Alright guys, here it is, the Arcade1Up Legacy Collection. Okay, first up in the Legacy Collection is the Capcom Legacy Cabinet. Very cool that they decided to go with the original, the OG Street Fighter 2 artwork. This looks killer. I love, I personally love Street Fighter, so I'm gonna be partial to this, but it comes with a custom graphic riser. You're gonna get that decal of a coin door. It's not a plastic coin door. You can get 12 games built in. This is the same 12 that are on the head-to-head Black Edition, if you remember that. And it's got a light-up marquee. Now, there's going to be more cost-effective versions of this so that people can get in at like $299. And we'll talk more about that on the 1-Up Weekly. But I like that they're retooling some of these older cabinets where people might have missed out on these because they're no longer available. The next 1-Up is going to be the Namco Legacy Edition Cabinet. So this Namco Edition Cabinet is going to be themed after Pac-Man. You're gonna get Pac-Man, Pac-Land, Pac-Man Plus, Super Pac-Man, Pac-Pal, Pac-Mania, Galaxian, Galaga, Dig Dug, Dig Dug 2, Mappy, and Rompers. Uh, it has the custom riser just like the other one. You're gonna have that decal, not a real coin door, not a plastic coin door, but a decal. You're gonna have the 12 games I mentioned earlier and you're gonna have a light-up marquee. Now there's again there's gonna be a more cost-effective version of this to get people into it and then they can upgrade as needed and we'll talk more about that on the 1-Up Weekly. But here's just a little taste for you guys so you know what's going on. All right, there's one more in the Legacy Collection we didn't talk about, and that's the Tempest. I don't have a sizzle reel for that one, but this one is actually an Atari cabinet, so it's going to have Tempest, Asteroid, Centipede, Major Havoc, Missile Command, Crystal Castles, Millipede, Gravitor, Gravitate, Asteroids Deluxe, Super Duel, and Akahara. All right, I don't know that game, so everyone can make fun of me because I don't know what it is. It's Galaga. All right, so check it out. So this is going to have a Tempest theme to it. We can zoom in a little bit so you guys can see some of the details of it. But it's going to have sort of the decal coin door. It's going to have the Atari logo on the front, so Graphic Riser. And I love that they did this. See this? They're listening. Make the artwork flow, baby. Don't give us this like choppy, you know, random stuff right here. Make it flow. So I like it. It flows down. It looks really nice. Uh, the only thing I'm kind of like whatever on is, you know, some people might have issue that they inset the marquee here because if you remember the original Tempest, it didn't have that inset marquee. But whatever, you know, maybe they'll hear some feedback on that if people don't like it. But I think overall it looks really nice. Uh, and they do have the updated spinner on this one. So they have the updated spinner and if you look on the right, this is that one room where this guy just randomly, you know, it's always the same room. It's always a picture of the same room. I don't see the bearded guy though. The bearded guy needs to pop in here and be like "Toasty." So anyways, there you go. That's it. That's the Legacy Collection. We will talk more about it on the 1-Up Weekly. If you like this video, give me a thumbs up. Consider subscribing to the channel. Turn on notifications so you can be informed of other videos like this one and that's it for now guys. We will see you. Oh, the next one. Thank you.
