Edit (after this news (http://segabits.com/blog/2022/01/27/genda-sega-entertainment-changes-name-to-genda-gigo-fully-acquiring-segas-japanese-arcade-management-division/)) : On second though, naahh..
Too lazy to change all those SEGA names to GiGo.
Still feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or missing something.

And now the latest news...
The biggest CA SEGA JOYPOLIS was built in GuanZhou,China
(https://i.ibb.co/sWpck8X/CA-SEGA-JOYPOLIS.jpg)
In 2017, China Animations has acquired a majority stake in Sega Live Creation for 600 million yen.
After the ownership transitioned, China Animations renamed Sega Live Creation to CA Sega Joypolis Ltd, with Sega no-longer fully owning the parks.
The 3 Orbi venues remained under the ownership of Sega, and Sega Republic was later closed down after the Sega license expired.
Now four years later, the biggest CA SEGA JOYPOLIS has been opened in September 2021 !!!
See the pictures here :

So Joypolis is no longer owned by Sega... but will still have Sega's name and I pressume Sonic and other marketing?
Also, is it true that UK will get a Joypolis? Sounds like a Sega World UK all over again.

"Sega no-longer fully owning the parks"
so I think SEGA is still owning it, but just a small portion of ownership of course since majority ownership goes to China Animation.

Also, is it true that UK will get a Joypolis? Sounds like a Sega World UK all over again.
A potential location for the UK park is currently being sourced, operator reveals.
So I guess it might happened.

Sega Joypolis theme parks could be coming to the UK and US

“The Group is planning to develop CA SEGA JOYPOLIS in different places over the world with several partners in the PRC and the overseas,” the report reads.
“As for the overseas market, the Group has entered a memorandum of understanding with another international partner to select a location for launching theme park in the UK within approximately half a year and explore the possibility to launch theme parks in Europe, North America and elsewhere.”

About GENDA (Global Entertainment Network for Dreams and Aspirations) and SEGA
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/678f62405186a53eacbe1c72878848da/tumblr_inline_onnovtBEQL1qi3rrf_500.jpg)
GENDA Co. is a Japanese entertainment corporation whose primary focus is on developing an “amusement” machine rental business, online crane machines, promotional sales, and business between the Chinese and United States markets.
GENDA held 85.1% of Sega Entertainment shares as of December 3, 2020, which means the voting rights for Sega Group‘s ownership ratio over Sega Entertainment now are 14.9%.
Additionally, Sega Entertainment was no longer be part of Sega Group’s consolidated subsidiaries.
In January 2022, GENDA was buying the last remaining 14.9% of shares owned by SEGA.
It does not mean SEGA is leaving the arcade business.
SEGA will continue to develop and manufacture arcade games, as that division is still 100% owned by the SEGA Corporation and is separate from SEGA Entertainment.
SEGA will continue to make arcade games, this news just means they won’t be managing the arcade buildings.
SEGA has also said, via Famitsu, that SEGA will continue to develop arcade titles, but will shift some of its arcade development staff to the console business.

About SEGA Amusements International Ltd. (SAI) and Management Buy Out
(https://s12.directupload.net/images/201113/f9yy6uu2.jpg)
Sega Amusements International (SAI) is an international company dedicated to the production, development, supply, support and distribution of amusement arcade games and merchandise.
Here on the other hand, instead of being sold to a bigger company in the space, it was bought from within and will give SEGA Amusements International (SAI) more freedom.
Paul William has setup Kaizen Entertainment as a holding company and initiated a “Management Buy Out” of SAI through that.
What this means is that everything that distributors, operators, and players see will remain the same – the Sega name will still show up on the games, and SAI will still be the name found on the booth at trade shows.
This also means that everyone who has been working at SAI is still there.

About SEGA SAMMY CREATION
(https://i.ibb.co/Z6kxHVN/Genesis-Crest-from-Sega-Sammy.jpg)
SEGA SAMMY CREATION is a gaming machine manufacturer that utilizes its wealth of creativity, entertainment experience and technology to produce products that offer new and exciting experiences.
Their latest creation was Genesis Crest. Read more about it here (http://segabits.com/blog/2020/12/17/sega-sammy-creations-announces-new-arcade-cabinet-called-genesis-crest/).
To be frank, gaming machine is just a convenient words for what we know as "gambling machine" or "slot machines" that creates a game of chance for its customers.
Gaming machines can be found in bars, gas stations, small convenience stores, arcade centers, and bodegas in some countries that allowed it, like Singapore, UK, or USA.
My country, Indonesia, never allow anything related to gambling, so I never seen any of them here. I know that they still exist here, but illegally.

