If you’re into motion capture, then this issue if for you. However, it’s not just basic motion capture here, this outlines and documents the motion capture process for both SoulCalibur and Tekken 3! Both complete landmark games. It’s quite a great look behind-the-scenes.
Additionally, there’s some other SoulCalibur character relationship pages, which is something to see, as the game had only hit arcades a few months earlier, and the Dreamcast version was still months away.
There’s an early peek at Armadillo Racing again, and some other wacky redemption-based games. We also see Gunbarl! Which I believe it Point Blank 2, as well as some other PSX titles coming home soon.
There’s Techno Drive in here, which never came home in any form, I believe it’s been emulated, though. One heck of a cabinet on that one.

A nice cross-section of news from Spring 1998 this week. I’m pretty pleased to see hoe much love that Namco was giving their universe during this time.
This issue was released in Japan while I was working at a Namco arcade in the United States, and I’ll tell you, the US side of the arcade business wished they were this passionate. (But, what are you gonna do?)

My first foray into NOURS preservation has yielded some fantastic results. Amazingly, this early issue was released mere days before the PSX launch in Japan. There’s a wonderful selection of full-page spread previews of Namco’s PSX launch lineup, including Ridge Racer, Cybersled, Starblade, and Tekken.
This is somewhat astonishing of a launch lineup from Namco, and I feel that it’s at this point, the graphical lines between arcade games and home ports of those arcade games truly started to blur. In November 1994, Tekken 1 was less than a year old in arcades, and was already receiving a port that was superior in a lot of ways.
Also covered is Ace Driver, meant at this time to be an evolution on Namco’s racing model, but sadly the franchise only lasted a couple games.
There’s a wonderful guide to spending Christmas night at Wonder Eggs with all-new redemption games! There’s a small preview of Gunbullet, known in the west as Point Blank, along with some other games, a handful of console previews, and some other assorted fun!
