I'll wait to see what else they put out down the road. I like my VS, and I'm not interest in paying over $200 for a handful of fighting games and beat em ups that are a pain in the butt to play with 2 players.

[@stevemahoney5209]

Likewise 😊

[@jmatt781]

@@stevemahoney5209 Playing Street Fighter against a CPU gets old, and it's only a small fraction of the enjoyment that you can get out of those games. They're really the most fun with a second person. They definitely could have found some great single player titles, and if they did I think this release would have gone a lot better. Also, over $200 if they had an HDMI out so that you could use the mini cab like a VS, they would have been brilliant. If people are already willing to shell out that much money for one of those systems, at that point, why not just charge a little bit more and include an HDMI out port? By not doing so, they really turned a lot of potential customers away.

[@jayme69]

I really don't need an Alpha but was going to pre-order the standard Mega Man edition on Amazon UK and discovered, like you did, that it's "Currently Unavailable". It was really just going to be a place holder to secure the £30 saving if I felt as though I wanted one nearer Christmas. There's no way I was giving Funstock money up front as I've had issues with them in the past. Anyway, I'll probably just live vicariously through your videos when you get yours and save myself a couple of hundred pounds :-) Great video as always and keep up the awesome work!

[@wssayer]

Thankfully I hadn't used my 20% Funstock voucher which I got with my limited edition EXP, so I've ordered the Megaman deluxe for £199.

[@CrazyBurger]

Wow nice one.

[@cyrollan]

smart thinking!

[@jmatt781]

Sweet!

[@user-xn7mi2gb3d]

cabinets much better on the megaman ❤

[@NeoTechni]

I like the design, but none of the games. If they release an Alpha-R I'll get it

[@OriginalGrasshopper]

That blue Alpha controller is sweeeet! Hopefully they will sell them separately later on.

[@cyrollan]

one can hope, but i doubt it. companies pull that kind of trick to get people to buy the higher dollar items.

[@DavidFalconer-np4bo]

Good video. Think my mind is made up and by the time it arrives for Xmas I’ll have completely forgotten about the £250 🤣

[@CrazyBurger]

Lol thanks. 🤣

[@OwtDaftUK]

If I had the spare cash i'd have gone with the Mega Man as well since this is better suited for single player games and the art work on the side is better.

[@MIK_F40]

Nice one Crazy! Sneaky move pre-ordering one on Amazon but I like your thinking. 👍 I went deluxe Street Fighter in the end as you know. I wanted the best controls that will last as we have 100's & 100's of games on carts that can make use of the stick! Will be a lot of fun messing with them in an arcade form factor. One bonus with the standard Alpha, if you upgrade the controls you can have any colour buttons or stick top you like! Megaman still the best looking one of the two Alpha's. One thing I noticed, Megaman speaker's are higjer than Street Fighter so not to spoil the artwork as much. 😉 Btw my womans tablet died tonight, pain. At least it died when she was playing some Facebook game so I am not to blame lol.

[@CrazyBurger]

Lol oh no. You'll be told to cancel the Alpha and get her a new tablet!

[@MIKandJEAN]

Test, testing, 1, 2, 3... Got one and she finally let me have a go lol. I was thinking, we'll see you in November when the Alpha comes out but we got some new cart announcements yet. 😃

[@obsoleteworlds]

I don't get why there would be FOMO over this as, unlike any other Evercade/Funstock exclusives, they confirmed that these are not limited in stock and will stay in production. There seems to be less reason than ever to preorder and giving them your money now when these will remain available. I suppose if you absolutely must have one on release date, otherwise everyone who wants one should be fine.

[@CrazyBurger]

You can have FOMO for anything. Though arguably this device could be the least "Must have" product they've released.

[@Bionicleforever]

I’d really like to know what the sanwa buttons are like or even look, seems like the same stock photos for both. The rest of the extras seem like fluff tho so it’s pretty hard decision

[@CrazyBurger]

Need to do some research I think. I'm not an expert, first I'd heard of Sanwa this week..

[@cyrollan]

haha, yeah who's clamoring for a certificate of authenticity? does Blaze anticipate knock-off units?

[@Bionicleforever]

@@cyrollan for real lol

[@korbendallas71]

Wife ordered me the deluxe megaman version 😮😊😊

[@CrazyBurger]

What a wife you have!

[@willrobinson7599]

Ive ordered the premium mega man one as for the extra £50 quid worth the sanwa buttons and extra controller Like u i dont need as have all the other hardware released but with final fight couldnt help it lol

[@amyn64]

For the USA, I had to order it from Songbird productions. I was not able to get the $229.99 USD promotional as I had to pay $239.95 + $10 insured shipping.

[@CrazyBurger]

Wow. More expense. That's a shame you can't get the promotional offer.

[@amyn64]

@@CrazyBurger I ran the numbers and the amount would have been about the same. There was a discount on the taxes.

[@damageinc5752]

So you can't get the version with the better buttons in the USA? Songbird don't have it.

[@amyn64]

@@damageinc5752 no, unfortunately. I'm fine with the standard version though.

