Arcade Trolling

Well, I've supposedly found an arcade that has Blazblue: Calamity Trigger and is closer then the one my friend suggested to me. Puente Hill Mall apparently. But as a last ditch thing, I trolled a bunch of my local arcades to see what's new in town.

Imagine my surprise when I see SFIV arcade machines in my local mall, the Asian Garden Mall. I used to think that being run by Vietnamese people, it wouldn't be on the cutting edge of gaming, but there it was, freshly imported with Taito card readers and everything. Not only impressive for just being there, but also impressive because I've read it's technically illegal to import these particular machines.

My local movie theater at Bella Terra also has the latest in shooters, Time Crisis 4 and House of the Dead 4, hard to find in many places, along with a little known Mario x Namco Kart Racing game (yup, play as Pac-Man, racing in a go-kart).

So if you've been surprised by recent additions to your arcade, drop me a line. Let's all keep the arcade zombie up as long as we can!
