To really complete the illusion, they should put an exclamation mark up top.

From what I come to understand, it's a place that was once thriving in ancient times now only to be used as a place where homeless people sleep.

Arcade? What you mean like Xbox live arcade? I don't understand what you're talking about.

It's those huge cabinets at the front of liquor stores and delis.

No, Arcades were once magical places where all the great video games lived: The Simpsons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Cruisn', Captain Bucky O'Hare, Outrun, Daytona USA and Hydro Thunder, just to name a few.

A place where a kid could go after school and spend his money on these great games, instead of on lunch and not be bother with the responsibilities of homework or doing the dishes.

That was, of course, until the dreaded Dance Dance Revolution came along.

Now, Arcades are only havens smelly, greasy and idiotic teens to hang out out while they sweat profusely...increasing their stench and their drain on society.

Historical documents indicate arcades were temples built in the last millennium where youths offered gifts, in the form of small metal discs, to scores of monolithic idols which functioned as emissaries of such gods as Atari (God of Fujis), Konami (God of Track and Field), and Williams (God of Defenders). After their daily education periods, the youths were required to attend services at the arcades and make offerings through the idols, using what was called "lunch money" (sources indicate the name is a misnomer, as it was never used for lunch, instead either being sacrificed at the temples or being stolen by others for their sacrifices at the temples). The exact cause of the fall of arcades from prominence is unclear, but some historians believe the Tunguska and Chernobyl incidents during the same century may have wiped out the arcades. However, this theory is under debate, as the original source of the allegation may have been VGChartz.

I'd say it's an odd choice to have everything aim sharply to the left, but I can relate, so it's cool.

Oh, do you aim sharply to the left in the real world?

faceman, he's referring to the fact that the tracker is mounted on the left side of the glasses.

I doubt it'll be a problem though as I'm sure the tracker is adjusted to focus towards the center of your vision regarless of it's placement.

Credit cards or 5 dollar bills. Arcades aren't cheap, you know. You have to buy two Gamecubes, duct tape them together and put them in a huge wooden box.

GROSS! Why the hell would I put on a set of goggles (or whatever you want to call it) after some fat, sweaty kids have been using it! I don't know what diseases have graced those goggles before me...

This is pretty awesome. I really can't wait for something similar to home. The day I can aim with a gun instead of analog stick in competitive multiplayer can't come soon enough.

But isn't it gonna be a little weird to play a game from a 3rd person perspective like this? I prefer 3rd person to 1st in almost any circumstance, except maybe this. Who knows...

Please pull this off Konami!

Something similar to this could have been done two years ago for the Wii. However, the developers for that system have been woefully unimaginative, and as a result, it hasn't lived up to expectations.

I think it'll be like having my head on some sort of gimbal that exaggerates my movement. But it will help new players with a tendency to end up facing either the floor or the ceiling.
