Remember. The new monitor is a 5:4 aspect ratio not 4:3. If u swap with a gen 2/3 boe monitor the game will be cropped and yo6 will have black bars on top and bottom and sometimes loose part of the image. You can replace the stock with a 17 inch dell 1707fpt or 1708fpt monitor however that is a 5:4 and hS no wash out
Def going to keep an eye out in case you put out a how-to video. Would def love to see what CCFL adapter/inverter model is needed. Also curious to know if anything like the Geekworm LVDS to HDMI converter was still needed?
I remember, back in the day, arguing with friends whether mortal kombat or street fighter was better. 30 years later these games are still being released in one form or another and i am so grateful. Great cabinet, great review and MK forever lol.
I used to debate that with my friends too, I believe street fighter takes more skill and has a deeper fighting system but mk was just straight fun and shocking when it first came out, i came to the conclusion i love them equally for different reasons
@@DavidDavisDH my favorite character was always lu kang in MK and mk3 and his basic combo is 9 hits and there are characters with even bigger, you never have that in street fighter and I didn't even mention the huge story, the lore, fatalities etc, there is no comparison
@@dimifisher definitely the Mortal kombat story is really big, plus a few years ago, I meet Daniel Pesina and Richard Divizio, they have actors in the old games which adds to the cool factor.
Incredible review! Best part was comparing it to both the Gen 1 and Gen 2 models. It would be incredibly helpful if you would list how tall each one is especially now that it seems they’re getting taller. Thanks so much!
Great review Gem!! That echo is that big ass Gempire you got my dude!!! Congrats on the new house!!! Can't wait to see the arcade tour!! Hope to see you in the lobby's. 👍💯 Yo yo....the all white air max....minty minty fresh
I have to get one of these, hopefully this one will be available in my country. At the moment the only ones that are available here is Mortal Kombat II Midway Legacy Edition, Street Fighter II and Pac-Man. I’ll probably get the Mortal Kombat II.
So...about the monitor issues. I was reading that the problem exists with the washout because the screen is only backlit from the left side. Apparently the left side holds the contrast better but the right side just sucks on any angle other than straight on (like you showed). How big of a deal is it to swap out the monitor then? Like take the whole cab apart? Also I see some comments on adaptors etc. needed. Sucks I was really thinking of pulling the trigger on this but having to replace the screen really blows man. Thanks Gem. Great review.
Wifi and fighting games dont mix well at all Gem. Gonna need that ethernet cable for sure for a way better connection. Gem Ive haven't bought a Omnibus or felt the need over the years. I start watching your channel, within the last 4 days I have bought 3 Omnibus and I have another 3 or 4 in my cart. What have I done haha...
Which one would you recommend for a newbie? I’m stuck between the newest red one which is £400 and the middle which is around £370. I like how the deck is upgraded but it sounds like the monitor lets it down massively…
I dig mine and I think I got lucky. Some wash out but not as bad as many other RU-vidrs. Although I do have a huge back light bleed smack in the middle which is annoying on all black screens.
Are the graphics the same as the gen 1 cab or is it actually closer to the original arcade? That was the only disappointing thing to me when I got the first cabinet was the graphics. Thanks
Just picked mine up today, but did not come with the riser. This is my first and probably only Arcade 1Up I'll own and I'm stoked to assemble it and play.
EASY MK3 is the best one. Deck is fixed plus has the best light up and with the double light up Marquee. It just dosnt have wifi witch I dont care i dont play online. MK3 looks unreal.
Whats it like with two adults playing? Any experience with that? I wish they would put out a Tekken 3 cabinet, that would be day 1 purchase for me. Thanks for the overview Gem!
I notice you say the marquee is back-lit I also bought 30th anniversary mortal kombat arcade1up like you but mine is not back lit or came with any lights please help
Let start by saying great video and content for all three MK cabs... However you keep saying MK2 is a gen/wave 1 cab isnt it a wave 2 cab! When arcade1up was issue out gen/wave 1 series (Pacman, centipede, astroid, SF2, Galaga and Rampage) there was no mention of MK2 until 2019.. The Gen/wave 2 lineup (MK2, Final Fight and Golden Tee) because you can see the upgrades! The monitor, riser was included, and light up marquee was being introduced!
Oh I love this arcade game water combat game yes very nice and i hope you and all your family members are having a wonderful day-and-night thank you so much for showing this RK game uh plus i like the painting order began to and everything else said no everything and i hope all your friends will be have a wonderful day-and-night too and night too and all my love you and all your family members and friends thank you so much
Why dont they ever put the SNES Version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 with Rain and Noob Saibot, it's like not available on any digital platform or academic cabinet structure ONLY SNES......
With having all three generations do they all look the same? I have the 1st wave MKII arcade and it’s more of trophy than an arcade I play. But when I do play I can’t play long because of how pixelated it is.
Some of the monitors are good and some of the monitors are not good when it comes to 1up arcade machine some monitors get affected by moving around or moisture or all kinds of stuff or it was made in the factory and somehow it wasn't up to standards or something went wrong sometimes it could be broken or something and not realizing it and stuff like that but hopefully you could probably change the monitor up to say hey it's affected blah blah blah get yourself a new monitor and put it in the cab that could be an idea and maybe that would help but it does look like an awesome cab I might pick it up myself looking at your video was very helpful I might just pick up this cabinet at one up arcade machine there's a couple that I want to get from one of arcade machine they've got an expensive now lately they have gone up in price they look different than the original ones from the original ones and second generation these new ones look totally different so I might pick up a couple love the video it was awesome and very helpful🤘❤️🤘
so after buying T2. I now have T2 and TMNT with very little room left (might not be able to fit another one) I put in reservation forms for midway legacy, big blue, and all 3 countercades. What would u suggest getting 1) midway legacy. 2) big blue or 3) all 3 countercades 4) mvc2? (Also I have hyperspin setup connected to tv with control panel connected to it)
The biggest flaw is the horrendous input lag. It's completely unplayable for someone like me who has the real machines. I'm biased so it doesn't matter how good they make them look, they are still cheap junk in my opinion. Again...my opinion. Great review though.
gameongrafix can fix the side art for you. They created a Cage sticker you can apply to the sides. And the Midway logos as well. Just give the dude a shoutout on the channel 😉
A1up lists both the UMK 3 cab and this brand new one as 57.80 in assembled height with the riser. Yet it’s obviously taller here. Are they not including the extension in the “assembled measurements”? I don’t why they would include riser height but not extension height.
Remember the pre-production model didnt have the extension panel on it. So they never updated the new height, which is about what the Killer Instinct height is.
