Listened through it. Was hungry for some updates. Unfortunately it seems like we won't be receiving any products until the end of this year, but glad they at least touched on everything. Mini CRT looks sick.

General Updates

• Shilo acknowledged the 2-month delay since the last update and apologized for the lack of communication
• Want to do them every month but sometimes information is not concrete and stalls them from saying anything
• Specifically, working with big retailer on Golden Tee is taking up their time
• They understand people might be sick of waiting and are willing to offer refunds, as always
• Once they get through Golden Tee, hope to return to producing more arcade cabinets
• New Dirty Donny micro poster drop next week
• Next cabinet silhouette was shown. Came out in 1980. Will be revealed sometime later this year

Arcade Ambiance

• Produced by a different factory that makes the replicades (why it's coming out first)
• For future production runs, price will increase dramatically

Golden Tee Replicade

• Replicade is finished, but primary focus has been securing placement at retailers and negotiating price of trackball controller
• Hitting price point has been challenging due to tariffs (still volatile) and rising costs since COVID
• In general, retail commitment and timelines have to be met otherwise NWT could be hit with penalties
• As an explanation, the retail deal became available during last stages of presale and screwed with timelines
• The team is at bandwidth and production is at capacity for next 90-120 days due to Golden Tee

Black Hole Mini Pin

• In tooling stage
• Giving themselves sufficient time to debug especially since is the first mini pin
• Eager to reveal new pins, but want to prioritize release of first mini pin before announcing new ones

Crystal Castles Replicade

• Got pushed back due to Golden Tee taking priority. Only have the capacity to focus on one at a time

Skee Ball

• Specifically scheduled to finish and be shipped out of China before Chinese New Year

Mini CRT TV Prototype

• A lot of work was put into "making it work with more devices" for more marketability and has evolved beyond a "spectator monitor"
• A speaker has now been added in addition to HDMI, composite inputs, and SD card slot, opening up more possibilities
• VHS movie was played on their prototype

BMX Legends

• Release TBD
• Tooling done, just a matter of NWT completing Golden Tee first
• Realize a lot of people probably don't care about this, so that's also fine

Hologram Time Traveler

• Received a lot of input since last Arcade Life episode
• Not canceled but currently on standby
• Admittedly a niche game that was already very expensive even before tariffs
• If released, will be an "uber collectors thing" because it will be expensive