[@obsoleteworlds]

That's weird as Blaze claimed that Funstock would be shipping direct from the USA for customers there so that there would be no extra costs.

[@MarquisDeSang]

Why no HDMI out? Cannot use it as a controller for the VS.

[@CrazyBurger]

Why do you need an HDMI out?

[@MarquisDeSang]

@@CrazyBurger To play the games inside on a human size screen.

[@CrazyBurger]

@@MarquisDeSang but why? Just buy a game stick. It's miles cheaper.

[@MarquisDeSang]

@@CrazyBurger I want the included games that won't be released on cartriges.

[@CrazyBurger]

@@MarquisDeSang don't worry you're not alone, there's a few want this feature. I've no idea why. It's most likely a license thing or maybe just decided unnecessary.

[@JustinCardiff]

I’m not giving funstock an interest free loan for six months.

[@CrazyBurger]

I dont blame you. We are basically ground funding.

[@user-xn7mi2gb3d]

How thick is the mdf cabinet?

[@stevemahoney5209]

Will the included wall plug be branded Alpha Blue like the Ltd Ed controller 😅😅

[@dirkb9788]

What I liked about Evercade was that I could build a complete collection for an affordable price. Thanks to this decision by Blaze, this is no longer the case. I am now considering selling my entire collection and focusing elsewhere. Too bad because I liked Evercade.

[@wssayer]

Why now though? That all changed when they released the EXP with the Capcom collection installed. Just ignore the Alpha, it changes nothing about what you already have.

[@cyrollan]

at some point you have to evaluate how important it is to have a complete collection of anything. are you doing it to post pics on Instagram? as an investment, in hopes to sell the whole collection for lots of $$$ in the future? please don't take any of this as an insult, it's just something to think about. you don't have to stop liking Evercade, you can still enjoy the ecosystem and the games.

[@EnjoySynthSounds]

If you need a cheaper Arcade table top, try the Powkiddy A13. It has HDMI out and blutoorh controler support. Not as good as these, but hey ho.

[@cyrollan]

i don't need one of these, but i want one. if i found $300 in my couch cushions, i would buy one; but for now my money's going to car repairs and the occasional cart. it is VERY cool though!

[@novelty8theory494]

First

[@MrKlawUK]

can you buy the marquees separately?

[@CrazyBurger]

@@MrKlawUK not sure, I'd expect we will at some point.

[@nomadlonestar8004]

These table top arcades are a waste of money as far as I'm concerned. Blaze should spend more time putting out more carts and fixing the update issue's. I am never going to play my evercade game's on such a small tabletop cabinet.

[@CrazyBurger]

I do agree with you. Not necessarily the route I'd like to see them go.

[@nomadlonestar8004]

@@CrazyBurger oh definitely not. I'm still going to buy the cartridges and keeping the full set going but it's so deflating when they announce stuff like This. We all know it never usually ends well when to much hardware gets put out in such a short time span. Sega being a good example.

[@CrazyBurger]

@@nomadlonestar8004 ah bloody sega. The reason I ditched getting a Saturn and plumped for PlayStation instead. Despite the nonsense of 32x and Mega CD.. I still enjoyed playing Doom 32x and Snatcher.

[@nomadlonestar8004]

@@CrazyBurger I was also a Saturn guy back in the day. Then eventually the PS1. They definitely had some good games despite being add ons. The Sega mega CD was amazing for the time. The 32X however truly didn't need to exist.

[@cyrollan]

why is it a waste of money? people are obviously pre-ordering them. there is interest. you're getting an actual product, not throwing money in the furnace.

[@esteban670]

Giving it a miss for now

[@OM19_MO79]

You bought one?!?! After all the rant and anger displayed because of the broken carts, you welcomed the insult to injury and paid for it!?!?

[@CrazyBurger]

There's no doubt I was extremely annoyed losing 2 carts, Team 17 and Indie Heroes 3. The toughest part is losing hours of save states. Supremely frustrating. Their quick response was appreciated, so I can't praise them enough for that. But these issues shouldn't happen as frequent. They have stalled further large updates, you may or not have noticed. There's also a lot of work going on behind the scenes, more staff, more paid testers, more investment. Changes are happening. I'm willing to give them a chance as they've done more harm than good in the last 4 years. Evercade has still been a breath of fresh air in a very boring current gen environment. Though dont get me wrong, if more issues start to appear and cart failure continues, I'll be done with it soon enough.

[@DHaworth100]

Every video game company who have done cabinets or bar tops is out of business or going bankrupt. The model doesn't work because the product is expensive to make. They make no money on the cab, they have to depend on cart sales which will be tough to do. Evercade announced that they sold over one million carts at the same time they announced the alpha. That is a red flag for me. It is like they are reassuring that buying an Alpha is a good investment, but it's not.

[@CrazyBurger]

It's definitely an odd direction for me. I dont see this being a long term strategy.

[@AltCutTV]

Difference is this thing sells other things. The other standalone cabinets usually depend fully on people having room for more of them. Though some have online purchases apparently.
