Arcade1Up Claw Machine Is Real! Yet Another Leak!

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Hey Guys, Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think of the Arcade1Up Claw Machine and are you interested in adding it to your home arcade for $499?

[@Synplex]

Just a heads up, those are large ball shaped capsules, not inflatable balls. I'm assuming arcade 1up has built this so that the claw can only capture those items and if you put your own random prizes in you'd void the warranty.😂

[@stokjock]

I'm not gonna lie...a claw machine would be pretty cool! Only issue I see from the pics is there doesn't seem to be much room for prizes

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Scarlett says we have to get it

[@crisbwilliams]

so yeah we can't get a Qbert machine but get 500 versions of Pacman and now this.. wtf.

[@KaneTime22]

My kids love claw machines. I will be pre-ordering this asap

[@R0mperSt0mper02]

If it's real, I bet it'll be a big seller. I know I'll get one.

[@jimharper5710]

Books-A-Million is a legit retailer. They also own 2nd and Charles - which is a new and second hand book, toy and videogame store.

[@common_c3nts]

Books-a-million is in a lot of malls in the US. But I never heard of 2nd and Charles.

[@ThomasGrillo]

Claw machine would be a cool addition to the home arcade scene. I mean... Why not? LOL Could put little mini arcade toys in it, or something for Christmas parties, and such. Thanks for the look at this. :)

[@lionheart6223]

I would get it. It is a nice non arcade item to your game room. I would like Arcade1up to maybe add some colors to it to make it pop a little more. Hopefully they add some cool led’s to the cabinet.

[@ChrisNxNW]

Definitely not for me but…. Whether it’s worth it or not, it can appeal to family’s with kids. TBD if it’ll be reliable enough to last very long though.

[@tedadamgreen]

I am pleased A1up is at least trying with what they have to work with these days! Not everything is what the die hards want or even like but they have a lot of new in the mix with Costco and now these two leaks this week. They trying … Lord Bless’em! Now we just need Q*Bert and Robotron!! 👊🏻😎🕹️

[@alltheparts]

I need one of these. Right FREAKING now.

[@StevesRetroGaming]

I wonder if this would with without balls? I guess I could put candy in the balls? And how many balls will this come up? Will they sell extra balls to replace broken one, or ones that kids want to take and keep? So many questions...

[@Tim_York]

MichaelB, it’s cool but I will stick to my big gum ball machine. I can hand out quarters and the grands enjoy it. I figure the toys needed to fill the bin with unlimited game play will get rich very fast. 🖖🏼

[@lethalwolf7455]

Damn you, now I want a big gumball machine

[@Tim_York]

@@lethalwolf7455 The sad part was I had to buy a restaurant to get it. It’s a lot easier to buy a claw machine.

[@katsujinken10]

My girlfriwnd really wants a Claw Machine. I was considering the one made by Vevor.. Can the build quality control of A1U really be trusted?

[@madastra]

I think this aesthetically looks great. My only concerns are its durability and how well the claw and controls are able to handle various objects

[@jimharper5710]

We have a huge collection of claw machine toys from our local Dave & Busters. My kids would love me to get a claw machine to store all of those in, lol.

[@tamara_kama]

Not gonna lie, I'm actually pretty excited about this one unlike the previous one (the pac-man wood grain cabaret) because this looks sizable and bigger than the typical claw machines in that price range that are maybe half the apparent size. This could potentially hold bigger prizes than those that seem to only be able to accommodate keychain sized plushies. I've been saying that I could use a claw machine to help round out my home arcade and this could be it. The only thing is this the logistics and this is a machine that would have made actual sense to have coin-op like the smaller ones in the same price range. That is unless you are okay with giving away prizes or have an understanding that people have to return the prizes and or pay for their winnings under the table so to speak.. haha Or you could start doing a ticket system where the machine has rolls of them as prizes :P

[@Synplex]

@4:08 those aren't inflatable bolts. You can clearly see their large capsules for you to put your own prizes into. I've seen these before in claw machines.

[@madastra]

Books A Million is a major U.S. bookstore that’s just been crushed in the last 10 years or so by Barnes & Noble. They’re basically the K-Mart of bookstores now

[@19kfox]

I heard it will be filled with Collectorcades.

[@KingEdAV]

Actually, I heard John D bobbleheads!

[@edt1138]

BAM is selling these? They sell some table top games and toys, but they're primarily a book store where I live. Every kid loves claw machines.

[@Mr.LegendsArcade]

Now I can do something with my massive beanie baby collection! Fill up my 1up claw machine. Take that neighborhood kids!!

[@MrMegaManFan]

Love the Expos hat (wore one when I went to Montreal on vacation and got a lot of compliments). The claw machine is cool and the price is nice but sadly I'd have no room for it anywhere!

[@NoahChinnBooks]

If I had room, I'd get one. Perfect place to store all my plushies ;) At least you could gear it to be FAIR. I hate claw machines because they're rigged to suck. Over in Japan, I actually pretty good with the claw machines because they weren't allowed to make them TOO difficult. The ones here? Fuggedaboudit.

