Initial D Arcade Stage 8 Infinity will be on location on the weekend of January 18-19, 2014 at several Japanese game centers. During the location test, players will get free stickers. The Initial D license used at the location test (300 yens) can't be used in the final version of the game. Some new features in Initial D Arcade Stage 8 Infinity have already been unveiled on the game website. The "Legend of the Streets" story mode is renewed with special challenges taken from famous scenes of the manga such as "avoid spilling the cup of water" or "cause Iketani to faint". When the player finishes all stage with the higher rank, he will unlock an hidden stage. He can now choose what is displayed on screen: earned titles, tachometer type and even use the "cup of water". "D coins", an in-game currency is used for special tuning of the cars. A new special rank is also added. Initial D Arcade Stage 7 AA X card data can be transfered to Initial D Arcade Stage 8 Infinity (not in the location test version).

Konami releases Winning Eleven Arcade Championship 2014 today. This 2014 edition of the famous football game features a new game engine which allows more realistic collisions between players, finer body movements and ball touch. It also improves the graphics. The ball control has also been improved thanks to the new concept of center of gravity which allows separate control of the ball and the player's center of gravity. A new "trade transfer" mode between teams is added to the traditional "transfers negotiation" way of transfer. The game now gets the Champions League license that features more than 250 teams. Winning Eleven Arcade Championship 2012 data can be transferred via e-AMUSEMENT PASS.
