Space Ace mini-arcade joins the family. SO COOL!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I had some stupid fun making this video, turning on all the mini arcade machines, posing action figures and shooting that footage! I even turned on all the audio so it had that chaotic arcade-like noise in my game room! LOL

[@finsfish]

Sounds amazing!!!

[@Mark-mu4pj]

So cool

[@luckygreentiger]

I'd much rather have these retro machines come as a controller set with a pi (or whatever) built inside that have HDMI hook ups for a TV--having the mini and half size cabinets are fun, but when actually playing them, I'd prefer full size controls, otherwise it just feels like a novelty. If they already do that, I don't know what they're called/who makes them.

[@shoked99]

That was a nice touch to the intro. Thank you.

[@SOULDEZIGNER]

More "GAMER EATS" vid's with DMP PLEASE 💗

[@dwightdixon8508]

Posing them with the action figures was brilliant

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I have the weirdest...and coolest job 😂

[@Ozzie314]

Loved playing these at arcade back in the day. It’s neat to see these. Super cool

[@chocoborg]

Ok, having an actual replica of the Laserdisc sold me. You gotta respect this level of attention to details !!!

[@FirstLast_Nba]

Now that's a kick in the feels.

[@Glic2000]

OMG.. the attention to detail there is amazing. I was obsessed with this game as a kid. So glad they included that infinite lives option; definitely gonna need it.

[@garyholland2796]

I was also a fan of Space Ace, dragon's Lair,Qubert, Moon patrol, galaga, missile command great video TY

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Moon Patrol!!! Yes. Great answer.

[@ClassicGameSessions]

I love the level of detail and craftsmanship of these little arcade machines. Looks like you had a really fun shoot with your mini arcade and figurines - like filming a miniatures set! All these arcade games look great, and I think a Ghosts 'n Goblins one would be awesome!

[@jfncho]

its like a fully interactive statue piece.

[@Cooperage911]

When I was a kid, we went a vacation in Italy. And there was an aracade, where I saw the Space Ace arcade machine. Imagine that when you have a C64 at home and then you see the graphic of Space Ace. Whoooa! :D

[@JustLikeParadise]

Love them. I went to college in this era and going to Arcades was fantastic. This one took my Quarters and made me a Space Ace!

[@viscountalpha]

I bought one of the food fight minicades and I love it. The attention to detail is fantastic.

[@NightshadowZX]

Space Ace is awesome. Love these small replica machines.

[@freddykruger1118]

The laserdisc player inside is the cherry on top for me. Amazing detail

[@thegoodrichgames]

Ah one of Don Bluth's contributions to games, loved his arcade stuff playing at the arcades and still to this day. A friend from Insomniac that I worked with at several places was his understudy and worked on this. I miss this kind of animation in games, it was done better than a lot of modern games 20+ years its senior.

[@acidriott]

The attention to detail is absolutely mind blowing! More companies need to take note!

[@JosiahGould]

I would absolutely love to see a tiny Mad Dog McCree game. With scaled down guns just needing to be buttons since it's an LD game it's totally doable.

[@IRWPD]

The small laserdisc in back is super cool.

[@michaelmccormick1152]

From what I understand the laserdisc machine if you find an original Space Ace or Dragon's Lair out in the wild is usually broken. They were never built to last past a few years so getting the game as a replicade might be the way to go. Seems like a pretty cool product overall.

[@MugenLord_inNeonLights]

Nice to see that these small cabinets can play such great laserdisc classics.Keep retro gaming alive!

[@ferdoggferland4207]

I remember back in the day, we would all line up to play dragons lair and space ace at Funspot

[@GunnerGaming87]

These are so great I would LOVEEEEEEEE to have even just 1 of them! Thanks for another great video Metal Jesus! 😁🤘🤘🤘

[@arcaderacer586]

These are the perfect size to look cool on a shelf. I like the way they look

[@steveburt804]

Great video! Space Ace looks really good! Also, I believe Ghosts n Goblins with Ghouls n Ghosts is being worked on too. My favorite machines are Centipede and 1943. Would like to see Defender one day.

[@JetskiPilotGaming]

Great review! I've been a backer of New Wave since their Kickstarter days with their first Centipede release. I've done plenty of unboxing and review videos on their subsequent releases. I'm still waiting on both my Space Ace mini-arcade cabinets from New Wave. I always enjoy your content. Keep up the great work!

