This Friday and Saturday, February 22 & 23, all of the famous Japanese arcade hardware and software makers will gather in Makuhari, Chiba at the Makuhari Messe Nippon Convention Center for the 2002 All Nippon Amusement Machine Operator's Union Exposition.

Known as the AOU show, this expo will feature the latest and greatest in arcade gaming hardware and games from companies such as Atlus, Konami, Sammy, Namco, Sega and Taito.

Most exciting of all, however, is the fact that Nintendo will be showing a working prototype of the Triforce Arcade Board hardware! Although all of the products to be featured at the AOU show are sure to be fantastic, the chance to see this new hardware in action is incredible.

Even more exciting is the impending announcement regarding the future of the Triforce Board and it's related software! Stay tuned to Planet GameCube this Friday night for updates direct from the show floor!
