As part of their Home Arcade division, ICE announced the release of “the world’s most unique Super Chexx game.” They introduced a “warped print” into the game with images printed by the Tahoe Mountains on the dome itself. However, an anonymous informant sent me an unspecified video of Bandai Namco’s entertainment made for BNA’s “international customers.” “Now, before anyone gets excited and starts throwing this around, consider what it means: it does NOT stand for “North America.” This is largely evidenced by Atari’s complete lack of interest in getting any exclusive content for the system – they don’t even have their own Atari titles available exclusively for the system. I’ve been into video games for a long time and have been running my own The Game Grid Arcade in West Valley City, Utah since 2008. I asked BNA America to confirm that none of the games listed below are for the U.S., particularly New Taiko No Tatsujin, thanks to a certain company that still likes to troll for patents on a game franchise released in 1998. I’ve been very critical of the new Atari VCS game console, partly because it’s a new way to make money from a once iconic name. Speaking of making money, I think someone at Blizzard realized again that “arcade” is a buzzword, so they decided to put together a small collection of their old 2D games and put the word “arcade” in the release in hopes of generating some interest. As the official work of Biran Colin, designer of the original Rampage and RWT game, this game replaces the existing RWT stores and gives it a much nicer, modernized look. It is odd and ironic that then and current competitor, Intellivision, will have several exclusive games on their upcoming Amico system, and some of them Atari. Welcome to a new weekend, and with it a new Newsbytes series, a collection of articles from the arcade gaming world that don’t necessarily require in-depth articles. Thanks to Sabo Arcades & Game Refuge, this is a sequel to Rampage Marquee+Topper, which was released some time ago. Lots of friends introduced it to me on launch day this week. They were disappointed and shocked to learn how awful the games were with various delays and image loss. Yes, MK hasn’t appeared in arcades since 1997, but it was in arcades that the now console-exclusive franchise debuted. Although Atari released a breakthrough for the iPad in the early90s, it did little to revive a concept that others like Taito have done very well over the years.
