Well, they put two of Capcom's X-Men-verse games on the other cabinet, but I'm guessing you mean the 6-player Konami version, right?

:D

all four on one cab would have been great.

Browne762 06-10-2019 01:35 PM

I am happy I didn't pull the trigger on the Mortal Kombat cabinet. If I can find one at a local Walmart I might drop the $350. I would plan to modify it and add some other games like X-Men and The Simpsons. TMNT Tournament Fighters would be fun as well. I still plan to finish my full sized arcade cabinet as well though.

ls1z28 06-10-2019 01:39 PM

I almost picked up the MK 2 cabinet the other day... glad I waited.

I Crave Pizza No More 06-10-2019 02:03 PM

I have the original TMNT cabinet, all with original parts and all still working. Have the Simpsons and TMNT In Time boards that I saw out form time to time. It's hard for four people to gather around it to play, so I imagine this smaller version is going to be a challenge.

cloud 06-10-2019 02:42 PM

I am excited for this along with their Marvel games cabinet.
I wonder if they will come with the risers.

Btw, this should be in the video game section.

Turnstone 06-10-2019 02:44 PM

Even if this is a NECA exclusive kind of sell out, I will still own this in the first round.

darthsmozers 06-10-2019 09:08 PM

Awwww yeaahhhhhh!!!!!

Hahaha

I'm in too. Can't wait.

psychturtle 06-10-2019 10:32 PM

I so have to have this. Beyond elated that this is actually happening!

DevilSpooky 06-10-2019 10:39 PM

I have no chance of getting this delivered here in Portugal do I? :tcry:

Ninja Tiptup 06-11-2019 02:09 AM

I almost can't believe this is happening and I'm so happy it is. 350 bucks is pretty steep for just two games and a neat cabinet but I'm pretty sure I can't resist this one.

Redrumh2o 06-11-2019 05:57 AM

This is a no questions asked first day purchase for me.....cant wait!

sleeplessknight 06-11-2019 06:17 AM

Gasp! I NEED one! @_@

Toitlefan 06-11-2019 08:45 AM

I already have a MAME (emulator) cabinet but I’m seriously considering buying one of these also. Even the Marvel one looks good!

SilverNinja 06-11-2019 09:43 AM

I seriously want this! :teek:

Does anyone know how large the box is that this thing comes in? I have zero space for it now, but once I move into a larger apartment/house, I'd definitely make use of it!

About 4 ft x 2.5 ft x 7 inches, around 60 pounds. Big rectangular box that should fit in a backseat.

However this is the 1st 4 player game being released so dimensions may be a little larger. But nothing too crazy.

Thanks so much for the info! I seriously appreciate it!

That definitely sounds doable for me. The price point is crazy awesome as well, so hopefully I can snag one if they're not too limited.

Coro 06-11-2019 12:14 PM

Yup-been dreaming of the full sized one forever, and now with this?!?! Yeah its gonna happen. Too awesome not to. If anyone has any release info or where I can get this thing please let me know.

Turnstone 06-11-2019 02:05 PM

Already have an insider who is going to snag me one once they hit locally.

wpugh2424 06-11-2019 02:35 PM

When is it releasing ? If it’s listed I have missed it somehow

Wait until Walmart.com has it for preorder.

Not sure how I feel about the associated riser. Definitely getting one to raise the height but might go with the default black.

Shogun26 06-11-2019 08:44 PM

I saw one of these tonight at Costco (different games) and it got me even more excited.

I hope the back is just their standard black one w/ logo? I also saw a video from E3 and there was a TMNT stool as well (same image as riser)

Skip to 6:30 marker.
Goes to 22:00 for all things TMNT.

Few notes for the lazy. If you're all fat, good luck fitting four players. They do show a smaller group of four playing towards the end. The volume control featured will be changed out for a slider adjuster. November should be release date. Not sure if $349 price tag is with riser or not. They also made some custom stools it looks like. No additional info on that though.

It includes the riser

That is so damn cool! I have no place for one and it kills me.

You think this is steep? Do you have any idea how much the original cabinet goes for?

Go on... :tpizza:

I bought mine in 1999 for $427. Some of the decals are worn/faded but I have vintage replacements (not reprints, but new old stock). One of these days I want to restore it, I guess.

ProactiveMan 06-14-2019 12:44 AM

They sell these things through Aldi here, which is annoying. They like to play funny games with release dates, so you never know how hard it will be to buy something.

$350 for an Arcade 1up cabinet seems like a lot if you paid $427 for the real deal. :tgrin: In the last 5ish years of looking for a TMNT Arcade I have never seen anything near that price so I would say you found yourself a really good deal!

I have seen a few rebuilt or refurbished original TMNT full sized cabinets for sale and they are around $3,000. Lowest I found was a local machine for $1,800, but the board didn't work and was very "seasoned" looking to say the least.

Even assembled MAME cabinets are around that $2,500-$3,000 price from what I have seen.

I finally decided to just build my own, but it is taking more time then I was at first thinking. (And costing more too)

These are the same reasons that I want this thing too. I cant afford 2-3k for a nice cabinet with only 1 game in it. This is a dream come true plus its smaller and fits the man cave better.

The same happened to me. Once it’s all built though it’s definitely more rewarding having 1000+ games on it. I think I spent about $1200 on mine over time. I did buy some things for it that weren’t really necessary though. Even with all those games I think I only play about 40 of them anymore.

Redrumh2o 06-14-2019 02:48 PM

There are videos to mod these cabinets with a Raspberry Pi if you wanted to.....even just to add X-Men & Simpsons on it.
