primary pillars of the arcade experience IS the controls!

I appreciate their effort and it's a shame the demand for nostalgia isn't higher.  I hope the failure isnt so bad that it makes future attempts unlikely but that is probably it. 

The demand for nostalgia is still here. The shame is in their execution and cost cutting decisions. For that, I cannot appreciate their “attempt” because their QA problems could have been avoided if A. They actually had experience with arcade cabs , B. didn’t only focus on their bottom-line.

So for those bashing these units, what is the alternative for someone that has little time, little room, no real woodworking tools or skills, and only $200 to $300 to spend on bringing back something similar to what they remember from 35 to 40 years ago?

First, many people would spend up to an extra $100 to replace the cheap controls to get a more authentic feel. So let’s say the budget is closer to $400 at the end of the day.

Secondly, let’s say the “little room” a person might have is enough space to assemble these cabs.
Let’s assume that person doesn’t have the space to paint as well.

So, under tat criteria, it’s been suggested in this thread that pre-cut CNC’d cabinet kits would be the best way to go. You can get a high quality kit that assembles similar to these, and can get you 70% there. Can’t paint? No problem! Some kit suppliers have no-paint solutions like laminate surfaces that eliminates the need to paint. Wiring can be easily achieved with some research. Let’s face facts, if you came to this site to learn how to mod these cabinets, you can come here to learn how to properly wire one from scratch.

If you’re creative with acquiring parts, secondhand can be cheap and still be higher quality than what comes with these cabs.

What could 1up have done differently?

- not cheap out on parts, especially the monitor and controls
- actually QA the parts that comes with it (there are numerous reports of bad lcd’s/dead-pixels, damaged wood, rub-away graphics)
- properly and ethically market these things
- use a JAMMA wiring standard (they must know that people are going to want to mod these things. Why not embrace that to their advantage and allow an easier time to do so)
- have a constancy between their prototypes and production units that have been vetted by people who understand the arcade experience
- not rely on an outdated version of mame. Especially with the dodgy licensing these emulators adhere to. Look at what Nintendo did, they built their own emulator for their classic consoles, no doubt by using “free” emulator
 source as a starting point.

[leapinlew]

These things aren’t perfect, definitely room for improvement, but I don’t understand the attacks on the company. You guys are acting like they were deceptive by referencing some marketing material. I see on their website they show the height, they show people playing on a cabinet with a riser and they are still towering over the machine. I’m not trying to nullify your other points but it sounds like elitism.

[opt2not]

I guess you didn’t see the endorsement videos from pro street fighter competitors stating that these cabs are exactly like the originals.

[RandyT]

First, many people would spend up to an extra $100 to replace the cheap controls to get a more authentic feel. So let’s say the budget is closer to $400 at the end of the day.

Unfortunately, many people will not.  They just see the higher cost of entry, and having no idea what will suffice for them, are spooked away. And those same people, once in at the lower price point, are more likely to incrementally pay for upgrades.

The rampant success (monetarily speaking) of this model in modern video game offerings is a testament to the effectiveness of this marketing tactic.  An extreme example would be Fortnight, which has raked in an estimated 2 billion in profit.  Not bad for a free game.  Meanwhile, Quake Champions languished with a dearth of players at ~$40 until they went to the incremental model and started making it free. But by then, it was too late.

Well if that was the model A1Up is going for, they still failed from the sheer fact that this model only works by hooking customers into a quality experience. Like it or not, Fortnite is a high quality game from its baseline. Though not my cup o’ tea, it still is a good 3rd person shooter with high quality art and game play. (I went to Epic’s recent Unreal  dev day and they showed off Fortnite’s production aspects and I was really impressed on how tight and AAA their pipeline was for creating the maps,  characters and micro transaction components)
The only way the incremental model works is when your baseline is enough to merit a loyal consumer base.

Unfortunately the “base” of this product is substandard. Again, made apparent by the various quality issues.

Quality issues might be more of a BYOAC thing. The spinner is terrible, the trackball is fine and the joysticks are YMMV. The LCD is lower end but is still decent. The box itself is ikea quality. The control panel is piss poor but the remedy is acceptable. That's my take.

As far as user reported issues, I see a good amount of happy users. I also see a good amount of DOA units.

I'll be keeping an eye for a A1UP to go on sale cheap, but I would jump on a $50 unit to use as a shell. I'll be one of those guys who throws another couple hundred into it so I can have yet another cabinet capable of playing Galaga. I suspect I won't have to wait too long. I'll be sure to not post a project announcement!

Why not? There’s people here that would probably enjoy seeing what you do with it.

Salty Lew is not my favorite Lew.

I literally just said I liked you in an earlier comment you sunabitch. What's so freakin hard to understand you lovable bastard?! 

A difference of opinion is fine. It's what makes the world go 'round. I try to not get emotionally invested and I try to keep it in my mind that real people are on the other side of the keyboard. I'm pretty naive to the fact that others might be getting emotionally involved, so you would have no problems sneaking a punch in on me if we were ever in the same place.

You know I love you Lew, but I picture you flipping off the screen every time you click “Post”. :-)

I’ll just say this about these cabinets, and it will be the last thing I ever say about them. I think they’re perfect if you want to buy them for kids, they’re fine if you’re an adult you don’t really wanna spend the time building a project, but I as an arcade collector and restorer don’t feel any obligation to think these are some kind of revolutionary product or the coolest thing since sliced bread. I think that’s where some of the objections to them stems from. It’s like Kaneda’s bedroom - just because I collect games too doesn’t mean I have to think that his sad story isn’t anything more than a sad, cautionary tale.

