Hello gamers!

It's Sunday, so you know what that means! Another game on the floor to be shown off and subsequently discounted by half for our Feature Fridays promotion!

This week's game is a local favorite among the rhythm game community, and one of the first we set up when we started building our rhythm game selection. (Forgive the old picture from when we had two of them. We have since had to return one of them to their original owner.) Our featured game is Wacca!

Wacca's development first began in 2017, with collaboration with HARDCORE TANO*C - Japan's biggest record label that focuses on hardcore techno music - in mind even during the earliest stages. The game is developer Marvelous's first arcade rhythm game, although not their first rhythm game, having developed the handheld IA/VT Colorful for the Playstation Vita in 2015.

The game cabinet itself had gone through 20 different prototypes, including several DJ desk styles as part of the control scheme, before finally settling on the design that we all know today. The original title was called "CircuRing", but "Wacca" was decided on to help differentiate it from other rhythm games by deliberately omitting music-related tropes. On top of the collaboration with HARDCORE TANO*C, there are various songs from other franchises like Touhou Project and Senran Kagura, along with other favorites like Neon Genesis Evangelion and How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?

Unlike most games that utilize rectangular monitors, Wacca uses a circular display screen enveloped on all sides by touch panels. The game is played by tapping the touch panels as the notes approach the edge of the display, but it isn't quite that simple. Along with tapping on the notes, there are also notes that require holding down the touch pad, sliding your hands left and right, and even forwards and backwards. Also, instead of increasing the difficulty using the tempo, Wacca ups the ante by adjusting necessary hand positioning on higher difficulties, requiring fast reflexes on top of the natural rhythm the genre requires.

So come on in this Friday, 8/28, and enjoy this modern classic for half off all day!

Hello, gamers!

Another Sunday, another peek at another game for another Feature Fridays discount!

This week, we're taking a look at an oldie but a goodie. A pinball machine based on one of the most iconic fighting games of all time! This week's featured game is Street Fighter II Pinball!

Street Fighter II Pinball is a collaboration between Premier/Gottlieb and Capcom. It was released in March of 1993, right off the heels of the explosively popular home console release of the fighter of the same name during the previous summer of 1992. which would be Capcom's single best-selling software for an entire two decades, and the highest-selling third-party software on the SNES.

Gameplay is actually remarkably similar to how the actual fighting game works, except in pinball form. The object is to defeat a total of 12 opponents by hitting a very specific shot when that opponent is lit up. Only 3 different opponents will be lit up at one time, with the starting trio being E. Honda, M. Bison, and Sagat.

Managing to defeat each opponent allows the player to select one of two different bonuses, ranging from features like the infamous car destruction minigame from the fighting game, to multiball rounds, and static score bonuses. On top of that, there are plenty of other bonuses and features that can be triggered manually without defeating a fighter first.

The machine also features memorable music and sound bits from the original Street Fighter II, like Ryu and Ken's "SHORYUKEN!" and Guile's "SONIC BOOM!", to the famous "OOOOWAAAAAAA" of a defeated fighter.

So come on in this upcoming Friday, 8/21, and re-live this classic piece of gaming history, or experience it for the first time, for half off!

Hello, gamers!

We're back to our regular schedule for posting games to be discounted for our Feature Fridays promotion!

This week's game is a little bit of an odd duck, as it isn't your typical action or rhythm game that you see in the arcade. This one is a family-friendly redemption game, capable of earning you tickets that you can cash in at our redemption counter for prizes! This week, we're showing off Teeter Totter Castle!

The story of Teeter Totter Castle is simple: In a faraway land called Tinka Tinka, there lived a little naughty magician, Luke, and a kindhearted princess, Ulabla. One day, Luke was trying a new lightning magic trick, and accidentally destroyed Princess Ulabla's castle. Saddened by the loss, Ulabla cried and cried.

Luke recalled a trick that his master used to practice with magic stones. He borrowed the magic stones, but he needed some help! Let us help Luke build a new castle for pretty Princess Ulabla!

Teeter Totter Castle, as previously mentioned, is a casual, family-friendly game, playable by people of any age or skill level. Gameplay is incredibly easy to utilize: There is just a single button on the cabinet. Starting from an empty playing field, magic stones will swing back and forth, and you simply push the button to drop the stone onto the field.

Play continues as you stack and balance stones on top of each other, earning more and more tickets for every stone you successfully place and balance on the previous one. Naturally, maintaining this balance gets progressively more difficult with every stone, but if you can manage to place all the stones, and then finish the building with the flag at the top, you will be awarded the full jackpot of tickets!

So come on in this Friday, 8/14, and give the game a try for yourself for half off, which means the potential for DOUBLE the amount of tickets!

Hello, gamers!

We're finally back and dusted off from Southern-Fried Gaming Expo over the weekend, and we're bringing you another game to be covered and discounted for our Feature Fridays promotion!

This week's game is always a fan favorite, no matter what genre of game you generally play. It's a blast of pure chaos, which makes no two games play the same way! This week, we're looking at Mario Kart Arcade GP DX! That's right, the greatest racing franchise of all time (We are not taking questions at this time) is here in all its glory!

Mario Kart Arcade GP DX is the arcade version of the Mario Kart games on Nintendo systems, except that this subseries is produced by Bandai Namco. It is the twelfth installment of the Mario Kart franchise as a whole, and the third installment in the Arcade GP subseries, specifically.

Generally speaking, the game has four modes of play: Grand Prix, for solo players, two-player VS. mode, two-player co-op mode, and, if there happen to be four cabinets linked, a Team Battle mode.

Regardless of which mode players are in, after they select their character, they are randomly assigned karts to drive in and a selection of different items that are exclusively available to the player for that race.

After that, the madhouse of chaos and mayhem that you've come to know and love from Mario Kart ensues! Players drive, fly, or dive through the selected course, dodging hazards, items fired/dropped by other racers, and of course, each other, while utilizing techniques to help them keep ahead of the pack all the way up to the finish line!

So come on in this Friday, 8/7, to join the wacky shenanigans, hijinks, and other assorted tomfoolery for half off!

One of the biggest stresses in life isn't getting to the destination. It's finding parking. Well guess who has you covered? We do! With covered parking! Unless you park out in the street somewhere! Then it's not covered parking! It's just parking! Anyway, here's a map. (Covered) parking info in the comments. 😊
