when it got to the point where the graphics were the same or better than the arcade (time crisis anyone) then people were like why the fukk would I keep traveling, maybe waiting in line, and tossing money for lives when I could just play this in the comfort of my own home at the cost of one upfront fee.

That being said, I wouldn't mind having some arcade games in my game room just to have the arcade feel.

Arcades are currently dying in Japan and Korea as well

I blame it on the popularity of multiplayer , arcades is where u went to prove your skills vs others. Now you just sign online play some ppl, look at leader boards, collect achievements.

This is the real reason right here, once consoles caught up in graphics it was over.

I miss the arcade environment, though ...

There's nothing like feeding off people's reactions when you're whooping ass or sending someone away with their tail tucked between their legs

And all the people crowding around the machine trying to see what's happening

This dude was spending like 30 dollars to beat this other guy in MK3. He was getting dominated by Cyrax every time. Then he got pissed after losing for the 30th time and came back with a gun and held the dude up

They're dying everywhere.

Why spend the gas/money to go to an arcade when you can get the same/better graphics on a home console and play online? It's just not a good deal anymore.
