The world of coin-op arcade entertainment is alive and well and here is your place to track what is slated to hit venues around the world through 2015. We are doing a new format for the page this year by using the tab feature in WordPress. Simply select the region you wish to browse below via the tabs. Expect frequent updates to this page as we learn of new releases!
Previous Year Lists: 2014 / 2013 / 2012 / 2011 / 2010 / 2009
Note: We call “Video Redemption” games “Videmption” here, so units where the primary focus of the video game is to win tickets (as opposed to that being an after-thought option) are located under the Videmption tab.
North America
Listed are titles which are receiving “official” distribution or manufacturing in the Western Hemisphere. Imports might occur from Asia but that is a difficult thing to track.
‘*‘ indicate kits – Released only as a package to upgrade an existing cabinet to a new game.
Ӕ indicates that the game is Arcade Exclusive (I don’t use it for pinball since that is assumed with the territory)

Videmption
Video Redemption, or as I like to call it: Videmption, has become an odd area of arcade gaming where sometimes video arcade games are given a ticket redemption feature as an optional afterthought while others it is the entire focus of the game, enough that without the redemption it wouldn’t really work. So this tab was designed to try and track these releases separately from the pure video arcade amusement games.

Where can I find an arcade near me?
If you want to find one of these games near you then you can check up with the following websites which track current arcade locations. They may not have the newest games listed yet, as those have to be added to each site by users or administrators but they are usually pretty good at keeping up-to-date.
