Let\u2019s go into the weekend with an unexpected surprise. As the headline says, Asphalt 9 Legends Arcade DX Plus<\/em> is now available in North America through LAI Games<\/a> \u2013 we weren\u2019t expecting this one until next month. We\u2019ve also been waiting for news on a few other arcade racers throughout the summer, so it\u2019s nice to get the opposite.<\/p>\n This major update to the 2021 release of Asphalt Legends 9 Arcade<\/em><\/a> (AL9 I\u2019ll call it) goes with a new cabinet, only maintaining the seat style, but exchanging the monitor side for the type of cabinet that was recently introduced with 3MindWave and Wahlap\u2019s Storm Racer 2<\/em>. Here\u2019s a comparison, with the new Plus update on the right:<\/p>\n The AL9+ cabinet now has an 85\u2033 4K screen oriented in portrait style, while the other features (carbon fiber seat on a motion base, wind+vibration effects, force feedback steering) remain the same. Also, these new cabinets can link with Asphalt Moto Blitz DX Plus<\/em> games<\/a>, allowing for cross-play on different vehicles and you can have up to eight units linked; otherwise, operators can link up to four units of AL9+. Blitz+ doesn\u2019t have a release date announced for it yet, aside from I was told that it will be at IAAPA. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it\u2019s been moved up, but they also could wait a month or two to give AL9+ some room to breathe.<\/p>\nAs a note, the producers of this game, Wahlap, are a site sponsor, but they did not pay for this post.<\/em><\/h6>\n
