Arcade Heroes - The Saviors of Coin-op

https://arcadeheroes.com - ...and dying a bit more than usual. My excuse is I was paying more attention to my conversation about Gimmick than the game :P P-47 Aces Mk.II was released earlier in 2022 worldwide via the exA-Arcadia system and is a remaster/remake of the original 1996 arcade shmup by Jaleco. The original game is playable on this, as are two new modes, the Mk.II remix being the one I'm playing here and it's really well done and a lot of fun. In 4-player mode, players can grab power-ups much like how it's handled in Dariusburst AC (one player touches one and it remains for others to grab). Great pixel art and animations on this one. #arcade #shmup #gamingvideo Help Arcade Heroes out by purchasing a product with one of our designs on it: https://www.teepublic.com/user/arcadeheroes Interact with the Arcade Heroes community on Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/i/E0L6LGME Or interact on Discord: https://discord.gg/gtzzEbe

https://arcadeheroes.com - No commentary needed for this one, just a single song play on Andamiro's Pump It Up XX. It had been thought that Andamiro was ending the series but the appearance at IAAPA shows otherwise. #PIU #dance #arcade Help Arcade Heroes out by purchasing a product with one of our designs on it: https://www.teepublic.com/user/arcadeheroes Interact with the Arcade Heroes community on Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/i/E0L6LGME Or interact on Discord: https://discord.gg/gtzzEbe

https://arcadeheroes.com - I'm close to done with the IAAPA 2022 videos but there are often clips I miss at first.

https://arcadeheroes.com - Looking for a VR rhythm game that isn't about slashing notes? Now there's Synth Riders, a licensed VR game for arcades by VRsenal. Punch/block or follow the visual synths and avoid obstacles* for points. Comes with a much nicer frame rate than VRsenal's other game, and overall better visuals than Beat Saber but it does have a small issue with input lag that would bother hardcore players but probably not be noticed by casuals. #synthwave #arcade #vr *(I don't get this obstacle avoiding thing in any VR rhythm game, Beat Saber introducing it - such a mechanic disrupts the flow of the beat and getting "into the zone" is a major part of enjoying arcade rhythm games. Seems it is there to justify the VR , ala zooming gimmicks in 3D movies.)

https://arcadeheroes.com - Just a brief look at the Stern Pinball booth as setup at IAAPA 2022. I had planned on getting more footage of JAmes Bond 007 but they didn't allow for "streaming" even though that's not what I was doing. Even then, the game is public and this notion that you can't film it is idiotic - unless they're embarrassed by the bland/poor game design.
