Another big arcade fighter tournament is now taking place, this one the widely popular Super Battle Opera which is going on in Tokyo. Some of the games that players will be competing on include Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, Virtua Fighter 5R, King of Fighters XII, Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, Fate: Unlimited Codes, BlazBlue, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike and Arcana Heart 2. Players from all over the world compete in this tournament, which has to be quite entertaining to watch. You can find out a little more about the Super Battle Opera event by going here or here.
Ack, I’m jealous that Arcades are still so popular back in Japan. Over here in New York, I have to go all the way to China Town to play in a good arcade.