[@rubikthegeek2138]

I love Darth Vader just casually playing Dragon's Lair in the intro; This is officially the coolest channel ever 😂

[@alleykat1750]

You have horrible taste in whats "cool" then.

[@jim1174]

This looks so cool can’t wait to add it to my collection. I already own the q bert and it’s awesome. Would love for them to make a Sega time traveler arcade.

[@LeShark75]

I love my Dragons Lair replicade, worth every penny.

[@bloodless653]

You held a GameCube to use the gyro from Kirby Tilt N Tumble through a GBA Player to give directional inputs to a game while using the Donkey Konga bongos with your feet. We don't deserve you, Uncle Derek.

[@fordprefect4728]

new wave toys is also making a mini monitor that goes on top of both DL and this Space ace, anybody old enough might remember when they did this back then so other ppl could see the game.

[@Mrblackstar00]

I have been preordering these machines since day one including this one. VERY good product. I am an avid collector of retro games and systems so these fit well into my standards. I would like to see a tron replacade made. THAT would be awesome.

[@charlestonjew7587]

OMG! TRON YES! Instant pre-order. I have a feeling the licensing would prove too expensive....Disney and all.

[@Holy_Algorithm]

Wow, that is detailed. Very nice!

[@Guernicaman]

Have the Dragon's Lair Replicade & have preordered the Space Ace version! They look GREAT on a shelf.

[@silverian]

I remember seeing Space Ace in Game Arcade Hall many years ago! Quick time events made it challenging (like Dragon's Lair)

[@crazykong1967]

I own three of these, it's going to be four when GNG drops in October. I also own the charger which imho adds a lot to my micro arcade. Incredible attention to detail. I missed out on the Tempest, Asteroids and Centipede units. A bit pricey, but worth the money for hard-core collectors.😀

[@Thomaswake]

What it would be like to take one of these back in time to the old days and freak out all the arcade goers

[@charlestonjew7587]

Borf also has a reducto ray. XD

[@critter42]

Only thing these replicades are missing are those melted spots where people laid their cigarettes down..

[@MartyMcFly3]

They only made one cabinet with cigarette burns. It was the Asteroids Overhaul Edition & only 500 of that particular edition were made. Looked really cool.

[@acdc09]

These seem to be very well made. I would love to see a version of Time Traveller which would be next level. To have a holographic mini arcade would be so cool.

[@78zappaf]

I've been following the new wave toys since the beginning. They are great at making these mini replicas. I've seen people using their figurines to show them "playing" at the arcade. I do wish that they could do Donkey Kong or even Paperboy.

[@harrmick6218]

I never knew these existed. Good to know will see later.

[@IvanKiselyvov]

Games like this used to be some of my favorites. This game, braindead, dragonlair and fox hunt were some of my all time faves

[@MetalArcade]

Love this game! These little arcades are so cool!

[@76sagman]

Wow they are £170 or about 220US in the UK. Love them but not the that. Cool non the less.

[@Seimo426]

They sometimes go on sale to about £100 and at that price they are very much worth it

[@StefanoAraneda]

Man, I wish I could buy the coke machine replica, maybe near the mid of the year I will, looks fantastic!

[@JosephLamb1989]

I know it's not 80s, but a small time crisis with a mini light gun would be so cool

[@bowds7]

It would be nice to see a Battle Zone machine with the dual sticks and periscope viewer.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Oh man!! Yes. That would be amazing 😂

[@Mark-mu4pj]

Wow i forgot about the Space Ace game, loved it as a kid.

[@The_RadicalOne]

Now I’m about to play Space Ace. “Dexter! Your late!”

[@Matthew7772005]

Zaxxon. Loved that game so much. Great video.

[@survivalsquatch8148]

Dude those are pretty sweet. I'll have to look into getting a few of these. Space Ace is a favorite of mine from this genre.

[@pacerdawn5512]

I never was notified when this went pre-sale so I didn't get one. I really hope they have some for sale and don't sell out immediately... This was my favorite game back in the day, I was mesmerized watching people play it. Unlike Dragon's Lair which just had a bunch of stand-alone rooms, this game had a coherent story. I finally learned it and was able to play all the way through, one of my favorite accomplishments. Wonderful game. And Donkey Kong would be AMAZING!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Best thing is to follow companies like this on Twitter or Facebook. That's where most people get notified immediately when available.

