For those who have been eagerly awaiting the release of Raw Thrills’/Konami’s Guitar Hero Arcade, the wait is finally over as models are shipping out to distributors across the country. My own local distributor received some yesterday and those were going to be heading out to locations that had already purchased the game so maybe if you’re lucky you might find a location where this is at this weekend, or at least by next weekend.
It should be interesting to see how this does for arcades, I know that it has tested quite well and as long as locations that grab one take advantage of the popularity of the game and hold tournaments for it, it should remain a high earning game for a while. Of course if it does really well as expected, I then wonder if we’ll see another explosion of music games for the coin-op industry in the US.
Guitar Hero Arcade is now in the “Already Released” column on our Arcade Game Release List for 2009.
Interested in purchasing a Guitar Hero Arcade set up for a PHX club. Please let me know what info you can provide me with.
Thanks a trillion

You’ll need to find a distributor of coin-operated games that serves your particular area. They can get you taken care of.
