Amusements For All !!! - JOYPOLIS, SEGA Amusement, Arcade Centers, etc Thread

I see, so in a way the Sega Renaissance was just them testing the waters through third-party developers without the repercussions.Micheal was a unique, friendly and compassionate individual. Whenever he had business sense, I do not know, but I presume he was business-savy.

But he's dead now. And all his money, legal affairs, property and licensing are with the Micheal Estate which I imagine is run by fuddy-duddies in suits and ties.

Michael love to dress as fuddy-duddies in suits and ties actually.
The difference is he's dancing with it.

I was afraid that after Brexit and UK no longer regarded part of Europe, Sega of Europe would've had to relocate to France, Germany or Brussels.

Though not like Sega of Europe let tourists waltz in for it to matter for me. Not like I'll ever get to visit it.

Never say never.
Who knows someday SEGA will give a random fan a tour to their office and that random fan is happened to us.
Slim chance but possible.

An 'OutRun' Pop-Up Shop Has Opened In Japan until  Monday, June 30th.

It's not exactly the most exciting merch collection that we've ever seen (We'd personally love to see a few more clothing options, for instance). But hey, if you happen to be in the area and have a fondness for the legendary arcade game, it's probably worth taking a look before making the trip over to Tower Records Shibuya (less than five minutes away) to see what video game soundtracks you can ...

SEGA is developing Sonic the Hedgehog location-based entertainment in the U.S. for the first time.
Roberta Perry, president of business development company Roberta Perry & Associates, shared more in the interview with her

If you were tasked with creating a new theme park food – what would it be?
One of the things I really dislike about theme park food is that it’s greasy, and I’m dirty afterward. So I always thought, why can’t I have something in a bottle for my little walk around that is tasty and fun? I would have s’mores in a bottle that I could take with me—maybe a s’mores milkshake—I like that idea.

You’re a walk-around character for a day; who do you choose?
I would be Sonic the Hedgehog. I have absolutely fallen in love with that character, and I’ve watched what happens in our lounge at IAAPA. SEGA has a lounge there, and we brought in Sonic for two days. He attracted both little kids and big kids—the bottom line was that you just needed to be a 10-year-old. There’s just something about that blue furry Sonic that is so loving. So, if I could be a walk-around character, I’d be Sonic because then I could attract everyone from 6 years old to 100. My friends in this industry and I are all 10 years old at heart.

Can you talk about what you are working on these days?
I am working for Videlio-HMS, and we’ve got some projects there, but those are under an NDA. They just opened the two lands at Epic Universe that I couldn’t talk about before it opened. Now I can at least talk about those two—Super Nintendo World and How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk. And AOA has some exciting projects again under an NDA.
I’m also working with SEGA on some great projects. This is the first time they’ve been in the location-based entertainment marketplace in the United States—a lot of Sonic the Hedgehog. We’re developing ...