[@gone1583]

Those look so awesome.

[@bradyoung6663]

I only saw this game twice as a kid and only got to play it on Sega CD. Go Space Ace.

[@LVPB]

Awesome that means I should get mine soon as well . I'm really excited to receive the ghouls and ghosts ghosts and goblins cabinet that they're doing

[@PongbyAtari]

What a nice collection of mini's 😊

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

Have had my pre-order in on this conversion cab version since March 2022. Hopefully it comes in any day now.

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

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

[@shoked99]

I have fond memories of playing Roadblasters in the arcade. I doubt they would release a driving game though.

[@ChantingInTheDark]

I wish I had a time machine to take NWT's Dragon's Lair and Space Ace back to my younger self and blow my own mind!

[@pudboy3399]

Me too

[@aceretrogaming]

These are so cool and detailed, now I really gotta pick one up for my desk

[@Granduppah]

First time I played Dragon's Lair and Space Ace was a bit later on my Sega CD. I was amazed with it even at that time, hah. I was never great at them, but I'd always have fun trying to play them. Always was a big fan of most of those movies too through the years.

[@EverScrolls]

I own them all and which ones should they do next? Tron All the Guantlet games including the 90s ones. Shooting games if possible.

[@cjh0751]

I think it's amazing that they come in a card board box. So good.

[@kitchycloser]

You have to be a true space ace to fit all these cabinets in your game room.

[@Seimo426]

They are tiny tbh

[@deadlynightshade6769]

You got yours? LUCKY!!! I am waiting with such excitement for my Space Ace Replicades I ordered last year. I ordered them with the 2nd edition Dragon’s Lair Replicades which got to me in early February. I’ve been playing DL and slaying dragons on the regular and I love them!! I ordered both versions of cabinets of Space Ace just like I did with DL btw.. I would love to see NWT eventually make Dragon’s Lair II: Timewarp to complete the trilogy.. Also, I am waiting for NWT to make the little version of a TV that plugs into the Replicade’s HDMI port.. Arcades used to put TV monitors on top of the cabinets back in the day for easier spectator viewing since these games would draw a crowd.. I’m snapping two of those up when NTW comes out with them! Thank you for showing your beautiful Space Ace Replicades as I understand they are supposed to ship out next week.. SO EXCITED TO GET MINE!! 😁👍🏻❤

[@calebpribyl5152]

I remember they had a arcade cabinet of dragon’s lair in Portland but it wouldn’t take my money for some reason?

[@markbridgeman7678]

Oh my goodness there are so many I would love to see: - Track and Field / Hyper Sports - Kung Fu Master - R-type - Donkey Kong

[@qqq1701]

They had gotten a Dragon's Lair machine at our movie theater but it was years later. I knew about it but had never seen one. I tried it, instantly died, and then didn't want to play it again. It needed a little instruction.

[@dsmoove1736]

As of now I own the Dragon’s Lair and the coin machine. I’m waiting on my Space Ace to be delivered this week and still waiting on my Coke machine. The only other ones I wanted but couldn’t get were the Street Fighter II cabinet and the recently available Zoltan. But I love my Dragon’s Lair and hope to purchase more in the future.

[@BoomGiggity]

I remember being in Italy and arcades there had a special cab for Space Ace that was distributed by Atari.

[@josemariamonzon9809]

Excellent. Thank You. Greetings from mexico

[@fabiomoraes6117]

This is really impressive! I hope they can get the licences for other arcade classics, I miss so much the Alien Vs. Predator beat'em up

[@longdongsilver3267]

While I doubt I'll ever buy any of these for myself, I do admit they look really cool. It'd be sweet if they could have a mini-crane game that actually works.

[@shaunbaker2938]

These things are so cool...but they are crazy expensive.

[@yanni6556]

Thats so cool, i think they are worth the money, they look very good quality.

[@Gregtech123]

Would be cool if Dragon's Lair could also be played

[@rosstee]

It can be played - pretty sure all these can?

[@Gregtech123]

@@rosstee Yes, Space Ace can be played, but it would be cool if the Space Ace cabinet had both Space Ace and Dragon's Lair playable

[@rosstee]

@@Gregtech123 Ah, ok. Well that would be more for your money but they already released the Dragon’s Lair mini cabinet, and these appear to be going for authenticity so no combined cabinet as there wasn’t a real machine like that.

