Alliance Entertainment is Cokem's parent company. AE acquired them in 2021. So this is just solidifying their deal with Cokem, making it completely exclusive, which is why I wouldn't view this with much optimism in terms of getting cabs we want. They arent gaining any new DTC options that didnt already have and werent already using.
Opening the arcade 1up market and reducing stock for stores is huge. Unfortunately, this probably mean the end to incredible liquidation sales now stocking won't be an issue. Thanks for the update
Good news for Arcade1Up and hopefully we will see some improvements here in Canada. The selection here has become dismal over the last year or so. The biggest retailer is The Brick furniture store and their selection has been fading quickly. Essentially if you want a certain title here in Canada, I have to drive to the US (Michigan) or order it directly from Arcade1Up at a ridiculous inflated cost. MKII Deluxe for example, no where to buy it in Canada. That's frustrating...
Yeah it is. We did get the cab for a short while and I picked it up but looks like it’s sold out again. Fast & Furious just never came and some other deluxe models as well and no Pac-Man XL. Hopefully a new distributor will open things up
Looking forward to the new tables. Also a big fan of The Princess Bride. All of my Arcade 1Up cabinets were either heavily discounted by the retailer or used.
Interesting news for Arcade1up. I'm not sure if it's good or bad but realistically anything Arcade1up does to get out of the slump they've been in all year can't be too bad.
The drip feed for Bally/Williams is ridiculous. 5 Williams tables in the past 2 years, at least a dozen other licenses they snuck in. I know they had massive layoffs but if not for the Williams fans Pinball FX wouldn't be nearly as successful as it is. In no small part to FREE gameplay testing by us and invaluable feed back from pro players like Pinballwiz45b. Zen dropped the ball hard with Williams.
Arcade one up Canadian prices are way too high, it’s half the price here in the US which is still too high depending on the arcade, but you get what I’m trying to say
I always thought you lean towards original authentic games / pinball . So why do you even care about Zen studios recreating them? They are not even close to the genius creators on VPX . But I like your videos .
There's a BJ's warehouse a few miles from my house. I'm a BJ's member. Its not as exciting as you'd hope :) Name comes from initials of the founder's daughter. Its like Sam's Club with a less impressive food court, but they accept coupons, so there can be decent deals.
never going to be banzai run if you've never played it you need both top and bottom play Fields there is no back glass on that game I played a bunch of times trust me you there's no way they're going to put that out there
Hi Guys, Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think of the Arcade1Up Business News and What Pinball FX announced and teased!
BJ'S Wholesale is a competitor to Sam's Club and Costco. Same business model. Very common in New England where i am.

100% the liquidation sales will be done

Morphia pinball is interesting because you can swap out the mechanical parts to get more machines out of one.
Lets hope the XL's come out moar!
Well that one is locked behind Costco it looks like

Thank you sir for bringing back that UA-cam jazz!
Seems the Rumors were true then about Arcade1up Nuff Said
What rumor specifically?

Thanks for the shout out! That's what we content creators call click bait. lol
You have sold your soul for clickbait
@@MichaelBtheGameGenie muhahahha
Hey James I got a shout out and didn't have to sell my soul, lol
Brilliant observation!!
And if you are right we might finally get that SW XL and QBert and the like … thanks!
I still want Robotron or Berzerk!!!
Me too, me too
So we gotta bother AENT for that Robotron XL cab now?
I wish it was PINBOT. Alas, that was released in 1986.
At least we already have Bride!

The original was great though, not sure why it was missed.

In conclusion: Arcade1Up is NOT dead as told in tons of videos here on YT 😂
Goat simulator 3 is a really fun And pretty decent game. Wacky sense of humor. I love it personally
Dora The Explorer! Yeah.. doubt they are going to understand the Arcade Community. We Will See!
I know it’s Friday night but no Costco pub table news?? 😂
You can’t have a name like Dora Dvir and not secretly be a supervillain…
Sounds to me like they're just trying to liquidate their current stock.

haha not that kinda BJ. BJ's is like a Costco or Sam's Club.

LOL I'm in Canada we don't have BJ Warehouse here....BJ's on the other hand
