Super Street Fighter IV is also coming to the Arcades this summer in Japan. It’s also possible that the arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV will also come to the US.

    I highly, highly doubt that Capcom will “officially” release SSFIV to US arcades. Most likely you’ll see locations that picked up the first SFIV upgrade their units and if the price of SSFIV kits comes down a couple more locations pick one up. Otherwise it looks more like a Japan-only thing (officially). Still, we can always hope.

I work for WFD World’s Fastest Drummer. We have a new Arcade version of WFD that’s doing really well in it’s early arcade location test. it is our honor to be included in the above list of games and brands. Thnaks so much for including WFD the Arcade Game.

Apple Industries may be debuting a new machine at the IAAPA Expo called the “Mobile Star” though they have been very secretive about it thus far. Might be worth swinging by their booth and getting the scoop.

    It sounds like a redemption game based upon the name alone but I’ll be sure to drop by and see what they have.

      Actually it’s a karaoke booth, similar to the defunct American Idol Star Studio. There is suppose to be a working prototype at New Roc City in NY but I’ve been unable to find any video and only one measly photograph of it online. I heard a rumor it was going to debut at the IAAPA but thus far Apple Ind. won’t confirm or deny that info.

        Ah, that’s more interesting then. American Idol had debuted at IAAPA 2008 but it was canceled a couple of months later – perhaps Apple Ind. will have better luck but who knows.
