Too good!!
Why wasn't I born in Japan??
I wanna live there...
Brian Ashcraft (Kotaku guy, most well-known tabloid of game-related news media) is full of shit, as usual. Space Invaders music?? Doop...... bwoop...... doop..... bwoop. That's not music, dude. But if he's contributing to the film, maybe there will be some light shed of the decline of arcades in the region. In his book, Arcade Mania, Ashcraft mentioned the noticeable decline of arcades beginning with the release of the Playstation 2 (and maybe the Dreamcast) hardware that could compete with the current arcade board hardware.
I wonder if the documentary will cover the recent arcade closures, the replacement of some games with redemption machines, and the effect of the introduction of online games have had on arcade patrons.
The trailer seems to focus on the positive aspects and nostalgia, and not the current state of .
