Need some advice from anyone with a custom built arcade cabinet. Look to build one myself but not sure what I'm going to use as my base - PCB board, pc or raspberry PI. Anyone have any experience, suggestions as to what they consider to be the best option or why I shouldn't use one over the other. Which front end/software to use etc.. , any info would be appreciated.

PC gives you more options on what you can play on it because Windows runs more emulators than anything else and it has a ton more power than a Pi. But of course a Pi uses far less power and therefore cooling is not an issue. If you go PC I suggest Mameui for Arcade games, if you want more recommended emulators for other platforms let me know.

I hope this means they will let Lego put some Star Wars and Marvel stuff into Lego Dimensions.

Not too disappointed, the first one was brilliant, but the Marvel series was garbage and the Star Wars one had no replayability. Not being able to use whoever, whenever was the killer.

Wonder if this will improve sales for Dimension and Skylanders, or if they're next?

News of this broke just before the Giant Bombcast was done recording this weeks episode. Jeff Gerstmann said that when Lego Dimensions entered the market last year the revenue of the Toys To Life market didn't expand, it just shrank the share of the market that Skylanders, Disney Infinity and Nintendo Amiibo had. Might have been room for Skylanders and Infinity but not for Amiibo and Lego also, someone had to loose.

I wonder if we will see a new Skylanders at E3 and if Nintendo will continue the Amiibo with the NX. At work I sell far more Infinity figures than any other Toys To Life stuff, but really sales of all of them have plummeted off a cliff.

Hope you price matched to Big W. We had the game (till it sold out) for $59, I paid $56 for it with staff discount so I really wasn't expecting anything great going into the game because if a brand new $100 game can be had for $56 how good can it be??? But I was really happy with the games campaign, it feels great killing Demons leaping around.

For those of you that have a gaming PC you might be surprised that it can get great frame rates at high settings without having a Titan X. I have a GTX 970 and I'm getting 60fps with dips to 55fps on Ultra settings at 1440p.

Truth!

I'm only running it on 1080p, but it's otherwise maxed on my GTX970 and it runs like a dream!
(Given this game, and Carmageddon, was my justification for a new PC last year I'm feeling pretty pleased! )
