Arcade1up Fast & Furious Cabinet Review

[@MaximumLowBlow]

Holy shit that side-by-side was BRUTAL. It looks nothing like the arcade version

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

Yes Because vin diesel and Paul Walker aren't in it Like the original arcade version

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

And the menu screen for the fast and the furious is the same one as Tokyo drift

[@JeffYPbPr]

Finally a real review. Ain't buying this trash. Don't sell it at a loss. Disassemble that trash. Throw it back in the box and take it back dude.

[@Larry]

You said the graphics had a downgrade, could this be the Wii poet of the game, when they removed the license and released it as Crusin'

[@brutaljustin1349]

I think the most disappointing thing about this cab is that it makes me question if A1Up can even pull off a Daytona USA or Crazy Taxi cab without any major issues.

[@ToxcynTV]

Thanks for taking 2 for the team, Fox🦊. What IS there is a fun game but such a shame they made so many concessions and cut so much meat out. Congratulations on 100 steam episodes and good luck to that lucky lucky buyer of the discounted cab!

[@mattbrown2784]

Man, I own a pizza parlor with 6 arcade 1ups which turns out is a big hit. Anyhow I considered buying 2 of these today and boy I'm glad I didn't! I didn't care for the arcade version but I thought the kids might enjoy it... THANKS FOR SAVING ME $1200+ (subscribed!)

[@Charmander009]

Ur kids would enjoy it . Who cares about graphics . That’s not what makes games fun

[@TwistedGamingTV]

Great review Fox! Makes sense when I saw the Arcade1up promo video for this when I saw the graphics they looked nothing like the arcade. Upsetting!

[@blaudi_alan]

the steering wheel on the original fnf and fnf tokyo drift had both the bungee spring for the wheel recenter and force feedback during gameplay. ngl i think arcade1up missed an opportunity to add force feedback for the cab

[@Frank_D]

Honestly a lot of the problems with this cab could have and should have been solved with transparency: -Don't split up the two games. Use the Drift artwork to make it abundantly clear what game this is. -Let people know that there will be a day one update, so that people don't buy two cabs and start asking "How do I connect the two cabs?" Other than that, I think the way the cabs connect is rather clunky. If you're going to have the cabs communicate using a router as an intermediary, that could introduce latency and other issues. It would be better if these cabs communicated with each other directly. Take the Nintendo Switch for example. If you want to play with someone locally, the Switches connect directly to each other without the need for a router. Iirc you've been able to do that with Nintendo hardware ever since they introduced the wireless link adapter for the Game Boy Advance, so they should've had no problem implementing it with this cab. I wasn't planning on picking it up because I already have a driving cab, but I am glad to hear that people are enjoying playing it.

[@BigChiliDog]

Hell of a review. Very thorough. Setting the standard for these types of reviews man!

[@redroversk]

you'll definitely find out who's a shill and who's not with this one

[@ytyndale3643]

Great review man, looks like ridge racer is still the number one racing cab from arcade1up. At least it's arcade accurate.

[@SteveVsManCaveArcade]

Great review Fox. What a disappointment this cabinet turned out to be. Seems like it could have been a home run for them, but they dropped the ball in so many areas. I wish you luck on selling the second cabinet quickly

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

You know what is harder to sell than 1 arcade1up cabinet? This looks really disappointing man. The excitement people had for it over the weekend gave me hope but man this looked rough. You looked handsome as always

[@Excaidus-Metal]

It should of been reviewed directly wired linked with a top of the line router to be fair.

[@jayman2196]

If we need to buy a top of the line router and two adapters just to be hopeful that it gives it a chance to play well, I'm out.

[@halfadozen6]

*Pause

[@Excaidus-Metal]

​@jayman2196 All hardware links work like that. If you got a router that does not perform well enough, it's not even hard wired in, and maybe the wifi signal is too far away what do you expect to get?

[@Excaidus-Metal]

I would rather buy 2 of these F&F cabs rather than that K.I. Pro that is around the same price. You hard-core A1Up KZbinrs have to at least be fair and link the cabs correctly before spreading it around that these cabs are a bad deal.

