Nova Blast Arcade Candy Cabinet From Unico - First Hands On Impression!
I recently got to check out a prototype build of the new Nova Blast candy style arcade cabinet from UNICO. This machine features their 26" 4:3 Arcade CRT Replacement LCD Monitor. Comes with Sanwa joysticks and buttons standard. As well as multiple mounting options for other controls. The monitor can be physically rotated between horizontal and vertical video display in the cabinet. The unit has a Jamma controller board that has different edges adapters to connect different arcade pcba and a specialized arcade controller encoder that accepts D-Input, X-Input, and SDL for Linux and Windows for emulation or PC games. Has an additional base stand for the fullsized arcade experience with a functional coin mech and a lighted marquee, and dual fans for heat exhaust. For updates and more info: www.unico-usa.com/

Dude. This is day 1 for me. If it’s “competitive” then it has to be in the 500 to 800 range. If that’s the case I’m buying 2 and changing art. One for vertical and one for horizontal with 2 bases. I’ve always wanted a candy cab and the originals are hard to find and super expensive and this is what I’ve been wanting for years. I’ve seen different art packages being thrown around and hopefully they will be available too. Thanks so much for sharing this.

This looks to be exactly the kind of home arcade setup I've been wanting. With limited space, one cabinet that can house an emulation machine is ideal. I like the look of the cab, it's not full of distracting graphics and has a good, clean, sleek appearance. I'd like the purchase option of choosing the color of player 1 and 2's arcade stick/buttons. That would be a nice touch

to me, that big flippable screen, the metal construction, the custom controller jamma/usb interface. I dont see how this could NOT be more than $1000 compared to arcade1ups with their 1/2 inch mdf construction, 17 in screen and limited use outside of the box. i snarked at the 1500 tag but honestly it does alot more than expected. if it does it what it does well it might be worth saving for. also the thing about MSRP's is that you can sometimes get it cheaper

I think this is going to be great, because like the guy said, it's not JUST for JAMMA boards such as Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, SNK etc, it can be hooked up to Coinops via PC. In my real honest opinion, I think this MAY shoot ones like Arcade1up and AtGames Legends Ultimate/Mini out of the water IF the pricing is right.

@cooltoy 7 ай бұрын

Honestly I think the core customer base for the Nova Blast isn't really the same as the consumers who buy the Arcade1Up and AtGames products. Sure there is some overlap of general arcade fans, but the Nova Blast is definitely geared more towards those who are more educated and familiar with arcades and their inner working components, while AtGames and Arcade1Up cater more to those whom are much less knowledgable and are looking for a quick nostalgia fix.

they aren't changing the button layout, if you want a blast city layout, then you can easily drop in a blast city panel into the nova blast

Stop complaining. Be happy we are actually getting something like this for the Home Arcade Market.

If we could eventually get something around a 500 price point for an acrade machine that lets you play everything that would be perfect.

You’re never going to see a mass produced arcade machine with quality components at that price point sorry.

@foundoasis7342 3 ай бұрын

@@cooltoy i think its doable. You can do diy projects around that price that work fairly well with great controls.

Is there anyone you can contact for product suggestions? I really want one of these, but I'd like to see some sort of quick monitor rotation, almost like an Egret II. Even if the monitor snaps or slots into place, that would be wonderful. I can see myself having to rotate the monitor daily for my use case, and I don't want to have to DIY something, or constantly be screwing and unscrewing the monitor, putting wear and tear on the mounts.

They aren’t going to make the monitor have a rotating mech of any kind for this product release. Adding something like that would obviously raise the price and they seem pretty locked in with the design of the machine at this stage.

@@cooltoy Thanks for the information! I actually have a DIY idea to make rotation a bit easier without a full mechanism, or adding much, if anything, to manufacturing costs. Reached out to Unico not too long ago, so we'll see if they forward the suggestion. :-)
