As cool as it looks, I have to wonder why they're releasing it in American arcades. I can't speak for everyone here, but I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a video arcade still in business.

I've seen them around. They're usually part of something else now a days, mostly in places like Boondocks, Chuck E Cheeses, etc., and sometimes smaller ones in indie restaurants, malls and some stores.

Anyway, that actually looks pretty cool!

Lots of large movie theaters (more than 8 screens) have an arcade. I could see it working well there.

Aw yeah I forgot about that! (I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere)

Yeah, I would've mentioned that, too but I forgot their name.

I actually didn't know that. Like commanderawesome, I'm from a small town. I don't think I've ever been to a theater with more than 8 screens, come to think of it.
