Also some games do exhibit sound issues. The more I play it the more problems I find. Some may not notice the sound isn't perfect or care, but its definitely a issue.

Madlittlepixel how did you hack just simply add games via sd card and put them on folder, that's it!?
@@ChaleX_TiquiciaGamer check properties on micro sd card, ensure FAT32 format. If not use a program to format to FAT32. Then simply on the root of the card put anfolder simply named game. In that folder you can put folders named after the system you want to play. Example NES. Then just put the unzipped roms in those folders. Only supports a handful of consoles, and doesnt play everything. GBA I tested a few and some would crash. Also it will play Genesis, but make sure the file formats are .bin not .md, if .md you can just rename and change the file extension to .bin.
@@Madlittlepixel Thanks for answering! It might wouldn't be that great for $40, and you won't be able to play absolutely everything, but at least can play your own games, maybe at some point will give it a shot!
What in the name of souljha boy are these things????!
I returned mine! this thing makes those atgames blast's look amazing lol jk!
To anyone who does want to play the megaman games, the legacy collection is about $20 for just about any system and probably plays like 10x better.
Even Wily Wars on the Sega Genesis Mini runs better
Too much input lag though- terrible and unplayable on the ps4.
@@razor8717 PC and Switch are the best systems to play on.
@@razor8717 I have no issues with the PS4 version although I do prefer the Switch version because of more content in the museum like box art and cartridge designs.
Not-so-popular opinion, but not only compared to this but in general, the legacy collections (at least the first one because they ruined some stuff in the second one) are pretty fine in their own right.
Oh God Mega Man 2's music sounds so weird when it's the wrong pitch. Are you seriously telling me Arcade1up couldn't get a NES emulator right?
This is like AtGames, except it's Arcade1Up that gets it wrong this time.
Some of the arcade games have sound issues as well it appears. Went back and played a bit of everything on these machines. Finding more and more problems besides just sound. Sometimes no matter the controller a input will ghost and cause other inputs to not function. Happens the longer I play for some odd reason.
I think it is a setting in the emulation. When they swap the duty cycle the sound is like this. The weird thing is some people like the sound this way. Usually people who were introduced to these nes games by emulation back in the 90’s when nesticle first came out.
@@Bo_Knows_Tecmo nesticle? Bow to the fecal-lord!
i noticed that right away. it's like it's playing too slow, or like you said, bad emulation with bad sound reproduction.
Jakks Pacific nailed the Plug 'n Play on their first try. Still love the Ms. Pac-Man model with dynamic steering for Pole Position.
I had that plug and play with the joystick you twist for pole position
Now AtGames had competition in the crappy plug and play market.
Don't forget the "My Arcade" products, which are even crappier than those.
Atleast AtGames had a good mastersystem and game gear portable console (tho sonic drift 2 was incorrectly displayed)
Madlittlepixel: playing the crap consoles so you don’t have to.
Ron is taking a bullet for all of us.
Seeing the Jump and Shoot buttons switched for Mega Man hurts my soul.
Yes sir
I'm relieved to hear someone else mention that muddy anti-aliasing effect. I picked up the Pac-Man unit with every intention to review it, but I found it to be unremarkable and just returned it to Target without ever shooting a frame of video! 😛
They fired quality control before they even started.
Lol. Man. You didn't waste any time reviewing this product.
Thank you for saving me $90 combined! the Pac Man one looked kind of cool but the controller being garbage kills it. The fact its only sold at Office Depot is a red flag
PCEGirl89 I also saw it at Target, and even that Gameboy looking console that has built in games in it as well. I couldn't stand the Mega Man one, as it's not the way it's supposed to be at all...music and the like.
I saw the megaman controller issue as soon as the controller image flashed across the screen. Capcom made the same massive mistake with the game cube version of Megaman collection. There is no excuse for this crap, especially when the programmers decide not to put in alternate controller options.
Please, do you have a link to a good controller?
Great game, but needs a better controller.
The mega man one reversing the controls is the ultimate dealbreaker
Your Pac-Man controlleri is broken. Mine doesn’t do that “click” and works fine.
