Retro-Cade Multicades At Chicago Pinball Expo 2024! Awesome!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

It was very nice meeting the Retro-Cade Team and seeing their Multicade Arcade Machines at Chicago Pinball Expo 2024! Look forward to them coming on to Multicade Mondays soon for an interview! Let me know what you think of these custom built arcade machines below!

[@YourRetro-Cade]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@Triumph_or_Die]

I own one of their 2-player cabinets and it is the showpiece of my arcade collection!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

I'm jealous! Nice man!

[@michaelwaynewoosley8590]

Very nice set up I'm drooling over here. .. thanks for sharing

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@ChrisNxNW]

I’m drooling over the BttF build….and the pedestal with the built in tv. Looked these guys up earlier this year and am very still interested but the prices are the hurdle I’d need to get over. These guys and Extreme Home Arcades outta Wisconsin make some sweet looking stuff.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Great feedback thank you

[@RafConUSMC]

These machines look amazing!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

I know right?!

[@jombeemeanstroke6426]

They say the cause of suffering is desire, and man, am I suffering right now with desire for these machines! They look so awesome.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

@@jombeemeanstroke6426 hahaha lol 😂 great comment

[@ScottParisi]

Love these guys. Met them at Expo last year, then saw them at Pintastic, PinFest and Expo this year. Stand up, knowledgeable team.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

@@ScottParisi Yeah they were super cool dudes!

[@johnmcgovern60]

These are awesome cabinets! Ill definitely have to have one once money allows.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

They sure are impressive!

[@Th3DarkCanuck]

That's some quality stuff.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Pretty insane! Lol I like the drawers

[@billkirby75]

I checked those out when I was there. They're pretty badass 👍

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

@@billkirby75 I agree my dude!

[@BrettBurnell]

York is about a 1/2 hour from me! Will have to check them out. I bought my full size multicade from a company in Hanover, PA

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

@@BrettBurnell oh very nice!

[@multicadematt]

Great info. The juke box feature of the Back to the Future cab was impressive. I was surprised to see them there based on licensing concerns. It was great to hang out with you this week my friend. Unfortunately we have to go back to work on Monday.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

You and me both! Back to work Monday! Always great to see you!

[@carlo1132]

Good stuff for sure, big bad @ss Multicades!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

They're so cool!

[@RichieCavsRetrocade]

I'm not a huge multicade guy but GOD DAMN those are nice!

[@720erik2]

Pretty cool reminds me of the dude Daniel Spies who makes similar multi-cades.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

I'm not familiar with Daniel Spies. I'll have to look him up.

[@tango2895]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Awesome video I follow a KZbinr that goes by the name of D Thomas from NC he has one of those cabinets in his home and he did a review on it and I'm very interested in💸💸 buying one in the future🤞🏽

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

They look crazy fun!

[@troymcdonald]

Can go up to (“I don’t wanna mention the price”) 🤣🤣💥💥💥

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

There are tooooo many options but yea very high

[@GalagaGuy88]

James and I tried to play these, picking the game was tricky, after not being able to choose the game we wanted it randomly gave us Street Fighter 2. We were ok with it until we found the controls were wonky. My up didn’t respond correctly and I think his kick didn’t. I came back again later, tried to use a controller instead and it wouldn’t connect. It could be user error on my part, but it was not a good experience for me.

[@YourRetro-Cade]

Hey hate to hear you had a bad experience! Navigation is pretty simple as it's only a select and an exit. As far as the controls being wonky it depends what system you played street fighter 2 in. If you played it from the arcade menu the controls should mirror the arcade. If you played it from another menu it would mirror whatever controller that system has. As far as the controllers go, we normally have them off for the show as with 13 machines there you have to sync it per machine and it's just easier to keep them off unless someone asks us we don't have them plugged in.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Sorry to hear about your experience!

