This game is said to be hitting production soon, with shipments likely going out in May, so let’s see what else is in store for this kart racer. Disney Speedstorm [...]
Today, April 8th, has been declared to be National Arcade Day. According to this page, it was set by LAI Games, although I’m not sure why today was picked as that day, as there is no major arcade event that I can find that is tied to this date. But, since non-arcade media is touting [...]

It has been a long wait for Maximum Tune fans to see the next iteration of their favorite racing game hit the scene, but we’re in the home stretch as Bandai Namco has released a number of new details for the seventh title in the series, Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune Ignition (now retitled from just [...]
Welcome to Newsbytes, the series of posts here at Arcade Heroes that runs down “byte-sized” pieces of news from around the world of arcades and pinball. There’s still a lot to get through with Amusement Expo 2026; later this week we’ll have our full review up, but until then, here’s a look at everything that’s [...]
Going into Amusement Expo 2026, we had a good idea of what most companies were bringing arcade-wise, but one that held their cards close to their chests like usual was Adrenaline Amusements.
