Boy... Sega sure loves to throw away money.

No no, this is an arcade - not Shenmue.

 

[doncale]

bring on Virtua Fighter 5 and Daytona USA 3

 

[evilromero]

But Sega has lots of sizable "arcades" in a few locations. Joyopolis has been around for a while. I'll be honest, I'm just not going to read that article.

Zach Morris?

Doesn't Sega actually make money off of their arcade investements in Japan? Sammy's Pachinko machines would probably be included in the amusement center also.

 

[retardboy]

EXCELLENT! I LOVE YOU SEGA!

Oh, it's that Zach Morris site again? Horrible...

Sega's doomed until they get back in the hardware business where they belong.

Hehe, that was actually pretty funny.

 

[teepo]

hooray for arcades!

 

[Kumiko Nikaido]

Build it.....and they will come.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

???? My passion wholly remains with Sega coming back to the hardware market and kicking every goddamn person in the nuts. In fact, that would be a great new arcade game.

They will probably get most of their money from Pachinko, yes. But $136,000,000 is a huge investment for just 1 arcade. They certainly aren't going to be seeing gains for a while.

Oh and all the Joypolises have been shutdown

I would buy that game.

 

[Deg]

i bet you SEGA will find some way to mess things up further for themselves. I hope not personally.

That's strange. I could've sworn I was at one not one month ago in Tokyo. And I was by another one in Osaka not long before that. Hmmm. Did something happen while I was gone for like three weeks?

Trust me, I'd love nothing more than to see Sega merge back into the hardware industry and kick the shit out of everyone else. But let's be honest, I mean, hardware is the market that drove Sega to where they are today.

Unless it happened in the last few weeks, then this isn't true. I was at Joypolis Sega in Odaiba and have pics to prove it.

And there are Club Segas EVERYWHERE.

Not unless it happened yesterday!

I don't think you are correct Mata. I was that same one yesterday as they tore it down and proceeded to build a Walmart.

The first thing on sale in the new Walmart were toy Hornets

 

[belgurdo]

Arcades are only dead in the US. They'll probably make all that back in a year

 

[cvxfreak]

Thank Sega! Help bring back the arcades to preteige!

The only company that's figured out how...every other company is either losing money or got the fuck out of the business. Not bad for a company run by monkeys.

 

[sprsk]

sega makes a SHITLOAD of money from arcades. see: initial d, virtua fighter
