- Let’s take a closer look at the SNK MVSX Neo Geo Home Arcade by Unico! I’ve had this home arcade for about a month now and had plenty of time to test it out, was it worth the $499 price tag? Let’s find out! I’ll also be playing my two favorite games on the MVSX which are Garou Mark of the Wolves and Shock Troopers. #mvsx #neogeo #snk
- Hry
When these games came out they were cutting edge. The Neo Geo was ahead of its time with graphics and sounds. The background animations are underappreciated because we are so used to modern games but NEO GEO games really stood out in the arcade and the cabinet was sharp! The MVSX is the nicest looking cabinet in the home arcade too.
Thanks SoulFor Sale, really appreciate that my friend! I totally agree Neo Geo was so far ahead of its time. As a kid I was just amazed by those games both in the arcade and when they hit the Neo Geo console. I really like the look of the MVSX cab as well with the bold red, the marquee, coin door and shape of the cab. 👍
@@3rdFloorArcade it is a very good replica 100%
Totally worth the money. Everything looks way more high quality. The screen looks better and there's 50 games not 4. They only thing if you wanted to mod is joysticks and buttons. I wish I knew about this before I got a sf cab few years back.
Yeah I agree, awesome cabinet for the money. I might end up swapping out the sticks and buttons at some point with better ones. It really is a beautiful machine with some great classic Neo Geo games on it 👍
@@3rdFloorArcade can u add more roms?
Wow I remember when these were brand new games. The old arcade with the memory card. And the home system which was like $500 back in like 90/91.
I love those old Neo Geo big red machines from back in the day! I remember playing a lot of of King of Fighters and Fatal Fury on those. And I always was a fan of the home system but the steep price tag of the console and the games kept me from ever getting it. Thanks for checking out the video Ap Ap!
The cab looks clean and I like the picture the monitor puts out. Nice colors and sharp graphics. I own an original big red but I like to check videos like these. Just like seeing people enjoy gaming no matter how they game. Sweet arcade room set up! 🍻
Thanks so much SNKFightFan, really appreciate that man! I would absolutely love to own an original SNK cab, maybe one day👍 I always been a huge fan of all the Neo Geo fighting games especially.
Recently got into SNK games and saw this cabinet online and totally want one now! Thanks for the review! I hope to get it and try out that shock trooper game you played 👍
Thanks for checking the video out, I definitely recommend this cabinet. It’s awesome 👍
Excellent video. I like how you raised the cab up higher too.
Thanks Deputy Van Halen, really appreciate that dude. 👍
That was an awesome idea, taking the old base top, and using it as a 1" riser! I needed a bit more elevation for mine, so I placed mine on some furniture risers, until I can build a proper 3", or 4" plinth to set it on. I have to get the screen al little closer, with my vision. That picxel smoothing, which enlarges the picture is massive help, though. I do feel this cabinet was well worth the price of admission, considering the authentic look of the cabinet, and 50 games onboard, with the possible ability to add more, or at least update the o/s, via USB. The audio is spot on synced, unlike the Legends Ultimate, which has a 1 second delay between action, and audio. LOL. Havin' a blast with the MVSX. Now, if I can just find my Neo Geo Pockets to use as toppers. Thanks for the video. :)
Thanks ThomasGrillo! Glad you are enjoying the MVSX my dude. I agree 3 or 4” raised up probably perfect for this cab.
Those Neo Geo pockets would be great as toppers!
I had to pass on it because of space Im saving for future cabs but great to hear your feedback and that youre still enjoying it. Keep it up
Thanks so much Complete Geek TV! I know space is def becoming a factor for all of us! 👍
Great looking cabinet. It would have been kind of cool if you could open the marquee and change out the mini marquee cards like the full size cabinet.
I have only now been playing Neo Geo games. Because where I lived there was only one arcade near me and they never had a Neo Geo cabinet there. So I missed the whole craze. So now I have been playing many of the games on my Mame mod, and I am loving them. Thanks so much for sharing. Great job as usual.
Thanks Jester Tester, really appreciate that my friend! I love that idea of being able to open up the marquee and swap out the game cards. I’m wondering if Unico releases a second cabinet to follow up this one since they seemed to have good sales on this. Maybe that’s a feature they could add to it 👍
Thanks to your review, and a few others, I just purchased this unit. Lmao! They sent the bartop but not my stand/riser, even though they were shipped on the same day, but I’m sure it will show up in a few days. Meanwhile, I am loving it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome, glad you’re liking the MVSX. It’s still one of my favorites I remember I got the base first and then the bartop showed up a couple days after lol. Thanks for checking out the video Redd Alchemy!
