This game is currently situated inside of our EXA ARC-1 game cabinet. We changed the screen orientation back to horizontal, and have also put Jitsu Squad Feat. The Samurai Pizza Cats into the same machine. We still have DoDonPachi True Death EXA Label, we’ve just moved it over to the 4K EXA cab with the giant screen. This game is 3 tokens to play, as it is a modern game with high-end graphics (likely the best graphics out of all the games we currently have).

For those who are curious about what is different or better about this particular version of the game, here’s a quick list:

• 3 Frame input lag response – The fastest, most responsive version of the game in existence!
• Improved graphics with full AA, 60 FPS, and faster load times
• Real arcade controls
• New voices and artwork, the latter produced by TEKKEN artist Junny
• Another Arcade Galactic exclusive, as no one else in Utah has this game!

Besides all that, playing these types of games is always better in the arcade, with your opponent right at your side, instead of against some anon online where network lag reduces the enjoyment of such games.

Omen of Sorrow: For the hardcore players

If you are a part of the “Fighting Game Community” (FGC), then Omen of Sorrow has been designed to reward you. The game comes with a resource game mechanic that rewards offensive and defensive play, or punishes poor players. There is also the unusual inclusion of a Training mode – our only fighter in the arcade with such a mode – that allows you to really test the characters out and get a feel for their movesets and mechanics.

Per the exA website: “Besides the usual special, EX and super moves, players are rewarded for aggressive play by gaining resources to be able to cancel any move into a special move to create devastating combos or activate Blessed mode to have access to this cancel ability for a limited amount of time. While players can escape from the opponent’s oppressive offense by using guard canceling counters, tech recoveries and escapes, they are punished for overly defensive play causing them to fall into a Doomed state which limits their available move set and prevents them from guarding consecutive attacks. Utilize the in-depth Training mode to find the ultimate combo & practice how to escape situations!“

If we find interest, then we will be happy to host some tournaments for this game in the near future. Come in to give this game a play, and bring a friend or two!

We are truly grateful to PrimeTime Amusements for setting us up with a great deal on this game. We are also getting a new air hockey table from them, but anticipate receiving the pinball machine first. We’ll post a story about the air hockey table once that is closer to shipping. As a note, if you are looking to add some pinball to your collection, we are currently selling our The Mandalorian [Pro] and Star Trek [Premium] machines.

Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant’s Eye is one of the most deep and rewarding pinball machines ever created. You become a chosen member of the Dragonshield Guild, working to defeat the dragon queen Tiamat, who is hatching a plan to rise again. These events trigger the War of Dragons, with Xanathar, Balinor and Sammaster all fighting for power. Players will experience the D&D’s fantasy world under the glass, fusing pinball with the iconic franchise like never before and you can save your character progress by using the free Stern Insider Connected app on your phone.

The Premium version of the game comes with unique art and some extra goodies that the Pro models of the game don’t have. This includes a fully animatronic Rath The Relentless dragon toy that spits out pinballs, a Rising Dungeon drop scoop that takes the player into the dungeon; a Dragon diverter to “feed the dragon,” and eight pinballs instead of six.

As of this posting, we don’t know exactly when the game will arrive, but it will definitely arrive in the month of July. Stay tuned to our social media channels (Facebook / X / YouTube) for news on its arrival. Download Stern’s Insider Connected app if you haven’t already to be ready to save your character so you can jump right in!

Many years ago, we had got our hands on a Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact board. However, when anyone who was into Street Fighter III (SF3 from here on out), they wanted the superior 3rd Strike (3S). The trouble was finding a working board at a reasonable price, which didn’t really come along when we made a search.

Fast forward to 2024, and local Arcade Hero Lemony Vengeance was involved with the 3rd Strike tournament at EVO 2024. The goal was to set a new world record by bringing together the most SF33S boards together in the same room. Lemony not just borrowed our board, but gave it an upgrade to 3S; the record was set and there was an awesome tournament to accompany the feat.

What else ya got besides 3rd Strike?

