Too bad that it continues the trend of putting (too) small screens into this "mini" builds. I know it supposed to be smaller - but not if the cab could easily fit a bigger screen.

I've wrote about this when NEO GEO mini was announced - they could easily fit 5" screen in the same cabinet - but opted to use tiny 3.5"

The same story with ASTRO CITY. Or even worse - because they've used small screen, and on top of that - it's not even 4:3 screen. It's 16:10 !!!
I've made some measurements and wrote about it HERE (https://www.facebook.com/ONYXarcade/photos/pcb.1598019667040212/1598023030373209/?type=3&theater)

I've lost all hope after the NEO GEO mini. I was hoping for a bartop cab that will be pricey - but high quality. NEO GEO was always for me a synonym of "well worth the (high) price". Until that toys'r'us mini-monstrosity was brought to life.

Interesting how they can get all pissy and mad about us "stealing their stuff" to do our hobby/passion. Yet they can turn around and steal all our ideas and work and make a million dollars on it!

I still want one though....