[@koga_jangles1490]

My cab comes in tomorrow but I've been watching a lot of footage on the cab. My only issue is them splitting Drift into 2 games. That is stupid. I'm more irritated about having to switch games to pick a course. Drift was just an update/expansion of the original so I'm not upset about it not being there but it is still not right to advertise it there...when its really not there. Doing a wired connection isn't an issue for me with how things are set up in my home but I can understand how it is for some if you rcabs and router are far away and dont want a long cord going across your home. From what I've seen/know, I'm confident I will enjoy the cab but I can see why some won't Awesome review Fox!

[@RobertCatiller67]

WOW. A fair, honest, thorough and intelligent A1up review. I need to start watching more of your content.

[@19kfox]

Much appreciated.

[@BiggggyD]

Fantastic review on your "two" ✌️ F&F cabinets from Kentucky!

[@19kfox]

🦊🥃

[@rushmore3927]

30 FPS and reduced graphics to fit an ARM chipset. This is very lame since it is not an actual arcade game. Seems that since Blitz they have hit a slippery slope downward. Blitz however is at least close to the arcade versions. Raw Thrills really did this downgraded port. They're better than this.

[@turbinegraphics16]

This is way worse than I expected.

[@kenpass8942]

That's why I will never buy an arcade one up. And I will always stick to ultimate legends arcade

[@Pitbull0669]

Glad someone jumped the shark and called bullshit. 😂 They will keep giving us shit if noone says other wise. Wait tgey don't care what we think lol

[@aaronbergland5125]

19kfox this is your best video to date: very thorough yet concise. Keep up the great work! I was on the fence to buy this cab, so I have been waiting for an honest and detailed review before making my decision, as Arcade1up has let us all done so many times before. Sorry to see that Arcade1up continues to mislead its fanbase. As we all know, buyer's remorse doesn't lead to loyal customers, and burning their fanbase today is killing their success in the future. Sadly, I'm an optimist and I will keep holding my breath that they will get it right soon. Let's hope that day comes before they put themselves out of business.

[@laurent8789]

As I said earlier, the cab is very nice looking and the shifter is dope, but the Ridge Racer cab is superior imo, both on a technical level (60 fps in the Ridge Racer games) and on the quality of the content (5 games in Ridge Racer even though very few tracks in them). I think A1Up really nailed it with Ridge Racer.

[@danidavis7912]

Agreed. I really regret getting rid of mine now.

[@bond008a9]

A1UP deception is the norm.... Remember Simpsons cab showed large white trackball like GT and then the cab actually came with Gen1 centipede trackball that was small and yellowish.

[@frankiemartinez1755]

As usual, arcade1up one step forward, 2 steps back 🤦‍♂️

[@chrisg8820]

Great review - I was 50/50 on this and now I am holding off. The side by side comparison shows how washed out the screen is compared to the arcade version (not to mention some of the other issues you mentioned) maybe down the road if it goes cheap like Ridge Racer did for a few weeks.

[@rushmore3927]

Not just the screen, they changed to 30FPS and reduced the graphics to the point of slightly better than an N64 game. Nowhere near Game Cube level, yet alone the arcade game.

[@aaronbergland5125]

Thanks for saving me $1,200!

[@19kfox]

Glad I could help. 🦊👊🏼

[@PistNRods]

This makes me want to play the Wii port of this. Aka Crusin' and see what the gameplay is like. I only played this game once at a gameworks many years ago. Crusin' Blast is the best arcade racer I've played in years, so if it's like that I would pick this up...once it goes on sale...:)

[@bobbysarcadeworld]

Thanks for the review Fox. I share a lot of the same sentiments. I noticed right away that the marquee was washed out too. I only bought 1 and had every intention of buying another later, even situating it next to my router just in case. Now I would need to still buy 2 Ethernet cords, 2 usb adapters, and 2 usb splitters since I am lighting up the coin doors with retro530s coin light kit (another purchase), just to maybe have a better chance it will run better. At this point I am going to hold off until I know for a fact it won’t glitch over wired. So disappointing. You would think after so much time Arcade1up would fine tune their shortcomings and go forward based off community feedback. There are always a few things that feel like such an oversight, like why not have a cutout behind the pedals like ridge racer and outrun? Having to run a cord underneath and out the back and into the cab seems so backwards 🤦‍♂️

[@BigTea]

Cut content, downgraded graphics and $1200 spent to play janky 300 ping multiplayer. Wow. Why can't they just get it right?