Now that board is back under our care and ready for you to enjoy at Arcade Galactic – the only place in West Valley City that offers the following 1v1 fighting games under one roof:

• Chaos Code EXA
• Marvel Vs. Capcom 2
• Samurai Shodown V Perfect (EXA version)
• Super Street Fighter II Turbo (JP version)
• Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
• Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection
• The King of Fighters ’98
• The Kung Fu Vs. Karate Champ
• Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

Find us inside the Valley Fair Shopping Center, north wing close to JCPenny and Ulta Beauty.

The Asteroids Recharged arcade game is based upon the home console title of the same name. However, many changes are being made to the arcade version, many of which will be implemented during the test period. YOU can also help shape the game that it will become, by coming in and giving it a play, then sharing your feedback.

If you’ve never heard of Asteroids, then you might be younger. That’s ok! Asteroids is the best selling arcade title ever produced by Atari. Released at the very end of 1979, it became a cultural gaming icon in the 1980s.

The Asteroids Recharged Cabinet

The cabinet we have is the 3-player version, which comes with a 55″ monitor. The game uses the same control layout as the original Asteroids (Left/Right rotate; Hyperspace; Thrust; Fire), but with LED lit buttons. The game also features wind & rumble effects and there’s a pinball knocker that hits the cabinet when certain events take place.

How Long Is It Going To Be At Arcade Galactic?

Asteroids Recharged will be in the testing phase from now until June. We encourage repeat play as well, since the game will see software updates that changes up how the game works. It would be very helpful to hear feedback on whether or not those changes are good or bad.

It is also worth noting that this game was built right here in Utah by a local company, Alan-1. They are made up of retro gaming enthusiasts, who truly enjoy gaming as it existed in the 1980s. They have more on the docket for arcade gaming, so be sure to stay tuned!

Where can I find you guys?

Arcade Galactic is located inside of the Valley Fair Shopping Center on the north end of the mall. We are fairly close to where Ulta and JCPenny are located. You will usually hear us before you see us. To find the mall, it is located in the heart of West Valley City, right across from City Hall on 3500 S. and 2700 W. You can also reach it via I-215 at the 3500 S. West exit.

What is Arcade Legend VR?

Build and manage your own arcade in Arcade Legend. Play officially licensed arcade games with friends in VR and win tickets and prizes. Check out the latest trailer to see the game’s recent updates including bowling, licensed DLC featuring the Big Bass Wheel, and Skee-Ball Extreme.

The Arcade Legend VR Retro Update

As of today, March 7th, Arcade Legend VR released the “Retro Update,” which includes the aforementioned addition of the Arcade Galactic venue to the game. Think of this as a second venue – it is not a 1:1 recreation of our existing site. Due to the nature of game licensing, it can’t feature all of the Namco, Sega, Taito, Raw Thrills games that we have, however, it carries with it the same spirit that we strive for in our physical location.

What Games Can I Play?

The current line-up features titles that have been licensed from the Pico8 platform. These are retro in style and gameplay, feeling just like a game would from the ’80s. In this sense, the virtual venue for Arcade Galactic is like an expanded “Classic Corner” that we have, where you can find and play games that came from a different era. We have often and still operate “indie” arcade games, along with super-rare retro games. The VR version encapsulates that vibe, where the focus is on fun while gaming instead of all on tickets and prizes.

How Does It Work?

Consult this handy quick guide on how to use the joystick controls that you come across within the virtual world. It’s pretty easy and is the next best thing to handling physical ones!

This game is a unique version of Enter The Gungeon that is exclusive to arcades. Instead of being a dual-stick shooter, this is instead a light-gun game based upon the ETG universe. Players “enter the gungeon” and must immediately defend themselves by using their light-gun controller. As you play, you will collect new guns (up to 40 weapons) which have different force feedback effects. The gungeons are also different every time you play, meaning that this game never gets old to explore!

It also features interactive, destructible environments and a graphical style that screams mid-90s gaming – with some modern touches. Shoot at the targets which appear when you are being attacked to dodge, uncover secrets, fight bosses and aim to get the top high score!

