TL;DR

Leaked AtGames Legends Gamer Mini cabinet may compete with Arcade1Up.

Summary

RetroRalph speculates on leaked images of an AtGames 'Legends Gamer Mini' pinball cabinet, comparing it to existing Arcade1Up competition and the AtGames Legends Gamer standalone controller. The cabinet appears in an Arcade1Up subreddit, featuring pinball buttons similar to the mocked control panel, though no official announcement has been made. RetroRalph analyzes the feasibility based on the Legends Gamer's documented capability to connect to external cabinets.

Notable Quotes

RetroRalph@ 1:43 — Raises speculation about whether the leak is intentional internal marketing or external disruption aimed at Arcade1Up
“so if it's architected the same way or engineered the same way as the Gamer Stern Pinball Arcade, then the Legends Gamer Mini would connect to a cabinet as well. So you'd have it available as a standalone stick and the ability to put it in a cabinet, basically this thing.”

Hey guys, welcome back! larger than an arcade one-up and it's more almost the height of an official arcade cabinet although it's it's not as deep obviously and then you've got the legends gamer the gamer pro these are sort of fight stick type things i have one i'll do a review on that shortly and then there's a legends gamer mini now if you look this legends gamer mini looks almost identical to this mock-up control panel here so it's definitely quite feasible that this is something that's real uh and it's going to be announced at some point it even has the pinball buttons on the side and so does this mock-up picture. If you look behind here, it sort of has the pinball buttons. You can sort of see it in the background. Now, I did go to the website to see did they announce something that I missed? You know, did this cabinet get announced somewhere on the page? And if you look, there's some coming soon products, but none of them actually show a cabinet that's called the Legends Mini. So it's kind of interesting. You know, are they trying to compete with Arcade 1-Up in a smaller footprint? You know, a lot of people play Arcade 1-Ups as one player anyway, even though they're two-player cabinets. So, you know, if there's something good about it, it could be that. I mean, I play alone most of the time versus with someone. So I don't know. Maybe that's the idea is have a smaller cabinet, better price point, more competitive. It has similar functionality to the AtGames Legends Ultimate, I would assume. So it definitely kind of interesting It very unexpected I didn expect them to do this The weird thing about where this was leaked at is it was leaked into a reddit forum that in the arcade one group so it like almost like is someone over there trying to mess with them or something like that so I don't know do you guys think this is real or fake it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts so is this a real thing will this come out it's definitely feasible that it'd be real and I'll tell you one quick reason why so in the manual for my Let's go back to the website. In the manual for my Legends Gamer Pro, it shows that you can connect this to a cabinet. And so if it's architected the same way or engineered the same way as the Gamer Pro, then the Legends Gamer Mini would connect to a cabinet as well. So you'd have it available as a standalone stick and the ability to put it in a cabinet, basically this thing. So they would sell it like this as a cabinet, which basically for all intents and purposes, this is the same thing as this. But if you don't have the space, you know, you can buy the stick alone. And then if you want a smaller scale cabinet at a better price point, you can do this. So I don't know. I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts. Put them down in the comment section below. Let me know what you think of this thing. Is this is it real? Is it fake? Do you even care? I don't know. Put it in your comments. I want to know.
