[Arcade] Arcades: Now & Then

I don't agree that arcades are dying in japan. They have key arcades which are booming more than ever now with Arcana Heart 2, Street Fighter 4 along with the rest of the fighting games. Japan is the one place where arcades will be booming where no place else will.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well arcades may be slowing down of course, but their definitely not going to die like they around most of the U.S.

That article says namco wants to close 50 or 60 arcades and sammy wants to close about 100.....FIFTY or SIXTY...or ONE HUNDRED? And theyll still be making money in their key locations that arent closing.

How many successful arcades are in the U.S.? Barely any. In fact, I believe all Namco arcades have closed in the U.S. if not, must be a few only.

I live in Chicago, where they had about 5 or 6 namco arcades, all in malls, and they all closed down. The last one that was to go was supposed to stay but the mall wouldnt allow it because of the people it attracted. Stupid reasons.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah whatever you say there rotor...Point is, Japan will always have a great arcade scene compared to the U.S.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
