Though there have not been many major arcade releases out West to speak of this Summer (albeit due to most being delayed into the coming weeks), other parts of the world have already seen a few new games launch, with Asia receiving several. One place in which that has been happening is of course Japan, who recently received two very different titles based on their anime and manga juggernauts. So whilst we still await full confirmation on new releases for us, let\u2019s take a quick look at One Piece Dawn Strike<\/em> and Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba: Battle Slash<\/em>.<\/p>\n The game we have already covered the most of the two is One Piece Dawn Strike<\/em>, which Bandai Namco prominently announced last August on a livestream for the highly successful swashbuckling franchise<\/a>. For those who may be unfamiliar with it, this effectively takes Taito\u2019s old Sonic Blast Man<\/em> and Real Puncher<\/em> punching bag game formula and spruces it up for today (indeed, the cabinet is mostly identical to the 2011 sequel Sonic Blast Heroes<\/em><\/a>) \u2013 using a vertical screen and 3D visuals based on the greatest One Piece villains, who you inevitably duke it out with as Luffy.<\/p>\nOne Piece Dawn Strike<\/h2>\n
