Customers are saying

Customers find value in the smooth gameplay and excellent build quality of the NFL Blitz Arcade with Riser and Lit Marquee. Many appreciate the ease of assembly and setup, along with the fun factor for players of all ages. The enjoyable multiplayer option is also frequently praised. A common complaint, however, centers on the absence of late hits in the game.

    Super fun game, brings back memories of playing NFL Blitz at Alladins castle. Sometimes the system runs slow when playing live. Cabinet was fairly easy to put together, took about an hour. One corner was dinged up the rest was in good shape.

    Easy setup. Well built and sturdy. All 3 versions of Blitz are exactly as remembered even without the late hits. Looking forward to the online aspect. Highly recommend!

    Being a Best Buy Total tech member has its rewards. By being a member not only did I get great service, but the game was $100 cheaper than anywhere else. It was also covered for two years from date of purchased. I waited to review because I wanted to play the game a while. This is awesome! Three different games, 4 players, all 32 teams. The graphics and action are great. I recommend Best Buy for all your arcade 1up games.

    Great game overall, a few improvements suggested

    Very happy with the game play (sad the late hits were taken off, if kids can play Call of Duty and other shooting games, tackling someone late in a video game seems not that bad.) Regardless, still great to play with my son and his friends to help them remember the old greats of the game. My only recommendation is to stop making the 17" screen on a game with up to 4 players - there is just not a realistic amount of room for everyone to play normally. a larger screen with wider cabinet on these 4 player games seems like to would make a lot more sense long term. LCD screens are not the cost they used to be so this would seem like a reasonable request. Since these games appeal to adults (because the players are all from 20+ years ago) I would suggest to make the game a little taller too (even with the riser). I see Arcade 1Up is going this route with *some* of the newer models, but it should probably become the default moving forward. I also have the original Arcade 1Up NBA Jam before the larger Shaq model came out, and i did like the LED light on the control pad, which is not present on NFL Blitz. Still great that Arcade 1Up is offering these so overall I am happy - just suggestions for improvement.

    Was pretty hard to assemble but well worth it once its done. Graphics on side of arcade could have been better and joystick handle loostens up whej playing so you just have to tighten it uo from time to time. Other than those 2 things graphics are great buttons and joy stick are super responsive and sound quality is actually really good! 8.5/10

    Okay this thing is just awesome as a a throw back, emulation station. That means this is a toy, and not quite the $5000 real life arcade cabinet. It runs off a cheap little android computer instead of the “original hardware”. It features a fun, miniature size cabinet and monitor, 19inch. With the 10inch riser installed the setup is reasonably ergonomic for a 5ft 8inch tall, pudgy middle aged man and fan of such vintage emulation station. tldr? If you are of an NBA height this would be hard to play on. It isn’t the ‘realest’, and after the whistle blows you can’t mercilessly jump on downed players over and over again, like you could before the fun police got to it. In 2023, here is finally a legal way to play Blitz online, it is a fun center piece for a room, and it’s certainly the right price. I have since bought the Shaq Edition NBA Jam machine, because I loved the blitz machine so much. If you find your friends gathering in your living room to play blitz or jam on an emulator, then step up to a dedicated arcade feel machine where everyone has the same controls, no excuses, fast boot, let’s play the game!

    Exchanged a nonfunctioning Ridge Racer for this yesterday. Took about 3 hours to build. Great looking machine and it started up right away. Great game that we are already starting to enjoy. We placed it next to our Ms. PacMan that everyone has been enjoying for the last 1 month. Prayerfully they last........and the interest in playing them does too;-) Kudos to Bestbuy for allowing me to exchange the nonfunctioning Ridge Racer without any issue.
