Welcome to Location Watch, an occasional series of posts on Arcade Heroes that focus on brand new arcade businesses that have opened their doors recently. We cover them from any part of the world, splitting the news up between different world regions.<\/p>\n Two months into 2025 means it is high time for our first fully fledged example of these; last month we had a special edition by a true blue AH site friend focusing on locations in the Aeon Malls of Japan<\/a>, which if you missed we still highly recommend giving a read. There are also a few locations from late 2024 that we missed\u2026 our bad on those (they are included below).<\/p>\n Find the previous regular Location Watch from December 2024 here<\/a> \u2013 big thanks to everyone who has helped compile this post sending in links about these places via our comments and discussion groups on Facebook and Discord, as well as the rolling updates from RePlay Magazine<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0InterGame Online<\/a>. If you have a new venue that recently opened which we haven\u2019t covered before, please let us know!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s kick things off with a location that has been very prominent with making its own content in the run up to its opening last month. Over the past year several of our readers have been keeping track of Quarter Drop Arcade\u2019s progress, and have even noted they shouted us at AH out from time to time \u2013 so what better way to return the favor than put them up top here? This video from them to celebrate their opening covers the place well, alongside this report by the Eugene Register-Guard.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n \n![\"Location](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arcadeheroes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/arcade-heroes-location-watch-2.png?ssl=1\")
