Of course, the major amusement companies will bring their latest products.

They also will come with the final version of ATV Slam, Cosmic Fighter and House of the Dead Scarlet Dawn. Bandai Namco didn't communicate its lineup yet but as they distribute Raw Thrill games, we can expect to see Nitro TrucksBig Buck Reloaded (including the Terminator Salvation: Delta Mission game mode; an updated version of Terminator Salvation with better graphics and adjustments) and Raw Thrill’ VR Project: King Kong of Skull Island. Unis (represented by Instance Automatics in Europe) will present Crazy Ride, a racing game with a concept similar to Crazy Taxi with a touchscreen monitor. If Unis presents the same line-up than at IAAPA, there will be Taito games on their stand: GunArena, Space Invaders Counter Attack and Festival Hero (known as Omatsuri Quest Hippare Q in Japan). We can also expect to see those titles: Storm, the new VR & motion ride from Trio-Tech, Wild West Shootout on UDC booth, Speed Driver 5: New Generation by IGS and Technoplay's Racecraft racing simulator. As usual, Electrocoin will present the latest pinball tables from Stern such as Stranger Things and Elvira’s House of Horrors. EAG International 2020 is an unmissable event for any serious operator.

As announced, the game from Bandai Namco is a network battle royal game where up to 20 players can participate at the same time. Depending on the number of players, up to 20 NPCs (Derby's thugs) can join the battle. So, up to 40 characters can battle at the same time. When a player defeats Derby's thugs or other players, het gets "soul chips" and his character level rises (maximum level 6). The level is a condition to use skills. The cabinet is equipped with earphone jack and USB. The game uses two joysticks with buttons: [R2] button for a normal attack, [R1] button for the skill and [R3] for "JoJo Standing". Many characters from Part 3 to Part 5 of the series are selectable: Dio Brando, Jean-Pierre Polnareff, Noriyuki Kishibe, Josuke Higashikata, Giorno Giovanna... There are short-range type characters that have a powerful attack, but they are slower and shooting type character that can attack from remote place but are less powerful. To celebrate the game release, costumes from the manga Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 9: The Run are available and a collaboration with the mobile puzzle game JoJo's Pitter-Patter Pop! also starts today.

Almost 2 years after being announced, Aka & Blue Type-R (Aka to Blue Type-R in Japanese) is finally out in Japan today! This is the first game released on exA-Arcadia hardware and, unlike NESiCAxLive and All.Net P-ras MULTI titles, the game is not dematerialised and comes on a physical media that is similar to a cartridge. Aka & Blue Type-R is an adaptation of the Aka to Blue smartphone game from Tanoshimasu, a vertical scrolling shooting game released in September 2017. The game title refers to the colors of the two characters (Aka=Red and Blue). Aka uses a flared shot in a burst and Blue uses a more compact and slightly more powerful shot. Many improvements were made compared to the smartphone version. First, the resolution is scaled up from 720p for Aka to Blue to 1080p for Aka & Blue Type-R. Then, the design of enemies, especially bosses, has changed significantly. The enemies animation patterns are doubled and the moves are more complex. The ships have higher details and realistic coloring and the background graphics have been redesigned. The character visuals have also been renewed. The music of Aka to Blue was composed by WASi303, in the arcade version, the BGM includes arrangement versions and new music composed by several artists: Go Sato Band, FANTOM IRIS and O.T.K.. There are also new songs by Go Sato. Voices in the game are the same but a new voice for Blue has been added for the tutorial mode. Aka & Blue Type-R supports both 9:16 and 3:4 vertical screens. The gameplay will change if the ratio is different. In addition, horizontal screen (16:9/4:3) is also supported.
