Another review double feature: Chase HQ2 & 1942
I’ve got another couple of reviews uploaded to the internet, this time Chase HQ2 by Taito and 1942 by Romstar/Capcom. I uploaded the CHQ2 video to Vimeo and 1942 to youtube for the time being and when I get a chance (i.e. more time as it takes a while to upload a 200MB file) »

Nanotech adds three more boards to it's MultiPin system
It looks like Nanotech wasn’t satisfied with adding just Gottlieb tables to their new video pinball game called MultiPin, they now have worked out a deal with Blindmankind pinball to add their tables to the system as well. I wasn’t really familiar with them so with some checking I see that they have the »

GlobalVR to bring DC Comic's Justice League to arcades
A little while back you might recall that we posted a press release from Signature Devices that referred to some sort of arcade game that would be featuring licensed characters from a DC comic franchise.

Some may also recall that they made video games for a »

Fighter mania continues with BlazBlue
The notion that no one wants to play fighters in the arcade anymore is silly. Apparently Capcom and Namco thinks so when it comes to the US but I have noticed a very interesting trend in my two weeks of running the arcade – there are a lot of fighting fans out there who »
Guitar Freaks v5 & DrumMania v5 hit arcades in Japan
[Kotaku via IT] Good to see that Konami’s instrument games are still going strong. It’s just a shame we don’t get to see these games that much in the UK. I’d like to think I’d be half decent at them, seeings as I have been playing a lot of Rock Band the last few »
