awesome price match 399.99 great deal love the game
Conker –
Please note, this cab was purchased at a sale price of $399 and not the original MSRP of $699.
At the original sale price, I couldn’t bring myself to make the purchase despite loving KI as a kid. At $399, the best sale this cab has seen since launching back in January, I’m more than happy with my purchase. However, there are some flaws that need to be addressed.
The Good:
Near flawless emulation of arcade versions of KI and KI2 (both games are notoriously difficult to emulate correctly), the project handled by Code Mystics, the go-to folks for these particular ports. Not only did they do a great job, but they continue to support and release improvement to various bugs.
Both games have various scanline options, smoothing, difficulty settings, online play, etc.
The mostly all-black cab looks great. The minimalistic design approach lends itself well to the overall aesthetic. The light-up deck is cool, and remembers your settings (older cabs required powering it up separately and setting your color every time you turned the cab back on). The 3D coin door looks nice, and for added flair you can mod it with LEDs to make the coin slots light up.
The 4:3 BOE monitor is great and has nice wide viewing angles, making playing with 2 people and spectating a good experience.
Sound quality is decent (not bad, not great), but at least the channels between the main board and headphone jack aren’t completely screwed up like in pervious cabs (Turtles in Time, Big Blue).
The angled marquee looks respectably nice, and not as washed out as pervious cab marquees.
The Not-so-good:
KI sits a few inches taller than previous cabs, which can be good or bad depending on your height. I stand 5′ 9″ and find the control panel height just a tad too high for comfort, even while standing. In fact, it actually sits higher than the original arcade cabinet from the 90’s. A slanted deck could’ve rectified the issue, but like all of A1UP’s previous cabs, it sits a flat 90 degree angle. I have to raise my elbows slightly higher than I would prefer to rest my hands on the controls. Also, for someone my height, it renders the included stool mostly worthless, as the control deck is too high to sit comfortably and play.
The stock buttons and sticks are pretty bad. The sticks especially are terrible, even by previous A1UP standards. I find myself struggling to land special moves and combos as inputs don’t always register. I’ve already replaced all of the stock buttons with Suzo Happs, but replacing the sticks with IL or Happ sticks requires a bit of work. For a cheap and easy fix, I recommend getting Sanwa octo gates and switching out the square gates in the stock sticks. It definitely helps, but won’t completely negate the poor quality of the stock hardware.
I haven’t really bothered with Battletoads, as the arcade game wasn’t something I ever played as a kid, and the console versions feel like pointless throwaways more than anything.

Great product…. love love love playing this classic
SMGrubbs –
And it did not disappoint. Yeah, the price tag is high ($700 for 3 games) but I caught it at $500. Still probably a little pricey for 3 games, but I love these games so it’s a hit I was willing to take. It is WiFi compatible, so you can play other people online. With USB and Micro SD, I’m guessing there’s probably a way to add more games that I haven’t figured out. Great purchase for the man cave retro room.

I haven’t played Killer Instinct in years since the Super Nintendo days. I’m glad Battletoads is on this cabinet and that’s one of my favorites beat em up games. The installation was not bad.
Pants –
Great addition the the home arcade! Killer Instinct delivers on the looks, the game play and the controls! This is such an upgrade from the previous generation of cabs (MK Legacy).
Pros:
Monitor has great viewing angels
Cabinet shape is improved (more arcade-like)
Controls feel good
No more sticker coinn doors
KI I & 2 play great- no glitches
Cons:
Bat tops are wrong color
Side panels are two-piece
Limited number of games
Overall a great cab if you can live with the small number of cons.

If you like killer instinct classic then you will like this game
Fletch –
Love this game. I will play this for hours. Plus 2 player awesome.
Kaoticbpr –
The best cabinet they offer that I’ve purchased so far! The emulation is perfect. The controls are better than previous cabinets. Molded coin door, led bar on the control panel is a nice touch. Sound is a little low, marquee is not as bad as people say it is. This is now my most played cabinet and most rewarding. Online is a blast!
RobT –
Easy assembly and worked as advertised. Excellent addition to the game room.
Solidus –
Love this cabinet! Only issue is the game list is small.
TorriM –
I absolutely love the cabinet and Killer Instinct was always my favorite arcade game. The LED lights on the controls is a nice addition. By far the highlight of my collection. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is due to the speakers making a popping noise when it powers down. It’s a known issue that seems to come and go for me.
Sparty –
Fun arcade with Killer Instinct and Battle Toads! Would recommend to anyone. I also like the higher riser on this.
Andruwnixon –
Excellent cabinet. Great game selection. And a stool!!
BoxCollector1977 –
In store pick up and the box was beat up. Shipping might have been better option
Reviewer –
Loved this game. This game is everything I remembered when I was a child.
ArthurA –
If you are a fan of the original KI, this is not it, it’s a pretty cabinet to look at but not to play. The controls are cheap and unresponsive, the software isn’t original because you can’t choose stages, combo breaker or glitches and the sound quality sounds like an old am hand held radio.
Chevy –
Thiis is all the arcade thst you remember. My kids also find this entertaining.
bLAzer59 –
My best arcade cabinet in my game room. You won’t be disappointed.
DavidB –
Order was delivered to my neighbors house, wet and damaged… with that being said I love the game.

