What is the best arcade games for you and why?

[Anthony342]

Do they even have arcade video games anymore? The only ones I see are remnants from over a decade ago; I haven't seen any new video arcade games. I went to a Dave and Busters a few years ago and I had no clue what any of those arcade games were. I feel like arcade games are dying over in Japan too, I remember reading that the building SEGA dedicated for their arcades, SEGA decided to not renew their contract or lease or something.

They do, but the better ones are few and far between these days. Most now are usually some kind of huge screen first person shooter, some game where you have to time button presses to motion capture buttons ala Dance Dance Revolution type games or just ones where you win tickets. You'll just occasionally get a good new shooter, sports title or brawler these days. A few years ago, I saw a new Ninja Turtles game at a skating rink.

I play Super Mario until now the best arcade games for me.

agreed... i miss the old video games.. it's so much easier to play.... i played call of duty once and got a headache from it.

Spawn in The Deamons hand but only if 4 individual cabinets linked. 4 man deathmatch was some of the best times in an arcade

Powerstone 2 or Marvel vs Capcom 2 for fighting

Beat mania for music

Initial D 7 or Daytona USA for racing