What do you mean by former Segabits member? As far as I'm aware we're usually the only two on here.
I mean, I bet there's probably a Discord, Twitter or whatnot Segabits out there but I'm not that savvy for them.

So I have been to Merthyr Tydfil before but it was a long time a go and probably have no memory of it because it was during one of those times in our lives we don't like to talk about.

Just like Muppet Show, back then we sometimes got guest star in this forum.
Mostly indie developers, but I still remember Julian Mehlfeld from SEGA of America had visited and commented on this forum.
He's at WB Games now I believe.

Then when pandemic is over, it's time to replace those memories with nice SEGA related ones there.

Be The First to Experience SEGA's Men in Black Arcade
on SEGA’s booth 1315 at IAAPA from 16th to 19th November
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Oj8XcvgeHA
(https://i.ibb.co/yqdtdFz/SEGA-Men-In-Black-Game.jpg)
Men in Black is presented in a stunning, new, retro-futuristic cabinet that takes design cues from the film’s iconic MIB headquarters.
A huge chrome UFO with lighting hovers above the screen and draws players to the game.
The cabinet also features a “infinity mirror” control panel, “Neuralyzer” prop, reactive LED lighting and dual Tri-Barrel Plasma guns that are straight out of the movies, creating a sensational attraction on location that invites players of all ages.
Missions, routes, enemies and bosses change every time you play, thus creating a challenging yet fun gameplay experience that excites players every time.
Furthermore, at the end of each game, players are teased with the next mission to encourage repeat play.

Starhorse as One of The 10 Most Popular Arcade Games Of All Time
(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/191120_2_2.jpg)
Well here's a thing. Proving that arcade games are very much alive and well in the 21st Century, this final title in the 10 biggest selling games of all time is one which, I suspect, most of you are unaware of - unless you happen to be in Japan.
Starhorse is a Sega horse racing arcade game which allows players to gamble for tokens.
The first in the Starhorse series appeared in 2000 and was followed by many annual updated versions, eventually adding the ability to simulate actual Japan Racing Association events.
The biggest individual selling machine in the franchise to date has been 2005s Starhorse2, which by the time of its hardware's fifth and final expansion in 2009 had sold 38,614 units.
A staggering number considering its, albeit huge, but limited local market.
With a reported ¥4.8 billion from machine sales by 2011 (equivalent to nearly $60 million), Starhorse2 was superseded by, unsurprisingly, StarHorse3, which within its first year on the market grossed ¥3.3 billion from arcade machine sales (equivalent to more than $40 million).

GENDA SEGA Entertainment Changes Name to GENDA GiGO,
Fully Acquiring SEGA’s Japanese Arcade Management Division
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/GENDAGiGO-750x500.png)
The company announced it was buying the last remaining 14.9% of shares owned by SEGA, meaning SEGA doesn’t have any say in the company (and probably didn’t seeing as they had minority control).
SEGA is completely out of the arcade management business!
Now I wonder if these arcade locations will still keep the SEGA branding they promised…

To think, Sega only got the ball rolling because of the arcade scene. Now they're completely out of it.
I mean, don't get me wrong I can imagine almost any of their arcade games into freemium mobile games anyway and we're getting a remake of some of them already like THotD.

Yep, but SEGA is still making arcade games.
They're just not managing arcade centres anymore.
Arcade operation centres was not profitable anyway since pandemic started, so it's a healthy decision.
It's like back then when the dreamcast wasn't profitable.
SEGA was out of console business but still making console games (for others).

Happy Lunar New Year!
This is Koha-D, the Representative of SEGA Arcade Music Game Team.
As the New Year has begun, I'd like to wish you a happy lunar new year and comment on two SEGA music games.
🔸 maimai DX International ver.
It’s been 2 years since the maimai DX International ver. started operation, which new version (UNiVERSE) released on January 27. Despite the fact that there are times and areas where stores cannot operate due to the effects of COVID 19, we have been able to achieve a high operation rate, thanks to everyone's enthusiasm.
Thank you very much for your support!
For various reasons, the music, collaborations, and several others have been delayed from the Japanese version, but we are still thinking of some surprises for you, so we would be grateful for your continued support.
🔸 CHUNITHM International ver.
Since CHUNITHM started its operation from the end of 2020, we've received a lot of feedback and we've changed our plans drastically from the original plan, adding songs at a rapid pace to bring it closer to the Japanese version.
Thank you for your support here as well as in maimai DX!
We are now in the final adjustment stage of the version-up to "NEW", which we reported at the end of last year, and we are preparing to provide it with some plans to activate the local player’s community.
For a variety of reasons, it is going to be difficult to make it exactly the same as the Japanese version, but we are working with the people in charge to make it as pleasing to everyone as possible.
We will be making an announcement on the specifics soon, so please look forward to it!
🔹 Lastly, due to the impact of COVID19, it has been difficult to enjoy arcade music games in both Japan and overseas.
I can only express my gratitude to all of you who continue to play our games even under such circumstances.
In order to respond to such enthusiasm, we, the development team, will continue to do our best to provide the best service possible. We would be grateful for your continued support.
We hope you'll continue enjoy maimai DX and CHUNITHM in 2022!