[@hotblocktv]

The best arcade reviews on your channel in my opinion thank you for confirming my thought process I would not buy this one the other arcade companies out there that do a better faster and furious💎💎💎💎

[@sidnomani728]

Great honest review!!! Bullshit cabinet, doesnt even look like the arcade version.

[@CHQArcade]

Argh! The lag on the multi player is completely unacceptable for a Local Network. I have no nostalgia for this game so wasn't going to pick it up, but far too many BIG issues here. That rumble feature needs to be intense. Does Arcade 1up want to borrow my old N64 Rumble Pak? Pretty sure it could give a more haptic feedback experience. Cheers for putting this information out there man, really good review. Just another swing and a miss from Arcade 1up

[@videogamevegasYeOldeAccount]

19kfox, This is the review I was waiting for! Needed to know the totality of features of the experience (part of it, linked play). After the initial Arcade1up announcement for this cab, it sounded AMAZING! The only wrinkle for me was 30fps, which unfortunately was only the first thread in this unravel. As more information came out from the WONDERFUL folks in the community, I began to lose hope for the cab. As the first reviews came out, single play experiences, the graphics weren't my cup of tea as I had seen the actual arcade machines in person. In fact, Arcade1up's graphics didn't remind me anywhere near the arcade. Yours was the only review so far that confirmed what my eye balls were seeing. In other reviews, I thought it might just be me, who thought, from the footage, that the graphics and draw-in looked crappy? Maybe it was the cameras they were using? But no, I'm glad your review pointed this out clearly, and I now know I'm not going crazy. And OH MY, that glitch-eee-ness in the two player experience. Such a letdown. THANK YOU FOX for making the purchases and letting us know your thoughts! This did save me money as I won't be purchasing this cab. And I'm also not considering it at a lower price. Even at $200, this isn't an experience worth the real estate in my arcade (however, I'm INCREDIBLY HAPPY for those who are loving this cab). I'm getting the Buy Stuff Store mod kit for my Out Run. Having Hydro Thunder, Crazy Taxi and Daytona added to my arcade for a fraction of the price of a Fast And Furious... I mean, Drift split in two parts, will be more worth it to me. Have a great day! vgv

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Good Job Fox! 👍

[@19kfox]

My man! 🦊👊🏼

[@richwatson1985]

Great review. Very detailed. But obviously you don’t think they’re that bad. Otherwise you’d sell both. But you’re keeping one. A part of you likes it :)

[@petermacnab1871]

Why not return both of the cabs ?

[@mikeyyoon]

Looks like he added the lit coin doors already so not sure if you can return it

[@sls78..]

I would return them anyway. Best Buy isn't going to be that thorough when returning it.

[@BigTea]

@@sls78.. I'd absolutely be returning this if best buy allows it. Asking $600 for a very misleading experience is plain bullshit.

[@sls78..]

@@BigTea I completely agree with you. Very disappointed in Arcade1up being so deceitful.

[@Riiiiiiiiiiiiiip]

Great Review we are on your side Fox!! Thanks!!

[@mikeyyoon]

When the only improvement worth mentioning is the product packaging 😅

[@atranfanatic]

Dude I was so looking forward to your review on this cabinet and you didn't disappoint! I swear we are brothers from another man. We practically think alike on if something is good or really bad. When you said the games were some crappy PS2 port I lol'd hard man. And I still think they grabbed the Cruisn' from the Wii (which I've watched game footage and even grabbed the game for my modded Wii) or maybe the Drift from PSP and tweaked them by sprinkling and cramming the F&F arcade stuff and then called it an arcade port. Which it clearly is not. I say the only good thing out of the F&F A1up cabinet is the 4 speed shifter which I am going to make my own to run on my PC modded, sit down Ridge Racer. I also have to say and even with them having to tweak and change certain things on the Outrun cabinet. The F&F is the worst racing cabinet they have produced so far. And with that said, no hate towards anybody that enjoys the cabinet for what it is. But if I pre-ordered this cabinet and found out I was majorly duped and mislead. I would have cancelled my pre-order right away. I doubt I would have even picked it up if it was slashed to $299 like my Ridge Racer was. As I would totally throw a PC in it and mod it like I did my Ridge Racer A1up. Keep up the great content man! And congrats to 100 Sunday shows! And many more to come!

[@petermarasco1105]

You hit the nail on the head, couldn't have said it better myself. Should have been Drift cab with 1 game, like T2. Swing and a miss

[@brianaustin3454]

Good review. I usually don’t like your videos because they seem like Clickbait, but this is one of the best reviews for FF cab.