Yep, definitely like this more than the Arcade 1 ups. I'm thinking of putting this next to my Recroom masters Jr.
Nice! Are you picking up that new riser they just listed on their website? I’m thinking about getting it.
Thanks for video. awesome post-analyses
Thanks Arcade Will! Really appreciate that dude!
The graphics r great . Love the anime cut scenes too
I agree. Those Neo Geo games are great. So advanced for that era of gaming 👍
I want one! It would be really cool if you could add more games to it.
I bet you could tear-up Shock Troopers if you had a spinner. It reminds me of Commando.
Very similar to Commando. Both are such great games!
most defs getting this!! also SHOCK TROOPS looks like an isometric metal slug xD SO KEWL!!
Shock Troopers is one of my all-time favorites!
Damn SNK..THEY need to do a proper Neo Geo Home Console Mini
I agree, that would be so great! 👍
I need to get one myself.
It’s def a sweet cabinet to add to the collection 👍
Got mine on the way , gets here February
Nice! It’s an awesome cabinet, 100% worth the money 👍
Una pregunta estimado señor es posible agregarle más juegos a esa consola o solo se pueden tener los que ya vienen ahí pregunto por qué soy fan de la Magic plus 2002 en dónde es más sencillo sacar los especiales y quisiera saber si se puede agregar más juegos como ese.?
One question, dear sir, is it possible to add more games to that console or can you only have the ones that already come there? that.?
looks awesome, but I wish it included more shooters (Pulstar, Strikers 1945, etc.) and puzzle games (Puzzle Bobble, Magic Drop, etc.). NeoGeo had so many awesome games and it really focuses on the fighting ones which are awesome (my favorite is Last Blade 2), but just wish they branched out more.
Yeah I wish they had a little more variety. Tons of great fighting games on here for sure but some of those classic Neo Geo shooters would’ve been perfect.
I was intimidated by the Hlyox and Capcom Hacks, but finally went through the process last week, and now the cab is TOTALLY worth it! Puzzle Bobble, Magic Drop, and all Capcom games! Easy steps found on CZcams!
If you could get either this or iircade retromania both in mint condition and borh are $300 what would you recommend?
I think I’d go with the MVSX. But to do enjoy the iiRcade that I have too. Also, if you go with the MVSX I recommend the riser that adds a little more height to it.
Nice collection 👍🏾💯
Thanks John! Really appreciate that! 🕹👍
Hi ! do you feel any lag input when playing ?
Hello. I really enjoy your videos. I really enjoy these arcade1up. I recently orders the neo geo arcade. When putting the the top part on the base part, did you have to remove the rubber feet? If anyone can respond I would appreciate it.
Thanks for checking out the video Julio! I didn’t remove the rubber feet when putting the top part on the base. I actually just keep the bartop resting on top of the base without attaching it. Enjoy your new MVSX Julio!
Thank you for your quick response. I wish my game room looked half as good as yours. And thank you. I’ll go ahead and try how you have it set up without removing the feet and without screwing it. I just subscribed to your channel. 😃👍
@@juliohernandez3668 thanks Julio, I really appreciate that 👍
I just ordered one, can’t wait :D
Nice! I love the MVSX. Great pickup man. 👍
How is it now? Do have an update?
Did u have to assemble it or pre assembled inside the shipping box?
The top main part is already assembled straight out of the box. You just have to build the base. Pretty easy.
Did your neo geo come with a USB adapter?
Just placed an order for the combo at the official site. The collectible may have pushed me over the edge. Hope it wasn’t a preorder bonus or something!
Awesome! This cab won’t disappoint my friend. And I’m pretty sure you will still get that Terry Bogard figure since you ordered directly 👍
How much was the shipping? I'm on the main website and entered my address but it doesn't show shipping price. I don't want to click on Place Order and be hit with a high shipping fee.
@@imnotstupidjustslow9366 when I ordered it was free shipping.
Would love to to get it even though I never played any of the games, just don’t want to spend $500 at the moment. I preordered the Atari Legacy Cab and I want to wait see if there’s any surprises announced later in the year.
That Atari Legacy cab looks amazing, love the new form factor on that 12 in 1. I wonder what surprises we will get, a Simpsons cab? Maybe a new Golden Tee with a bowling game? Can’t wait to find out👍
I would like to see Q-Bert a lot of people love him or hate him.
@@TheDeathWillCome2012 I really could see A1UP doing a Qbert in near future. That’s a good prediction Jeff

I love this video 🤩
Thanks torture geek, really appreciate that! 👍
Hylostick came out with a mod to add all the neo geo games

My MVSX will be arriving on Thursday through Amazon. It was originally scheduled to ship on February 20th. It moved up almost a month for some reason?
