Last year, Arcade Shock brought us special exclusive Evolution Championship Series arcade parts from Sanwa Denshi. This year, they’re back with another set of exclusive parts.

The pushbuttons (OBSF-30-MG and OBSF-30-MS) will retail for $12 each while the ball tops (LB-35-MG LB-35-MS) will retail for $14.

As with last year’s batch, this will be a limited release with 170 pieces of each item being made. These will be available only at Arcade Shock’s booth at Evo, starting from 8:00 AM on Friday, July 15.

Viva Mexico! Ramon Joins the King of Dinosaurs and Angel in the King of Fighters XIV’s Latest Team Trailer

The King of Fighters is known for its popularity in Latin America, especially Mexico. As such, it’s no surprise that SNK has created a number of Mexican characters for it over the years.

In their latest team trailer for the King of Fighters XIV, one of those characters makes a return. Ramon joins together with Angel and the King of Dinosaurs to form Team Mexico.

In the trailer below, Ramon shows off his trademark flashy style completing a team that’s heavily influenced by Lucha Libre and wrestling in general.

The King of Fighters XIV crosses the border over to North America on August 23.

Blade Arcus: From Shining EX’s Sonia Is Now Free to Download in Japan

When Blade Arcus From Shining EX hit PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 late last year in Japan, early adopters were given access to an exclusive character: Shining Resonance main character Sonia Blanche.

Those who weren’t able to get her have reason to celebrate, as Sega has some great news to share. Sonia Blanche is now available to download for free via the Japanese PlayStation Store for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

In line with this, the game itself is currently on sale on the PlayStation Store, with a 40% discount for PlayStation Plus subscribers and a 20% off for non subscribers. This sale lasts until July 19.
