I’m in the same boat! I got mine at $550, and like I said in the review, it’s far from perfect, but I still love it. It’s a beautiful cab, it’s fun, it’s built sturdy, and honestly $550 was a steal in my book. The only way I’ll get rid of it is for the rumored v2, which is allegedly gonna have online leaderboards… Score chasing with other people is fun for me, so if that happens this year, I’ll be trading up to it! I also learned that I need to buy a stool. Cause my feet start to hurt if I’m doing a longer session.

@@ketowolf get a better stool then the 1 up ones. Those are made of crap.

Thanks for watching the video :) I have one of A1UP’s arcades as well and love it! Fair warning on the pinball machines, it’s rumored their v2 is coming later this year! :) One day I’ll get a real pinball machine lol but for now I love this digital one. Thanks for the comment!

@@ketowolf You're very welcome! I will keep that in mind about v2, if I do get one of the A1UP pinball machines. I came very close to buying a very old all mechanical pinball machine several years ago. Unfortunately, just before I headed out to drive out of town to get it, the seller called and said that someone else had beat me to it. At least he had the decency to give me the call so I wouldn't waste my time and gas making the trip for nothing. My neighbors are probably happy that I didn't get it though. LOL!

Hey thanks for the kind words! :) I appreciate it. A few things to note, just in case! 1) There’s a rumor that the next wave of Arcade1Up Pinballs might release later this year which is alleged to have wifi (for updates and online leaderboards). 2) The prices for these machines have changed since I made this review. I purchased it at $550 and now they’re I think $700? I’m not sure. So just thought I’d make mention of that. Thanks for the feedback and for watching! I also appreciate the subscribe, but heads up, I’m not really a focused “channel.” This is just a personal KZfaq account and I just post random things across all my weird interests for fun. ;)

Thanks for watching and for the feedback! There’s nothing wrong with phone camera reviews! Half the reason I wanted to make this video was for the video work, cause I find it fun to do! And yeah, I felt like the common “At Games vs A1UP comparison” I see aren’t usually all too fair. My own observation is people often say “AtGames is better because it can technically do more, so it’s better.” But I don’t think it’s that simple because everybody has different goals in mind. I feel like in reality they’re both good machines and comparing them on even playing fields felt unfair when they’re both trying to be different things. So I wanted to give my take and try to be more fair. And I felt like my “best cheeseburger” analogy was good, I was proud of that, lol, so thanks! ;) Anyways, thanks for all the feedback! The subscribe is appreciated but heads up, I’m not a “focused channel” :) This is just my personal KZfaq where I’ll post anything personal, from nerdy shit I like, to furry shit, to personal art projects, etc.

Oh I missed this comment somehow. Thanks for watching and for the kind words! Much appreciated! Hope the setup was easy for you!

Hey there! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching! :) it was a lot of fun to make! I may make another for another game thing that catches my eye, retro or modern! Mostly just do this for fun if I really like something.

FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BUCKS AIN'T BAD!

Thanks a lot for the kind words, for watching, and for appreciating the details! It was a fun video to make! And yeah, I have no regrets about the machine! I don’t have as much time to play it as much as I wish I had, but I’m still very happy to have it- it’s fun and beautiful. I actually want a stool for it because it can take awhile to beat high scores. On that same note, the v2 version of these machines are rumored to have online leaderboards. But nobody knows when that will come out… 1 year from now? 2? But that will be the only reason I’ll sell this machine- to get a version with online leaderboards. Because I think it’s a lot of fun to have scores to chase beyond my own!

Thanks for the kind words! And I appreciate the little details being noticed! A lot of the fun in these kinds of videos is just making them, so thanks a lot!

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching! :) And yeah, big Destiny fan too!

Lol! Well I hope you enjoy the machine! They recently released a software patch! I’m unsure if the machine you get will be automatically updated but check out the video description for a link to the software patch from the official arcade1up website! :)

Hey! Thanks for watching the video and the kind words! I’m glad you liked it!

Hey thanks for watching! Much appreciated! :) I’m not really trying to grow my channel. It’s just a personal channel for fun and sharing parts of my life and whatever I want.

@@ketowolf well already subscribed and liked

Hey thanks for watching the video! :) and glad to hear it! It’s a great little machine and I love it! Nice to hear you’re enjoying it too! :)

Yeah, the 720p graphics don't deter me either. Would I PREFER 1080p? Of course. But to reiterate what I've said in my review, this machine's sum is greater than its parts, and I'm cool with that. :) It's beautiful, the games are fun, the controls are nicer than a console control, haptics, etc. I'm fine without wifi on these wave1 machines, but I AM crossing my fingers that wave 2 has wifi for online leaderboards! :) My goal is to get the William's tables for wave 2! Glad to hear you're getting your machine soon! Hope it gets there soon!