That great it’s coming early. It’s a great cab, probably my favorite in the game room 👍
@@3rdFloorArcade I am so hyped. Took the day off work and everything. Lol
@@KyleExplosion nice! That’s funny I actually took off the day I got my last cabinet also haha
@@3rdFloorArcade Don't want to tempt a porch pirate having a massive box sitting in front of my house.
Is KoF 03 on it? Or anything other that snks fighters?
KOF 03 is on there. The MVSX is definitely fighter heavy but it’s got some good non-fighting games too like Shock Troppers, the Metal Slug series, Sengoku and some sports titles.
Beautifull 😍😍😍
Thanks for checking out the video C M 👍
I love that you have this but its not for me....WAY TO MANY COOL GAMES MISSING....hopefully if they release another one this year it will have a much better games list....needs more variety and sports games!! Great video as always 👊
Thanks David! I agree it’s def fighter heavy, I bet they end up doing another cab like this with whole new lineup of Neo Geo games. There’s still a ton more classics. I would def snag that up if they make it. Thanks as always brother! 👍
I used to steal money to play the games on this machine damn those days are long gone all is left are nothing but memories
So many great memories from the 80s and 90s in the arcades. Those Neo Geo titles were some of my favorites 👍
@3rdFloorArcade --- Emulation or actual hardware?
How much without stand?
@@antiWhiteism777 it’s $499 without the stand currently on Amazon. It’s a better deal I think with the stand. Games are emulation.
Fenómeno
heck yeah my boi Terry
Terry Bogard is the man 👍
Great review brother! Sorry I’m 7 months late LOL
Thanks so much bro! 👍
Had mine only 6 months played it a few times..Now boots to white screen .Before that it boot to black screen.. Contacted them and still no solution..
Man that really stinks. I hope they offer a solution. Sounds like a bad board in it.
No Magician Lord and Cyberslip, or are they included also?
Magician Lord is on there.
@@3rdFloorArcade ah, cool, good to know, Thanks!
Id just get a mistercade and a couple arcade sticks and hook it up to the TV
meu Deus que luxo. Maravilha
Nice arcade buddy. I had too on my youtube channel 👍
Thanks Hika Gamu, appreciate that man 👍
These arcade cabinets were always one of my favorites... Samurai Showdown was so much fun back in the 90s. I always like seeing what different or new games the cabs would have.
Those Neo Geo cabs were so awesome back in the day. 👍
Love the MVSX but I haven’t picked it up yet 🤣
I think the MVSX would look amazing in your great arcade room you got there my friend 👍
@@3rdFloorArcade I know I definitely want to get it but I’ve been so busy trying to get all my mods done on my current set up haha. Trying to finish everything before I add new stuff to mix! 😂
@@DreamcastKyle nice! Looking forward to seeing your next mod dude. I think my next cab won’t be until that Capcom Legacy mid March.
@@3rdFloorArcade Yeah I’m thinking mine won’t be until Killer Instinct ! Whenever that may be!
@@DreamcastKyle hopefully in the spring!
Hi there, nice video, can you insert coins in the slots? Do they work?
Thanks for checking out the video TheThinker82. Unfortunately you can’t insert coins on this cabinet. Those molded coin doors on there are just for looks.
Neat set up
Thanks so much Ninja Toy Reviews, really appreciate that! 👍
I'm good with the arcade stick pro and happy with it! Double hybrid of a controller and good snk fighting classics with a pixio monitor is top notch to me!
I don’t have the arcade stick pro but it really looks awesome! I saw it on sale recently and almost picked it up 👍
Useless info: the first level of Shock Troopers' music sounds similar to Ikari Warriors' theme in King of Fighters 2000, funnily enough called "The Trooper."
That’s awesome!
almost pre order on Amazon free shipping they were releasing next month now no pre order will have to buy directly pay shipping damn it.
How much are they charging for shipping on this?
@@3rdFloorArcade actually don't know because i haven't put in cart just know if i could have done Amazon 2 days and free lol
It crazy now that ipad and android tablet can play these emulators and roms.
Did you order yours directly from their website or Amazon?
I preordered mine directly from their website.
