Income results on Japanese arcade games
One thing that operators always want to know about before buying a game is “Did it test well?”. Good testing generally (but not always) indicates how well a game will do elsewhere although publishers typically do not release the actual results of these tests – outside Japan. But in Japan such data is easily »

Games we're glad to have missed: Tattoo Assassins
So it’s Saturday and naturally the arcade news spigot turns from “trickle” to “off” (or on occasion, “drip”) and it is fun to check out some of the strange things that have come along in arcades through the years. The game I am looking at right now is more than strange – other words »
Missing in Action: Scrolling Fighters

If you missed previous articles, we have already covered Space Games and Puzzle »

Golden Tee to be featured at all Chicago Rush home games
Before I get started I should point out that this article discusses American-football and not soccer (or what is called football everywhere else 🙂 ). In particular it discusses Arena Football, which is a different league than the NFL known as the AFL. From what I know, Arena Football is all indoors and has »
Even more Street Fighter IV News
It’s never ending isn’t it? Two more pieces of SF4 news has filtered through, both from Kotaku. First up there is talk that the console version of Street Fighter 4 will include a bigger roster. This news disappoints me slightly, obviously. Perhaps they will release these characters in a later revision of the arcade game? The »
