New garage cab. [Nintendo VS] What games work?

<< < (2/6) > >>

Crazy Cooter:
Took a look at it today and pulled some measurements.  There is no way to get this in the house. >:( 

I'll either have to:
1- Build a new cab (that looks the same but splits).
2- Hack up this one (don't want to do that).
3- Pass it along (don't want to do that).
4- Keep it in the garage (it's actually getting a lot of use out there).
5- ??

tommy:
Do you not have sliding glass doors in your house, you could take both doors out very easily, im sure you thought of that.  ;)

APFelon:
If you decide to pass it along, I'm local. AND we can continue our discussion on China. Hint hint, wink, nudge. :D

Flack:
Been there, done that. I picked up my VS cabinet (Excitebike/SMB), got it home, and discovered the same thing. If I remember correctly, the back of the cabinet to the front of the control panel measured about 35", and the door to my gameroom was 33" (there's also a load bearing wood railing that would have had to come down as well). After hanging on to it for about six months (and playing it out in my garage from time to time), I put it back on eBay and resold it. The happy ending to my story was, I used the money and bought a sit down VS cabinet with SMB and Dr. Mario in it, so all's well that end's well.

For what it's worth, I scratched my head going over that cabinet for a while and never did figure out an easy way to cut its size down.

Crazy Cooter:
Yeah it looks to be ~35'' due to the cp sticking out.  I'm going to have to rearrange the garage to accomodate this thing.  Hogans Alley is incredibly fun.  The girlie & I keep using it as a decision maker.  If I want one thing and she wants another, we "take it to the garage".  It's funny because she was never into this stuff until now.  She can't smoke in the house, so this gives her something to do out in the garage while she smokes.  I just have to make sure she doesn't get better than I am at the game. ;)

What games plug into this?  Just the vs boards?  Or is this some type of nintendo standard?  I haven't looked at the electronics yet.
