Not only in the U.S. but in the "western world" overall.

Home gaming has become more acessible, specially after the motion controls / multiplayer craze of last generation, and the visual gap between arcade and home consoles has dissapeared. Arcades also became too expensive.

In my country (Brazil) arcades are a thing of the past too. There are still a few small arcade centers in shopping malls, but those are aimed at families, they have very few games and most of them are old ones.

I really miss the days of hanging out in arcade centers.... there used to be a lot of them in my city. Today I can name only one who still survives: https://lordsdiversoes.com.br/tatuape.html It´s curious to see that many people still hang out there on weekday nights and weekends, I think most still goes there for nostalgia.

Arcade scenario in Brazil is terrible. I`m also from Brazil, Goiania especifically, and the two malls that still have arcades are terrible, they just took away any shooting arcade, they just have machines that can be played by children...
