History
Development of exA-Arcadia hardware began in September 2017.12 The system's first title was developed by a former Cave Interactive staff member who worked on games such as DoDonPachi and DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou.34 The platform used a custom operating system based on Microsoft Windows.25
In March 2020, Cave Interactive joined exA-Arcadia to develop DoDonPachi True Death, the first EXA Label title. By September 2020, retail partners Beep and KVC Lab began selling exA-Arcadia products. The game was released on 30 November 2020, with video game distribution in Japan handled by the Japanese prize manufacturer Eikoh. In 2020, Cave Interactive announced a partnership to bring their titles, starting with DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou, to the exA-Arcadia platform.6
Following the COVID-19 pandemic and cancellation of events, exA-Arcadia made its U.S. debut at the 2021 Amusement Expo International, a United States trade show held in Las Vegas, Nevada. A deluxe-sized American-style cabinet with a 55" (139 cm) 4K display was showcased at the event, along with 24 games on exhibition.
In 2020, the Dutch company Hawt Pink Club BV developed Hawt Pink Club, an exA-Arcadia-compatible arcade board that focuses on adult arcade games. This system made its debut at the 2020 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in January.7 In April 2021, the Japanese company Hacker Global announced it would begin distributing the Hawt Pink Club product line.8 The system and games were exhibited at the Amusement Expo International in July 2021.
In November 2022, exA-Arcadia debuted its ARC-1 cabinet in one, two, and four-player configurations at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo in Orlando, Florida.
In Japan, the GM Corporation (Japanese: 株式会社ジーエム商事) started distribution of exA-Arcadia products, while Genda GiGO Entertainment, which acquired all the Sega World locations, distributed exA-Arcadia conversion kits throughout Japan. In the United States, distribution was expanded through Player One Amusement Group (Cineplex Entertainment) and Moss Distributing. CSML Group started distribution in India and PT Megaindo Gemilang Lestari brought the distribution of exA-Arcadia products to Indonesia.
At the April 2024 Evolution Championship Series, held at Ariake GYM-EX, exA-Arcadia announced their new Japanese-style sit-down cabinet dubbed the ARC-32 and 10 new fighting games.9
