Stay up-to-date with this comprehensive list of arcade releases for the 2011 calendar year. This includes games already released and those which have been hinted at a release by their parent companies. If you want more information on each game, I will be adding specific pages detailing each game with videos, pictures and other links so you can easily learn more about it.
I have split it up by regions (Asia/Europe/United States) where we most often hear about releases. Asia has a larger list of announced titles partly because companies there will usually announce new games months in advance whereas in markets such as Europe and the US they tend to wait until the game is very close to being released. If you see any errors on the list, please let us know!
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 new games listed yet, as those have to be added to each site by users or administrators.
