#Arcade #BandaiNamco #Arcade1Up

In this week’s episode of Discuss, we take a look at the resurgence of a beloved form of video game entertainment and what its revival means for gamers and non-gamers alike. I’m of course talking about the Arcade!

While the Arcades in the US had begun to drift into the murky depths that imprison Blockbuster and Radio Shack, it doesn’t mean they went away for good. The home console space and its adoption of online play made for a more enticing experience than leaving the house with a pocket full of quarters. Many local arcades began to close up shop and resell their cabinets to collectors or to other arcades that needed replacements for their own broken cabinets.

As the waves of nostalgia took over many people's imaginations and motivations, we started to see a change in the arcade market. Cabinets became even more expensive to purchase, so for one to play arcade classics it became a slight challenge. However, the idea to make your own using nothing more than a cheap $35 PC took off and soon everyone who wanted an arcade of their own in their own home could make it happen. And the industry took notice. Companies now sell build-it-yourself flat pack arcade cabinets, and adoption of new arcade titles and ideas brought both old and new back into the floors of the arcades we knew and loved.
