My Arcade Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition Video Game: Mini Arcade Machine, Arcade Version

I've been collecting "My Arcade" cabinets for a while now. Their early minis, while always great quality, needed some work especially on the ROM side which always used the NES versions of each game.Their new Premium line, however, is exactly what retro fans were waiting for. The first in the lineup was the terrific Space Invaders premium arcade which not only used the original arcade ROM (finally) but also diverted from their classic "one-size-fits-all" mold which resulted in a unique collector's item.Now with this Street Fighter one, My Arcade has done it again. The cabinet is a beautiful, fully playable replica that should be exactly how My Arcade treats all their future cabinets.CABINET: The cabinet is actually bigger than the photos online, and looks very impressive in person. Quality exceeds the previous "basic" models (probably on par with Space Invaders). Marquee lights up, like all other Premium minis. The mold is high quality, as are the glossy graphics on all sides.SCREEN: Screen size went up from 2.75" to 3.5" and looks great. Viewing angles also improved, with no real viewing issues when playing. The cabinet's brightness can be controlled from the main menu - a great new feature that shows this one's actually using a much better chip inside.CONTROLS: The controls use micro switches - first for any mini arcade produced in the market. The quality of the controls is great, I didn't find the joystick to be loose like one review suggested. You can even easily mod the panel (by taking it out using the two side screws) and change the buttons or joystick if you'd like (you can also open this thing from the back, hint hint, and mess with the board).ACTUAL GAME: Not much to say, as this is the original ROM from the Arcade. Game looks and sounds great (volume can go wayyy up). Could perform all moves very easily thanks to the good controls. This actually rivals my Arcade1up machine in terms of playability.Overall, an outstanding machine - 5 solid stars. I can't comment on the CO/VS mode (2 player game) as I only have one machine, but I'm definitely going to get another one as soon as it's back in stock. My Arcade - PLEASE continue what you're doing and keep this awesome lineup of Premium titles. You outdid yourself with this one.

Nice building and details, luxury package, a lot of fan service put in this. Cabinet design and art replicates the original, i met and played back in the day. It's instant on, it doesn't boot or anything, i wonder wich hardware they used.Ganeplay wise: it is arcade version of SF2CE , no genesis or anything else, unlike the super sf2 release. All combos and glitches are there, just like you remeber them.Now, the controls: they are beautyful, but tiny. With a little bit of patience and concentration you can pull out all the tricks, combos and whatnot, but tbh it's a thing more to look and admire than to really put a long hardcore play.I recommend it to old school fans and gamers like me, it's beautyful and quite functional, for it's size and price. And maybe you can throw some hadoukens or combos ocassionally

Awesome little arcade. Good quality LCD and controls. Arcade rom. Definitely recommend but has some issues...However, to the nitpicky collector types like myself... the color sequence on the buttons are incorrect compared to the original arcade, which is a minimal issue only observed by the obsessive compulsive who want authenticity. There is also a small glitch when the joystick is in the upper right or lower right position and a jab punch is trying to be placed, but it does not really affect gameplay in any significant way. No memory retention after power down. If you want no sound in attract mode then you will have to select that option every single time you power on the unit. It will not save high scores. I have mine installed on a power strip with several other mini arcade games and would like to turn the switch on and have the game start playing, however this game boots up with the "one or two player" screen and will sit there stagnant until you choose an option. I wish that they would have placed a timer on the player screen so it will default to one player by itself if nothing is chosen after, say, 10 seconds. And it won't retain the dip switch settings you can select manually in the game. Otherwise a really cool little game that pretty accurately emulates the original arcade machine from my childhood.My Arcade, please take note on your next emulated arcade title, Please put a timer on the initial select screen so the game will begin playing automatically without having to push a button and also add flash memory to the unit so it will retain dip switch settings and high scores. And if you release any other vintage titles please consider using four-way joysticks for 4-way joystick games. 8 way joystick games used on 4-way joystick games make the game play pretty much impossible... the machines look awesome but are very hard to play compared to your competitors who released the same vintage titles. Keep up the good work, this was meant to be constructive criticism only by one of your big fans.

These mini arcade machines are great! I have been collecting them because they look great on the shelf, as well as being fun to play.The graphics are quality and control is excellent.I look forward to seeing more games popping up in the future 🙂

This brings me back old memories at being at the coin laundry. It's solidly made and it plays pretty well overall.A nice piece to retro up my computer desk and a fun throwback to play on whenever I want to. It's also great that I can power it with a portable battery with a USB c out. Hadoken!

