Arcades in general are disappearing, not necessarily the 4 arcades featured in this campaign. I doubt that Arcade UFO is having much difficulty when the owner is taking trips to Japan to compete in game competitions. The promotion title is misleading.

They have some pretty cool games there although some are quite expensive like they added DJ Max Technika which is $10k+ (unless they got a sweet deal) and it's hard to get machines like that if they don't make up for it with a lot of plays.

It's like cancer in a way, they just need to figure out what to do to tackle it and find a cure only in this case they either need to buy new games, host competitions and offers, advertise more, try relocate to a cheaper location and work within their buget what they can afford while still providing great games and making a good profit. didn’t arcade UFO just open last year, man thats not good even though I don’t live in america. hopefully its just a teething problem.
