I own a video game store in Northwest Ohio called GAMER and recently got approached by a friend that had a couple arcade machines at a local college they ask him to move. I got a call asking me if he could set them in my store and profit share, of course I said yes and so he has been bringing them over the last couple weeks. All this sparked my interest again into arcade gaming and so I bought a SF2 cabinet from a private seller. The games have been doing pretty good for not advertising we have them but I'm wondering about taking things a step further and starting an arcade but everyone that I deal with here in Ohio says "It's a dead industry, don't get into it!" So I figured why not ask where I would get better opinions!!!
We currently have SF2, Tekken 5, ITG 3, Guitar Freaks, KI, Point Blank and Technika 3. I have an investor that has helped me build my business thats kicking around the idea to stake me in this endeavor, I'm looking into SF4, DDR, Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, Touch FX (Fruit Ninja) and various others to start with. My question to you guys is, do you think there is still interest in this to support an arcade? I know our mall arcade went out as soon as they pulled everything out except ddr and redemption machines, would an arcade be able to exist with exotic games like SF4 and Touch FX? I appreciate anyones opinion on the matter!!!
Thanks,
Ryan