Man Arrested For Allegedly Sending Death Threats To SEGA
The suspect said he was upset at losing in an online game
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Starhorse3.jpg)
A 54-year-old resident of Toyokawa, Japan, is said to have sent 12 threatening emails between December 2021 and February of this year.
He allegedly wrote that he would “set the company on fire,” “kill employees,” and even, according to TBS News, “kill the family and children of employees.”
The suspect was arrested for obstruction of a business and has confessed to sending the emails, saying that he had “lost in an online game and was frustrated.”

May be he used his retirement funding to gamble online?

Following a successful installation at Joypolis Guangzhou, Jinma will implement Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) launch systems to its wide range of roller coasters
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt_m7nBxBxU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIW2SlNwsbU
In order to integrate diverse elements in limited spaces, Jinma has adopted a LSM launch system on a customised coaster at Joypolis Guangzhou, rather than the traditional chain lift or friction wheel launch.
With two LSM launch systems on the track, each is responsible for launching trains at a specific speed, while integrating seamlessly with the audio and lighting systems of the ride.

The Japanese government also noticed Sega’s enhanced legal portfolio for protecting its brands.
The company has registered approximately 1,900 trademarks related to Sonic the Hedgehog in 90 countries.
It also made copyright guidelines to prevent UFO Catcher and Purikura photo booths—both included in its trademark list—from becoming common terms.

SEGA Retrospective: The Deeper Arcade game – An oxymoron that became one of SEGA’s pillars
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/CW_bAF7WMAA_70i-300x225.jpg)(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ac518204-300x225.jpg)
Different cultural perspectives can transform one concept considerably, and this can be applied to arcade games.
Back in the glory days of arcades, westerners played in an arcade maybe once a month or even once a week at most.
However in Japan, with its density of population, going to an arcade can become simply a part of your everyday routine, similar to how westerners play their games on home and mobile platforms.
But what could one keep coming back to the arcade, time and again? Cards. Yes. Magnetic cards.

The game is World Club Champion Football by SEGA.
It was made 20 years ago on 2002 by the old Crazy Taxi and Virtua Tennis makers, Hitmaker.
This is their tweet about the closure :
"WCCF FOOTISTA" has been discontinued on April 1, 2022 (Friday) at 2:59.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your patronage over the long years since the start of the "WCCF" series.

ITS SO GOOD WE NAMED IT TWICE!
Drop it Drop it is a skill-based redemption game with the simple objective of dropping the ball into one of the many win zones.
Drop it Drop it is easy to grasp, however, players looking to win the big-ticket bonus will need to master their hand eye coordination, to judge the speed of the moving tram and release the ball at just the right time to land in the star-shaped bonus hole.

Last year the 100,000 sq ft office block which was the headquarters of Sega’s European operations was bought by Tikehau Capital and Areli Real Estate for a price believed to be in the region of £40 million.
It is understood that these two companies are associated with the applicant Brentford Opportunity Sarl.
At the time of the acquisition Rob Tincknell of Areli Real Estate said in an interview with Property Week magazine that it would be suitable for a mixed use development with ‘the potential for 500 homes, and it could be for a lot more’.

SEGA on Pinball Market Trivia

SEGA would enter the pinball market with its own machine in 1971, titled “Winner”.
Three years of R&D work resulted in SEGA’s machines requiring less maintenance with its closed plug-in relays, more reliable than open switch-blade relays used at that time.

SEGA’s old arcades are making money again as new owners announce ¥3.175 billion profit
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/8617c7ddd891f4df11ce446116b09747/aaed26458987d7af-89/s640x960/cad19d5fc1281f829f0f64c79a3ddb5f05b3522f.jpg)
Sega’s exit from the arcade management industry took the form of selling the stock of Sega Entertainment (the Sega subsidiary in charge of arcade management) to a Tokyo-based company called Genda.
Genda first changed the company’s name from Sega Entertainment to Genda Sega Entertainment, and then to just Genda GiGO Entertainment.
The important thing to take away here is that Genda GiGO Entertainment is specifically the Genda subsidiary that’s managing Sega’s old arcades today, and in its most recent financial report, Genda GiGO Entertainment has posted a profit of 3.175 billion yen for the year, a major reversal from the 2.308 billion-yen loss it suffered the previous year, nine months of which the arcades were still being managed by Sega for.
That’s a nice increase, but not nearly enough to account for the nearly five billion-yen turnaround the company reported. So what does account for it? Accounting.