Love this thing.Really good mini video arcade.

As a big fan of myarcade and the micro arcade cabinets they have been making, I was looking forward to the release of the premium street fighter cabinet ever since it was first announced. It looks and sounds great, and re-creates an authentic experience from my youth when I would hang out at arcades for hours playing any and all challengers.However, it suffers from a flaw; one that might not be a significant issue in most other games, but is extremely serious in a game like streetfighter which relies on responsive input and the ability to execute precise directional commands: the joystick. After my initial frustration with unresponsive/inconsistent input I opened it up to see if I could determine the problem.The joystick is a + shaped piece of plastic that has 4 arms that extend outwards towards the 4 directional input switches. Unlike a regular joystick which can only tilt from the center, this one sits on top of a small vertically aligned spring; this is what re-centers the stick after movement. Consequently, it only takes a very light nudge to push it in any direction. Motions that involve pulling the stick in a single direction easily result in the stick tilting towards an unwanted direction because the spring offers little directional resistance and only functions to re-center the stick.The largest problem with this design is that there is nothing that prevents the user from pushing down on the stick from above which can result in pressing all 4 directional switches simultaneously. Since the game's rom does not register more than 2 directional inputs at once (ex. up + forward), triggering one of the other 4 inputs by accidentally pressing on the stick results in only the 2 most recent inputs counting while the rest are discarded. This can be observed when trying to perform an input with a rotation: pressing too hard during this motion can trigger one or more extra switches unintentionally, resulting in a portion of the final input being discarded.This is most noticeable when trying to perform a move such as [F->D->D+F] as it will frequently discard the "down" portion of the final input and instead treat your input as though you had pressed [D->D+F->F]. A similar problem occurs when trying to move from [back->forward] or [down->up] quickly, quite often the stick's spring offers too little resistance to prevent nearby inputs from being pressed.Having built my own full-sized arcade stick controllers before, I was familiar with a few different stick designs, but I've yet to see one like this. Given the obvious inherent flaws it doesn't make much sense why they went with this particular design, either. The directional-pad "stick" found on all other myarcade cabinets would have been a lot more responsive. The alternate design was probably supposed to give it a more "authentic" arcade feel, but unfortunately, it greatly limits the playability of the game. Considering the $60-70 price tag attached to it as a premium model, this is kind of unacceptable.I managed to resolve this design flaw for my own micro cabinet by replacing the original spring with one that is slightly longer and considerably stiffer as well as by padding the interior of the stick-base with some soft foam to add extra resistance directly under the stick. I still get the rare unwanted 4-button-stick-press, but it is now much easier to pull the stick in a single direction without accidentally pressing the nearby directions.Without the kind of custom-modifications I made; the bare minimum of which would be replacing the very weak stock spring with a stronger spring, the device is good for little more than indulging nostalgia once or twice before collecting dust on a shelf. Post-modification I consider it well worth the money, but I expect most people won't be interested in tinkering with it the same way.A final thought - I have not observed the kind of frame skips or stuttering that other users have described apart from the slowdowns that occur after chaining multiple hits together in sequence, which is a quirk of the original hit-cancel combo system that was also present in every port of SF-II world warriors or champion edition I can remember._-Overall recommendations-_If you are a vintage gaming enthusiast who primarily wants it as a display piece or a collectible: although it's pricey, it looks quite nice and sounds great, and is worth buying.If you are also a serious gamer who wants something that is just as 'playable' as it is 'displayable': you should probably be prepared to make your own modifications.If the gameplay matters to you, but you aren't comfortable with the idea of opening the cabinet and messing with the internal parts: I would strongly advise you to reconsider your purchase.

Works as should. Pretty big too!

Normal bir makina muamelesi yaparak sert bir şekilde oyun oynamak gibi derdiniz olmasın bu ürün tamamen naif yapıya sahiptir bir köşede durması bile yeterli.

Excelente, muito gratificante ter essa miniatura em casa eu que ia pra esquina escutar o som do jogo que vinha de bar!

場所を取らずに気軽にplayできるのが僕にとって最高です。

Parfait

Cualquiera que haya jugado la Arcade le encantará esta réplica. Buena calidad, con detalles increíbles y además se juega muy bien.
