There are games like THIS that actually exist. So, my question is simple enough. How long has it been since you went to an arcade? Myself? Probably going on 3 years now. Part of it is the fact that arcades are shutting down left and right. Part of it is the few arcades I find myself in proximity to (the ones you see inside movie theaters for example) have NOTHING NEW. Every game is at least 5 years old, if not a LOT more, with "classics" like Time Crisis 1 and Mortal Kombat 3 sitting around.
So hey, Nintendo might release a Mario Kart game for the arcade with Pacman in it, but if I never once see the thing what good is it?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
