Dave and what? Never heard of it.
Anyway, I'm just surprised there are still new arcade games being made, it seems. That Mario Kart game was released last year. They don't advertise them, and almost no one I know goes to the arcade, and the few times I've been in an arcadian atmosphere, there's nothing new at all anyway. As such, I only hear about them through a stray link on some unrelated web page and am surprised.
The worst is, for example, F-Zero AC has a lot of stuff it can unlock in the home version through it's memory card port, but of course that requires actually having access to the arcade version. They shouldn't do stuff like that.
Anyway, the arcade isn't dead, yet, but I think the only thing keeping the idea alive is children's parties.

"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)
