actually the american arcades died cause of the bad games coming out and having to pay more for the one time play of the game. like it takes a buck to drive a car game and the same went for alot ofthe other stuff there too. and as this was all happening the consoles started taking off cause of the cheap games you could get. what the arcade has that the home consoles dont have was better competition and getting to know them better and making them your best buds. take mortal kombat 2 for example. me and my buddy would go to an arcade that was also a putt putt and go cart track but everyone knew us there cause we were good at mk2 and would help out buying pizza etc etc. when mk3 came out the same guys were there but when mk4 came out it started the same but as the game started showing it wasnt even close to being as good as mk2 or 3 for tha tmatter everyone started leaving and not came back. when SF3 came out the arcade was about dead and that is mainly why capcom was like no more. but the arcade lived by the fighting game and died by the same type game. i think if the fighting genre ever mad ea comeback it would have to start with online and with simplier gameplay and mechanics. no more push button combos. that killed the genre.
