Check out New Star Wars Arcade Game Battle Pod in Action
 |
We’ve known about this game for a while, but so far all that have been shown are static pictures. Today we get our first look at the game in action, with its immersive dome and flight-simulator set-up that lets you virtually fly into the battles of Hoth, Endor, Death Star I and Death Star II (NO PREQUELS).
It’s in select arcades now, and expanding, presumably to places like Dave and Buster’s where people who play it will remember the original movies, versus a new generation of kids who, months from now, will be saying: “Where’s Finn? Where’s Kylo Ren? Why no shiny flashy things right into your eyes? This isn’t Star Wars.” (Resign yourself, people. That will happen.)
