Bobblehead Baseball is Andamiro’s newest video redemption game and first licensed title from MLB Players Inc., a subsidiary of the MLBPA. The new “videdemption” game pits arcade gamers against the bobble-headed avatars of MLB’s biggest stars in this fast-action, wholesome video game that awards tickets. The novel game has three adjustable difficulty levels (easy, normal and hard) and its pitchers are programmed to throw fastballs, curveballs or changeups. There are seven outfield targets that players can hit or need to avoid. Aim for the targets with points to accumulate tickets or hit the letters to spell G-R-A-N-D—S-L-A-M to win the Super Bobblehead Bonus. But try to avoid hitting the out markers – three outs end the game, naturally. Players apply hand-eye coordination to time their swings and accurately aim the ball.

Phoenix is the latest installment in Andamiro’s long-running Pump It Up (PIU) rhythm and dance video game introduced in South Korea in 1999. Phoenix succeeds Pump It Up XX, the 20th Anniversary edition launched four years ago. The new version adds expanded content and technical improvements to the iconic five-step dance simulation game for arcades. Foremost among these features is the all-new Premium Mode, designed for players looking for enhanced challenges. Only in Premium Mode can players unlock six exclusive songs. Premium Mode, accessed only by using an AM.PASS card, is one of three modes rounded out by Full Mode for advanced and intermediate players and Basic Mode for beginners. Guaranteed to thrill seasoned players and novices alike, Phoenix is further boosted with a scoring range based on a 1 million points system and new plates. Even more, Phoenix boasts 100 score levels from the highest achievement of SSS+ – a perfect game – then stepping down to all grades. Finally, Phoenix expands PIU’s dance steps selection and reorganizes 150-plus player reward labels. Central to all Pump It Up games is music, and Phoenix raises the bar with a comprehensive playlist tailored for rhythm action. Shipping with more than 500 tracks, the new game’s music library includes 150 updates, the latest K-pop hits and and a vast World Music selection, along with popular Pump It Up originals from such celebrated dance game composers as Zekk, Litmus*, Sbrem and Max, among many other artists.