It could also be a revision as not all products are always made the same.
@@BouncekDeLemos A revision already? didn't this just come out? wtf
@@Justin-do7ll Either that, or it could've been made from a separate facility? I dunno for sure, just speculating, but I've seen two identical products having slight differences before, even if they just came out.
Even worse. Now he was just sold a faulty product.
TFW Arcade1up turned into AtGames, and AtGames turned into Arcade 1up
My impulse is not to buy stuff like this.
You know you can add rims to it he didn’t mention that
It also sounds like the music is in a different pitch than in the originals.
"Straight up garbage" seems like an overly strong descriptor; at least Arcade 1up did a better job than AtGames in that 1up used actual arcade roms it seems. Anyway, if I see it on discount at Bed Bath & Beyond after the holidays, I'd get them.
I can see arcade1up going under tbh, they have the vibe of a company that wants to diversify their revenue streams but without understanding what people want...
I’d like to see a new arcade 1up cab that takes big ass carts to change what games are on it because £500 is a lot for Pac-Man or space invaders...
Arcade cab that takes big ass carts to change games...It's was an 80's thing...called Jamma 🤣
Yeah... on that Mega Man one, it would've at least been nice of them to throw in _Mega Man: The Power Battle_ and _Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters_ from the arcade, as well as just the NES originals. That would have been a nice extra touch, and it would've made sense to include some of those extra buttons with them.
They should have included Mega Man 7 & Mega Man & Bass, Super Famicom Edition, as well and maybe even thrown in Mega Man Soccer for good measure.
Thanks for not shilling like ralph.
If I like something people will know I legit like it. I don't care what company you are, Arcade 1Up, AtGames, Hyperkin, Retro-Bit, Nintendo, Or any other company.... F all their feelings. Cause no actual company gives a shit about you. So be yourself and be honest, what do you have to lose? Oh companies not giving you free stuff anymore? I've pissed off more companies than I have pleased and it doesn't bother me. I haven't gotten where I am by licking anyones taint. Channels who actually shill for companies and are fanboys will get that particular audience. I don't want those people watching my channel.
All these unsubs from Ralph, lol. Join the New Jobber Order over on my channel. Just getting started. Juggling life, kids, work, etc, but I love creating.
Good vid, Pixel.
This clearly shows that if you were considering these (aka torching your money) then you may need to get help avoiding impulsive shopping, haha.
Older consoles have got replaced with newer versions of similar content, those are still fine for their nostalgic values.
Can tell Christmas is comming up .... release any old crap
Liam Neeson: "Release the Crappen!"
At least the Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch looks good.
@Randy Wilson is arcade1up bad? Cuz I was planning on saving up to get a MK arcade, because having a mortal kombat machine in my own room would be badass.
What ever his doing he’s just brain washing all of us to believe that is a junk, and don’t believe it😡
My GOD they make the jump and shoot button mistake EVERY time they do a Mega Man release like this. I can't relearn playing these games practically from the WOMB! Dang, thought of grabbing this, now I know why people are getting desperate to sell it.
Dude sounds like it is "hammer time" and I don't mean the song...
The fact that they fuggered up the Genesis controls to go against the controller layout while simultaneously ignoring the NES controller layout is frustrating beyond believe. That's like next level stupid... they went out of their way to screw it up
As soon as I saw the dpad sticking up all I could think was “oh no...”
Sign of things to come
I actually like the pacman one. The games they are offering is pretty cool. I also like the menu screen. Arcade1up makes awesome products but i hate that the dpad is not of top quality. I would still buy the pacman one but will use a 8bit do controller for it. I enjoyed the unboxing man and for $40; i guess you get what you pay for lol 😆
Please, do you have a link to a good controller?
Great game, but needs a better controller.
Great review, honestly looked like it had the polish with the interface but definitely no heart behind it. Possible video on not trash holiday retro gifts?
That disney console seems to be for the giant disney joystick sold on gamestop for $99
Jut looked it up....what the hell are they doing?
That's literally the exact same way I got mine.
I got it at Office Depot.