In Japan actually VF is always alive.
The tournaments never stopped.
And thanks to VF eSports / Ultimate Showdown, they're becoming popular again.

I still think VF should have a proper story mode. That's what made Tekken and SoulCalibur popular after all. It's how we became more engaged with the characters, by getting to know them through in-game story.

Yeah. At least cinematic intro / scenes & individual endings but still nope.... I wonder why.
Funny thing is .. they included the VF story in this game though. Weird.

GiGO Akihabara Arcade, Previously SEGA World, Set to Close Next Month in Tokyo
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZ8iqlYaQAAMb38?format=jpg&name=small)
If you do happen to be in the area on September 25th, GiGO Akihabara Building 4 (Tokyo-to, Chiyoda-ku, Sotokanda 1-15-9) will hold some kind of farewell celebration, which could entail food, festivities, and possibly some giveaways, although we don’t expect them to gift any full-sized arcade machines.
Fortunately, three more GiGO Akihabara Arcade locations will remain after this one closes, but Building 4 not only housed a plethora of games, but also a cafe used for many collaborative events.

Solar System is a brand new 2-player redemption game that takes the classic fun of a marble-drop game into another dimension.
Players drop ‘extra-terrestrial’ marbles down the playfield to push ticket discs off the play area and win corresponding ticket values.
Insanely fun mini games keep the players engaged throughout the game.
Designed with the operator in mind, marbles and ticket tokens always stay in the game, thus making Solar System very easy to operate.

The SMARTS Augmented Reality system takes interactive darts to the next level.
Using a plain white dartboard, the gameplay graphics are superimposed over the board and surrounding area with an ultra bright, laser projector.
Since all the graphics are projected, game play targets appear on the board itself with scores and animations occurring instantly at the point of impact.
Combined with some cool sound effects, this is our most immersive experience yet.

I don't think so, Sammy basically let SEGA did anything they want, just like SEGA did with Atlus.
The problem's more because the missing of SEGA's thinking teams / research and development teams.
One of that teams is Yu Suzuki's team.
In the ’90s, Suzuki was not only a big deal in the game industry, he was a big deal at Sega – which perhaps afforded him and his team special treatment within the company.
Toshihiro Nagoshi who worked under Suzuki says the team was isolated from the rest of Sega, physically at a distance from its headquarters.
The AM2 office even needed a special key to enter. “It was sort of irregular and a top-secret type of operation that was going on,” Nagoshi says.
“It was very strange, where even though he was part of Sega, the president of Sega would not know what Suzuki was working on at that time,” he says.
“There were occasions where, every six months or so, the president and his entourage would come knocking on the door demanding to see, like, ‘What’s going on in there?’
And there were times that even then we wouldn’t show them what was being worked on.”
This kind of team doesn't exist anymore at SEGA, every studio must have montly reports now like any other company (which may have been good for budget controlling but it's kinda limiting the creativity).

Still I believe Sammy's main interest, like any other company's interest, is money.
Casino and amusement entertainment are just tools. If they're not making any money anymore, they would not hesitate to let it go, just like they sold arcade management business to GiGO.

SEGA SAMMY's long-term goal in the Pachislot and Pachinko Machines Business is to win a “triple crown” (top share in utilization, installation, and sales) and to build a stable earnings structure.
(https://i.postimg.cc/4xXdwpxT/Sammy.jpg)
"To achieve this goal, it is vital that we make steady headway in our strategies and reach our medium-term goals for the fiscal year ending March 2024.
One major development in the industry was the entry into the market of pachislot machines complying with new No. 6.5 model specifications.
For the new models, the regulations revised the upper limit on the number of games during the advantageous section and the method of managing the upper limit on medal pay-out, which were sources of user dissatisfaction with previous models.
This is expected to dramatically change player psychology by enabling machines to be designed so that players always have a chance to win."

