Other than OG SF, the collection of games on this is good. That said, if you're interested in this, get a tape measure, extend it 19", then have a friend stand next to you and pretend to play. Keep in mind that 19" is the total width and the P1 joystick and P2 buttons are each about 1.5" to 2" from the edge, so the actual control deck is more like 16" for two people. It's not that you can't do it...it's if you want to do it. Original units were around 27-30" wide if memory serves.
I own the MK I, II, III Ultimate version and it's great. Arcade Up creates these mini versions to save space. $250 (cabinet) + $100 (riser) is not bad at all considering what it is. I vaguely remembered my rich friends in HS got a SF II Championship Edition at their house. It may have been 3k. In the 90's that was a lot of cash bro. I'm in finance and my poor parents would not have entertained that idea. I would have gotten a beating just for wishing.
But I digress. You could always use/repurpose the cabinet, swap out with a PI and run your emulation platform.
QVC and believe others have the Riser and Light Up Marquee for $299.... Thou many great deals just passed for Arcade1up, last week there were many Slickdeals for sure!

Some of the games included aren't fighting games and Capcom had tons of obscure arcade games around this time that they could have put in. At the very least they could have included Street Fighter 3. Three different versions of the same game makes no sense.
If street fighter 3 isn't on a cabinet already, expect several in the future only after they run thru every variation of Street fighter 2 they can think of (I bolieve there's 7 cabinets). Gotta milk that cow dry
I struck out with BB chat. The agent I connected with in chat was quick to point out differences I.e riser and sent the link to 449 version on Walmart.
I've owned this version for 3+ years. Bought it from Walmart when the gen2 machines came out for $100. No riser. Can't attest to the games, however. As soon as I got it I ripped out the computer for a raspberry pi setup with after markets sticks and buttons. About another $120 invested at the time. We'll worth it. The rumors are true. Tested with adults and it's very hard to play because of the lack of horizontal space. Now I Play it with my GFs son every blue moon. He's 4 and is the right size for this thing when standing. Probably be uncomfortable for him at 8, or 9 years old. I don't know if I would buy it again at this new sales price. I bought it before these system caught on in popularity.
Decent price, thanks.
Is this the one that people pan because the marquee blocks taller people's view of the LCD? Not that I need to worry about that.
And people complaining about the width, check out 99livesarcade, arcademodup, Tulsaarcades etc. Not really my thing, dumping (that much) more money into these units, but it gives you options or if you like to work with wood it gives you ideas. I like the idea of the "boss" ones at 99lives— extends the control panel towards you and uses the extra depth to allow the 1p and 2p to be more spaced out by rotating them diagonally.
If you do choose to pony up, make sure and pick one that explicitly states it is made for Legacy cabs though!

This exactly. I'm short enough that the height doesn't bother me, but anyone above 5'9 it's an issue. I'm making an extra 3-4" riser this weekend for it. Some people use furniture rises, but I don't like the look.
I raised the deck 1/2" already. Will likely build my own deck soon, as it is just a bit too tight.

I did this previously with the MK2 legacy 12-in-1 via a tip from a SD post about that cabinet earlier this year.
Wow thank you Shaeet for this! I got it as well 🚀

other than that, i's a 5-10 min job. I also hot glued the nuts in place. (insert jokes here)
Launch box
Android or PC
20000 games. Make your own or use laptop, tv,
at game control sticks that were on sale for half off work great through Bluetooth.
why 12 games versus 20000
