I love it, the family loves and the neighbors love it too! The wife and I even had a great time putting it together. The cabinet loves fantastic and the arcade comes with 14 classic games for hours of fun. You can even play other people online all over the world. Thank you Best Buy as this was truly a best buy! Already looking at a second one.

I was very excited for this cabinet as I am a huge MK fan. The cabinet itself is awesome, probably the best Arcade1up has released yet. That said, the screen is terrible and the control latency with every MK is very noticable. It is even worse when playing online, which can make it borderline unplayable at times. While I can live with the bad screen, hopefully Arcade1up fixes the control latency and online problems accordingly through regular updates.

I’ve owned my MK30th now for over 6 months and can say that the Midway cabinet shape is a great design and hopefully A1up will continue using this shape on all future 3/4 cabinets moving forward. The games list is A+. The online play is really good when I play with someone online. The only reason I rate MK30th at a 4 star rating and not 5 star is the TN monitor that they chose to use. It is washed out and when looking from the left side, the monitor looks horrible. My particular unit has black spots that show up after about 20 minutes of it being on. Mainly only noticeable on Joust and Defender, I have contemplated on swapping the monitor out but not sure if I will end up going that route or just living with it the way it is. All and all it is still a great buy especially if it’s on sale!

Is a nice looking cab. Bright lit marquee. Has a good assortment of games on it. Joysticks feel good. Buttons are ok. Has online play for over half the games. Online leaderboards for all games. The screen is a little washed out but not a deal breaker. Looking straight on is fine while playing.

Terrible monitor but the look and design of this cabinet is really awesome. The marquee looks great and is evenly lit. The online play works well when you can find a competitor. Would have been a 5/5 without the terrible monitor.

Beautiful arcade cabinet. 14 games with online gameplay. Only thing keeping it from a 5 star rating is the monitor. Previous Arcade1up cabinets used higher quality screens with better viewing angles. This one is just okay. Even so, this is still a really nice cabinet.

It is a great cabinet. Arcade1up got the design down great. Looks great and is online play. Has a lot of great games and it would have got 5 stars but the monitor they used to not good. It is a shame they used this monitor instead of there normal one.

Nice cabinet…mediocre screen and quality issues

Big MK fan…I have the MK cabinet right before this one. I have built about six various arcade cabinets. The one thing I can almost always count on is a defect or two or three in the plastic screen bezel…no different here. I wish arcade 1up did better quality control on the bezel…i went from imperfect (black) backing to receiving two broken bezels and one with a sizeable scratch in the plastic. I gave up on endless warranty replacements and went with the best one out of the four.Yes…the monitor is mediocre with off-angle viewing. The controls are ok. Haven’t tried the network play but looks painful in the online reviews. Anyway, keeping this one for the great cabinet design and this may be my last one for awhile, especially if the monitor doesn’t improve. Im tired of the bad QC.

The Mortal Kombat arcade looks great, but one of the front board pieces was cut a little short. Otherwise, the games and game play are worthy.
