My local pizza shop still has their original Galaxian machine...
I'm sure in 6 years time DAAAAAYYYYTTTOOOONNNAAA will still be around.

Pizza Perfection is the fucking best.

More importantly, how was an arcade still in business?

They still exist, but they need to be situated around complementary businesses, like Cinemas or bigger Malls (usually with ~2hr 'lockins', so parental units can dechild before shopping)

more importantly
someone post the copypasta

The Marvel vs Capcom 2 machine at my local movie theater died recently. It's getting really hard to find working fighting game machines.

I almost had the chance to buy a Neo Geo cab once. Couldn't get a truck to move it sadly.

It's always going to get like that in time (especially for newer 90s onwards units where it's not so easy to just repair the damn thing if you have the skill), it's old out-of-manufacture equipment.

However, the reason why it's become so hard in the last few years: Man Caves.

I know an arcade that exists and is popular.
Their secret: all their machines charge nickels instead of quarters.
I don't understand why other arcades don't try this.

Probably because it's not the reason why that particular arcade is still in business. If it's in a shitty location with little foot traffic and high rents, charing five cents per credit won't be enough to turn a profit after expenses. Cover charge for Free Play is a better concept anyway.

Redondo Beach Fun Factory on the pier opened in 1972 it's getting torn down soon if not already :(

Note the original PONG on the far right.

I remember a few years back when the new sort of arcades started appearing, with consoles and pcs hooked up to play instead of old outdated arcade games.
They all just died out it seems in my city, probably couldn't keep people interested.

>Ralph, a character living in an arcade for his entire life, refers to an arcade cabinet as a "game console"
I hope the sequel turns out okay

t's about outdated internet memes *holds up spork*

It's going to be shit

Abandon hope, user,
"They're gonna wreck it!"

>Taking place six years following the events of the first film, the story will center on Ralph's adventures in the Internet data space when a Wi-Fi router gets plugged into the arcade as he must find a replacement part to fix Sugar Rush. Along the way, Ralph and his best friend Vanellope von Schweetz encounter new customs, worlds, and characters, such as the trendy algorithm Yesss and even the Disney Princesses
Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

>I hope the sequel turns out okay

Me too.
Albeit, at least they can't really do anything wrong to the original like ruining the characters inherent to it or something.

The focus on the internet and shit is kind of weird given it's supposed to be about games, not websites.

>and even the Disney Princesses

well fuck

...

I am bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad.

There's no one I'd rather be than me.

will they encounter lootboxes

>first movie lovingly parodied video game history
>second movie is a soulless endorsement of internet blogosphere consumerism

holy shit kill me.

Just re-watch the original.

>C-3PO, R2-D2, Yoda and Princess Leia from Star Wars, and Iron Man and Gamora from Marvel Comics, will appear in the film as well

I miss being 12 when I saw this
I'm 18 now

Seriously, who gives a fuck about these idiots?
Unless they trash licensed vidya or make a Disney vs Marvel vs Capcom, it makes no sense at all.
Heck, depending on which princesses they get in there, there's a chance some of them have never been featured in a video game.

I want Mario, Doom Guy, Kane, Peons, quad damage, James Bond, Cloud and other such staples of early internet vidya and their contemporaries.

mario's getting an actual cameo this time apparently. not like that will save this trainwreck

why does every fucking arcade have a Pac-Man machine?

some are still operational without maintenance, but a lot of cabinets are maintained to keep they alive after some fucks beat the shit out of it.

>Emoji movie now exists

this movie now is gonna get rewritten.

We have one at the local Gameworks

Japanese domination, man. You can't fight the samurai.
There's tons of them, they're readily available and generally the first thing people associate with an arcade.

>why does every fucking arcade have the most recognizable arcade game?

>why does every arcade have Pac-Man
>arguably the greatest and most well-known arcade game ever made?

Gee, I wonder why

>encounter new customs, worlds, and characters
A-are we going to be the bad guys? Forchun the Villain?

There's PornHub in the promotional art.
I don't care, I want vidya. Fun vidya enjoyable for people out of the loop, like the first thing was.
If people I watch it with end with a confused look because they don't understand English internet memes, I'll definitely not be happy about it.

>tfw I actually played super pac-man for the first time a few months ago in an arcade I'm 30 and have no excuse for not playing it any other way before
>it's actually decently challenging
Fuck.
I think I'll try Pac and Pal next.

>Along the way, Ralph and his best friend Vanellope von Schweetz encounter new customs, worlds, and characters, such as the trendy algorithm Yesss and even the Disney Princesses

So basically The Emoji movie.

If it's done by the same writer, there's still hope they'll not pull that shit for most of the movie. The guy was pushing for the first movie for far too long to just bend over and accept some random dicking of the franchise.

So he discovers Disney Princess porn?

Why does an old 80s arcade cabinet have a WiFi port?

>There's PornHub in the promotional art.
im calling bait until i see it

Something ive wondered is if umplugging the game resets everything,what happens if theres a power outage?

how could any self respecting video game fan like wreck it ralph? i can't lie, i enjoyed it, but it's all so dishonest, just using our love to sell us on some disney shit, and using an ugly character like ralph as their trojan horse stamp/mark on video gaming. same goes for scott pilgrim

see you fucking retard.
However, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a parody of github (despite the "lub"/love factor).

>Ralph enters the internet
Nope. There are already red flags.
>Forcing MCU-tier shit with ALL of the Disney Princesses, Marvel and Star Wars characters
>Tumblr character called YESSS
You know that an anthropomorphic red pill will be the villain. Get prepared for November 2018.

>Frozen shit ruining Disney further

cute af i can almost smell the stale cheese and bo from here

>see Ms Pac Man machine
>put in coin, start game
>immediately discover it's not speed hacked
>walk away without playing a moment longer
I just can't do it.

>fix it felix jr
>in Donkey Kong jr Mario is the bad guy

was Ralph actually the good guy in the original fix it felix game?