Akira Nagai, Former Managing Director at SEGA, Has Passed Away
(https://segaretro.org/images/e/e3/AkiraNagai.png)
We’re sad to report that Akira Nagai, Managing Director at SEGA from 1965 to 2004, has passed away.
Nagai was one of the longest serving managing directors and representatives at the company, initially starting out in jukebox distribution in 1963 at Nihon Goraku Bussan and continuing in amusement machine sales in the 1980s.
During the 1990s, Nagai managed SEGA’s Amusement Theme Park concept which went on to establish several Joypolis venues in Japan in addition to others.
Fans might best remember his likeness from a cameo as a Yakuza boss in the first Shenmue game.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1601177830531932163/WIYYGNda?format=jpg&name=small)
Digitised master footage of Michael Jackson in Scramble Training, a 1993 interactive ridefilm for the AS-1 motion ride simulator developed by Sega.
Thought to be lost even by Sega personnel themselves, the above footage - all localised segments made by writer/director Hiroshi Uemura and Kenji Sasaki, as well as filmed scenes of Jackson - was recently found on a D2 master tape sold at a car boot sale in the United Kingdom, and kindly digitised by the Oxford Duplication Centre after an appeal on Facebook was answered by Mechafatnick .

From Super Nintendo World to Joypolis, the joy of video game theme parks
The rivalry continues - in real life.
(https://i.ibb.co/dJJfYsQ/Joypolis-final.jpg)
While I went in with lowered expectations, I came away pleasantly surprised by Joypolis, and actually believe it's a worthy companion visit alongside Super Nintendo World. I suppose part of that is just the old Sega fanboy in me talking.
But as the company's exit from the arcade business in Japan has sadly seen its once iconic game centres shuttered or rebranded under its new owners GiGO, it's also special to see Joypolis still bearing the Sega logo, as it's owned by another company that still uses the licensing.
This means you can also buy Sonic merch, or even get your picture taken with the hog himself.

SEGA in the Media: Ellie plays Daytona USA in HBO Max’s The Last of Us

The episode shows Ellie trying out her driving skills on Daytona USA before they continue to play Mortal Kombat II, while it isn’t a SEGA video game, it was pretty prolific game on the SEGA Genesis.
They also have the original Tetris machine which has a history with SEGA, as the Japanese rights for Tetris Arcade used to belong to SEGA.

Sega Park Southampton - 27 pictures through the years
(https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1634402676661440512/VS-RGq1n?format=jpg&name=small)
It may not have been as big as SegaWorld in London’s Trocadero, yet Southampton’s much-loved equivalent was around for a relatively long time.
Youngsters of the time would save up their precious pocket money or hard-earned newspaper delivery wages to pump shiny gold nuggets into cabinets with dazzling lights, numerous buttons and annoying sounds.
Driving games included the multiplayer fun of Daytona USA to the more solitary but equally as addictive Crazy Taxi.

Jumanji Launch Trailer | Sega Amusements
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKUHhb7qCI0
Jump into the rich fantasy world of Jumanji. A brand-new, four-player, skill-based ticket redemption game that brings the multibillion-dollar blockbuster film franchise to the amusements market for the very first time. The twelve minigames are carefully re-created based on iconic scenes from the films and feature authentic movie audio, thus making Jumanji immensely immersive, and a lot of fun.
Players take on the role as one of the film’s main characters to solve the entertaining and exciting games. To win the super ticket bonus, players must use quick-thinking and quicker reflexes to climb the Jaguar statue and save Jumanji. The gameplay is intuitive and entertaining thanks to the unique controller that switches between free-spin and ratchet-spin, depending on the game being played.
The lush jungle-themed cabinet features a dazzling screen surround, fully lit Jumanji gameboard that tracks player’s progress and the huge marquee featuring the film characters draws players to the cabinet.

They did update it last year .... in worse way ... by removing Sonic 1,2,3&K from the compilation when Sonic origins released.
Thankfully the update only affects new buyers, not for the one who has purchased it.

Is there still any Sega Mega Drive game that you wanted to play?
That's made by SEGA of course, not by third party like Earthworm Jim, Mortal Kombat, or Street Fighter II?

Arcade games rarely have online play.
Beating strangers eyes to eyes are what makes it fun.
Online function in Arcade usually just to keep your highest scores, characters collected, save point, or customized characters you've made.

Rent-a-Hero is one of them.
But not just Mega Drive games. I wish Master System, Sega Saturn games were available as well.
Would also be nice if more Dreamcast exclusives were re-released as well. I got a hankering for BlueStinger of late. I had it a long time a go but I never finished it nor do I have it any more.