Anyhoo, can’t wait to see everyone at ZapCon!! Whoooo!!

[opt2not]

One thing about Lew is that at least he wants to have a discussion. There are people here that’ll tell you to ignore the thread if you disagree with them. That’s where I look at it as a challenge, because ain’t nobody gonna tell me to not speak my mind.

[leapinlew]

Before we break into kumbaya, we should get this back on track.

For whatever reason, all the Walmarts around me have gone back up to $299 for their arcade1ups. I'll check every couple days, but I suspect I'll eventually stumble across them in yard sale or something.

[ark_ader]

Well thanks for telling us that.  I wouldn't have guess that from reading your posts.  We get it.  You do not like the 1Up Arcade.  You do need to reiterate and declare the obvious trolling.

My guess is that people have been on you tube, seen the mods, word has gone out and demand for these cabs are getting stronger.  The recent Playstation console has dropped $50, possibly due to bad reviews, and modding them doesn't seem to perk up interest, as well as reviews on "why did I buy this", so there is clearly a trigger in the arcade community (instilled or otherwise) that is more on the side of conservative, than opportunity. 

Someones garbage is another person's treasure perhaps?

[ark_ader]

I saw a guy at Frys today sitting in a chair playing the 12-1 game on a riser. I also saw a woman hunched over uncomfortably trying to play Rampage that wasn’t on a riser. Neither looked like they were having fun.

I was there buying parts to fix my full-sized Multipede and my Missile Command.  Both are up and running now, and I couldn’t be more chuffed.

I cannot just see you going to Frys to buy arcade parts.  The only arcade parts are those crappy push buttons for $5.  So I think you were there to play those 1Up Arcade machines,,,,  Admit it!

I was there to buy an LS257 chip and some sockets, dolt.

Sure you did.  You found them?  Did you ask the staff where they were?  Did they look at you as if you were crazy?  You can bring that 1Up Arcade you bought to the ZapCon, its OK, nobody will laugh.

Just found this Pac-man model for $325 on Craigslist.
https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/ele/d/oklahoma-city-pac-man-pac-man-plus/6779115961.html
That's $325...
...for an Arcade1up...
...with a missing balltop....
..."graphics on controller board (are) faded"...
...and condition listed as "Excellent"

[yotsuya]

In all seriousness, and to get back on track, I’m wondering how much having to send out the panel plexi ate into Arcade1Up’s profits. I don’t think it was part of the original plan, so the money for making and shipping them had to come from somewhere.

And I agree with Opt - I think the lack of quality control is ultimately what will bite A1Up in the end.  Any sort of rigorous testing would have shown the CP wear issue. That’s bad for business when you see displays in stores that look that way. I’ve also seen issues where the marquee graphic was applied upside down, meaning the marquee is useless.

[leapinlew]

Just saw the attached pic. It's rumor at this point.

Pretty sure it'll make our resident MK expert Malenkos head explode, but I'm a more casual MK player. I'll probably get this if it comes out. The kids are loving Mortal Kombat right now and I could see them enjoying this cabinet for a few years. I could build this but for $300, it would be hard to accomplish.

[smass]

While we are on the rumor mill, several sources have indicated that the 2nd series will be announced in March and will include MKII, Simpsons, and TMNT.  Those three would make perfect sense as they all have mass pop culture appeal.

That said, I would not touch one of these for more than $150.  As much as I like the ones I have, for me $150 is the sweet spot for the form factor and art package vs. building from scratch.  At $300 plus tax, if I had to have an MKII, I would build it.  Or look into buying a "blank" cab off Ali Express.  There are several vendors that seem to be selling an arcade1up clone.  Although with Ali, its a gamble of course.   $100 or less shipped for a flat packed blank of this form factor would be intriguing..

[Malenko]

Pretty sure it'll make our resident MK expert Malenkos head explode, but I'm a more casual MK player.

MK3Fan is more of an expert than I am. I do know enough about the hardware to know there's no way they'll put something powerful enough to emulate MK4 and that the run button is missing from their mock up.
Those mock ups were also on the prototype flyer along with the SFII cab that had Strider and Final Fight on it. I think the Asteroids prototype had Qbert on it too.  They also photoshopped oversized screens

This is a simple case of the factory in China meeting a price point and delivery schedule.  I'm sure the prototypes performed fabulously, and looked the part.  Then, the pressure went up to deliver before the holidays, the factory started cutting corners, something probably changed in either the materials or the plant doing the printing and the QC people were put on a different job.  The boxes were packed and never opened until they sat in your living room.

Seriously, the Chinese business model seems to be to ship everything and deal with the fallout afterward.  And unless you own the factory, they always seem to win the battle that comes later because they know you aren't sending them back, and you certainly can't get it cheaper elsewhere.  This is "shopping on the cheap in China 101".

[smass]

Here's one for you.  I am a member of several arcade1up groups on FB and there a more than a few folks modding them and re-selling.  I think this guy installed actual gemstone ruby and sapphire ball tops...


   

[leapinlew]

We've seen this story before. Dude buys cabinet, mods it, has fun, thinks he could make money, tests market. He's probably looking at domain names now.

I think just about everyone goes through a phase thinking this hobby could be financially self sustaining, if not profitable.

Well, the hobby does teach us many skills, which in turn can be profitable if one wanted to go that route.

After reading these posts and seeing some pictures you guys posted showing these cabs after wear and tear, I dont think I will mess with them.
Especially after reading about the cheap controls, and cheap Chinese made.
The reason Im weighing in I suppose, is I wonder if the apparent rise in the arcade appeal could help sustain someone opening a retro style Arcade?
