    Namco Bandai unveiled their new Star Wars arcade game today. Looks like Star Wars Trilogy 2 but with a large, curved screen inside the pod you sit in. Here's the only footage of it I'm aware of:

    Yeah, it is based on those popular Gundam simulators, where you have the feel, you are piloting an anctual robot.

    Anybody play this yet? Looks like it is ONLY at Dave and Busters (at least that's what the TV commercial said), and there's not a single one in all of Nevada!

    Oh man--My girlfriend and I took her nephews to a local funplex with an arcade, and I got to geek out and try Battlepod. It is soooooo very awesome. I haven't enjoyed a Star Wars game or flight sim so much since I was a kid playing the X-Wing PC game!

    Oh, and kudos to the OP @Guybrush Threepwood for the awesome LucasArts-themed handle ;)

    We just stayed at the Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells and they had one in one of their arcades. I almost crapped myself because I had only seen them online. I didn't have a chance to play but I did peek through the bubble as another guy played and it looked awesome!