VR Agent - 2023 Trailer | Sega Amusements

The VR aiming controller is a true innovation, as the VR headset is fused to the gun controller, thus ushering an evolution in VR gaming, and making it viable for arcades or FEC’s. The controller lowers instantly allowing the player to quickly get into the action and is lifted at the end, hence significantly increasing throughput and efficiency.
VR Agent takes the classic arcade shooting experience to the next level. The Player’s mission is to take down enemies using a range of weapons and defeat the enemy mastermind. Players can deploy into four missions, each with increasing difficulty levels and finally unlock the boss level. The gameplay is easy to grasp but hard to master so the game continue feature not only encourages instant repeat-play but also lets players master their marksmanship skills.
The cabinet looks stunning with LED-lit edge lighting and a fully lit header. The large two 50” vertical screens encourages spectators to watch the action while players enjoy the immersive VR experience.

At least there are other alternative to play games now :
mobile phones, consoles, PC.
There are also more games in them than in arcade.
Funny thing is when I was a kid I went to arcade at first because my family couldn't afford gaming console and their cartridge games.
They feel so expensive back then.
And then my father bought IBM PC XT computer for work which could play games.
The monitor graphic was CGA and monochrome (black and white) but it was one of beautiful thing we ever had at home.
That was my first gaming machine at home.

The arcades I'm familiar with in UK are really just cheap gambling venues. As in there's dozens and dozens of slot machines, penny drops and crane games... and tucked in the back are around two or three arcade games from 2000-2010 or so.

Notice the photos in the gallery mostly consist of gambling machines, then you got carnival games and if I recall it had arcade games for Bumblebee and Batman and that's about it.
This is why I go on about playing Sega arcade games at home. Because I live out in the sticks and I have to spend quite a bit of money if I want a day trip somewhere with a proper arcade. Just because Britain is a small country doesn't mean London is a hop, skip and jump where I live.

None of the like. Not even old arcade classics like Dead or Alive or Virtua Cop.
An arcade machine like that Raving Rabbids would take up too much room for gambling machines!
Given we live in a quiet coastal town, I believe the reasons why it's mostly gambling machines is because hardly any customers, so gambling machines net more money that way. But I've been to arcade with big tourist boom and it's still mostly gambling machines.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1641781197515763712/FRXPdPu4?format=jpg&name=small)
The company was founded on March 31 1983, with the suffix “Europe” being added to the name in the 1990s.
By 2015, the company was using its current name to reflect its increasing global reach in the amusement market.
CEO Paul Williams said: “We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our customers, partners, and suppliers worldwide for your continued support and loyalty over the past 40 years.
We recognise that without your trust and confidence in our products and services, we would not be where we are today.
I want to extend a special thank you to ..."

Yeah, I don't doubt gambling is more profitable than video games.
Especially after a certain gambling machine makers company could save a beloved video game company back in 2004.
But you can see why I go on about wanting arcade games for PC. It would cost me more money and time to arrange a day trip to an arcade that actually has arcade games than it would to just go down to my local arcade to play a gambling machine.

New games (not more than five years), not old games since most of the old games are playable on emulator anyway.

The Racing Game That Changed Everything Was Built on Lockheed Martin Technology

The agreement Sega entered into with GE in September of 1992 couldn’t have been more obvious for the Japanese video game giant. Sega needed the hardware to accelerate its development of 3D arcade titles. Getting there alone would take too long, and GE had the tech.
For GE, however, deals like this presented a possible lifeline. The late 1980s had not been kind to the military-industrial complex, which had to contend with both a lack of conflict and a sweeping overhaul of the Department of Defense’s procurement process, ostensibly designed to increase competition and stamp out fraud.
It was the job of people like Bob Hichborn to find new clients for GE’s graphics products, which began with the Visual Docking Simulator built for NASA’s Apollo space program.

So far, Scarlet Dawn is on the top of my list. Don't get me wrong the cubical cabinet looks absolutely sick but I think the practical thing is if UK has any of these machines they're just too far away for me to play.

If it's Scarlet Dawn, then there is still hope then even if it will take "forever".
Since SEGA weren't interested anymore in making home version of THotD themself, at least Forever Entertainment could fill the gap.
They're finished with remake of the first and developing the second one.
After that may be they could move into remaking III, IV, and then finally Scarlet Dawn.

It's about priority.

That's a shame. But as I said in my other thread (https://segabits.com/forums/index.php?topic=4695.0), it's as if Sega just don't care for THotD as much as it's fans do and that if they want a "proper" horror franchise they're better off with a Rise of Nightmare remake or an Alien Syndrome/Storm reboot or something of the likes.

The strange story of arcade test boards, games made to be thrown away without being played.
Sega, Taito Konami and Namco all made arcade games with one thing in common, they were made purely to get around an obscure Japanese law.
Probably the best known of these is Dottori Kun, which was supplied with every one of Sega successful line of JAMMA arcade cabinets in the 90s, making it their best seller.

Who Created The Arcade Classic Frogger?
Spoiler: It wasn't Akira Hashimoto!

