Welcome to Newsbytes, a weekend collection of various arcade/pinball news items that are curated for your reading and viewing pleasure. I do try to get this posted on Saturday, but ended up getting delayed from various life things. I did find out that Season 2 of High Score Girl has been posted to Netflix »

It might seem a little odd to be talking about location tests right now, but not everywhere is locked down, as Japan has mostly recovered from the pandemic. Various locations have re-opened their doors (whether or not people are electing to go out to the arcade is another facet that I’m sure locations have »

Happy Monday everyone, today we have a guest post by Kevin Williams of The Stinger Report. His article is based upon a 2017 post from Tony Temple (Arcadeblogger.com), where he wanted to provide more insight into such “arcade raid” situations, but his normal newsletter isn’t really the place for such a thing. I believe »

This week has been a little busier than the “usual” for arcade news lately  – no idea if that is indicative of anything, but I’m not complaining. Here are your Newsbytes for the weekend: Save The Arcades Updates It’s no mystery that every arcade out there is in trouble in one way or another »

July 10, 2020, 2 Comments on Sega Announces Initial D: The Arcade

I was bouncing back and forth on this one being it’s own post instead of saving it for Newsbytes, but it’s Initial D, so let’s go ahead. The Initial D series doesn’t need much of an introduction, it being one of the pinnacles of arcade racing that has been around since the early 2000’s.  »

Sega Amusements Int’l Fully Re-Opens

July 1, 2020, No Comments on Sega Amusements Int’l Fully Re-Opens

The news cycle for the past few months has been a cycle of closures, indefinite closures, re-openings, & re-closures. It’s been a little hard to track it all, since every industry has been affected in one way or another. For the arcade side, I’ve detailed plenty of that, although we still have plenty of »

Hello and welcome to this summer edition of Newsbytes. Arcade news itself has been pretty slow this week, apart from talking about Chuck E. Cheeses, but we’ve got enough “bytes” to hopefully tide you over for now. I almost missed this, but happy 48th anniversary to Atari Corp as of today. I always think »

June 25, 2020, 1 Comment on Will Chuck E. Cheeses Survive?

I’m not leading this story with the headline “Chuck E. Cheeses files for bankruptcy,” as it seems to be taken incorrectly by some. Unfortunately, I’ve found that many “readers” on both Facebook and Twitter refuse to actually click on the stories and read them. This modern trend of just reading headlines and forming deep »

It’s time to celebrate another game anniversary, as Taito appears to have taken a page from all of the celebrations surrounding Pac-Man’s 40th, and come up with their own ways to celebrate the game that made the company a force to be reckoned with. Space Invaders did celebrate 40 years back in 2018, but this »
