Amid the growing frenzy over the new King Kong movie due out March 31 Raw Thrills has released its first full-length arcade game since the release of Nitro Trucks last summer. The industry first received confirmation of the King Kong or Skull rumor Island™ game at IAPPA 2019 when looped images of the game were displayed at the BANDAI NAMCO booth. This first VR Raw Thrills device to be released and feature the iconic and instantly recognizable IP is King Kong of Skull Island™, and it’s finally here. King Kong of Skull Island VR is the first foray into the virtual reality world from Raw Thrills, which we’ve talked about several times on the blog. While this is incredibly exciting news for WoG and Magic Planet, who managed to recover a large number of units from this first batch, some will wish they had been a little faster. As they contribute heavily to the conversation with this latest title, Raw Thrills, you can be sure we’ll be rooting for Kong in this particular match. Already a dominant player in the VR industry, this title hasn’t let the global pandemic stop it from delivering an impressive return during its time in some U.S. development testing centers, and it continues to achieve the highest return among similar experiences. I’ve been into video games for a long time, and since 2008 I’ve had my own game room, The Game Grid Arcade, located in West Valley City, Utah. It’s also their first attraction to movement, though it’s not the first time they’ve used mobile seating technology. Fortunately, there are still a few spots available for the next production, scheduled for mid-February; we urge you to act fast. To explain the principle of the game to those unfamiliar with it, an alternate narrative follows, based on a selection of three chapters that determine your progress through the game based on your successful reactions to central slo-mo events. We then showed the product on video to key customers, after which Magic Planet immediately ordered it for several of its affiliates in the region. Initial production, which went almost as fast as the order, is now officially on its way to its first destinations. Interestingly, today’s news comes from Bandai Namco Amusements Europe, which sent the following press release this morning.
