Arcade information has principally slowed to a crawl post-Pokémon pinball reveal, with quite a few tales growing within the background however nonetheless being saved quiet till nearer to Amusement Expo subsequent month (and a upcoming particular anniversary put up for a sure North American developer needing some last approvals…); nonetheless, that doesn’t imply there’s nothing on the market to speak about. At the moment we now have two latest sport releases to acknowledge, in addition to some information and a press launch from web site advertisers TouchMagix.
Good Pour Pabst Blue Ribbon Version
First up, DSM Arcade have begun delivery the second* model of their influential drink pouring sport, Good Pour, with the Pabst Blue Ribbon Version. This presents up the identical type of gameplay that the unique sport got here with, now that includes improved graphics, and the Pabst Blue Ribbon licensing. It’s primarily out there via two distributors, AVS Corporations and Shaffer, however may also be obtained elsewhere. DSM have gotten the media equipment and full sport web page for the PBR Version right here and right here on their web site.
For any arcade bars that exist on the market, this must be a no brainer to seize. Whereas just about each location in that class needs a Halfway Tapper, that is unrealistic now. Solely 3,000 of these have been made back-in-the-day, and never all of these could have survived for forty years. This presents related however new gameplay in the identical vein, and in comparison with different new video games in the marketplace, it’s fairly a cut price (I don’t know the precise worth, however the unique sport did initially promote for $5k – I’d be shocked if it’s drastically completely different than that).
*Technically this could be the fifth model of Good Pour, with Soda Slam!, Dr Pepper Soda Slam!, and Liquid Demise taking over 2nd, third, and 4th slots.
Dragon Kingdom
Subsequent up is Dragon Kingdom, an Ace Amusement piece that’s now delivery in North America via Amusement Supply Worldwide. It was at IAAPA 2025 on Ace’s personal sales space, however sadly each time I noticed the sport, it was operating with enormous lag; as you possibly can see on this video. Nevertheless, it could have been the PC overheating or another problem inflicting it to choke, moderately than the sport itself.
The cupboard makes use of the latest development of placing two large displays collectively vertically for a square-shaped view area; it additionally has a movement seat. The gameplay entails two fantasy/medieval warriors preventing hordes of creatures, sometimes driving a dragon. I’m undecided on the price, however it’s straightforward to guess that it’s quite a bit lower than a Drakons: Realm Keepers does (DRK costing over $30k final I noticed).
It’s additionally price noting that each of those video games are unique to arcades, giving prospects one thing at your venue that they will’t get at residence.
Delivery Quickly From TouchMagix
Lastly, one in every of our long-time advertisers TouchMagix have shared a press launch that factors out that their newest redemption items are both open for orders and are delivery quickly (from mid-to-late subsequent month), or are delivery on the market already. Additionally they have teased that there must be one thing new showing on their sales space at Amusement Expo, nonetheless we don’t know but if that can be a mechanical redemption piece like most of those, or if it could be a videmption sport. Keep tuned – as soon as once more, we’ll have a full preview of AEI up earlier than the present begins in below a month from now.
