UPDATE: Polygon.com has just confirmed what I heard from my source. What will be at the NYCC event next week is going to be a new Star Wars game. That is just want I had heard along with it may use the Mach Storm cabinet for some dome screen action. So what you can expect is something along the lines of Mach Storm but in an X-Wing fighter.
Imagine this game with an X-Wing. That should do the trick
So this is a little odd. Yesterday as I was rushing around the city (moving houses so any posts this week will likely be brief), I received a text from a source that suggested that the big game Bandai Namco Amusements will unveil is not related to Time Crisis 5, as I had as my top guess in a recent post about the subject. What they say it will be is very intriguing but I need more info before going ahead on spilling those beans. I wouldn’t want to get this one wrong.
That said, the always reliable and credible AM-Net unveiled today that Bandai Namco is going to be holding some “Autumn new product business meetings” in a few weeks, which is typical for Japanese companies to do. With that they give us confirmation that yes, Time Crisis 5 is coming our way. BNA will also be showing off the arcade version of Tekken 7 at that time.
The source that texted me is a very reliable source that hasn’t let me down yet so this makes me wonder – could Time Crisis 5 not be the game that the NYCC event is all about? They suggest it is something related to a very big IP that would make more sense to show at a Comic Con but then again, they could take the opportunity to show Time Crisis 5 now and this other major project for 2015. May as well do the “two birds with one stone” approach since you will have all of that media attention going on.
As stated, I need more info/confirmation before divulging further but that is what I have to share for now. Comment away!

Wow.. Just wow. I can’t believe it after all this time. I didn’t think it would happen this year at the least since Namco are bringing out lost land adventure this year for the next. I wonder also if The house of the dead 5 will be just around the corner as both a new time crisis and the house of the dead tend to get released very close in dates to each other like the 4th both came out 2005, the 3rd 2002 and the second 1997 and 98 (although time crisis 2 came first).
If that’s not the mystery game then maybe it could be wmmt 4 showcase. You were right btw arcadehero about mariokart arcade gp deluxe needing an Internet connection as I saw a phone wire from the side of one of the cabinets with a little green square with a global icon with a slash.
