My Arcade, you've outdone yourself! Ideal on all fronts.

I have been collecting "My Arcade" cabinets for a long time. Their early mini-games, while always of excellent quality, required some work, especially on the ROM side, which always used the NES versions of each game. However, their new premium line is exactly what retro fans have been waiting for. First in line was the amazing premium arcade game Space Invaders, which not only (finally) used the original arcade ROM, but also deviated from its classic "one size fits all" template, resulting in a one-of-a-kind collector's item. My Arcade has done it again with this Street Fighter. The cabinet is a beautiful, fully reproducible replica that should be exactly how My Arcade treats all of its future cabinets. WARDROBE: The wardrobe is actually larger than the pictures online and looks very impressive in person. The quality surpasses the previous "simple" models (probably on the level of Space Invaders). Walking line lighting, like all other premium thumbnails. The shape is high quality, as are the glossy graphics on all sides. SCREEN: The screen size has increased from 2.75 to 3.5 inches and it looks great. Viewing angles have also improved, no issues when viewing during gameplay. Case brightness can be controlled from the main menu - a great new feature that shows a much better chip is used inside. Control quality is excellent, I didn't find the joystick to wobble like one review suggested. You can even slightly modify the control panel (by removing it with the two side screws) and replace the buttons or joystick if you'd like (you could also open this thing up from the back, tap-tap, and fiddle with the circuit board). REAL GAME: Nothing to say as this is the original Arcade ROM. The game looks great and sounds great (volume can be increased). Due to the good control, she could perform all movements very easily. This machine rivals my Arcade1up machine in terms of playability. Overall an excellent machine - solid 5 stars. Can't comment on the CO/VS mode (2 player game) as I only have one car, but I'll be sure to buy another one once it's in stock. My Arcade - PLEASE keep up what you are doing and keep this amazing suite of premium games going. You have outdone yourself with this.