The music being handled this poorly is criminal.
"no sir i dont like it" MLP and the horse from ren and stimpy
The music being messed up kills it completely fr the music is one of the best parts of megaman
I mean that seems pretty good for HDMI Genesis emulation on a TV....
That sound on Mario 1 and Sonic sounded almost as bad as the AtGames mini consoles...
One (little) Big thing...you can't reverse jump and shoot. Thanks for reviewing this, so we don't have to play it.
I don't buy many things so i live vicariously through you bro, although at times even then I feel ripped off like this crap. Thanks for being ripped off instead of me =p
The shimmering is just because the scaling is not pixel perfect. If it was 8:7 ratio then you would notice the game screen would be thinner and most people would complain. The button mapping makes it a complete no go especially when there are better options out there. I would get the super retrocade instead of this. Thanks for reviewing the megaman version. I am a big megaman fan and was interested in this one. But it ended up being what I anticipated. Will just stick with my tried and true hacked snes classic with 8bitdo wireless controller setup.
Good to know. I've tried a couple of the handheld systems with 100+ games on it but the A and B buttons were switched. I play games like Mario 3 and Mega Man 2 on pure instinct at this point. I don't want to have to relearn games that are second nature to me.
Bro I dig the raw honesty in the reviews helping us dodge another sub-par release.
How did they mess up the Mega Man buttons? That's the main thing they should have got right. I appreciate you doing these reviews and being honest.
Those controllers look like something I would not like. Thanks for trying this for us.
It's disappointing that it has to be junk. I'd rather pay extra money for something of quality than pay less and get junk.
Welp, so that was arcade 1up's master plan. Make a bunch of crappy arcade machines to fund making a bunch of crappy at games mini plug and plays. It's like at games in reverse
This is an awesome review this is the sort of review that needs to be said about products that aren’t good
Thank God for you telling me this. Those are a waste of money.
The cabs are good tho
I saw both of these at Walmart in the toy isle. I still have a fondness for the Joystick used Ms. Pacman with bonus games from Jakks Pacific from 2004.
Arcade 1-Up has an update for the Megaman on their site. Installed it this morning. Fixed the button mapping issue. Playable now
That is good to know, glad they fixed it... Still some testing should have occured prior so the damn thing could have shipped properly to begin with.
Oh DUDE, the minute I heard the Wood Man music, I knew something was wrong. That would bug me WAY too damn much to be tolerable.
The buttons being swapped around on the mega man games is a deal breaker for me (not that I was interested in these products, but still). I was so let down when that same issue occurred with the Gamecube version of Mega Man Anniversary. Could have been salvaged if there were options to change the controller setup, but nope.
9:25 lol gamecube megaman anniversary collection was like that. Shoot first then jump, other way around is unplayable
Funny, people complain about swapped controls in Mega Man games, but no attention when Platinum and Bethesda do the same from XBOX to Nintendo versions of Bayonetta (Wii U/Switch) and Skyrim (Switch). No one further memes Kamiya or Howard (especially Howard) in response...
Ironically, I think the Genesis controls of Mega Man: Wily Wars were WAY worse than MMAC on Cube (but maybe it's because I didn't grow up THAT much with the NES games, so controls swap EVERYTIME I play Mega Man on any system). Yeah, you can swap and "fix", but I don't know. C to jump? That freaking far? Not as responsive either. On a Cube controller, I've grown used to B button being jump thanks to another arm canon wielding hero(ine) and at least I can reach it easy with my thumb.
Shouldn't the Pac-man Collection have more than just 2 pacman games where pac-land
😆
It's so they can release 10 more Pac-Man versions of this.
Seems like they are just chucking things at the wall to see what sticks.
Omg the awful sound of Super Mario Bros and Sonic 2 at the end 😂😂😂
I instantly noticed the music in the mega man games are off quite a bit as well.
Like it's slower or something.
