...IN JAPAN
A sort of fitting way to test out the latest Mario & Sonic crossover--and another BIG dose of Olympic-sized mini game madness. The LATEST Olympic Games in 2016, getting a dose of Nintendo and Sega characters, will be tested in arcades in Japan.
It was already tested at two BIG arcades in Japan, both ran by Sega--Club SEGA Akihabara and SEGA World Kasai between July 17th and July 20th.
Eventually it'll be for play across several other Arcades in Japan(a country that hasn't abandoned it's video gaming roots, unlike most of the rest of the world).
---a Fitting way? Yes, because if you know your gaming history, BOTH Sega(originally founded in the US) and Nintendo got their starts in what became "video gaming" by manufacturing early coin-op machines and other early forms of Arcade gaming in the 60's and 70's.
Would YOU want an Arcade version HERE in the States??
We HAVE had a few recent Nintendo Arcade games here, including Mario Kart Arcade GP and F-Zero GP.
