The Plot of Case Closed: The Scarlet Bullet:
Case Closed: The Scarlet Bullet takes place during the prestigious World Sports Games (WSG) held in Tokyo every four years. The event garners significant media attention, particularly due to the introduction of the Hyper Linear train that can reach an astounding speed of 1,000 km/h. However, a series of mysterious incidents unfold as top executives of WSG’s sponsor companies are kidnapped and then inexplicably released. Similar occurrences were observed during the WSG inauguration in the United States 15 years ago, leaving everyone puzzled.
Conan, the brilliant young detective, discovers that Alan McKenzie, the former chief of the FBI and current head of the WSG committee, is scheduled to be on the inaugural run of the bullet train. Determined to uncover the truth, Conan, along with Shuichi Akai, takes action. Meanwhile, Akai’s sister Masumi Sera and his mother Mary are also investigating the same case and have boarded the train. As the story unfolds, the train journey becomes even more intriguing, with Akai’s younger brother, Shukichi Haneda, a professional Shogi player, coincidentally visiting Nagoya, where the train is set to begin its run.
Promotional Activities and Future Screenings:
To further promote the Detective Conan franchise, TMS Entertainment will be hosting a screening of Case Closed: The Blue Sapphire, the 23rd film in the series, at this year’s Anime Frontier convention.

The 23rd film in the franchise, it revolves around a lost sapphire and a series of events that unfold in Singapore. When a local billionaire announces plans to retrieve the legendary “Fist of Blue Sapphire,” a murder occurs, and Kid the Phantom Thief becomes entangled in the mystery.

Apollo and Howard Theatre Set Historic ‘Best of the Apollo’ Event in D.C.
The Apollo Theater and Howard Theatre will co-present Best of the Apollo on April 26, 2026, in Washington, D.C., with Chris Spencer hosting the historic live event.
Two landmark institutions in American music are coming together for a major live event in Washington, D.C. The Apollo Theater and the Howard Theatre have announced Best of the Apollo, scheduled for April 26, 2026, at the Howard Theatre, marking the first official co-presentation between the two iconic venues.
Hosted by comedian and actor Chris Spencer, the event brings together two stages with deep roots in Black performance history. Both the Apollo and the Howard were key stops on the Chitlin’ Circuit, the network of venues that supported Black artists during segregation and helped shape the course of American music. Artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Marvin Gaye all performed on these stages.
What to watch for: this is more than a one-night concert. It is a symbolic link between Harlem and Washington, D.C., two cities with major influence on Black cultural history. The event also honors the legacy of Amateur Night at the Apollo, the long-running talent showcase known for introducing new artists to wider audiences. Performers have not yet been announced, so the lineup will be a key next step to watch.
The show takes place Sunday, April 26, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the show starting at 7 p.m. at the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C. Early-bird tickets start at $60.

