The bitter sweet lament seems to sum up the mixed feelings that greet those that attended Amusement Showcase International (ASI) this year. In this first part of the show report we look at the turbulence that has hit the Japanese satellites – reflected on the show floor with prominent departures, also the latest new video releases that have hit the US shores and the reality of the ‘Tekken 6’, and that of ‘Street Fighter IV’ appearance plans in the States.

IRVING, TX — Dave & Buster's Inc., offered for sale last February at a reported $600 million asking price by owner Wellspring Capital Management, may have six companies making bids in an ongoing auction process, according to Nation's Restaurant News.