@@ketowolf Quick question, as I haven't found a clear answer. These tables support local multiplayer, correct? Like I can play a full 4 player game with buddies?

@@Culftheman Yup! There’s 1-4 players, and you swap turns every ball if I recall!

@@Culftheman I’ve only done a multiplayer game once but it was fun! And the viewing angle of the screen was good! Good was still able to see everything clearly even as I watched from the side.

@@ketowolf Excellent, now I'm even more excited. Should be here next week. Hope you enjoy yours until gen2!

I’m the same way, I just want simple plug-and-play systems :) thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! :) Oh, does the same issue occur on your Masters of the Force too? I’m unsure if it’s a widespread issue or just my machine. And yeah, I agree, like I said in the review, despite the imperfection here and there… it’s not enough to get in the way of enjoying the machine! I love it. I’m waiting patiently for wave 2, I wanna pickup a Bally Williams table. The top of my wishlist for wave 2 is online leaderboards.

@@ketowolf Yep, same issue, but Masters of the Force is the only table doing it. I haven't seen any other reviewers pointing this out, so I wonder if it's an isolated problem or if people just aren't noticing it while playing.

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for checking it out! :3

Your welcome you deserve it

Thank you :3

I agree. I really love the machine- the simplicity and the beauty of it. The music was actually a big selling point for me. Turning it on and hearing the Star Wars theme blasting… it’s exciting and gets you pumped up to play! Lol

@@ketowolf Agree 💯

Thank you! Oh you have a collection! Oh wait… lol!

Thanks for watching the video! :) And also, if you pick it up, it’s worth mentioning that A1UP recently released a software patch for these too. :) arcade1up.com/pages/software-updates I’m unsure if new pinball machines being sold today will automatically have these updates already installed but just in case, here’s the link! :) I’ve yet to update mine but I plan to soon! I’m hoping it will fix the accelerometer issue for me. :)

Thanks!

Thanks for watching it! :)

Thanks for checking it out :)

Hello! I still love having this machine. :) I found one small new possible bug but I’m not sure. In “A New Hope,” on scene 6, when I try to destroy the last tie fighter, I’m not sure if it’s bugged but it won’t seem to blow up to continue that mission. I might try a factory reset but I don’t want to clear my scores. I bought this machine for $550 before tax and I’m still happy with that purchase price all things considered. :) I’m not sure how much these sell for now, but I think they might be around $700+ at which point I think is a bit steep for it. Unless though… if you’re good with software tinkering, there’s a… uh… mod that adds more value to this machine and might a $700 pricetag more worth it. With some KZfaq or googling, I think you’ll see what I’m referring to :)

I think I’d enjoy PLAYING the ATGames pinball as a quick one-off at somebody’s house, but I don’t think I’d enjoy OWNING it for the reasons listed in my video. Everybody has different goals and desires, and the AtGames doesn’t fit mine. The video explains my reasoning. If you’re interested in why I chose A1UP’s pinball over AtGames, the last half of my video explains it once I start comparing it to AtGames.

@@ketowolf I know. But you kinda exaggerated the “issues” of connecting AOC to the atgames. It’s literally plug and play. Took me a whopping 15 min. And I’m using an 8 year old dell. I spent maybe another hundred dollars and got all the marvel and star wars tables. Which include those not included with Arcade1up. The visual difference between playing the same table on these two tables is staggering. Arcade1up really cheaped out on the monitor. Again, I owned both and for me this version of pinball by Arcade1up seems like a beta where atgames seems like a finished product. And now there virtually no price difference. New Arcade1up is $850. Not worth it at that price.

I have the part still in storage! To be honest, I haven’t installed it yet! Despite the machine feeling like a tank and very durable, I’m just not wanting to shove the thing around too much regardless. And I’ve also procrastinated. Lol

Thanks for watching and commenting! :) Yeah, I can appreciate what the Legends Pinball has to offer even if it’s not for me. There’s room to enjoy both! I use an iMac, and I’m not even sure if all the software required to hook up a computer to a legends even works with mac! But for me, it’s not a big deal. I think a bigger and better screen is really cool! Like, I’d love to play fx3 on a bigger pinball machine with a fancy screen! But, having to have a pc tethered to my pinball machine is a deal breaker for me personally. I love the convenience of having a standalone machine. BUT, that’s just me and I absolutely recognize everyone is different and that’s totally cool :) I don’t like having a bunch of exterior cables and computer stuff, but for other people, that may not bother them. But luckily there’s options for everyone :) That’s why I said in my review that both machines are good, it just depends on what people want. Because I’ve seen people hate on the A1UP machine because they’re expecting it to be something that it’s not trying to be. I’m rambling. Thanks for watching!

