I feel this isn't the first time I saw news like this.
What about Initial D and maimai? I care a bit about these
Bentley Lewis
Is it? Are they just closing their arcade centers or are they also killing support for their arcade games like the Miku one and the shitcolle one?
Anthony Morales
>No more Club Sega minigames in the Yakuza
rip
Owen Brown
they sold the arcades to another company. they're still going to be making arcade games as far as we know.
Angel Price
They are going out of the arcade management business, but they will still manufacture arcades and sell them to whoever wants to manage them.
Jaxson Powell
Society is collapsing.
Oliver Stewart
Oh, I see.
Brandon Howard
i honestly had no idea they were still really in the arcade business other than the few ones you see in japan which always looked like a lot of fun.
Juan Flores
Joypolis was fun. 'tis a shame.

Time to start collecting those PCB if you are into that, they are all gonna disappear eventually.

they had no choice. konami knows how to make money, sega knows how to burn it.
source? their market cap is 3.6B

Daniel Smith
I remember they announced some sort of cloud arcades.
What did happen with that?
Henry Brown
What happens if Sega of Japan never goes full retard with the Genesis? It's been obvious since the 5th console generation that arcades wouldn't survive too many decades as a mainstream thing compared to consoles/handhelds, the Saturn was supposed to be their bridge that future-proofed the company how can someone fuck up this bad? Was it all meant to go to shit the moment they rejected using SGI tech?
Levi Wright
this shit is misleading.
you just wont see sega owned gamecenters anymore but they are still making arcade games.
Aiden Edwards
it's over
Landon Wright
I think the first real domino that led to them fucking up was the 32X. That just was an absolutely horrible decision that served no purpose and led to so, SO much brain drain between systems. You either double down, and say add ons for the Genesis were what was going to carry Sega through the mid 90s (bad idea, but an idea all the same), or you focus on the Saturn, and gracefully sunset the Genesis, like any normal company would.
Julian Young
Could you actually played hang-on or any other old Sega game in Club Sega irl?
I was there but I didn't notice classic games.
Samuel Carter
Nigga Yakuza as it was is dead already
Isaiah Lewis
Feels bad man, I'm glad I live next to one of the biggest arcades in America but I hate seeing the industry get hurt hard like this.

OP, as always, is a complete faggot.
By the way since most of you are fucking Zoomers, I'd recommend trying Crazy Taxi. It's the pinnacle of Sega's arcade talents, and one of the greatest games ever made.
Ian Anderson
The arcade industry is dead outside of maybe Japan. But hey, just part of the collapse of society.
Tyler Jackson
Sony chads can't stop winning. What a joke of a company.
Charles Reyes
The most annoying thing about the 32X is that they didn't even try to make it seem worth buying, no real killer app, no great port or anything like that, nothing good that truly couldn't have been done on the Genesis, barely any advertisement for whatever was worth checking out. Easily the most soulless thing sega ever did and I feel bad for the devs that wasted their efforts and money on it in an era where porting games between systems was quite difficult.
Austin Anderson
Arent all arcade games nowadays those shitty card games dispensers
Ethan Moore
arcades are pretty much dead in japan as well.
90% of gamecenters are just filled with rhythm games and the occasional fighting game.
prize catchers as well if you want to include that.
in terms of arcades in the US, all they have is Round 1. they still update their games.
Nicholas Wilson
Arcades havent made sense since the early 00s
we can run games at home now we arent limited to crappy consoles for home play, arcade style games can still be made and sold too if yuo wanted
There is nothing to be sad about when all arcades eventually close in Japan
Gabriel Phillips
Say what you will about Knuckles Chaotix, but imagine if that energy was put into a Sonic game on the Saturn. A 1994, 1995 2D sonic game would've still worked. This was before Mario 64. Could've given the Saturn some legs.
Anthony Hill
>Arcades havent made sense since the early 00s
No, they so still make sense. It's just that they stopped being the only place to play video games for everyone.
Arcades are fantastic if you're hanging out with friends or family outside and want to play with them or show off how good you are.
And besides, it's hard to replicate some of arcade experience, especially racing and shooting games, at home because of the controls the arcades use.
David Richardson
arcades are dea-
Gavin Torres
This really sucks
Brandon Torres
Based, I live next to one of these

>all the games are shitty mobile apps on giant touch screens solely for tickets
thanks i sure do love subway surfer and fruit ninja
Jose Foster
Bar 1st, arcade a distant memory, well behind point redemption machines.
>arcades are pretty much dead in japan as well.
Pretty much this, when I went 3 years ago. Outside of the touristy areas of Nara or Akihabara it is rhythm, ufo catcher with maybe some others.
RIP Kowloon Walled City arcade in Kawasaki, too cool and well themed for this world
Colton Bennett
almost as much as Sega
Luke Turner
dave and busters was only good when they started out.
i remember going there a lot just to play derby owners club with a bunch of other drunks.
Christopher Young
I've been to Japan. Sega arcades fucking sucked. Once the Taito ones close that's something to cry about. Trust me. You aren't missing much. Even Club Sega in Shinjuku was total anus.
Jayden Thomas
Arcades started dying out in the US when they started charging more than a quarter per play.
Who the fuck would want to pay a dollar+ for less than a few minutes game time?
David Butler
Sega is pretty much dead now.
Nathaniel Parker
Arcades starting dying when they stopped giving a fuck about upkeep. They all just stole your money.
Blake Gray
>now
they've recycled the same 4 ips for a decade
Robert Anderson
Arcade stick era is over. It's Hitbox time
Bentley Miller
pretty much this.
aside from some neat rhythm games. they were literally just filled with UFO catchers and photo machines.
i guess people are still under the assumption that japanese arcades are filled with all kinds of different arcade games. yeah no, its all garbage.
Charles Parker
>go to barcade
>80% of the cabinets are absolutely beat to shit
I don't know know if it's from drunk retards beating the shit out of them or that skilled arcade repair men are rare and expensive, or a combination of both. It's fun but more a once in awhile thing. If they actaully maintained the machines well, I'd love to throw down like 50 bucks worth of quarters with some people and see if we can actaully beat gauntlet legends or something.
Brayden Lee
Sega, pls replace Sony in the hardware business...
Connor Cruz
ive worked at a barcade before and sometimes its just too expensive to maintain cabs, especially if they are the original. so if it turns on, takes money and plays, thats good enough.
the one i worked at, most of the cabs were replicas that way repairs on the outside can be fixed rather easily. some were fitted with the real hardware internally or through emulation.
Nolan Sullivan
Finally, now all they need to do is rebrand STI and rehire Mania Team to revive the game series quality again and Sonic will be officially reperfected again.