[@GalagaGuy88]

@@YourRetro-Cade yes we tried select and exit, they unfortunately just kept rearranging the menu. When we got in to Street fighter 2 I would have to hit up on the arcade stick 3 or 4 times to get my character to jump. It was really weird. Maybe a fluke incident. They look great and I’m not trying to dog on the product, just wish I had a better experience. Maybe next time!

[@YourRetro-Cade]

@@GalagaGuy88 do you know which machine you used? Would like to check it out and make sure there wasn't a button issue

[@GalagaGuy88]

@@YourRetro-Cadewhen the video starts, it shows all the machines, directly under your RETROCADE sign there are two larger machines. I believe it was the one on the left.

[@TheBigb1973]

Very cool cabs! However, for $4,000+ I would rather fill my room with 1ups to get the arcade room vibe. I'm currently in the process of modding all my cabs into multicades to get rid of 1ups' short lifespan PCBs. I already turned my blitz cab into a real blitz arcade for the late hits and swearing lol.

[@YourRetro-Cade]

@@TheBigb1973 hey! Our website is being updated but we have 2 players that start at $2,000 and a 4-player that starts at $3,600

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

@@TheBigb1973 well, we all love the late hits for sure lol

[@johnmcclane2139]

The website doesn't have the Elite options for 2 player arcades.

[@jaymecernicka5212]

Josh said he will be updating the website soon. He updated his lineup fairly recently. I’m ordering my custom 2-player elite this week.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

You can always email them, contact info on their website, etc.

[@YourRetro-Cade]

Yup! Website will be updated shortly but you are always free to send us an email or give us a call and we can get you started.

[@TheCornerCade]

LFG!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Lol LFG!

[@TheRetroMachineTV]

I’ve checked them out thoroughly and considered buying one. This company is insanely overpriced for what they offer. The software is outdated, the light gun tech is far from the best at that price, really the list goes on and on. I was shocked what their pricing was for the poor quality. They are so proud of the drawer though! The drawer is all they’ve got.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

@@TheRetroMachineTV appreciate the feedback!

[@Fast3ddie]

Out of your budget does not equal overpriced.

[@TheRetroMachineTV]

@@Fast3ddie but it wasn’t out of budget for me. I’m just not stupid, I did my homework on home arcade builders in America and this one is overpriced for the product.

[@orangewhipster]

How is any of this legal? Are these legally licensed ROMs? Did they get Nintendo's approval for use of their logo and other artwork and games?!? I don't understand how companies like this exist when compared to cabinets like 1ups or any other that is legally licensed. There is no way they have licensed 60,000 games on a machine. So, how does this work? Does one buy one and then have to be worried about having it taken away because it's illegal? I get it if an individual builds their own, but a company that profits off of illegally obtained ip?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Nobody is coming to your house to take your Arcade away.

[@orangewhipster]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft that's not really my point.

[@TheRetroMachineTV]

Dude…..relax. The people who buy these machines are the same people who drive the industry by buying consoles, games, 1Ups, digital downloads, etc.

[@orangewhipster]

Again....not my point. What in my comment or responses needs me to calm down? I'm not excited nor upset or mad at all....it's a 100% legit question. How are companies like this allowed to exist when they are essentially selling stolen goods?

[@TheRetroMachineTV]

@@orangewhipster yeah, they’re all over Amazon. It’s all out in the open. Nintendo goes after websites that host their IP content, but no one seems to go after drive builders, probably because it’s like playing whack-a-mole. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze. It’s probably like the cops who let you always go 5 mph over the speed limit, they don’t want to be chasing down every single person. Much content is also lost to rights management hell (like Mr. Do and Ladybug) and owned by companies who bought out other companies and don’t even bother to monetize the IP. Nintendo seems to be the only company that ever acts, and even then they’re lax. Five Below was even selling handhelds with Nintendo IP on there.

[@PaulXMann]

You kidding us, Pdubs? These are huge, ugly, and overpriced... they all look generic as hell. No thanks, not even with Pdubs' money. 😆

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

@@PaulXMann lol you just love that Arcade1up Logo, 🤣
