Arcade Heroes - The Saviors of Coin-op

https://arcadeheroes.com - I've shown off Outnumbered (LAI Games) before, but decided to show one of my efforts on the official Amusement Expo 2020 Competition for the game. My first effort (that I thought was recording, but wasn't) was better than this one...oh well :P This game features a free-to-use app called the "Weapons Forge," which allows you to track scores/progress, find locations, build new weapons and compete in tournaments. Available now where ever arcade machines are sold.

https://arcadeheroes.com - It's 2020, and apart from it apparently being the Cancel Apocalypse, it's also supposed to be the year where the world comes together to compete in sports via the Olympics. While the Mario & Sonic Olympic games tend to stick to Nintendo platforms, they've also found a place in arcades thanks to Sega launching Rio 2016 and now the Tokyo 2020 version of the game for coin-op. This game does play differently from the Switch version with some obvious changes, but at it's core it's the same.

https://arcadeheroes.com - Checking out the near-final release version of Nitro Trucks, driving the Bang Pao track. As mentioned in the video, there were some enhancements to the gameplay and graphics from the build seen at IAAPA 2019. This is aiming for a late spring release.

https://arcadeheroes.com/2020/03/06/touch-magix-to-launch-two-at-amusement-expo-2020-ticket-pinball-spacewarp-66-am/ - Another new release from Touch Magix, here is the Amusement/Arcade edition of their videmption racing game, SpaceWarp 66. How far can you get?

https://arcadeheroes.com/2020/03/06/touch-magix-to-launch-two-at-amusement-expo-2020-ticket-pinball-spacewarp-66-am/ - Many have tried and failed to merge pinball and redemption gaming together, but could Ticket Pinball have the winning formula to make it a success?

https://arcadeheroes.com - Shown at Amusement Expo 2020 for the first time to the industry, was this new, giant take on Taito's classic puzzle game, Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble. It's a match 3 game, where you want to match bubbles of the same color to pop them. It's primarily made for redemption mode, but does have a no-ticket Amusement Mode too. Now shipping to arcades every where! Exclusive to arcades.

https://arcadeheroes.com - The full track for SwitzerBlitz Alpine Track on the 2019/2020 arcade release Nitro Trucks, developed by Play Mechanix and Raw Thrills. Footage captured at the IAAPA Expo 2019 event.

https://arcadeheroes.com - The arcade remake of Atari's classic Centipede is now available in two cabinet styles, the deluxe that launched earlier this year and now this more compact standard version. Works for either redemption or amusement play.

https://arcadeheroes.com - REUPLOADED after finding a better set of footage in my video folder. Stuff gets overlooked sometimes when you've shot hundreds of pieces of footage. :P This is Zombie Jam by The Really Big Crane company, a new player on the market that is looking to do some unique things for street operators. While prototype footage, this one will probably be ready to go by Spring 2020.

https://arcadeheroes.com - Covering two more of Touch Magix's IAAPA 2019 videmption debut titles, this video showcases Drift 'N' Thrift & Carnival Cups. Both are simple games of skill where you play for tickets, the first being a drift driving game, the latter being a timeless classic imagined as a video title. Both games (as well as their other videmption piece, SpaceWarp 66) are available now.

https://arcadeheroes.com - Taking a look at Jersey Jack Pinball & Pat Lawlor's latest creation, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. This game was released earlier in 2019 and is shipping now. You "tour" the Wonka factory, unlocking modes, collecting characters and just aiming for that high score in this vibrant playfield design.

https://arcadeheroes.com - I've heard (and written about) the Polycade before, but IAAPA 2019 was the first time I had the opportunity to check these guys out. They offer something akin to Steam in an arcade cabinet, but with curated, licensed content that can be just for home or for commercial use. Available now!

https://arcadeheroes.com - One video game that was at IAAPA 2019 that wasn't expected to be throwing it's hat into the ring of pistol shooting games was Wild West Shootout. Hunt down and arrest 5 different bad guys after traversing through the levels. Shoot offscreen to reload and redemption are options. Headed to arcades in early 2020 via Coastal Amusements in the USA; it is already available in the UK/Europe through UDC.

https://arcadeheroes.com - Following up on their ReRave & ReRave Plus arcade releases in 2012, Step Revolution is back with Step ManiaX. Features some solidly designed dance stage pads, a new song collection and more.

https://arcadeheroes.com - An indie company hits the big time with their first release, Hot Wheels: King of the Road by Coin Crew and Adrenaline Amusements. Control a Hot Wheels vehicle on the iconic orange tracks, grabbing as many coins as you can by the time you reach the finish line.

https://arcadeheroes.com - The Space Invaders are back again, and in arcades where they belong. This in-development game is similar to Space Invaders Frenzy, but has some different elements that make it it's own thing. That particularly comes from the ball cannons and the new physical targets that you have to shoot at for the boss fights. Coming in 2020, if Taito finds it viable, but this was one of the most popular games at the IAAPA 2019 show, so I imagine it will find a way.

https://arcadeheroes.com - Pilot your UFO using a spinner to try and reach the end. Simple, but very fun concept with great sound. Even on the last day of the show, I heard people talking about how much they enjoyed this game. They did say that they could do an amusement mode for just points - I think you keep it at 66 gates to pass, but then can throw in things like a different color/tunnel design, fuel or alien money for bonus points instead of green tickets, linked competitive play and this would be a fine video game.

https://arcadeheroes.com - Checking out the new 4-player version of the Atari Pong Table, PONG Knock Out. This is an enhancement on the standard 1-2 player Pong tables that have been out there, providing electromechanical PONG for up to four players, adding in a power-up system of sorts, overhead marquee monitor and black light, knock out rules (3 lives per player) and a cheesy game narrator. Exclusive to D&B until March 2020. As seen at IAAPA 2019
