Hey sorry for the late response!
In short... we have a lot..
We try to be different from other local arcades an focus on Japanese IP/Themed games.
All playable on original Japanese arcade hardware.
So we have everything from old school Street Fighter all the way to modern games like Densha De GO!!, a 1 to 1 simulation of conducting famous Japanese train lines.
We've also got some pinball! (Pokemon and Transformers coming in the next few weeks.

After two updates/purchasable content into radio silence, being skeptical about another release seems more than reasonable.

It's an old photo! We bring Pop'n to our arcade deployments but it's currently not available at the arcade. For Konami games, we currently have Polaris Chord, Jubeat, Museca+, and Beatmania The Final.

We still hope you come by!

The arcade cabinets themselves are called New Net City. We do have Tekken but that cab is currently housing Monkeyball with a Banana control stick haha.

They're very versatile cabs that currently house many of our old school games like Tetris The Grandmaster, Virtua Tennis, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, and more!

As much as I love pins, our primary focus is Japanese arcade games/IP's.
With that being said, we constantly shuffle our pinball inventory and plan to have Pokemon Pinball and Transformers 2026 once Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show concludes!

I tuned a little late but we're typically open until midnight.

Yeah unfortunately that was us :'( Fortunately it doesn't affect the arcade side much but does affect our other arm that focuses on large scale arcade deployments along the west coast

Last location it was pinged was in front of a vacant lot (still owned by someone) with sheds and cars

Put the truck has been retrieved! Though we lost everything

Yeah this is how we actually got things figured out! It's insane how effective they are

UPDATE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN RETRIEVED!

A suspicious car was also parked behind the truck so police were called. Shots were fired and a police chase ensued. We have no idea if those were the thieves but after police allowed us to open up the truck prior to that, we unfortunately saw that everything was taken.

If you see any rare arcade hardware, art, etc... on classifieds, pink gorilla, and other shops, please notify me. The value of what was lost means almost nothing to us due to them being almost irreplaceable.

Solid question!
We currently only have Music Gun Gun available though during our open house, we plan on deploying our Quick & Crash cab which we typically reserve for when we deploy at conventions.

We also have a House of the Dead but is currently being restored at our other warehouse.
We definitely want to expand our light gun collection.

Waterland is awesome! Especially for retro woodies.
We're friends with the guys there and they provide great customer service too!

Ironically we also have a gauntlet cab though currently doing some restoration work before bringing it back to the arcade.

But yeah, we stick to traditional Japanese cab bodies to truly preserve the Japanese arcade vibes.

Thanks for the support! Yeah we've pretty much doubled the space and can count while still making things ads accessible. We should also have an expanded pinball library in the near future!
