It'll be interesting to see if the A&B soft kit will be priced the same as the Steam remakes.

I'm presuming the a&b is the premium launch title and the steamers :shifty: will have varying entry points . A $1000+ bucks for some of them seems a tab much. Since they are being inspired by the Mvs in a way they need to factor that and not what Cave boards were sold for !

Yeah $1800 for mainboard + game kit sounds about right, but $1000-$1500 for a **** poor remake of an already **** mobile game is going to have sales in single digits :problem:

I guess those games make sense in some markets. Especially catering to casual players in bowling alleys or shopping centres.
These don't have to be aimed at the traditional arcade players and collectors to gain footing in the market. Most operators never gave to **** if a game is good or bad they only want ROI.
If quality titles are available later on, i'll be fine.

Not to state the obvious, but this is a commercial system for operators to put on location and earn, not something aimed at home collectors. The math is different in that case.

I've got functioning eyes, I see the issues everyone else is pointing out too, some of these titles feel low rent. I'm sure they're taking anything they can get to build the catalog, it's a chicken and egg problem to launch a new system. If they can just get some units out there and even a few of these games are 'sticky' then they have a platform to build on and interest will rise. It takes time for original titles to be built, and you need a userbase to sell them to.

But if I'm an op and I pay $1000 for a $20 Steam game it's because I'm guessing I can get more than 1000 $1 coin drop plays on it. Plenty of these games are ones I'd pass up on Steam, I've got a wishlist a mile long like most people, but I'd definitely be curious enough to try if I was lucky enough to have an arcade full of Exa machines available.

Same. There are no arcades anywhere nearby so the system's never going to make any money from me but I wish it well. Maybe if an AES style "home" version of the system gets produced that played the arcade carts AND had a warranty system here in the west...

A home version of a port of a steam game :awe:

At least this is available to western markets, unlike nesica.

You are correct to point out the logic behind the prices because arcade machines are an investment item for commercial distribution and public display. Not to mention, other components, like monitor; speakers; controllers; coin slot / card reader; banners; instructions; and accessories, to build that machine and show off the unit in full glory.


As for some multiplayer titles, some of them will be quite attractive to casual crowds such as My Slam & Jam, Cosmic Digger, Nippon Marathon Hyper Turbo Running, and Lightning Knights (Iron Crypticle EXA version). A diverse lineup for launch means there is something for every place and audience possible.


Anyways, it seems that GDC is off the table this year because EXA Arcadia is getting its first set of titles ready before summer as initial launch time in Japan. I only mentioned GDC because there is plenty of untapped potential on how EXA Arcadia can be utilized on other setup types such as cocktail and multi-link to bring in new forms of experiences not found on other personal devices and consoles.

Anyways, let us look forward to the first launch party worldwide and potential future conferences that EXA Arcadia plans to attend.

This is for the operator market and not consumers, period.

If you want to buy it, there is no limitation as an individual to buy it but don’t expect it to be consumer level pricing.

No game on the platform is 100% complete, all footage is early.

For context, here are recent prices for arcade games.
Gundam Extreme VS 2 5,500,000 JPY + 9% rev share
Tekken 7 Round 2 Upgrade Kit 800,000 JPY + 36% rev share
Street Fighter V Upgrade Kit 600,000 JPY + 35% rev share

Some of our location test income numbers over 1 week:
Aka & Blue 100,000 JPY
The Kung Fu vs Karate Champ 60,000 JPY (#1 performing fighter in the whole arcade, outperforming Fighting EX Layer 10x)
On average, every game we put on test makes over 35,000 a week meaning an operator can recoup their investment in a month. That simply doesn’t happen with another platform or game.

This sounds really promising, cant wait to see what the other developers are working on.
Does the Exa hardware have mounting tabs to be able to mount it on a wooden board? (Like the Type X2.)

That's encouraging.
I hope the platform thrives and catches the eye of even more developers.
Those revenue share percentages are inane.

It's going to be interesting to see the change in the arcade landscape.
Best of luck.

That's some mic drop.

Do the games support 1080p? A&B in particular.
