New products in arcade games still need new development space | dinibao

 The popularity of arcade games is so high that it has been authoritatively covered by many netizens’ websites and corporate websites. Factions such as arcade game heroes, multi-arcade simulator (MAME) fans, and combat and driving simulation games are legendary and continue to develop rapidly.

Although the arcade game is a retro style game, it is very easy to dismiss the nostalgia of arcade games for many users in the game scene, but it is no longer a viable or operational field. This idea has recently encountered controversy: people are in the midst of a new development in this so-called "dead" market.

The reality is that although consumer games have rapidly developed into a multi-billion dollar field that people know and love, the arcade game field has also changed-it has quickly developed into a field of interest to some user game publishing companies and players. .

The shape of the arcade game market today

Many people still call it an "arcade game" business that hasn't seen any significant scale for more than 20 years-the areas covered by this feature are video entertainment and public areas (also known as interactive entertainment outside the digital home).

The old wooden black box arcade cabinets were stuffed into retail enterprises and were called "arcade games." Modern industry puts the latest special amusement facilities in many people’s venues, from retail, badminton management centers, home entertainment clubs, Cinema chains, hotel restaurants, theme parks and airports. Now it is not an existence that provides independence, but a compliment to the main activities of the facility.

In North America, this type of product placement also includes a family entertainment area (FEC), ranging in size from 15 thousand to 200 thousand square feet, with mixed leisure and entertainment, such as badminton, laser tower, mini golf, go-karting, redemption and leisure entertainment in one Under the eaves, there are 200 to 400 machines. Some of these aspects include focusing on intensively experiencing facilities such as the tennis hall, the light gun arena, and the game video room.

The amusement room contains independent leisure and entertainment clubs, but it is also integrated with current places, such as hotels, leisure resorts and other recreational attractions. This type of venue is the closest to the typical "arcade game"-style amusement room, but it has now been reduced from 10,000 venues in the heyday of arcade games to about 3,000 venues in the United States.

Another type of venue is the Urban Location Entertainment District (LBE), which contains the so-called Adult Entertainment Management Center (AEC). It has more than 46 venues, each of which is mixed with restaurants and bars shells with redemption midway, gaming entertainment and specialized attractions, which is the best description. Such facilities range from 30 thousand to 50 thousand square feet, often with about 450 machines.

This type of website was developed as a leisure and entertainment anchor, located in the home of a shopping mall, and deployed as an independent place. This is on par with the rapid development of shopping plazas into retail entertainment districts (REC). The management center provides leisure and entertainment clubs for shopping plazas with high pedestrian traffic.

New trends include the re-application of amusement rooms in new venues (such as truck stations and airports), and educational recreation (using interactive entertainment to provide educational experiences, including outdoor games) is related to the prevention of childhood obesity through physical game testing. All of these have opened up new opportunities for R&D project management.