Unless you’re on a budget and don’t have consoles or you’re a collector, don’t bother getting this when you can easily download the Namco collection and the Mega Man Legacy collections on switch, PS4, or Xbox one
One thing I don’t get is when companies make products like this and still get the sound emulation wrong. Like come on, I’ve seen 2004 Nes emulators with better sound than this 2020 product. It can’t be a copyright issue either, since this is an official license, so I see this as pure laziness.
It’s cool until you realize these compilations were released for ps2 and can be picked up for next to nil along with collections like capcom arcade classics, Taito classics, neo geo, etc. would be good to get more variety and not just rehashes
I am shocked. With a company with such a long history of producing top-notch stuff. NOT!. They obviously have an audience with their products, but for me, every single thing they have produced thus far is absolute rubbish. The cabs are rubbish. Keep the vids coming MLP :)
Cant even blame it on China. China produces great stuff when you make sure the manufacturers produce your product with high quality. 1up is stamping their name on garbage and they know it
I think their arcade cabinets are great personally.
That's too bad, but I can mod the controller to be whatever I want. The emulation and video looks great. Thinking a SNES-shaped controller mod would be nice.
Damn how'd they mess this up? All it needs is a basic d-pad and 2 solid buttons 🤦♂️
You like an SNL guy. I subscribed immediately!
Pretty sure it's a defect with the pac controller. I saw Retro Ralph vid about it and he didn't have that problem. Still didn't like the d pad but he said it was controlling ok.
The thing is if a parent can’t buy a $400 console for their child, I think this is a good substitute. I would substitute the Pac-Man controller for another wireless controller, then your in business. If I wasn’t blessed with a good paying job, I’d probably have one of these. I think you can add more games through the SD card on the back.
That's a shame they're tarnishing their brand. I really like their Arcade units.
Thanks for an honest thumbnail. Honest and to the point.
Ironic...I remember talking to CEO Scott B and him flat out saying how playing these plug n play consoles didn’t feel right and didn’t really like them, and now he’s selling them. Go figure.
Surprise Surprise I actually got it on Christmas Day 2020
MMLC1: *Laughs in laziness*
That's Digital Eclipse for you.
Man, I'm glad Capcom started making their later Mega Man collections in house now.
@@solarflare9078 It was also done by M2. If you already know them well then congratulations!
And this is why I'm satisfied with just hacking my NES classic edition.
If only this thing had support for save states for the roms loaded from SD. Then, I might actually have some use for it.
All those poor people that bought the MM one only to find out jump and shoot were switched 🤬
The sound in the Mega Man unit is completely wrong. Screw that.
So the Mega Man game has the same button-swap problem as the Mega Man Collection on the Nintendo GameCube, which completely ruined that game for me 😔
Thank you soooooo much for this
Do you know when Arcarde1up is releasing the Disney wireless console? I saw it in the Megaman brochure, but I can't find the Disney one anywhere.
I've not seen any new info
That's a pity. I had high expectations from Arcade1Up. (More like Arcade1Oops here.) Thank you for sharing.
far as i remember the controls for mega man was A = Jump holding A makes bigger jump
they can get mappy, xevious, galaga 88, and new rally x on these, but they can't release a 3/4 machine with these on it, yet we get more pac man variants. They could make a cab with just those 4 games on it!!
I'd love to get a Mappy Arcade cabinet by Arcade 1Up. Mappy is a huge favorite game of mine. Having a Mappy Arcade machine to play Mappy authentically in my room would be really amazing and something I really want. Hopefully Arcade 1Up does this one day.
@@retrofan4963 Well, it will be on the pac man legacy cab, probably the best we're ever going to see.
BUT THIS IS ARCADE1UP
@@magnusdiridian I guess at-least something. But Arcade1Up seriously need to step up. A Mappy Arcade cabinet should've been made since a huge while ago. It would be cool if they made a Mappy Arcade cabinet that includes the original Mappy and its sequels Hopping Mappy and Mappy Arrangement.
I dont know. A $40 device that you can add games to. Sounds like it could be a nice $24.99 black friday deal.
One can plug other controllers to the box so even if the ones coming with the console is crap, use a Xbox controller or what ever you have laying around and it should work fine.