The game is 4 tokens to start, 2 to continue and can be enjoyed by 1-2 players. Find us inside of the Valley Fair Mall near JCPenny (north end of the mall) to experience this awesome arcade title!

Then you might enjoy Donut Dodo Do!

Originally created for PC & consoles, Donut Dodo captures the look and feel of an arcade game produced in 1983. The objective is to control Chef Billy to collect all of the donuts on the level, while avoiding enemies like rats, fireballs, and…toilets. Once you collect all of the small donuts, you can grab the giant donut – being protected by the Dodo Bird – to move on to the next level.

Donut Dodo Do! is a new arcade version that keeps the gameplay intact, while adding some exclusive features! These include a unique stage, in-game side art created by Makoto Yabe, and the addition of a two-player co-op mode where you can play as Billy’s wife Bella and grab those donuts together.

This fun and retro-style game is ONLY found in Utah at Arcade Galactic – in fact, we’re the first location in the entire USA to grab it! Find it on our exA-Arcadia cabinet right next to the Neo Geo MVS, where it’s playable in glorious 4K resolution.

We are excited to announce that SNK’s SAMURAI SHODOWN V PERFECT is coming to our West Valley location, where it will be found on our exA-Arcadia system to play.

This game was originally meant to be the very last game released to the Neo Geo MVS arcade system but it was cancelled and went unreleased until 2018 when it was included on the Samurai Shodown Collection for consoles.

This arcade release marks the DEFINITIVE version of the game and includes the following exclusive features that you will not find on either the console nor the MVS bootleg floating around out there:

• Mastered for 4K displays
• 1-frame of input lag (virtually identical to the CRT tube original)
• New gameplay balancing, tuned for arcades
• Restored & uncensored “Overkill” fatalities
• Blood
• Select your preferred button layout (MVS original or AES)
• In-game character banner art by famed Samurai Shodown III artist Shiroh Ohno
• Completed character storylines & corrected English translation
• New text fonts
• Play it on a real arcade cabinet with real controls – just like it was meant to be!

As of this writing, Arcade Galactic West Valley is the ONLY place in Utah where you’ll find this game.

Update 9/29/22: Here’s the game, which is now available in West Valley!

West Valley City (Valley Fair Shopping Center)

• Maximum Tune 5DX+ by Bandai Namco Amusements
• SpaceWarp 66 by Touch Magix

Ogden (Newgate Mall)

• exA-Arcadia 4-player model with Nippon Marathon Turbo Hyper = Running
• Hot Wheels Pinball

On Maximum Tune 5DX+, this is a major content update that adds 24 new licensed vehicles, including Acura and Lamborghini, 4 new challenging tracks, more dress-up parts, new music, faster loading times, expanded Japan Challenge and a new stamps system. It’s the ultimate version of this game in the United States and well worth discovering.

SpaceWarp 66 is a simple but unique game where you pilot a UFO through rings of light, aiming for the gaps. As of this writing, it hasn’t arrived yet, but it should soon.

If you are unfamiliar with the exA-Arcadia system, then click here for more details. We now have two of them – a 2-player model at West Valley City, and a 4-player model in Ogden. The 4-player model is a dedicated unit with a nicer look and currently features a 4-player game, Nippon Marathon Turbo Hyper=Running. It’s a lot of fun, especially with some friends! We also took our TMNT and Pac-Man Battle Royale machines from WVC and placed it up there, expanding the available number of multiplayer games in Ogden.

In West Valley we also have had the arcade exclusive Minecraft Dungeons Arcade since the summer. This is NOT the same game you find at home, with each level specially redesigned and crafted for the arcade experience. Up to four players can enjoy this game and it also vends collectible Minecraft cards with each play! While there is another local place that has this game, playing it at our place is cheaper

We are also working to get any broken games repaired. We’ve had a few down in WVC, various games seeming to break all at the same time. Unfortunately, the supply chain issues that have plagued every part of the economy has meant longer wait times on parts or some parts being out of stock for much longer periods of time. We are working to get everything up and running as quickly as possible though – thanks for your patience.
