Meh.

Nifty, maybe.

GOAT? Not even close.
It looks like it’s trying too hard to do everything. A tiny cabinet with sticks and buttons and trackball and spinners all crammed into a pretty small CP.
Subscription-based game service = bleh.
And the whole part about being able to put in your Blizzard games or Fortnite or whatever on it, when was the last time anyone cared to play WoW or Fortnite on a arcade cabinet?

I find that a Cab that tries to be all things, with sticks and buttons and trackball and spinners all crammed into a CP ends up losing in focus. Sometimes Less is more.

3 reasons why it sucks:

#1- Cabinet looks stupid and generic, and tries to do too much

#2- $599 price

#3- It’s Atgames.

No thanks. I’d rather buy an Arcade1Up and mod it with a Raspberry Pi or Pandora Box (Odroid Xu4 also a good option). Hell, for less than that price, you could buy something NICE like RecRoomMasters Alphacade.

I agree. It tries to be all things, and with my experience it always fails.
The Spinners are too much.

I can see the Track ball if the cab as a PC inside as the track ball often doubles as the mouse.

Yeah I first saw that, and realize it’s a trainwreck in the making.

If they made a simplified version without all the pointless bullshit an for a cheaper price it might be alright.

I might buy one if I find one on a steep discount, or used with broken electronics but the cab is in great condition as I just gut it anyways and put a Raspberry pi in it or something