[@andrewk2996]

You can get ethernet adaptor strip ports that can be plugged into a router. So if your router only has 2 ports its not a problem. Ive never used one myself but theyre on Amazon pretty cheap. Thanks for the review

[@packerbkr44]

Fox, thanks for the honest review. I was barely interested in this cabinet, but I've been known to impulse buy. After seeing your review, I am 💯 % out. Not a chance, and what a joke. I can't believe how terrible it looks and the number of issues. Completely disappointed. I own a Ridge Racer cabinet, and I'll mod it with the buy stuff arcades racing kit. Terrible work, Arcade1up.

[@ShotgunSean138]

This is honestly a great review! Thank you for saying exactly how you feel with pros n cons with no bs!

[@scottboehmer1975]

Disappointing to hear these cabs have so many issues. In particular, the head to head performance looks pretty inexcusable, particularly given the investment that's needed. Although I'm sure the games themselves are fun enough if you can overlook the issues. Depending on the price you sell for I might be interested in picking up that second cab for a Buy Stuff mod.

[@rushmore3927]

You're being way too gracious. This is misleading, since not really an arcade game. A1Up jumped the shark and landed on coral.

[@cmart7307]

Yeah, it's a damn shame because I was considering getting two but at this point even if the price went down, I'll pass. Rather invest on a Light gun game set ups and a nice DIY racing rigs and continue updating my WFH office. This release should give all those who want a Daytona and a Crusin cab second thoughts. Smh. Keep up the great work and as always, stay clean, stay safe and game on my brotha!

[@bozocalvinjr2134]

Wow u made good sense for me not to buy it one of boxes got redirected back to the warehouse as of this evening Fed Express messed up my delivery yesterday and today smh and now I got so upset with them messing up my delivery told Best Buy to refund my money back

[@19kfox]

You dodged a bullet my friend.

[@bozocalvinjr2134]

I sure did and your final thoughts was on points thanks so much appreciated buddy

[@MrPhlypc]

Smart move

[@NixReviews]

Loke I told the arcade1up community. Buyers remorse. Fnf is the worst arcade1up released to date. Its T2 all over again but worse! Pass pass pass

[@charleychuck]

I skipped right to the two player section of ur video and that section killed any chance of me buying this if it came in XL down the road. Kinda kills the daytona linked cabs hooe too. I’ll stick to my Buystuff original. Time to add some pcb power that isn’t laughable.

[@chickenfkeryay]

I think the poor Linking of this game will make them do better on daytona

[@pettymp67]

So, they did this instead of a XL Williams cabinet with Robotron 2084, Defender, Stargate, and SmashTV? Ridiculous. I've been waiting to buy a cabinet with Robotron 2084 for over a year. I wanted it to be an Arcade1Up, but I'm losing hope.

[@don.c.1056]

🕹️🕹️🕹️Hey Fox, nice work… CHALLENGE!!! Can we get some tutorials on how to connect other arcade1up cabinets for head to head play in different ways (wired directly or wirelessly) Like Brawlers, NBA Jam, modded cabinets with raspberry pi, Super Console Xs or hard drives etc. Thanks, Homie 🕹️🕹️🕹️

[@mikemetheny1086]

What a disaster. I have a 19YO w/ special needs that LOVES racing games and FF. I was going to encourage him to buy this until I watched your review. Thanks for saving the both of us a huge disappointment!

[@traviswright456]

I wanted this cab soo bad. But when I got a chance to play it before buying it I realized how crappy the driving mechanics are and the fact that it is only ONE GAME CHOPPED INTO 2 GAMES. They failed on this one in my opinion. I'm glad I didn't purchase one. Thanks for the honest, awesome review. 👍🤙

[@resellerworldnj]

The only cab I plan on maybe getting one day is Time Crisis. Their quality of games is all across the board. Some games good. Some crap. They need good quality across the board. They know better. This cab looks like it really sucks. You didn’t double your pleasure here.😊

[@GenGamesUniverse]

I'm glad I'm going for the Ridge Racer cab instead of FATF because simply put, I can't stand due to back injury (I have a slipped disc and sciatica), and buystuffarcades are doing a sit down conversion for Ridge Racer which is great as well as the main game box for that cabinet (I probably wont get that since I want to play stuff like other Raw Thrills games i.e. Batman, Fast & Furious (proper version) and other racing games like Mario Kart GP/GP2 etc.

