Did SNK's official arcades feature games from other companies?
Yes, Namco games at least.
Might as well post Neo Geo Land photos.
iirc this photo was taken during the location test of KOF 96.In the lower right you can see a blurry Sega cab that is probably a New Astro City.
Sega Virtua Racing at Neo Geo Land Esaka.
Map of Neo Geo World.
Non-SNK racing game in the upper right. Wild guess is Namco Final Lap but really I have no idea.
>>12236489Peak comfy
>>12236471They had DX cabinets from other companies, yes. Sega, capcom, Namco.
>>12236730>capcomYou're sure?
>>12236682Is it me or japanese theme parks are...........diminute?
>>12236781Indoor theme park is kind of misnomer. Mini theme park would be more honest. Tokyo Joypolis, the biggest indoor theme park in Japan, is only about 2.3 acres.
>>12236784>>12236781These parks are in very dense tourist districts that have multiple indoor theme parks near each other, so guests will be able to walk from one to the other like going to different portions of an outdoor theme park.
>>12236784>>12236789My mall used to had in the early 2000s a japanese style arcade center that was small but nice looking, but this was when arcades started to die down, they had KOF2002 and its bootlegs like Crouching Tiger and KOF 10th Anniversary on big projector cabs, DDR machines and Korean rival cabs, Ticket games, big interactive cabs like House of the Dead, an F-Zero AX machine, some candy cabs with some obscure games like Joe and Mac 2, that IGS Taiwanese fighting game Martian Masters, Fucking Punching Mania Hokuto no Ken 2!........And it stuck there stuck until the late 2000s when it bombed because of Swine Flu and them gettin crappy multicabs that were using outdated mame set ups and most games didnt work or were badly integer scaled, they got i think KOF NewWave and Maximun Impact, but it was just hangin for the inevitable, it looked cool at the very least, they had some japanese ticket cabs too and even a pachinko machine, in the place were you were supposed to celebrate birthdays, but it sorta subsisted rather than being truly succesful.It was really a donut-shaped inclose area on the mall's newly made second floor at the time and below many fast food joints and even a chinese and fish restaurants, my favorite was the japanese food one, in recent years i went to visit, most of the stands are empty now, and the arcade floor is just a storage room...........
>>12236798in what part of the world?
>>12236705Those are Virtua Racing twin cabinets. I see they did not splurge for the live view monitors that sat on top.
I don't know, do some research instead of asking /vr/ like it's chatgpt or grok or something.
>>12236489Is that cab style something uniquely Japanese (the cabs toeard the front of the photo)? I've seen it on my Capcom arcade classics collection and thought it was proprietary to capcom. US snk cabs were taller whenever I played on them growing up
neo geo? more like old geo, amirite?
>>12237324Candy cabs are a thing that only really stuck to Japan. US stuck with wooden shit and only really evolved to weird ass monstrosities that raw thrills occasionally puts out... or weird ass tables connected to an LCD.
>>12237341Thanks for the info anon

>>12237316OP clearly samefagged the thread and answered their own question.
>>12236471I really need to get off internet dor awhile. I glanced at thumbnail and thought it said 'Negro World'
>>12237431
>>12238206Just go outside to get that.
>>12236752Pretty sure. I distinctly remember a few 3p cabinets. If I"m wrong, then they still had capcom kits on candy cabs.
>>12237324>>12237341Pretty much. The joysticks and buttons are also different on US vs Japan. See the dude asking for joystick help to see the differences. Pic related for current "generic japan" and "generic USA" cabinets.
>>12237324>Is that cab style something uniquely JapaneseNo, there were similar styles in Taiwan, South Korea, China, and other parts of Asia. Australia and Italy had wooden versions of sit-down cabs that had similar form factor.
Although Neo Geo World is gone, it seems indoor theme parks are more common than ever.
>>12236471Pretty good article about this era.https://www.theparkdb.com/blog/japanesethemeparkbubble/
>>12238695The one in my city, Malibu Jacks, is bigger than Tokyo Joypolis, and it's not even famous.