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5vT7QWIAEkBfg?format=jpg&name=small)
If you happen to look up the history of Frogger online, there's a fairly high chance that you'll encounter several articles and videos claiming that the classic game is actually based on a true story. This story typically involves a Konami employee named Akira Hashimoto coming up with the idea after stopping his car at a traffic light one day and seeing a frog struggling to cross a busy road.
This has been reported in the past by places like Mental Itch and The Gamer, and on YouTube channels like PatmanQC. But, when we asked Inoue about this, he claimed that he didn't know anyone by that name. Instead, he tells us that Frogger is actually the work of Takahide Harima and potentially two other programmers inside Konami.
Harima is a figure who barely has a footprint online, with one of the only references to him being a GDRI listing (taken from the Canadian Copyrights database), which implied that he might be the same person as Toshio Arima (another programmer who was at Konami during this period). As Inoue clarified to us back in 2022, however, they are actually two separate people, ...

"I believe that a strong tie was forged between the sales and development divisions, and the fact that they were able to work together as one on the same vector, was a cornerstone of the success of the Smart Pachislot Hokuto No Ken. When I met with the sales personnel later, I was pleased to hear him say, “You adopted my feedback!” and I feel that it was truly a good initiative for both sides.
One of our strategies is to improve business efficiency through the improvement of development efficiency and cost reduction. The Smart Pachislot Hokuto No Ken, for example, has newly adopted a 15.6-inch LCD with a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is more efficient in terms of sharing animation and reuse of the cabinet, instead of the ...

GAN Announces Definitive Agreement to be Acquired by SEGA SAMMY CREATION
Total acquisition price is $107.6m and expected to close at the end of 2024.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F-YSt8abMAAiRjZ?format=png&name=small)
Seamus McGill, Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer of GAN, commented:
"After a thoughtful review of value creation opportunities available to us, we are pleased to have reached this agreement with SSC. Market share concentration in the U.S. B2C space, a slower than expected adoption of regulated online gaming in the U.S., along with changes to key customer contracts make the near-term operating environment challenging without ample capital resources. Sega Sammy has those resources and GAN is a strategic complement to their existing gaming portfolio. We believe this all-cash offer, at a substantial premium to recent trading prices, is the value-maximizing path for our shareholders.”
The proposed merger is subject to the approval of GAN shareholders. The Company will ask its ...

So... Sega Sammy are being brought out?
No, SEGA Sammy Creation has been already operating in overseas countries, mostly in United States and Hong Kong.
GAN Limited is a fallen-from-grace backend software provider for casino operators in the United States and B2C online gaming operator in Europe and South America.
They are now kinda struggling and the question is .. Why would a $5bn market cap Japanese conglomerate be interested in making a distressed debt investment into a struggling US-listed nanocap?
It seems that the most likely reason is the potential full buyout and more time required to perform the due diligence.

No, SEGA Sammy Creation has been already operating in overseas countries, mostly in United States and Hong Kong.
GAN Limited is a fallen-from-grace backend software provider for casino operators in the United States and B2C online gaming operator in Europe and South America.
They are now kinda struggling and the question is .. Why would a $5bn market cap Japanese conglomerate be interested in making a distressed debt investment into a struggling US-listed nanocap?
It seems that the most likely reason is the potential full buyout and more time required to perform the due diligence.
More about it here : https://www.specialsituationinvestments.com/2023/06/gan-limited-gan-company-sale-upside-tbd/
So.. GAN are being brought out by Sega Sammy?
SEGA announced the launch of "Zombies Ready, Deady, Go!"

Tentative names, kinda like generic RPG character's job / class (paladin, monk, archer, warlock, cleric, etc).
Character's name is our name that we typed before we played the game.

I think I remember some TV series who had a villain doing something because he's bored while the protagonists thought some crazy and believable conspiracy theories but turned out no ... he's just bored.
I forget what series, She-Wolf of London may be.

What kind of parents name their kids "Band Girl" or "The Fighter"?
I bet these characters came up with their own names because they thought it sounded cool but just sounded ridiculous.

No, it's more like we can really type our name in the game so that the character in the game is just our avatar.
Back then we typed our name when we finished the game (or getting game over but our scores is good enough to put in the rank), and it's just three letters initial.
Right now sometimes it's the other way around, especially if there's online rank.
Some even could sync with cards that already have our data so that our name would appeared instantly without typing anything.

