Nobody wants to play SF1 either- I would have just put SF2 Turbo and Super Turbo on there and replaced the other four games with different Capcom titles. Ditto for Darkstalkers- why the hell is this on there? At least go with Vampire Hunter.
I think the reason the original gets so much love is that it had a wide distribution in the arcades in the US. I've never seen an American Vampire Hunter cab and I was a huge arcade head. DarkStalkers was pretty popular, though.
seems so, more of a mod than anything. still kinda going back and forth as to whether to keep the order in but leaning towards it. I wish it had the light up marquee.

What is the biggest difference beyond that? Just the ease of modding?
Just FYI that $199 version of MK doesn't include a riser. If you want to get a cabinet to mod, FYE has theirs (including Street Fighter) for $99, and risers for $30, otherwise a lot of Wal Marts seem to be clearancing out some of the cabinets for $75, but YMMV a lot on that one. My local WM has never dropped a price.

My local WM has never dropped a price.$99 for a SF is dope, no NME near though and seems sold out on site. I have seen the SF one a bit cheaper before, but MK2 cab/decal is one of my all-time faves. RE: clearance, thanks, saw some of that while looking at mod options. I saw them at full price a few weeks ago at local WM, will check game section before actually picking it up to make sure nothing in clearance. As for risers, showing in store nearby for like ~44, which I guess I'd want to get but price keeps inching up.
I’ve seen those Turtle cabinets at my Walmart, but they were $400 not $200
For what will end up being around $500, you might just want to look into something from a seller like RecRoomMasters (Xtension), although I think it would cost a lot more for a 4P cab from them.
if you wanted to replace all the buttons+sticks in the arcade1up itd be like $160 for 4 players worth of sanwas. i dunno how the defaults feel though, might not be needed
I've still been waffling a lot on which direction to go or if I should just abandon the whole thing entirely. If I could compromise on wanting a 4 player cabinet I think this looks like a good lowish-mid price option:https://www.recroommasters.com/24-Xtension-Gameplay-Jr-Arcade-Cabinet-p/rm-xt-32-gameplay-jr.htmI like that a lot more than the 3/4 Alpha-Cade machine bork was linking on the last page from a while back.

Looks good! I went to their shop to pick mine up and I can certainly say that all of the cab types they had looked like they were very high quality.
I would get the MVC one but it would need to be cheap. Curious about the pinball but it doesn't look the greatest.
Just FYI I did a survey from Arcade1Up a couple of days ago. Some possible upcoming cabinets are Donkey Kong, Simpsons, and X-Men.
It looks like they also might be doing full-size cabinets, but those would be $1-3K.
For $500 I would have thought they would put on the correct number of buttons and in the right layout. And the tiny coin door makes no sense.
But it is a decent selection of games (though more shooters would be nice) and it's good to see one of these coming out with more than a handful of games on it.
