SNK MVSX HOME ARCADE - 8 months later - STILL ONE OF THE TOP OPTIONS IN THE HOME ARCADE MARKET?

Let’s take a look at the SNK Neo Geo Home Arcade almost a year later after its big initial launch. This home arcade features 50 Neo Geo classic arcade games such as Metal Slug, Fatal Fury, King of Fighters etc. Is this cabinet still one of the top options out there in the home arcade market? #mvsx #neogeo #homearcade

[@Wiimanonwheels]

This cabinet is honestly amazing had mine sense launch, and once the hylo hack was released it really brought out the power in this cabinet with the neogeo games as well as capcoms arcade games, which im happy about especially sense arcade 1up cabinets are becoming very expensive

[@saturncrush]

1up looks like the same pricing to me.

[@n00bprof82]

I think people buying 10pm for the art work and the cabinet as decoration… I have few pandora boxes… definitely better than this if counting how many games.. I would buy this if price is right. For me, 399$ is good. But as inflation and shipping cost now day.. I don’t think that is going to happen soon…

[@soulred5195]

This cab was a hard sell for me, but I'm glad I got it. Lots of great games, and a surprising amount of variety even with the huge amount of fighting games. Brings back fond memories of me and my friends walking to our local Walmart every day during the summer to play Samurai Shodown!!!

[@3rdFloorArcade]

I agree it’s got a decent variety and all the Neo Geo heavy hitters like Metal Slug, KOF, Fatal Fury etc. That’s a great memory there - Samurai Showdown at the local Walmart!!

[@DiscoJoseph]

Do the games have difficulty settings?

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

[@3rdFloorArcade]

Thanks for checking out the video! Do you have the MVSX?

[@mdchann]

They had a livestream with Bill from Unico (on the Unqualified Critics channel) and they mentioned that the new wave of MVSX cabinets will have better buttons and joysticks, plus other additions, and the price will stay the same. I think I will wait until the holidays before buying this. Looks nice!

[@3rdFloorArcade]

I saw that livestream on UC’s channel. That’s pretty awesome they are making those nice upgrades and keeping the same price. Thanks for checking the video out mdchann 👍

Such a good cabinet picked this one up back in May. But just recently built it about 2 months ago. I appreciate your videos your the reason why I picked up this cabinet and the marvel vs capcom cabinet

[@3rdFloorArcade]

Great pickups man, the MVSX and Marvel vs Capcom are two of my favorites. Thanks so much for supporting the channel, I really appreciate it! 👍

[@nerychristian]

I love the look of the cabinet. Probably my favorite looking cabinet of all of them. It has very classic looks.

[@thomasb3668]

No denying that this cab just looks amazing. Tbh, I didn't play a lot of neo geo games back in the day, I think I played King of Monsters a few times. It would definitely look awesome in my game room tho =-)

[@3rdFloorArcade]

Oh man King of Monsters was great back in the day! I think the MVSX at 499 is a lot of bang for the buck with Arcade1up up to $600 or over per cab. 👍

Honestly think I’ll be getting one of these once I get moved into a new place. Just seems like a no brainer for a good cab especially if you have friends over frequently to play multiplayer.

[@xXhiwakaXx]

Also one of my wish list cabs to get at a later date(as in the Mvsx cab). You plan on getting the T2 and/or Tron cabs to add as part of your collection if they're released? And as always great video on a top fav cab that is the Mvsx!

[@3rdFloorArcade]

Thanks my friend, much appreciated! I love both the T2 and Tron cabs. The Tron looks great but I’m passing on that one (I think). I want to pick up the T2 cab but I’m waiting to see what other games will be on there first. I really want the X-men cab, that one I’m definitely getting 👍

[@BluCanti]

Super surprised that Puzzle Bobble or Windjammers isn't on this.

[@3rdFloorArcade]

Yeah those 2 games definitely would have been perfect for this cabinet.

[@CombatandCollecting]

Probably not a better value in the home arcade market. Great video Jason where does this rank in your most played cabs?

[@3rdFloorArcade]

Thanks dude I really appreciate that. This ranks easily in my top 3 most played cabs next to the iiRcade and the Marvel vs Capcom A1UP.

