Sega’s ATEI Line up 2007
Posted by Graham. Filed under News.
 
Sega Amusments Europe Ltd. are set to steal this years ATEI show in Earl’s Court, London. Sega will be taking the largest stand space ever seen outside of Japan for the company at this weeks exhibition – 102% larger than last years in fact. The proud claim comes as part of Sega taking the lead in moving upstairs at the Earl’s Court venue and adopting the largest stand in the hall.
“The need for more stand space is more apparent than ever this year with the quantity and variety of equipment we are showing, aside from the fact that we will be showing the largest amusement machine the industry has ever seen in the form of Out Run 2 Special Attractionâ€Â, commented Justin Burke of Sega.
Measuring 8.25m wide the 8 player ‘Out Run 2 Special Attraction’ is a hot contender to steal machine of the show before it even starts. Without being shown in Europe yet the orders are coming in thick and fast according to Sega – proving ‘size does matter!’ Featuring the moulded rear end of four Ferrari’s the game has four 62†screens, over head live leader board monitor, full motion based simulation, and the unique ‘Driver Switching System’ allowing two players to drive the same car!
The company will be spread over 500sq metres and offer visitors a range that will include driving, shooting, novelty, sport, centrepieces and attractions in a variety of cabinet formats that put Sega head and shoulders above the competition. Along with the first outing for the company’s new spares division, Sega Total Solutions, who as of February 2007 will be supplying Sega spares direct to the market place, as we mentioned in a previous article a little while ago.
Also, after the tremendously successful Ghost Squad of 2005, that sold in excess of 800 units, the follow up Ghost Squad Evolution promises to be another hit across Europe. The game will get is world premier at the ATEI this year and will be available for Easter. ÂÂ
Sega will additionally be showing the House and Dead 4 Special Attraction, the latest version of World Club Champion Football 2005 – 2006, the full range of Afterburner Climax cabinets, and the Lindbergh universal upright cabinet. Plus several more top franchises including Love and Berry, Let’s Go Jungle and Dinosaurking.
 So stay tuned for more Sega news from the ATEI show this coming week….

Nice!! The arcade is one place Sega has been consistenly good. There also seems to be an increase in Arcade game output.
I recently played Virtua Tennis 3 and HotD 4, and both were great.
With nextgen ports of both VF5 and VT3 coming, hopefully After burner climax and other arcade games will follow. And that lightgun Wii game might possibley be arcade-based.