SEGA Sammy: Pachinko Optimism, The Pachinko business is rebounding with the loosening of regulations and the introduction of smart machines, which are seeing an uptake in parlours, driving growth.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FcuN0iCX0AAIpUw?format=jpg&name=small)
Pachinko was a bit of a dying market due to demographic factors and also expensive underlying regulations that force frequent upgrades and replacement of these machines at a minimum every two years, but it was compounded in 2016 by laws around gambling addiction, that were enacted into law not because of the Pachinko industry but because of the recent legalisation of casinos - Pachinko got caught in the crossfire. The industry has been shrinking since re-regulation till now by about 5% per year driven by parlour closures. Payouts from the machines were reduced and so was excitement, and advertising curbs also limited growth. But rules have loosened recently, specifically allowing more latitude for Pachinko advertising but also around Pachinko machine features, and analysts in the sector typically see the regulatory cycles playing out over a decade before turning again. This is going to be good for smaller Pachinko operators that have been under a lot of pressure from both higher utility costs and the inability to run profitably with all the regulation, who have otherwise been leaving the market in droves over the last decade. The end of the pandemic has also helped. Although, the market is still generally on a downtrend, especially on general inflation.
There are more trends to be aware of. There are now Smart Pachislot and Smart Pachinko machines that are easier to manage because they don't shoot out medals or coins associated with their slot machine-like jackpots. These are really expensive machines, and only really make sense for high profile parlours to buy. The good thing is Sega Sammy is highly exposed to these sorts of machines and high quality customers, and ordering for these units has wholly beaten expectations and puts them ahead of less sophisticated competitors. This is also why Pachislot grew but Pachinko not as much - Pachislot is younger and the smart machines drive more of the mix there, while Pachinko is still waiting for the smart products to grow in the mix. Utilisation rates are also growing faster on Pachislot compared to Pachinko, driving upgrades. Sega Sammy, as well as competitor Universal Entertainment (OTCPK:UETMF), have also both been benefiting from the periodic need of parlours to upgrade machines to comply with gambling standards, now getting lots of orders for the 6.5th generation Pachislot machines, and also orders for Smart Pachinko machines too although smartification hasn't ...

“IAAPA 2023 was truly an unforgettable event! A big thank you to all guests who visited us during the four-day show; it was a pleasure to see you all there! We are genuinely humbled by your positive feedback that Sega Amusements had the most impressive line-up of games at the show,” commented Paul Williams, CEO at SEGA Amusements.
Apex Rebels truly stole the spotlight as a showstopper. Players and operators were raving about it, calling it one of the slickest arcade racing games on the market, with gameplay that won them over instantly. This game is definitely a must-watch in 2024, as operators are already looking to make space for it in their arcades and FECs. Hyper Cross debuted alongside Apex Rebels, exciting operators with its innovative approach to motion games. The new snowmobile experience captivated players and operators alike. Another jewel that attracted large crowds was Zombies Ready Deady Go! Players are calling it the best derby-styled, fast-paced game they've ever played, while ...

It’s game over for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, better known as E3.
The Entertainment Software Association, the video-game trade group that ran the convention, announced Tuesday that E3, first launched in 1995, is winding down.
“After more than two decades of hosting an event that has served as a central showcase for the U.S. and global video game industry, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has decided to bring E3 to a close,” the trade group said in a statement. “ESA remains focused on advocating for ESA member companies and the industry workforce who fuel positive cultural and economic impact every day.”
Even before the coronavirus pandemic, E3 was losing steam. Geoff Keighley, founder of the Game Awards (who said he had attended every E3 since the first one), in 2020 launched Summer Game Fest. Before E3 2020 was canceled, Keighley said he was not participating in the expo because he believes in-person events don’t serve gaming fans, developers or publishers as well as ...

"Our Target Is Disney" - How Michael Jackson And The AS-1 Took SEGA Into The Future

Continuing a long-standing association with his favourite game-making company, Jackson agreed to become involved in the simulator between tour dates in late 1992, where he made further visits to Sega's Haneda headquarters, a noted favourite past-time of his when in Japan. Extraordinary negotiations are said to have taken place – the ‘King of Pop’ was closely involved in its creation, yet did not want to be paid for his involvement. He would, however, receive an R360 for his all-encompassing private arcade, where Sega’s machines had taken pride of place since the 1980s. Jackson would go on to appear in a pre-show for Megalopolis and starred throughout as the narrator/instructor of Scramble Training, with the title renamed and reworked with new contributions from Mizuguchi’s ‘Emotion Design Lab’ to reflect this.
By the Summer of 1993, the AS-1 was finally ready for release, with Michael Jackson in Scramble Training revealed at the Summer CES in the US and a trailer for Megalopolis making its aforementioned appearance at SIGGRAPH '93. At the end of the year, the simulators were installed in several of Sega’s newest, biggest, and brightest locations up to ...