As one can add games to it with an SD card, where do one get a retro game console for that price? It works with Nintendo, Sega, Atari etc right out of the box. One just have to pickup the roms and are pretty much ready to go.
Considering that I think it’s a well worth buy for $40. At least I have hard to find any cheaper retro console on the market.
The only downside is that it’s not possible to configure buttons.
Please, do you have a link to a good controller?
Great game, but needs a better controller.
oh yeah, the reason why the audio is lower pitch is because it's emulating in pal mode.
so if you were to run a pal game, the audio would be fine.
Knew since seeing this stuff on CES videos it would be crap. Let’s see how long these products are available before being closed out for $5.
the buttons being reversed is unforgivable cheap controllers also are a no go on games like mega man WHAT A SCREW JOB
Hey, its arcade1up just give em 3-4 years and theyll start to get these plug and plays right.
Hate how you’re not able to change the remote settings on the Mehaman collection series!
I think they wound up putting a firmware update that fixes this issue, least thats what I had heard anyway.
Shame
Its almost like a separate division from the actual arcades cabinets did these. Their arcade cabinets are pretty dope.
The arcade (not console) emulation seems alright, that probably uses the same software/hardware set Arcade1up Pac-Man cabinets use. It would probably have been a decent piece overall if it did not have such an awful controller.
The console emulation... That is a screw-up on a ludicrous level. How do both NES and Genesis have downpitched sound? Literally what would have been considered "AtGames Quality" years ago. My guesd is, as their arcade sets were based on chips that Pandora's Box uses, they got the same people who would code their shady custom MAME clones to handle their shady console emulator... And thus, a lack of quality control.
8:27 There is another problem. The music is pitched down. Wrong pitched music. Can't believe you didn't notice. Or maybe you're not a Mega Man nutter like me.
Also, the audio is way way off too it's like an octive off..... deal breaker.
Arcade1Up originally said that Pac-Man Plus, Super Pac-Man, Pac-Land, Pac & Pal and Xevious would be on their so-called Pac-Man Collection plug and play earlier this year, wonder what went wrong there?!
The music in Mega man one is completely off key. I'm really tired of the glut of terrible plug and play boxes and mini consoles. But these things aren't made for people who game regularly, most of the people who buy these won't know the difference or care and that's what Arcade 1up is counting on.
Bad product that could end up hurting arcade1up. Think about the fact that this thing is so easy to hack that you might as well buy one, add the retro games you want to play, make yourself a small arcade cabinet and there you have it...no need to buy and spend 300-400 on one of their 3/4 size cabinets.
Plug and play is to video games as mcdonald's is to food
If those were 15-20 bucks, it might be worth it just for a cheap emulator you can use on a TV.
Thanks for the heads up . Saw these and thought about picking them up .
It bothers me that the music is off in the Mega Man one
OMG THEY STILL MAKE PLUG N PLAY CONSOLES?! I WANT A PAC MAN ONE WITH ONE OF THOSE BIG JOYSTICKS!
Oh nevermind I watched the video and this isn't what I thought. I thought it was a literal plug n play console like back in the day where everything was in the controller and you just plugged it into the TV.
Stuff like this makes me just tell people to get a Rasberry Pi or a Wii and mod the Wii. Get a classic Wii controller and a cheap HDMI converter also. I seriously don't know why they would include a 6 button controller for Nes versions of Mega Man. Honestly it would have made more sense with the Snes Mega Man X games.
Winced when you were drawing the X-Acto razor towards you. I slit my thumb open with one of those once. Be more careful. | ODP retail is not priority, and the customer doesn't matter (ask about the tech support plan!).
What's really tiresome is that we're in 2020 and these things are sold with cheap ass wireless controllers that work on batteries.
BATTERIES! in 2020!
I prefer wired controllers. I laughed when I saw that my 17 year old son finally has a wired Xbox One controller, because he would always need batteries, and I asked why it had to be wireless.
😆 are they supposed to be nuclear powered? Lol I get whatya saying though.
To quote the Eastwood film "For a few dollars more" I would buy the Super Retrocade and get that for $60 or less. IMO. Great video. Peace!
