(Culture lol)

This is mostly to serve my own nonsense desire to post about new Japanese arcade games no one cares about, but would there be any interest in this? I'm thinking it would be useful / interesting for a few things:

- New arcade games releases / news / ports / whatever (this might be more Japanese focussed)
- Arcade openings / closings, new game pickups, events, etc. (this would have more worldwide interest as there are still handfuls of active arcades in lots of places)
- This might tie in with the above point, but some more specific info / advice either about locations or game specifics? ("I'm visiting _____ this weekend, anything close-by?" "How do I register this konami e-muse pass in Japan?" etc.)

Anyway this shouldn't be the thread but just gauging interest. For some images so it's not completely boring:

Groove Coaster (the iOS otoge) came out in arcades sort of recently. I think it's pretty fun but it made me finally get a Nesica card so my wallet is now bigger

Also since EXVS Full Boost's PS3 port is coming out really soon, here is the audience on Friday night:

RIP. Used to be lineups!

I honestly wouldn't be that interested. But that's just me.

I don't think most people would, that's why I'm trying to see if any significant number of people would be!

Doesn't look like it ( ≖‿&#8790

Just do it. Make the thread. Either it'll disappear or not -- a better way of gauging interest that making a pre-thread thread.

I haven't been inside an actual traditional arcade in many years, they all are gone around where I live.

Don't really play arcade music games, until Dance Evolution Arcade came out. Screw music games where you just remember note charts XD.
Though I also play Taiko and Music GunGun.

I also played some Gunslinger Stratos the previous time I was in Japan (near the closing time when people were gone). Really interesting game and controls.

I used to really enjoy playing in arcades, it's a shame there aren't many of them around any more.

I think it'd be cool. Particularly the stuff about arcade locations.

Talking of which, anyone know of any traditional arcades in London (UK)?

I'm reading Arcade Mania right now so yes I'd like an OT on this.

My self-esteem has already been shattered by too many unsuccessful threads ( ≖‿&#8790

But looks like there might be some interest so ok.