@@3rdFloorArcade Thanks! I am thinking about pulling the trigger and getting this cabinet but am on the fence because people have said there was some difficulty with the bartop fitting on the base properly and an issue with buttons sticking. I am a huge fan of neo geo, especially the samurai showdown series and would love to have it, but spending 500 bucks for faulty buttons would piss me off🤔
Yeah I think the newer models of the MVSX have upgraded buttons and speakers. I would contact them at MVSX and place an order for the newer version with the upgrades. 👍
@@3rdFloorArcade 😜 Thanks to you, they got another sale today. Just bought it. Worst case, I figure I can just replace the buttons. Small fix for a great cab. Thanks for your review, it helped me make a decision🎉🎉🎉
How long did it take to receive your machine?
I preordered mine before they came out so I was in that first wave from awhile back. They were quick to send it out once they got to the US, like a few days 👍
@@3rdFloorArcade ok thanx i just ordered mine.
@@tyh4495 nice! Great pickup, definitely one of my favorite machines in the collection.
Yeah it is worth the $500 you got one AES Neo Geo cartridges cost and more in that cost like $1,000 for one games hey how did you get the blazing stars game on there on your mvsx
*I have an extra. Like New. Check your local listings around Burbank, CA.*
Nice!
The best arcade cabinet
It’s awesome 👍
Price?
I purchased it for $499 with the base stand. It’s $50 cheaper without the base.
Oh hell yea
I have a SNK NEO GEO MVS
Backgrounds are what made new geo
The King of Fighters, Athena, Ikari Warriors, Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, and Metal Slug, is were it's at
Such classics! 👍
For $500 I can find myself a real Neo Cab. Jesus that is expensive.
Does the cab have adjustable difficulty levels? Man, those fighters on Leve 4, are impossible. LOL
Yeah, the roms they include in these compilations have difficulty settings. But the games before 1996, were hard AF even on level 1. After that, the difficulty settings are accurate and games become easier if you lower the difficulty.
Can I put this arcade in a store or small arcade to try and make a little extra cash?
I wouldn’t to be honest. I don’t think this machine would last long in a public setting with the heavy wear and tear it would take. The controls are on the cheaper side. It’s perfect for your home I think. 👍
Good to know, I might still try it in a public setting. Also is this arcade manufactured in China?
@@falco830 I would not put it in any public place where there will be children. They will tear it apart in a few hours. Remember, some people don't know how to play and will just mash on the buttons. Someone might also place their drink on it, and it will spill the liquid all over the machine.
Tony Bogard, Terry Bogard's Italian cousin.
Well, Andy Bogard did have his main stage in Italy in both FF2 and KoF 94
Shock Troopers definitely one of the best, maybe the best NEOGEO title!
I agree! Thanks for checking out the video Tom!
i wish i had the pleasure of begging mom for more money to play shock troopers lol looks awsome.
i grew up on Metal slug 3 still my fav, the Heavy Machine gun line is iconic for me.
Hold up... the buttons? Neo geo has how many buttons?!
Yeah it’s odd how this machine has the 2 extra white buttons there. I think they put them there for the modding community maybe?
I have Pandora 2500 arcade cabinet. Bought mine for $330 on eBay and it has 19” screen and real coin slots. Anyway, it’s easier and cheaper for manufacturer in China simply convert Pandora to Neo Geo with six buttons intact.
@@3rdFloorArcade The extra buttons were there for setting up your own key binds. So you can pick which of the 6 buttons you like to use.
I love the idea, but I need to hear that I can add games to it (preferably legitimately) before I pick it up.
Also, I hope that it saves high scores, but I doubt it.
Something that I don't understand is the 6 buttons layout instead of the 4 buttons one. It's SNK...
Yeah the 6 button layout is a little odd. I think the reasoning behind it was so that the cabinet could be modded easier.
Is king of monsters on this ?
It’s not unfortunately.
Have it sitting in my kitchen until I can find space elsewhere in my house for it.. If I change my locks I can keep it where it is as the wife wants it gone. Outta the kitchen! 🤣
😂😂 Kitchen is the perfect spot for it. Making dinner while playing some King Of Fighters sounds good to me!
Shock troopers? that looks like Metal Slug 3D
Shock Troopers is great, one of my favorites in the Neo Geo library.
spoilers: YES IT IS WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a great cabinet to add to the collection! 👍
No Nam 75? That's a deal breaker
No Nam 75, I wish that was included on the 50 games. Great game!
Too bad it's the censored version of Shock Troopers. Any way to play the uncensored one?
There’s two modes on there in the settings menu where you can turn on and off violence.
@@3rdFloorArcade even for Shock troopers? I thought it was only for Metal slug and SamSho?
