Customer Ratings & Reviews

My first 1up Arcade purchase; after doing research on past machines, I'm glad I waited for one of the deluxe editions. Don't have to deal with risers and you get more games. This is a great machine - the assembly was a little tricky for me, but once it was finished and I plugged it in, it was very satisfying to see it boot up and the marquee light up. If you've had experience assembling cabinets before, you might get this put together more quickly. But for my first time, this took about 3 hours. 14 games in this; MK1, MK2, MK3, UMK3, Paperboy, Rootbeer Tapper, Defender, Bubbles, Klax, Toobin, Rampage, Joust, Wizard of Wor, and Gauntlet. All run great - rootbeer tapper and bubbles have been two surprisingly fun games I've played almost as much as the main MK series. Right off the bat, once powered up, you are absolutely sucked into that zoned in arcade mode - the world sort of fades behind you. I'd forgotten how fun it is to play a cabinet and interact with a joystick and buttons, instead of just playing on a console. It's a whole different experience and this captures it fantastically. The re-playability is top tier - just that ever present ability to jump in and play about 40 minutes is nice. Screen looks beautiful especially in the dark - Wi-Fi connectivity is good (for me - more on that later). Enjoy having the app to have all moves and fatalities right there. Sound and speakers are really fantastic too, very clear and has good bass - sounds exactly like a standard arcade cabinet should. All comes together and creates a magical gaming atmosphere. Depending on your height, a stool may be preferred. In my case being 6'2, while standing up is acceptable, I do find it's more comfortable on my neck and arms to be on a stool. If you happen to have a drafting stool with arms and a back, it's an even more incredible and comfortable experience. I saw some comments about input lag? I haven't noticed anything close to lag - to be fair, I haven't played online yet, so it might be an issue with local Wi-Fi connectivity (not everyones home network is the same in terms of up/down speeds or signal strength) so that may have a part to play in this 'issue'. As far as my experiences though, all controls and inputs have been very responsive and snappy. Fatalities executed with precision and no delay. Price is a little high, but for what you're getting (number of games, build quality, and game genre variety) I don't regret this purchase. I'd like a companion machine from the SF series in this same 1up Arcade deluxe line of cabinets, but patience and saving comes first. One thing I did notice when the games are running in 'demo' mode (like they would in an arcade trying to tempt you to play the game and insert money), the sound eventually turns off after about 10 minutes. The game/cpu is still running on the video. Might just be my machine, but if you're getting this as a sort of Art Deco piece, and want the demo sounds/video running constantly or at least an extended period of time, it's just something to consider. Doesn't take away from the gameplay - when actually playing the machine there are no sound interruptions. Overall would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting to dip your toes in the arcade cabinet pool or add to your collection.

Just like playing at the arcade and at home on the Super Nintendo. Light up marque looks really sharp! Screen is very clear and looks just like the original game, controls work great. Cabinet was easy to put together, the art is nice looking. Deluxe versions is nice, easier to assemble vs the rise versions, and height is better as well. Definitely recommend the deluxe versions over the others, Arcade1Up is stepping up their game If you like Mortal Kombat and/or arcade machines, definitely get this one to add your collection. Has all 3 Mortal Kombat games. Also includes Rampage, Gauntlet, Paper Boy, and other classics! Great plus, worth the price! Cabinet is great size, not official size as like the arcade, but perfect to play at home with multiple players and permits you to maximize your room real estate. Don't be defeated, get this arcade machine!

I am so happy I purchased this for my family! My husband put it together on Christmas day and it took him around 1-2 hours. Because it's such a unique item, it was important to take our time and be careful with all the parts. Overall, it was not difficult to do. The frame of this arcade is very nice, thick, and of a good weight. We are having so much fun with all the different games it has available and the online play features. Paperboy is my favorite and the boys love all the Mortal Kombat games. The price was best at Best Buy, vs other stores. I LOVE THIS PURCHASE and HAVE ZERO REGRETS!

I was a little hesitant after reading about input lag, the screen washout issues and so on. I went ahead and pulled the plug and got this incredible machine and as a child of the 90s, its the best purchase ive made in years. Nostalgia hitting on 8 cylinders. I feel like im back at the mall arcade pumping quarters into it like i was 10 years old all over again. Took two days to build and the build quality and hardware is top notch. Buy with confidence. No lag or other issues.

Best Mortal Kombat cabinet yet! The upgrades to this make it the best option in my opinion. Small changes such as screw caps to present a overall cleaner design and look. The upgraded screen and sound system is great. Making these this size (height) without the riser was a major selling point for me. This fits perfect in my space. I’ve experienced no lag and can’t find anything to complain about. I’m ready to buy my next one! Set up can take a little but it’s satisfying to put together yourself and see the finished product.

Nostalgia, easy assembly. Very fun and entertaining

Very cool I got it for my man for Christmas to bring back some nostalgia from his childhood and it worked he loves it! The set up is easy it just takes time and patience. But the end result is sweet. I do with the coin panel lit up but other that that great job.

Arcade1ups best, the Deluxe form factor 3/4 scale cab is awesome. I definitely recommend this for the nostalgia alone. The gameplay on this brings you back to the 90s and it also has a few 80s games too. There's 14 games on it.

This MK2 cabinet looks amazing. Its basically a replica of the original in a smaller scale. The beauty of it, it doesn't take up much space. I can load these games on a console and play them but this is how you play Mortal Kombat. FINISH HIM!!! Arcade1up should have options for functional coin doot. Lol

Love it so much that now I'm getting MS Pacman when ever my friend come over, they jump on the game and play it. for assembly it took me at least 4 hours had to take breaks but when it was all said and done it was very worth it also we bought a small stand for it from arcade 1 up and i do recommend it

This game is absolutely amazing!! The aesthetics of the machine is amazing as well!! My family loves it!! Best purchase!

This is the coolest product purchase I've made in quite a while. Well-made and will take you back to the day! Takes a while to put together but is well worth it and an overall excellent value.

Beautiful Arcade , it’s perfect and great quality and game playing ! Thank you Best Buy !

Loving this cabinet!!! Lots of additional games and the design is closer to the original design of the authentic Mortal Kombat 2 cabinet!

Love having this game in my man cave! I also bought Pac Man!!

This cab is awesome. Love the fact that it doesnt have a riser. Game list is sweet. BOE moniter is crisp. Gameplay is fluid with no lag. My son and i are really enjoying it.

Nostalgia overload!!! I was so happy when I found out it has Gauntlet, and has two player mode! Well worth it. It took a couple hours all together to put together. I spot glued every dowel with gorilla glue to ensure a solid build. It’s still very lightweight and easy to move around when I need to clean. I will definitely buy another one in this lineup. It’s like I’m running my own arcade!!

I feel like I'm at the bowling alley when i was a kid. Love it.

Amazing. Brings me back to HS and hanging out at the local connivance store... putting my quarter up on the game to hold my place in line. Easy to set up and fun to play. I even love the other games on there. They remind me of my old gaming systems. Now my kids are getting into it. The teenager in me is very proud right now.

Exactly as advertised. Easy to set up. Brings back a lot of memories.