I have bought many Arcade 1up machines and have been happy. This machine was a total disaster. First off there was dust on the screen behind the plastic screen protector. Once assembled the machine will not power on at all strike 2. Strike 3 is the customer service for this product. I currently have an arcade paper weight fully assembled and I can not play it. I put in a ticket with Arcade 1up and they said they are going to send me a new PCB (board that controls it all). I have now waited over 2 weeks for the part and am being ghosted by their customer service.
I am a few days away from being able to return this product and fear that is what I will have to do so disappointed.
Javi –
The lcd tv could be at 720p for the price it looks all pixel and kinda bad quality. Other that bring back memories i like the game.
jivas394 –
This is probably my favorite fighting game of all time. Worth every bit of the purchase
JaeB –
pretty cool but the audio is underwhelming, the speakers must be really cheap
brad2428 –
Arcade 1up games are the best. Great deal with stool included.
BlackHartz –
Yes yes yes. I have to agree with all the positive reviews on here! Owning this now as an adult brings back so many memories…. Dont get discouraged by so many negative reviews about this “home arcade” because if those “hard to please” indivduals”” had enough money and a mansion to buy a real 7ft tall 5ft wide arcade and have room in their home for it, be my guest. But dont knock down Arcade 1 up and criticize the art work. Marquee, controlls, buttons, speakers, wood quality/material, color combo artwork doesnt match their blouse, etc etc etc. These were produced and built and targeted to people who can afford them and small enough to fit in any size room! Their prepackaged in a large enough box that include a riser and stool and yes YOU can pay more to “upgrade” it for better hardware, but yes, were paying over $3-700 for these should be built a little better, BUT for the average “Casual gamer” like me, its PERFECT!!! Also Best buy DOES in fact price match so Thank you Beat Buy customer support for helping me! Took some time but i got it finally! Shipping quality can be a little better protected and should be covered in wrapping paper or newspaper or something if a large card board box isnt available. Contents inside is indivudally boxed/packagd but needs more foam/bubble/pillow wrap to keep contents in place and protected during shipment ! Thats all, THANKS!
AdrianCF –
Fast and no issues. Game runs great and online is main reason to buy it.
Unknown –
Overall is good, but the controllers doesn’t convince me at all, it’s kind of hard to do combos
Wolfpapi –
Love this cab, the joysticks feel much better than previous arcade1up cabinets and the LED on the panel is a nice touch!
TomTom –
Great addition to my little arcade collection, but whoever at Best Buy that decided to carve the box to garbage doesn’t have my thanks. Cut so deep that it carved the siding of the machine. Other than the glaring issue of the side of the cabinet, it runs great. Emulation works well, sound could be a bit better (more bass), but I am happy with it.
DavidR –
Feels very close to the arcade. Emulation is spot on, the joysticks feel 10x better than my other 1up machines. For me, I only took away one star for a few of the common minor issues that I see on my cabinet. I’ve heard the notorious clicking sound when machine is off (tap the deck light button and it stops) and one panel seems slightly lose in the front below the deck. These are not deal breakers, so enjoy the combo breakers instead!
Srt4dude –
I read reviews of it not the best or its great alot of mixed reviews i took my chance i couldn’t be more happier lights make look great only thing about mine marquee don’t seem to work or not sure there a buttons for that have not figured that out

Marcus –
Product came as advertised and had a joy building it, loved playing old ki also had no problem with pick up process smooth and also helped carry it to my vehicle
Chris –
As with the majority of Arcade1up’s home arcades, the emulation and presentation is very good. However, there are a few setbacks to consider when determining if it’s right for you. The marquee is fairly washed out and the black tones don’t necessarily pop. This can be fixed with aftermarket replacements if it’s a big enough issue for you. Also, some have reported issues with the speakers/sound. Some cabs have been known to have a speaker pop or hum when not actively used. My cab doesn’t appear to have this issue, but your mileage may vary. Some also have reported that the volume is too low which i also have not experienced. This too can be adjusted through simple modification. Given that I primarily bought this cab for the Battletoads arcade game and was able to get it on a Best Buy flash sale, I’m more than happy with my purchase. The screen is crisp, the art looks great, and the online features are fantastic.
Review –

It’s really cool have a smaller version of this iconic game
This game is one of the reasons why the ’90s was so cool
