    Got this one as an open box with a discount. Pickup only at my store. The staff was very helpful and I was on my waY home with it in quick order. Shortest supplied and most popular of their products this year. Box wasn’t too bad and there was zero damage. Went together without a fuss and let me tell you, it’s definitely in my top two favorite cabs. Sturdy construction and good design, this legacy style cab is my favorite. Love the fake coin door which I lit up with led lights. Marquee looks exquisite. On of their best. Speakers sound impressive, also one of their best. The soundtrack to MVC2 keeps me coming back. Controls are good, screen is a lovely BOE monitor with bright color and deep blacks. Software works great. The only reason I graded it as good is because the online servers for MVC2 still are not up and running yet, months after it’s release. I’m not a big online guy with these 1 up cabs yet but the leaderboards are cool. When that part is up and running online, this one will knock it out of the park. Very happy with my purchase

    This is my 5th Arcade 1 Up purchase. I played Marvel vs Capcom 2 exclusively on the Dreamcast back in the day. There are 8 total games on this cabinet, with The Punisher being the only game not included on this. I wish it was on here, then I could unload 2 of my other cabinets... Anyways, about MvC2. The sound is loud when the machine is first powered up, and you can't turn it down until after the intro (which is sweet). The online play for MvC2 hasn't been set up yet, which is a bummer. The issues for me with this cabinet (that I knew ahead of time) are no custom stool, and no light up deck. There is also no border sticker around the outside of the screen, I guess I assumed there would be one. There are some online complaints about slight freezing up and sound adjusting by itself that I haven't noticed. However, I've only played it 5-6 times in a week and a half. This SHOULD have been Arcade 1 Up's prize and crown jewel cabinet here, with a few more features, adding 1 more game, and fixing a couple software issues, this could have been the top dog arcade. The cabinet artwork looks good, riser looks good, only wish they had more characters shown on the sides...

    Pleased with the item but it's FAR from perfect. This cab has issues that I'm concerned are hardware related as opposed to software which means, if I'm correct, they can't be addressed via firmware. First, there are issues with the speakers humming and popping in between transitions to next menu, screen, etc. The audio also stutters on the menu screens in between fights in MVC2. Both of these issues disappear when using an externally powered speaker from the headphone jack on the deck. Next, the volume turns itself down during high action moments. You can actually see the volume display on the screen turning down when it occurs. Next, the audio during the boot up into is extremely desynced. That last complaint can probably be fixed via firmware. The last complaint that most people have is that there is no online for MVC2 at this time. This doesn't bother me as I'm not a huge online gamer but it must be noted for those that expect the item to function as advertised. It makes sense that it's not implemented yet because the single player isn't even functioning properly.

    I love it. I heard all the imperfection so far and hope some updates fix the issues in the future. But this is so dope to have. Would i recommend it? If you have the money then sure why not. If not then sure, go for it. Idk, I got this for nostalgic reasons. See you fellow owners online.

    One of the best fighting games ever made and Arcade1Up has made a dream come true! Love the light up marquee and that this comes with a riser. Gameplay is just as good as I remember and the buttons feel nice—a bit stiff but they should get some breaking in the more we play. Overall amazing cabinet to own with a bunch of games other than MvC2!

    This is better than some of my other arcade cabinets i have. The quality of the button’s & joystick are better. Not Sanwa or anything but definitely better.
