BANDAI NAMCO Amusement Europe is anticipating a successful IAAPA Expo Europe next week in Paris with a stand that will boast some of the world’s most popular amusement titles.
Super Bikes 3 from Raw Thrills, which BNAE supplies into EMEA, is proving extremely popular and the company is reportedly struggling to keep up with demand for the bike racing title.
“Super Bikes has always been a top selling title for us and the third version of this best seller has taken fantasy bike racing to another level with captivating game play and tracks,” said James Anderson, commercial and sales director at BNAE.
Phil Kennedy from operator Funtech France said: “For 20 years, BNAE has delivered show-stopping motorcycle style games and Super Bikes 3 doesn’t disappoint. The astonishing cabinet and attention to detail on the graphics are making this product one of the best video games in my operations.”
Another from the Raw Thrills stable, Nerf Arcade is a fast-paced shooting game that is designed for players of all ages. Using two, oversized Nerf Blasters, players must shoot as many targets as possible to win tickets or reach a high score. With four levels and skill-based play presented on a 65ins commercial-grade LCD, the cabinet features branded guns, seats and a 500W sound system paired with LED lighting effects and a vibrant artwork.
Also coming in with a 65ins screen is Tomb Raider from Adrenaline Amusements, a four-player shooting game featuring three chapters with five sections following the adventures of Lara Croft.
IAAPA Europe will see the debut of We Bare Bears: Food Truck Rush from Ai Solve. The multiplayer, free roam VR game is based on the award-winning TV series We Bare Bears and is a product out of the Cartoon Network VR Lab.
The first third-party IP game for AiSolve, players are directly immersed in the We Bare Bears world, operating and managing their very own food truck. The goal is to cook up food and serve as many customers as possible before the clock runs out. Players team up and work together inside the WePlayVR arena to complete orders and avoid any kitchen disasters.
BANDAI NAMCO’s prize division will be present at the event, showing the multi-coloured Scooby Doo Range, including Velma, Daphne, Shaggy and Fred. “We have had massive success with the Scooby Doo licence this year,” said EMEA sales manager Darrell Simmonds. “This is only set to continue with the new Scooby Doo movie due for release in 2020 and the new Scooby TV series on Boomerang. We will also show the new Shaun the Sheep range in time for his movie release in October, Shaun Armageddon. Also on the stand will be the Paddington range, including a giant 48ins Paddington and Scooby Doo, which is a new addition to our range of sizes. These will be joined by the ever-popular Minecraft plush.”
“The team is looking forward to IAAPA Europe – it looks set to be a fantastic show with around 600 exhibitors. Visitors will find a warm welcome on the BNAE stand,” concluded Anderson.
