Sounds awesome but a shame arcades are dead in the US. We all knew the MS stuff was BS but these announcements are meh as fuck. The micro Game Gear or whatever with only four games for each model, yuck.

Arcades are dead everywhere except Japan. This does nothing to resurrect them and maybe only helps save them in Japan. Sure you have Dave and Busters and Putt Putt Golf locations that have arcades but since the late 90s (when home consoles started catching up to arcade machines) no one here gives a shit about arcades in the USA. Dave and Busters sucks because you never know what you are spending because of their in store credits unless you do the math. Frankly I hope Dave and Busters goes out of business with the covid crisis.

Well that reporter who hyped it up, pretty sure his credibility is irreparably non existent
They are makeing a cloud streaming service for japanese arcades ?
And they have mini pocket gameing devices with 4 games on each?
Lmao.... this is so sad, its almost depressing.
That journalist buildt hype levels up waaaaaaaaaay to high.
So I was right(mostly):
1. New Arcade tech
2. Not Sega x MS
3. Game Gear Mini mot big announcement

- yes, "Fog Gaming" is the "scoop"
- Sega will use arcades in Japan as the technical backbone
- CPUs and GPUs housed in arcade machines are mentioned specifically
- ultra-low latency is touted
- commercial idea is to use arcades outside business hours https://t.co/LWOiYuDAYj
Lame and dumb but I did predict it could be arcade related so there we go. I love arcades but this is dumb.
Last edited by Leynos - on 03 June 2020It's a cool idea. Won't really have any impact in America and it was vastly overhyped... but a good idea.
But so many arcade games depend on specific and unique control inputs.
