New FEC called Kids Castle opens in Burbank, CA + some other arcade/economic news
(Photo: Alex Collins/Leader) While it’s generally been accepted that there is a ‘worldwide economic slowdown’ (although personally I never am quick to believe that it’s always as bad as the news says it is since they have a vested interest in fearmongering for ratings) that isn’t slowing down the news we’re getting of new »
Chuck E. Cheese – where adults can't learn to play nice
At the very first arcade that I worked at, they had a large area of redemption games and of course a redemption desk. For the most part things went smoothly there but on occasion we’d get the ‘pleasure’ of watching an adult throw a larger tantrum than any spoiled child we ever saw there. While the »

IAAPA 2008: Final Round-up (now with some release dates)
We’ve received a final batch of pictures from the IAAPA show in Florida (thanks again to Kevin Williams of The Stinger Report)and it’s only fitting to ‘finalize’ our coverage of the event. Overall I think that it was a great show, in terms of new games and what we can look forward to coming »

Capcom: No SFIV Arcade for the US
I figure it’s good to get this out of the way before the main page is flooded with IAAPA info. Capcom has come around and made it official – SFIV will not come to arcades in the US. It’s not much of a surprise now since the console release is in Februrary and the »

Jerad's Choice BBH Online Tourney
Sorry about the lack of updates the past few days – I’ve been busy, busy ,busy with the arcade and other things in life. It seems like when one machine breaks down they all decide to take a trip with it. I can just say at least most machines carry a 1 year warranty. »

Konami is location testing the next version of their GuitarFreaks and DrumMania games in Japan (the original use-a-music-instrument-as-a-controller games) and it seems like it wasn’t long ago that they were doing the same with GFV5 and DMV5. We don’t have any details on what is different about these games yet from V5 or previous »
