Update: There is apparently an issue with the battery life with certain models (or possibly all models) of this mini arcade. It loses it's charge within an hour or two of playing after a full recharge. You can keep it plugged up to play but these systems do NOT come bundled with a power adapter. I've now noticed this problem with our unit but I'll keep you all posted if a fix becomes available.

A firmware fix has been released and fixes this issue. And no, Centipede was kickstarted before Tempest. Tempest was not pulled as it hasn’t released yet. As of 1/27/19 Tempest is now shipping. This is not a guess, as I have personally kickstarted both.

Thank you for telling us.

I have a track ball controller for PS1 and that's how I play Centipede. You're right, a track ball is a must to play Centipede.

Centipede my all time favorite game..when I was a kid in the late 80s my dad bought us centipede arcade machine.. I’ve spend many many hours playing .. I have yet to play any emulated version of centipede that feels like the true arcade experience.. this looks really cool though

I have the Centipede one, I want Galaga and Ms. PacMan.

How is this impressive? Shrinking down like a 30 year old piece of technology is not impressive lolz. Our smartphones can play fucking gta san andreas. Also this form factor is horrible and the screen is small. I dont see why anyone would want to play this.

Great review, looks rad!

For what it is, that is pretty impresive

Finally! D-pads and joysticks are poor substitutes for a trackball controller. Hopefully this will generate the demand for more products like this so retro gamers can enjoy their favorite trackball games with actual trackball controllers. Thanks for another great review!

Very cool mini arcade cab. Just to let you know, though. The Atari 2600 did get a Track Ball controller that Centipede and Millipede were compatible with.

The trackball on the Arcade 1up is Awesome for their Centipede cabinet.

Thanks helped me decide

I'm convinced

It would be very funny if they would create "fake tokens" like here to trigger "insert coin" function as a fun little gimmick. There's always something satisfying about hearing that coin insertion process happening to trigger the game.

thats really cool :D though I think ill wait till this company puts out Missile command before I consider buying

Well goddamn, I'll be waiting for my Golden Tee mini cab now lol!

This is pretty cool, there’s so many little things that they put into this tiny machine, they could’ve easily slapped it together to get a few quick bucks from nostalgia heads who see this in store, though for the price? OUCH!

With the Steam Controller, you can get a pretty close fell when you play with the version on steam.

you may not have noticed this but that machine is actually running android KitKat (judging by the style of the settings menu, it´s identical to KitKat´s Holo theme)

I've seen track ball smaller then that in a phone made by symphony. I think the model was x110.

Bought one from New Wave, loved it and bought another! (I'm a collector, one to play and one to keep pristine in box.) Btw they're only $120 now. People pay more than that for a heavily modded game boy these days.

Just emulate centipede on an early 90s laptop #trackball included

Review bro geo mini pls

I wish the had super Mario bros on this version, that would be cool.

gods, they even tried to replicate the edges finish around the cabinet front... O.O

If the miniature cabinet doesn't pull you out of the experience, I doubt the battery indicator will.

just use retropie and tank stick..then you've almost the full experience

I picked up an original cocktail cabinet for $10, yes T-E-N American dollars (but wait there’s more) at a garage sale. Was told it made sound but no video. I figured I could take a look at it and if I couldn’t fix it for cheap I would use it as a desk or possibly just part it out. Got it home, opened the top, and reconnected some loose wires. It started right up in all of its neon colored, synth orchestrated glory! The coin box was locked and I almost ave up after an hour or so of trying to get it open. But,! when I did, I found like $6-$8 in coinage. I love that machine, my body and die became so good that we could easily go on to do a three hour marathon‘s. Unfortunately I had to move and didn’t have room, so it sits in my uncles basement two hours away, but something like this or 1ups 4ft cabinet have been calling my name. Great video bro!

a few points: 1) as mentioned, there is a hardware issues with retaining a charge, which cant be fixed, so be aware of that 2) it's NOT a 1:1 replica, the bezel is wrong, and missing elements, the spacing of the buttons and trackball is wrong, and not accurate with the arcade version, and of course the scale is wrong on the start buttons 3) since a mouse uses a ball (unless its optical pad), it is possible to play this just as accurately on a pc, if you adjust the analog settings in MAME, i've gotten several hundred thousand using a mouse. also there are plenty of trackball controllers for the PC 4) its a nice attempt at recreating centipede, but it's most for collectors and for looks. anyone that's good at the game would never actually use this to play the game due to its scale. i love centipede, but not $160 worth. later -1

Rerez, I love my New Wave Toys Centipede as well, but mine came with a faulty battery. I have to keep it plugged in to play it. It stopped keeping a charge after the first 3 days of having it. You may want to test yours by charging it up, letting it sit for 24 hours, and then trying to turn it on. My battery discharges completely after that amount of time, and on a full charge, I can now only get about 5 minutes of play time before the battery dies. But you may as well not report the problem to New Wave Toys. Customer service? None that I've seen. I've reached out to New Wave Toys about my battery issue via their trouble ticket process back on September 28th and they still have yet to respond. They provided me an email, confirming that I put in a ticket, along with a link to check on the status. Unfortunately, the link is bogus. If you try to click on the link, it will bring you to their website and ask you to login. Problem is, I've never been asked to create an account. I tried the "forgot password" method, which just returns an error. I tried to create an account using my email address, and it said there was already an account. I even tried creating a new account, but to no avail. As a last ditch effort, I replied to the trouble ticket email, and still have gotten no response. Don't get me wrong, I still love this little Centipede machine, but I am beyond frustrated with the lack of support to make things right. Unfortunately for me, I backed another one of their mini arcade projects on Kickstarter, a Tempest machine. If this experience is indicative of how they treat their backers, and I don't care how cool their next project is, this will be the last time they'll see another cent from me. Thanks as always for your great video game content! vgv
