Hey guys, the support is extremely appreciated but the thread title is deceiving. Arcade UFO has no plans to purchase a IIDX machine; not because we don't want to, but because there is no room to actually put the game in our arcade. To be honest, we'd have to get rid of multiple more profitable machines to make room for IIDX (which statiscally doesn't make that much money) and there's no possible way to justify that in our current location.
$25,000 can help us improve a lot of things at Arcade UFO. A few of the suggestions we're putting heavy consideration into are:
- A sound/amplification system for music on slower days and announcements on busy days
- HDTVs mounted on the walls to project popular titles for easy viewing (SF4, Gundam, etc)
- A newer Pop'n Music cabinet/revision
- A fully covered balcony upgrade
- Machine upgrades for our most popular titles: Gundam (Destiny -> Next), SF4 (SSF4), Blazblue: CS
These are all things that we'd like to or already intended to do, but might not be able to for a much longer time without a stimulus. If we're able to pull through and win the Stride contest, I can confidently say we'd be able to implement ALL of these improvements by the end of February 2010.
Again thanks for the support, and everyone's help in the final stretch is dually appreciated! |
