Nah the gaming world is good where it is now. In my living room. Used to be sick of sinking coins into machines owned by stingy old men. 
on the same token (lol) you'd be surprised how much money can be made with folks playing Time Crisis type stuff or Wii Games type stuff. Especially if you introduce intoxicants and date nights.
Most places got it wrong, cause they were doing games with quiz type themes

Probably not. It will appeal to Generation X and older millennials since we grew up on arcades in the 80s and 90s but for younger millennials and Gen Z? Naw.
Barcade in Brooklyn is dope AF. Cheap, strong drinks and beer.
Washing folks in Street Fighter II will always be a good time.
Indeed, people who are questioning this formula of old school arcade games in a bar are missing out.

Arcade gaming is popular but you have to bring in a lot of money to offset the maintenance costs and the cost of the cabinets themselves. But there are still retro arcades in NJ that do pretty solid business.
zero latency is waaay different than traditional arcades. It’s a free roam VR experience in a 2000 sq ft room, one of the dopest things I’ve done anywhere. I tried it at Joypolis in Tokyo twice…but they have Zero latency at MGM Vegas and a few other spots in the US
It’s $50/30 mins

There are actually a lot of bowling alleys and movie theaters with great arcades. Most of the games are old machines that the owners preserved tho.
But yeah, the days of casually finding great arcades in grocery stores, laundromats and malls are over

I remember being a kid and thinking if I could just get a job making $5 an hour I could have enough quarters to beat the X-Men and TMNT arcade game solo after 2 paychecks

Getting a small or big group together to play VR games like this looks like it would be crazy
