Depending on your gaming tastes, you may not have seen much of the work of Toshiaki Takayama. Which is a shame, because his work is incredible.
Takayama's work in the video game field (he's contributed to anime, trading card games and books as well) has turned up in Japanese arcade titles like Lord of Vermilion, Sangokushi Taisen and Eternal Wheel, while he's also contributing to Konami's upcoming console title Neverdead.
Dissidia Final Fantasy is a good start, but there's lots more Japan-only arcade games that we'd love to see brought to the West.
I love Taiko no Tatsujin. Really hoping it comes to the West, but if it does, they need to also bring over a good quality drum so we can fully enjoy it.
Perhaps I'd be better off importing an arcade machine.
They did seem dead for the last decade or so, certainly here in England. The odd one survived in London and a few big cities, possibly a couple at seaside resorts as well. Both arcades in my town closed late nineties.
However, we just got a VR arcade and plans afoot for a big cafe bar with both retro and new cabinets. Lots of online leaderboards, events and competition nights are the way they want to try it.
It certainly seems there is a western appetite to at least make out we want arcades back but you have to worry it might be nostalgia driven and unlikely to succeed on that alone. They need kids to use them as well and I dont see many western youngsters doing the arcade thing these days. I hope Im wrong but I just dont see them getting big again unless VR in big play areas kicks off.

But there are games that manage to geniusly incorporate immortality in their protagonists, antagonists, and main characters. So here are 13 Video Game Characters That Are Immortal.
My last paycheck was $2500 for working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 8k for months now and she works about 30 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. The potential with this is endless. This is what I do >> http://tiny.cc/ww3opy
They're all immortal it's video games and if they die get reincarnated many times over lmao..

It’s no secret that half the fun of the imminently destructive Just Cause 3 is spying a location in the distance and using whatever means necessary to get there, whether it be paragliding, skydiving in a wingsuit, or hijacking a military jet with the help of an absurdly competent grappling hook. But before Just Cause 3 spurred the creation of a thousand hilarious gifs, the world of gaming had plenty of odd ways to get around. These are the weirdest means of traversal gaming has to offer.