@@DataIIDX oh yeah I think you are correct on that. I can double check on that. I’m pretty sure you’re correct though. 👍
@@3rdFloorArcade if you can check, it would be great ☺️
all those arcade 1 ups........, im a pretty big arcade buff and ive used an arcade 1up someone had and man, its not very impressive, it seems less that half the size then 3/4 like advertised even with the stand.If you like arcade machines and want a full sized machine.Just get a pandoras box arcade stick and build a arcade cabinet with a decent sized screen(computer monitor with hdmi).I own plenty of original machines and I did this with a pandoras box arcade stick to go along with my others and built the cabinet specs for spec from a fullsized neo geo machine I had,same size just painted solid gloss black, and had a company cut out some lexan glass for the front.For instance if you play donpachi or anything that used larger speakers for bass you can use a home theater sub and hook it into the speakers and keep the sub inside the arcade cabinet and you actually get that nice little punchy bass you would have experienced in an arcade and not sound from a single mono channel speaker arcade 1ups use, not to mention in the wrong spot on the 1ups so the sound comes out unnatural compared to the real thing.They even sell new arcade speakers you would find in 99% of original arcade machines from a company called retro arcade and they are cheap.these 1ups are cool but if you build a pandorasbox machine you defiantly not be dissapointed and you would have actually spent about the same as a new arcade 1up.If you ever want pictures of the one I built Ill send them too you and show you how a finished machine looks, cause once you see it Im sure it will sway your decision lol.
Awesome stuff there Kyle! I don’t own any full size cabs but definitely am considering one down the line. It’s been on my radar for awhile 👍
samurai showdown?
Yup they are on there. One of my favorite fighting series!
Defo worth it
I agree! Def a great machine 👍
I hear the sounds of Altered Beast.
Haha yeah I had that game going on the Golden Axe cabinet right next to the MVSX, that’s great arcade game knowledge by you my man! 👍
@@3rdFloorArcade Thanks, man. Your arcade is awesome.
@@matthewhall6288 thanks Matthew, really appreciate that!
amazon for neo geo MVSX $1,249.98 not $599.99
Wow that price is crazy there. It was 499 not too long ago. Try the MVSX website, it’s the normal price there 👍
I appreciate the idea of buying an officially licensed thing to give money back to the company themselves...but...
I dunno. Maybe if I was planning to mod it out with hundreds of MAME games, it'd be worth the $500. But as it stands, if I'm already spending a large amount of money, I'd rather get a Mame cabinet. I could even just have a section for NeoGeo.
It's a neat product, but I have the same opinion on 1up cabinets. It's just too expensive for the little amount of games included. It's not as neat as a full sized (or close to it) arcade cabinet, but I have an Xbox Series S, a 2tb harddrive, and a $50 fight stick (that can easily and cheaply be modded with Sanwa parts). All of that cost me less than $500. And my Mame playlist on RetroArch has 166 games (I'm still adding to it). Add to that the fancy CRT shaders and custom border/bezel artwork, and it's so much better than buying a super limited and expensive mini-cabinet like this.
I just can't justify paying the prices for 1ups or this, just to play a handful of games. To me, if I bought this, I'd be paying $500 for 50 games, a huge chunk of which are nearly identical to each other, with a fancy cabinet-shaped controller.
I'm also not the biggest fan of the screens on these things. Or more accurate, how good the screens are. They just look too clean to me. When games like these look too clean, it just reminds me that it's emulation. I know it wouldn't have been as cheap or convenient, but I'd have loved to see a machine with a little CRT in it.
___
Mind you, if you enjoy these things, more power to you. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with enjoying them. Play games however you want. Just me, personally, I can't get myself to actually want something like this if it isn't fully kitted out with Mame and tons of games. Otherwise my current setup of an Xbox with a fight stick works fine for me.
yes it's worth 500 if you bought all games digitally on ps4 at 7.99 it's 400 dollars so yes!
Nice! The MVSX is really great cab with all those Neo Geo classics and really good build quality. I’m really enjoying it! 👍

Metal Slug 3 The goat
👍
I disagree it’s a pretty weak lineup of games. They cheapened it by using mostly fighting games. How many do we actually need. The Neo Geo has dozens of other games (shooters and platformer‘s) that should’ve been on there.
A few I wish were on there are Neo Turf Masters, Blazing Star, Windjammers and Pulstar.

just got this played it for 1 hour stuck it back in the box and put on ebay and sold it, the thing is too small it smashes my hand , speakers distorting ,buttons suck & is a piece of shit
😂😂😂 sucks for you dude
that Shock Troopers game looked like a rip-off of Metal Slug. Funny how game companies make "different" games and try to sell them as new things
I have no idea how you can look at those two games and say either is a ripoff of the other. The differences are immediate.
Why is art of fighting 2 and shock troopers 2 missing?
Yeah those two games definitely should’ve been included on there.
