Pinball, Arcade & Barcade Watch

Track pinball and arcade culture for US fans. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: new machine reveals, pricing, preorder windows and code updates from Stern, Jersey Jack, American Pinball, Spooky, Chicago Gaming, Pinball Brothers, Dutch Pinball, Multimorphic and Barrels of Fun; home and commercial machine price increases and deals; barcade and arcade openings and closures in the 100 largest metros including Dave & Buster's, Round1, Barcade, Up-Down, Emporium, 16-Bit, Logan Arcade and independents; tournament and league registration windows at IFPA, PAPA, Stern Army and major local events; Pinball Expo, Texas Pinball Festival, Pinburgh, Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show, Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo and Replay FX dates and ticket sales; used machine market moves of 20 percent or more and notable auction results; recalls and safety notices; and home cabinet deals of 25 percent or more from Arcade1Up and AtGames. Prefer manufacturer announcements, venue pages, IFPA, show organizers, auction houses and established pinball reporting; ignore unverified rumors. Put the maker, venue or event first in the title with the date and price. Use high severity for a reveal with a preorder window closing within 14 days, a price increase of 10 percent, a venue opening or closing in a metro over one million people, or a tournament registration closing within 7 days. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the price, when and where, how to get it, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
