nah son, fuckin G gundam.
Now I too can get in the robot. Also a G Gundam VR game would be fucking sick! So is this only in Japan, or is there a plan for a branch westward?

At most their biggest profit from video games in the west is from mobile and publishing console games.

There are several arcades along a boardwalk in the Outer Banks that contain many new and old games over the years. They are only open in the summer and fall which could explain why they stay in business without doing too much. I'd say the arcade craze is still around, we just need to advertise them better like we advertise console games and get more people interested in these new machines that could pull in tons of revenue on summer break.
If this came to be worldwide, I could see it as a way to bridge the gap between making VR more accessible and having affordable home console VR. I've always wanted for there to be a large interest in visiting video arcades again. Also first person VR Mario Kart. Holy shit.
This is neat, but I wonder how they are gonna deal with sanitation.

how much fan service do I get with Misato?
VR cafe's seem to be doing pretty okay by the way in the west. Definitely needs more publicity but i know of one in Prague that seems to get a few reservations every day, IMAX is also starting with VR halls in America. [url]http://imaxvr.imax.com/[/url]