[@viciousvictortee1298]

I got Mine. I love it. The sticks are ok. But Im gonna swap the buttons. If Unico were to upgrade anything. I would upgrade the buttons. They dont compliment the package they put together! Regardless. Great (edit "3/4") CAB!

[@3rdFloorArcade]

I agree with you on the buttons, that’s my least favorite thing on there. Overall, I’m a big fan of the MVSX 👍

[@richd7178]

Looks awesome,and definitely want to order this as my next cab. Is Turf Masters on this?

[@3rdFloorArcade]

Great cab! And it’s awesome value for the money in today’s market. Neo Turf Masters is unfortunately not on there. That’s one of my favorite Neo Geo titles too. The only golf game on the MVSX is Top Players Golf.

[@richd7178]

Ah man bummer but thanks for the info!

[@cfshine78]

Hey Jason, just curious what's the square footage of your game room? I'm looking at buying a house and one of the rooms is potentially going to be my arcade room so I want to get an idea of what I should look for. Thanks.

[@3rdFloorArcade]

Hey Conor Thanks for checking out the video! My game room is about 20x12 so it’s roughly 240 square feet.

[@mrblonde609]

I will buy this thing some day. But i am absolutely disappointed that Windjammers and Neo Turf Masters aren't on it.

[@3rdFloorArcade]

Yeah I agree those two games definitely should’ve been on this machine ⛳️

[@mrblonde609]

​@@3rdFloorArcade Do you think these exact cabinets will be produced for a couple of years longer? Maybe i will buy one of these next year but i hope they are in stock when it happens. I mean they seem to be somewhat of a success, since they are producing them for 2 years now. So i hope i can buy one in the next 1-2 years.

[@TheBigExclusive]

Would you say owning the MVSX Home Arcade is better than owning an actual original full size Neo Geo Arcade cabinet? The kind you would see in arcades in the 1990s. If given the choice between the 2, which would you choose?

[@3rdFloorArcade]

I would definitely take an original machine over the MVSX. 👍

[@TychiBalls]

Great 👍 video. I see you have the USB connected by the icon in the bottom left of the menu. Did you get the Hylo X hack installed. Too bad its no longer available. Btw, I think Sengoku is pronounced Sen-go-ku instead of Se-no-ko. At least thats what it sounded like. Lol

[@3rdFloorArcade]

Thanks man, really appreciate that! You are totally correct on Sengoku, I botched that one! That game is great by the way. Yeah I got the Hylo way back when it was available. Neo Geo forever my dude 👍

I had to over clock just slight game cpu to get rid of original native to many pixels studder to full smooth game.

[@handboneshobbies2555]

Jason, how would that stand next to the Iircade? I’ll be maxed out in my basement room with the MDX. Let me know what you think brother, your always my deciding factor before purchasing.

[@3rdFloorArcade]

That’s a tough one my friend as I LOVE both the MVSX and the iiRcade. If you are willing to spend $700 I’d go iiRcade if you only have space for one more. The MVSX at $500 is 100% worth it though so try and get both my man!

[@jayrod377]

Jason, do you speculate they’ll release a revision to the MVSX in the near future, possibly increasing the screen size to 19”, perhaps putting it inline with the iircade?

[@3rdFloorArcade]

@@jayrod377 they actually did a revision just recently with the mvsx, upgrading the speakers and also the buttons with all the new units.

Any thoughts on the pinball machines from 1up they look kind of cheap.

[@3rdFloorArcade]

I ended up passing on the A1UP pinball. I almost pulled the trigger on the Star Wars pinball. But I think I’m going to wait for Arcade1Up’s next wave of pinball to see if they work out some of the issues. I’m also hoping they increase the playfield size and add more tables to each machine.

[@soulred5195]

I really like the Star Wars table myself, but the Arcade1up pinballs did recently take a huge price jump from around $600 to almost $900 at most retailers. I'm glad I got mine, it's well worth what they were previously charging in my opinion, but $900 is a bit much. I'd say check out the Legends Ultimate pinball, it's a bit cheaper, and you do get a bigger playfield, more games and the ability to add even more.

[@christophmalone6388]

I just picked up the Star Wars A1UP pinball right before the price hike, and I love it! It’s a lot of fun and has seen a lot of use. $550 (the old price) was a fair price for it, but I can’t really recommend it at the new $850 price. If you see it for 550 anywhere though, jump on it