[@wileyhansen4143]

It would be cool if you could play both games on the cabinet. They actually do that with some of their cabinets. The 1942 and 1943 cabinets will each play both games. Also, the most recently announced cabinets (Ghosts-n-Goblins and Ghouls-n-Ghosts) will each be able to play both games on them.

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

I have SPACE ACE, 1942, and 1943 mini units from them. Now I need to get DRAGON LAIR. I’m patiently waiting for GHOULS N GHOSTS and GHOSTS AND GOBLINS to release .

[@alienresearchlab]

I have 4 of the New Wave Toys 'Replicade' mini-arcade machines (Tempest, Asteroids, Dragon's Lair, Q*bert) and the build quality and gameplay of each is incredible. The majority of New Wave's mini-arcade games sell out quickly, and they are not going back and making more after the initial run (at least for now). So when they sell out - they're gone. Additional problem is re-sellers are buying them up and then flipping them for quick profit. Solution? Get on the New Wave mailing list to get updates on new releases and discount pricing on pre-orders. Game on!

[@bdillmore40]

Would love to see them do a Neo Geo MVS!!!

[@ferdoggferland4207]

These are so cool. I’ve got every one they’ve put out

[@Rockysbeats]

that animation is incredible

[@HughJaeness]

They should make a conversion kit for anyone who has the original dragons lair mini arcade 😂

[@theimortal1974]

i like how that game had a semi secret difficulty setting. you never have to change to ace. if you don't it's easier

[@katbmwh1101]

Awesome stuff

[@pieromagoga9236]

I also have Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, they are beautiful, and I really hope that New Wave Toys also makes Dragon's Lair II: TIME WARP!!! ...I really hope so! Regards from Italy 😊

[@matthewbarrios1028]

I love these so much! I would get them but I have a Bar Top arcade cabinet that is two player and it is loaded with whatever I need in my gameroom for arcade needs.

[@Ryan-vl2nn]

Very very cool! I’d love to see a Ghost n Goblins. Or maybe the sit down Star Wars game with the overhead enclosure.

[@Livnglrg]

[@Mikemeister2k]

I wanna thank you for uploading!

[@Xtrafix2015]

Yay! I’ve looked for space ace games

[@Tysonyar]

Calling my very small collection of only a few things I like a "game room" is ridiculous. But I do have the Dragon's Lair machine. It is totally cool. Just the sounds of that machine bring forth the nostalgia. These are really cool machines. Expensive - but cool. I have mine on my desk at work. I mostly have to explain to people the significance of Dragon's Lair, which makes me sad.

[@jasonwood77]

Ordered the Space Ace Replicade. Really would love to see Mortal Kombat! Also Rastan, Rolling Thunder, Altered Beast, Gauntlet 1 & 2, Dragon's Lair 2: Time Warp, Primal Rage, etc. Thanx for the video!

[@jimmygillard]

Had no idea the guys who made this were behidn those films, should have been obvious. Very similar art style!

[@ranger64gmfr]

I don’t think my fat fingers will allow me to use those controls. 😂😂

[@eternalspring1034]

I'm not buying anything with an internal hard to replace lithium ion battery that i plan on keeping for more than a decade. I wish they would at least run them with easy to find 18650 removable lithium ion battery or let in be a plug-in with the option of using AA or AAA batteries.

[@jayvee9629]

Yes. This point right here. No one seems to consider when comes time to replace the battery how much of a hassle that would be. I wished they would have designed it with an easily replaceable battery.

[@16bitrpglabs68]

$170 for the quality, features, and attention to detail is quite fair. I was expecting you to say $200 or more.

[@GuestZer0]

I kinda wish those mini tokens could activate a specific feature on the cabinets, like maybe a special sound effect or lights, as a reward for not losing them.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

LOL So true!

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

The new Ghosts n Goblins and Ghouls n Ghosts cabinets that are coming out in October (most likely) will have working coin mechanisms and the coins will be used for coining up in the game! :)

[@tonymiranda917]

I haven't bought any of these cuz I just don't think I can afford it but I do think they are so cool. I bought a bunch of the MyArcade mini arcade machines. Cheaper and still fun to collect. The one game that I have been waiting for so long for is Robotron 2084, idc who does it, I'm gonna buy it. It's my all time favorite arcade machine that I played a ton of when I was a kid. I spent days looking for cans and bottles to take in for cents so I can gain money to play that machine!