Basic Fun! Unveils Category-Defining Home Arcade Collection for Fall 2026
Basic Fun! is launching a new Arcade1Up home arcade collection for Fall 2026, featuring PAC-MAN and Ms. PAC-MAN cabinets, alongside the first-ever SONIC THE HEDGEHOG cabinet marking a partnership with SEGA. The lineup aims to deliver authentic arcade experiences without quarters, appealing to both nostalgic fans and new players.
Last Updated on March 16, 2026 by Daily News Staff
Basic Fun! is hitting “start” on a new chapter for home arcade.
In a Feb. 14, 2026 announcement, the Boca Raton-based toy and consumer products company revealed its first new Arcade1Up home arcade collection since acquiring select assets of the brand in 2025. The Fall 2026 lineup is anchored by two heavy hitters: PAC-MAN (including Ms. PAC-MAN) and the first-ever SONIC THE HEDGEHOG home arcade cabinet.
Basic Fun! says the new cabinets are built to deliver the authentic arcade feel fans expect—powered by iconic franchises, premium features, and classic arcade attitude—no quarters required.
What’s in the Fall 2026 Arcade1Up lineup
PAC-MAN and Ms. PAC-MAN cabinets
Basic Fun! is leaning into the foundation of arcade nostalgia with PAC-MAN and Ms. PAC-MAN home arcade cabinets.
The company notes it is the anchor electronics licensee for PAC-MAN home arcade products through a licensing agreement with Bandai Namco Entertainment. The new machines are positioned for both longtime fans and a new generation of players—built to honor the legacy that helped define the golden age of arcades.
Sonic makes his home arcade debut
The bigger “first” in this release: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is getting his first-ever home arcade cabinet.
Basic Fun! says Sonic’s debut comes via a multi-year partnership with SEGA, timed to the franchise’s 35th anniversary. The featured product is the Sonic Supreme Series Arcade Game, described as a premium, full-size standing cabinet built for speed, style, and nostalgia.
Basic Fun! also teased that this is the first of multiple Sonic titles planned for the collection.
What to watch for
- Arcade1Up’s next era: This is Basic Fun!’s first major statement since acquiring select Arcade1Up assets in 2025—so the build quality, features, and pricing strategy will matter.
- Sonic’s pipeline: The company is calling this the first of multiple Sonic titles. If that holds, Sonic could become a recurring pillar alongside PAC-MAN.
- Retail rollout: Basic Fun! says the collection will debut at major retailers this fall, which should make availability less of a scavenger hunt for fans.
Quote
“For many years, Arcade1Up has been at the heart of the retro arcade community, and we’re honored to build on that legacy,” said Dan Westcott, Senior Vice President of Global Brand Marketing at Basic Fun!. “Our focus is simple: authentic gameplay, nostalgic design, and premium features that capture the true arcade-at-home experience for fans of all kinds. No quarters required.”
Where to see the lineup
Media, influencers, and industry partners can get a first look at the new home arcade lineup at Toy Fair®, running February 14–17 at the Javits Center in New York City.

Downtown Phoenix experienced the thunder of Formula 1 engines once again on Saturday, March 14, 2026, when the Red Bull Showrun transformed East Jefferson Street into a temporary motorsports stage. The free public event drew large crowds eager to see a real Formula 1 car perform high-speed demonstrations through the heart of the city.
The star of the event was the legendary Red Bull RB7, one of the most dominant machines in modern Formula 1 history. Fans watched as the car blasted down the temporary street course performing burnouts, donuts, and acceleration runs that echoed between downtown buildings.
A Championship Machine on City Streets
Originally driven to the 2011 Formula 1 World Championship by Sebastian Vettel, the RB7 represents a golden era for Red Bull Racing. The car is known for its aerodynamic design and remarkable performance during the 2011 season.
During the Phoenix showrun, the car was piloted by Scott Speed, a former Formula 1 competitor and experienced motorsports driver. He was joined by Nikola Tsolov, a rising talent in Red Bull’s junior driver development program.
Together, the drivers delivered a high-energy demonstration that gave spectators a rare opportunity to witness the power and precision of Formula 1 machinery up close.
A Tribute to Phoenix’s Formula 1 Legacy
The event also served as a reminder of Phoenix’s unique place in Formula 1 history. The city previously hosted the United States Grand Prix (Phoenix street circuit), which ran through downtown streets from 1989 through 1991.
During those races, fans watched legendary drivers such as Ayrton Senna compete on the challenging desert street circuit.
Although the Grand Prix eventually moved to other locations, the Red Bull Showrun brought the spirit of Formula 1 back to Phoenix for a new generation of motorsports fans.
Formula 1’s Growing U.S. Momentum
The Phoenix showrun comes at a time when Formula One is experiencing unprecedented growth in the United States. The sport now hosts three annual races in Austin, Miami, and Las Vegas.
Promotional events like the Red Bull Showrun help introduce the sport to new audiences and reconnect cities with their racing heritage.
For longtime Phoenix residents, the sound of a Formula 1 engine echoing through downtown streets was more than just a spectacle—it was a powerful reminder of the city’s motorsports past and the growing popularity of Formula 1 across America. 🏎️🔥
