Bandai Namco brings blockbuster lineup to IAAPA Expo US 2026

Resident Evil 2 Arcade by Capcom & Bandai Namco Amusements

Resident Evil™ 2 Arcade, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Ninja Coin Clash and PAC-MAN Baller Derby lead biggest-ever attraction showcase in Orlando

Bandai Namco Amusement Europe will bring a packed programme of arcade entertainment across two halls at this year’s IAAPA Expo US in Orlando, with three major titles set to debut.

From survival shooter to iconic anime-inspired redemption and first-of-its-kind basketball racing, the three-stand showcase highlights the variety of experiences available to FECs looking to refresh their floors and give players new reasons to visit.

Survival shooter fans can look forward to Resident Evil™ 2 Arcade, a new shooting experience based on one of gaming’s best-known Capcom IPs. Launching in Spring 2027, the two-player co-op machine features a realistic recoil gun controller, air blasts, and floor-vibration effects to immerse players in the terror of the Raccoon City outbreak.

Anime fans are also catered for with a preview of NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Ninja Coin Clash, a themed coin pusher inspired by one of the most-watched global anime brands. Players can enjoy a card feature and a prominent jackpot ‘splash’ to add appeal on busy redemption floors.

Social attraction PAC-MAN Baller Derby pits four players against each other around a large LED display, combining precise basketball shooting with a first-past-the-post racing-style challenge. Early results from major venues in the US and UK show strong performance, with the machine placing second out of 212 titles on initial location testing and earning more than other licensed basketball titles.

Visitors can also get an exclusive first look at a new licensed Warner Bros. vending product, with more details to be confirmed ahead of the show.

This year marks Bandai Namco’s 20th anniversary of partnering with Raw Thrills, with its arcade portfolio, including Stranger Things Arcade™ and Godzilla: Kaiju Wars, adding further variety to the line-up, and a party to celebrate the milestone planned to take place during the show dates.

James Anderson, Commercial and Sales Director at Bandai Namco Amusement Europe, said: “Every year, we bring our strongest line-up of machines to IAAPA Expo US, and this year, we have gone even bigger, with three stands across two halls.

“Visitors to stands S4409, S4609 and S809 can enjoy the debuts of some of our most exciting new products, featuring some of the world’s biggest IPs, a showcase of Bandai Namco Experience’s One Piece attractions and more reveals to come closer to the show opening its doors.

“We can’t wait to be there and celebrate the industry with friends and colleagues in the South Building this November.”