@@ketowolf I appreciate your attitude in responding to folks with a different opinion. I opted to go for the Legends table and it will be here in a day or two. I get where you are coming from and if you like it, I love it.

Thanks for watching the video! :) I’m glad to hear! I REALLY wanted the Attack From Mars machine! But since I already have the Star Wars, I’m gonna gonna wait for the next Williams machine! Hopefully it has a good games list! I really wanted Medieval Madness!

I have not!

Thanks for the comment! One of the points in the video I was making was that I’m NOT comparing this to those $2000 full sized digital pinball machines because this machine isn’t trying to compete with them.

Yup, it’s a monitor embedded into the cabinet, so it’s all digital.

Ive never played the Marvel or William’s tables, im sorry.

I haven’t done it but if you KZfaq it, there’s some workaround to have all the tables on one machine. It requires a PC and doing stuff that is above my head.

Yes, when you turn the unit on, it asks for you to select the language, and French is one of the options. :)

@@ketowolf I ordered a month ago in switzerland and still not received... is the game in complète French or only the menus? Thanks guys !

I got it for $550, but I think these days it’s $750? I’m not sure!

The thing about options is… “having more options” only matters if those options are appealing to you. Like I said in my review, a larger 1080p display with 200+ game sounds good… but if the 200+ games aren’t appealing, then the big display is wasted and the 200+ games mean nothing to me. An endless supply of kale is not better than a bag of apples, since I don’t like kale but I love apples. I much rather have 10 games I enjoy on a beautiful cabinet on an adequate screen. :) But if you like the games on the Legends, more power to ya! There’s enough room for everybody to enjoy what they want. :)

@@ketowolf I'm actually playing star wars on my legends with nothing more than plugging in my nintendo switch. Get full rumble and 1080p with 19 tables... its all about options.. you might not need them but you should always have them. thanks for the video and review.. you do great work on presentation and style

@@kevgret I disagree, respectfully- giving users as many options as possible is not always the best choice. It depends on what your product is meant to be. I didn’t go too deep into that train of thought in the video but you have to know what you want your product to be. I have a switch too and I honestly love it. But if I had a Legends Pinball, in order to play games I like… I’d have to do all the setup required for it to even work, then every time I wanna play pinball, I have to make sure I have to fetch my switch, tether it to the pinball machine, and find a place to stow the switch. Then I’d be stuck with a cabinet that I think is hard to look at, taking up a lot of space in a room, cables and switch hanging off of it every time I wanna play it…. Or… for hundreds less, I can simply get a good looking cabinet with built-in games I already like. More options isn’t inherently better. Like I said in my review, it depends on what you want. Everybody has different needs and desires. :) It would be like saying an 88-key midi keyboard is inherently better than an upright piano just because a midi keyboard can have thousands of instruments installed on it over time and used with software. That doesn’t make the midi keyboard inherently better. If that were the case, nobody would own a real piano anymore and everybody would just own midi keyboards. They both have pros and cons, it just depends on what you want. Nobody with a piano is complains that they can’t install a trumpet instrument on their piano. Not everybody just wants as many options as they can get. The quality of the experience and how it fits your individual desires and needs is more important.

@@kevgret I didn’t realize you could plug in a switch. Are there videos on setting this up or more info on it?

@@davidvisser9447 All you need to do is plug in an HDMI from the switch to the legends pinball. Hit the button on the legends to change the ouput.. use -90 degress and boom... the switch is on the legends. When you load up zen pinball there will be an option to rotate the switch to vertical... do that and the tables will play in 1080p 60fps. You have to use the joycons but they have built in rumble. you can buy 3D printed holders which you can attach to the legends and will hold the joycons to the legends. They work great, are cheap, and feel good to use.

I think it’s less about one machine being more or less casual than the other. I think it’s more the type of gamer you are- and there’s no wrong answer, only preference. The AtGames machine is perfect for some people, and the Arcade1Up machine is perfect for other people. Just depends on who you are and what you want. :3 Thanks for watching the video!
