:lol , Oh Sega, you never cease to top yourself!

Just last night I was thinking to myself, "Why haven't we seen any good games of beetles battling other beetles recently?"

Eeeery.

Howza 'bout Beetle Battle Mushi King Buggle Bobble? In any case this is right up there in alliteration with Dr. Seuss's the Butter Battle Book!

Who the fuck is running Sega these days? If anyone needs me I'll be in the angry dome!

Someone who knows how to make them money. Mushiking's their most lucrative franchise in a while, last I read up on it.

Ohhh that. Someone showed me that down in London. Seems amazingly understated and niche to be in an arcade full of brands, but it pulls in the punters I was told.

Hey, I remember that game... Some shots came up a long time ago.... Good to see it's doing well... Too the Netherlands is nearly dry of arcades... We need some more! Bring them back!!!!

Did we ever find out what arcade board MushiKing used? I've heard Naomi, Naomi 2, Triforce and Chihiro all before... which is it? :/

 

[GG-Duo]

do Japanese kids still collect beetles and stuff?

I think Sega heard about Cave's new manic 2D shooter fest Mushihime Sama and is tryin' to show 'em up.
