eu Super Bikes 2 hits Europe

Super Bikes 2 hits EuropeSuper Bikes 2, the new crazy mororcycle game from Raw Thrills, hits Europe today! What's new compared to the first installment released in 2006? The machine has been completely redesigned: the screen is bigger (42" instead of 27), cabinet colour changed from red to yellow and there are many more LEDs to attract the public. Game content is not left on the roadside with 11 new courses (20 in total), 12 new bikes (in addition to 9 rides from the previous version), new stunt moves and new shortcuts to discover. Up to 8 machines can be connected for heated races with friends. It is worth noting that unlike Nirin or Manx TT, Super Bikes 2 offers off-road racing where the player's performance allow him to upgrade his bike, he can then save his progress using a PIN code and pick up his tuned bike back later. Like other Raw Thrills titles, the game does not take itself seriously, it's fun that matters, and we can be confident on that point! The races take place in locations like Chicago, Las Vegas, Paris, Detroit, Dubai, Monaco and Shanghai, but also in the Himalayas and even in space! But while courses are fanciful, the vehicles are existing models: Kawasaki 450F, Ninja ZX-14, Vulcan 2000 Classic, Yamaha Warrior, R1, VMax, Ducati 1198s, Monster, Streetfighter, ... Super Bikes 2 is available at all Bandai Namco Games European distributors.

jp Chou Chabudai Gaeshi 2

Chou Chabudai Gaeshi 2Taito's Chou Chabudai Gaeshi 2 uses the same concept as the first title. You're the father of a traditional Japanese family in several situations that gets on your nerves. So you smash your hands on the table to show your authority until the point where you're so upset that you drop the table upside down (physically!). The score is influenced by the number of broken objects in the process. Score calculation is done on a karaoke song with several replays of your act. The cabinet remains the same but the game will feature 7 stages (including new version of the ones seen in the original and brand new situations such as funerals, part-time job and school) and features up to 4 player simultaneous play.