[@gothamcityarcade]

It damn shame of the downfall of arcade1up! It sound like Fast and Furious cab/cabs are trash and everyone should wait for a clearance sale! If arcade1up can't produce better cab going forward, arcade1up will be ending 2024! Great video and review 19kfox.... FYI I still say that #shelion opening to her video was awesome! No disrespect to you battle...

[@patrickhawthorneLS]

I hope this garbage cheap add rip off company NEVER get their hands on a sega cab Why would anyone buy from this... company ? These cabs are like barebone child toys compared to actual arcade cabinets

[@Grasshopper-KI]

Cab is skinny too. Next to ridge racer drift looks 40% thinner. Not sure why people keep pre ordering cabs from scammer DB John D. 1 up will never ever give us what they advertise. Surprised no one sues this company and puts them out of business

[@Charmander009]

Hopefully everyone hates this so that it gets discounted to 200 bucks and I’ll get it . I don’t care about graphics , If it’s fun it’s fun . Nobady cares about graphics in Nintendo and Atari days

[@shannonzahn9318]

Thank you Fox! I'm sorry this was a turd. I was afraid of it though. Arcade 1up just cannot get it right. Thank you for doing this, and now we know they cannot even link a cabinet correctly. One other note to you... I am in Tennessee visiting my sister for the next 2 months. She has no wifi and no computer. So I won't be catching your shows live until I get home. I saw your 100th while I was being layed over at Chicago Midway airport. Unfortunately I will be doing your replays as I can. I never want to miss your show. You are must watch! Worst case, I will be doing a ton of catch up when I get back home.

[@dddtrump]

Have you tried a crossover cable to connect the 2 cabs directly together? It could work.

[@marathonfreak67]

I was thinking the same thing for a split second but I'm guessing the IP assignment is via DHCP.

[@mikelucas3272]

The game is still great especially after the update.Comparing this to the arcade makes no sense,the graphics are still better than ridge racer and the build quality is better.

[@RyanCoomer]

Arcade 1up sucks now ): so sad to see the company turn into dumpster fire

[@Bobbypinker]

I'm so glad I'm not into this game, because if I got one of these, I'd be really disappointed. I really hope they figure out how to nail Time Crisis, that's the only thing on the horizon I want.

[@redstonecommander5190]

5:58 the reason why you didn’t scan your barcode because it’s probably just a bug so hopefully your companion app will probably have a bug fix. Where are you are a barcode can be able to be configured to except this time

[@WWRNC]

Damn, dude. What a bummer. I expected the gameplay to at least be “playable”, but this is just hideous. Best case scenario is the sales tank and these go on sale quickly so I can mod one!

[@MadaoAU]

In regards to the wiring not only or sucks that you need to connect it like this, but can you imagine how much of a hurdle jt is when most have these things in a garage, to get the modem itself in there ? Good luck keeping non laggy connection with wifi

[@techpappee]

Dude, just but a switch. Add the ports to your router. 4,8,12 however many more you need.

Thanks so much I almost broke down and bought it. I’m so glad I didn’t. U da man 🦊

[@waterinthedesert81]

$400 should've been always been the price point period!

[@taylorgalpin9728]

The linkable gameplay looked super glitchy. That and the graphical side by side killed it for me.

[@ReallyPhilly215]

As I child I've played this game this is nothing how I remember wtf was is the cab like that I love this game but this is a no no

[@JohnnyDollar720]

I learned my lesson with T2. Fool me once A1. You can’t just run the two cabs to a switch?

[@carlo1132]

My money says wait, 600 bucks is alot of scratch for this cabinet. Sorry its a letdown but we can't say the pattern wasn't already there to disappoint. I'll hold the line for a lower price as I still need a dedicated driver, esp if Buystuff can mod this out. Has anyone identified what the actual PCB is in this cabinet, why is this information top secret?

[@user-jm8bj1hd3d]

Not even RawThrills working on this could save it. Yikes.

Awesome review Fox! Very thorough and in depth dive into it. I think this is a cool looking cab, and could be a lot of fun ( if you don't have a racer yet), but is a major let down that the link cab was not working all that great and that there is only the one game. Jury is still out for me.