[@alexistramirez]

To be honest I want to make remake scene of toy Story which Claw Machine where Buzz Lightyear entered the Space Crane Game and met with those 3 Eye’d Green Aliens

[@bowlsbeersbrawls]

Daughter would love it, but probably $600-700 in Canada. Plus all the prizes you have to stock. May just stick to the arcades

[@lethalwolf7455]

I’m positive on this one, to say it’s for looks only, the same argument can be made for all their cabs. Why not own one multi cab with MAME or a raspberry pi? Because you want an arcade. I want one

[@TheDeathWillCome2012]

If the Arcade1Up claw machine is really being released, will it have enough room to fill it with toys, candy, stuffed animals and maybe a few $100 bills mixed in 😊. Also how well built will it be? A home arcade claw machine would be pretty cool though.

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Im excited but still a lot of questions need to be answered on this product

[@PaulXMann]

The KEY is Alliance Entertainment... the exclusive distributor of A1U products is behind both this and the Pac-Man Plus cabaret cab. So, that goes to show the relationship is already bearing fruit, in a sense. And if I was a betting man, I'd wager it won't be the last we'll see before Christmas.

[@StrideRunner68]

Claw machine and Coin pusher are the things I'm looking for... like the At Games 4k pinball (No) but looking at ( pinball expo in Chicago ) for the factory floor experience

[@curtisrobinson-gc5dm]

Soooo....the prizes and prize balls sold separately

[@charlesb4169]

I want this for my kids, but I swear to god if it craps out and A1U pulls the Spider-Man pointing meme come warranty time… I’m going full Terry Benedict to bankrupt their brother-in-law’s tractor dealership.

[@scottboehmer1975]

I don't hate it. I'm not in love with it either. Honestly I would need to hear more about what this really is, but I can definitely see how there would be a market for this if it's priced right.

[@CA-tk8yn]

How often would someone even play this? Also consider the cost of putting prizes in it that are won and need replacing. This should be a huge build number as it caters to only a few home arcade builders. That's a lot of money to spend on what amounts to a piece of arcade art.

[@PC_TV_73]

Yep, it’s cool. 102 times and then it sits and it also depends what you could put in it if it’s just balls with candy or could you put stuff toys then you have to always have cool things for the grab machine. And because you’re not really making money with it, who’s going to stop one of my son’s friends from sitting there emptying the machine out lol. I could see this getting boring really fast though even if you have a little kid once they empty the machine out unless you keep loading it with something special I just don’t see it. I may buy it maybe but I don’t see it getting much use maybe when my son‘s friends come over But like I said because it’s not making any money who’s the top a few kids just running through the machine emptying it out so you probably would only put candy in it then because if you’re putting prizes in there you’re gonna go and spend 50 or $100 in prizesI guess that is why they are only balls because people are just gonna fill them with candy. It’s almost like my coin pusher. I have candy inside so they could push candy over the ledge with the money and that gets boring just as well lol

[@MiniRicky_]

I hope it has a working coin slot

[@ScottSalazar]

If real, take my money!

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Yeah hope it comes to Canada

[@kritsadventures]

I want like a sub $300 Arcade1Up coin pusher. A real pusher, not some plastic junk that pushes plastic coins.

[@common_c3nts]

Yes b'ye....I want a claw machine.

[@Pugyeg]

2 things you can count on arcade 1up to release: 1. Pacman 2. something terrible

[@chrismanderson8811]

Sorry, if the new pac man and this claw thing are really leaks, this is nothing more than sad, sad, sad. I have to believe both are false, otherwise it's just too obvious this company is totally lost on their target market, which should obviously be GenX first and foremost. This re-release at Infinium demonstrates real lack of focus.

[@Jon_from_LI]

Real or not, I'm missing the point of owning one. So you can have kids parties at your house? I thought the point of those machines is to get a prize that you DON'T own. What are you going to do, just fill it with plushies or some other toys that you've recently bought at a store?

[@specialagentorange4329]

Will be lots of problems with the machine. I like a claw machine but i dont trust arcade1up to make one.

[@alkohallick2901]

They couldn't get Asteroids right on the Tempest cabinet and they're doing this??

[@LXW-Arts]

Look like Im going to have to sub to this guy he seems legit.

[@uneCENT]

We all know how reviews will go, just like all A1Up products - trash. Save your money and get one from a reputable brand.

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

are there people making 3/4 size or larger claw machines for the home outside of this that are cost effective?

[@katsujinken10]

Also I agree Redemption Games like claw machines are dumb but I think people like them becauae it taps into the gambling addict part of the brain. Claw Machines are gambling.

[@jimharper5710]

Gambling (well at least slots) are chance. Claw machines take some element of skill.

Get VE VOR claw machine. Its comercial grade, a little smaller, and a lot cheaper.
