RAS2025-10-04T18:34:19+00:00Welcome to Newsbytes, the series of posts here on Arcade Heroes that collects various recent pieces of news from around the arcade and pinball worlds into one digestible article. It’s been a little while since the last of these, so there is a fair share of content and stories that has built up since then. Thanks to anyone (e.g. Ryan, Project and Ted) who has shared them with us and helped bring this post together.

RAS2025-10-02T23:20:55+00:00Back in late January, one of the first surprise location tests of the year to pop up was for a mysterious new arcade rhythm game by the name of “Penda Beats” from Bandai Namco. This went on test in Japan completely unannounced, but quickly created a small buzz online, and received several other tests over there in the following months. Things then went very quiet for it, with still no official announcement of its existence by the company, but...

IAAPA Expo Europe 2025 Round-Up: New Arcade Games In Europe
RAS2025-10-01T20:19:49+00:00Welcome to our coverage of IAAPA Expo Europe 2025, which was held in Barcelona, Spain this past week. Note that we ourselves did not attend the Expo, but as usual, we have consulted with people who were there (e.g. Kevin Williams) that have helped to verify information. Most of the photos we’ve gathered here are from public shares on LinkedIn; initially we had hoped to get some original snaps, but on this occasion that wasn’t to be for most of...
Holy Bike! Keith Young’s Handmade Rat Bike
RAS2025-10-01T16:00:00+00:00This article appeared in Make: Vol. 89. Subscribe for more maker projects and articles! For some, there is nothing more beautiful than the sound of a motorcycle revving its engine in the distance. The raw power, the noise, and the sheer unadulterated coolness of a good motorcycle can seem almost heavenly to the bikers and gearheads of the world (as well as providing excellent canvases for making and customization). All of the motorcycle’s power and potential...

This Arduino Nano R4-controlled hourglass simulates sand with LEDs
RAS2025-10-01T14:24:21+00:00Arduino Team — October 1st, 2025 Outside of playing board games, hourglasses are almost entirely pointless these days. And yet, they’re still incredibly satisfying. Watching the sand fall in a steady and consistent stream is downright mesmerizing. Sadly, you probably can’t make your own hourglass unless you happen to be very skilled at glassblowing. But you can create this LED hourglass with sand physics instead. Four years ago, Edison Science Corner posted a...

TweetThis chest contains the beating heart of Davy Jones
RAS2025-09-29T12:37:17+00:00Arduino Team — September 29th, 2025 The Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise really likes to make figurative elements and metaphors quite literal, as shown in Dead Man’s Chest when the chest in question is shown to contain the actual beating heart of Davy Jones. That’s a fun visual that Grendel Studios turned into a real-life prop. The chest built by Grendel Studios isn’t an exact replica of what we see in the movie, but it...
