Wii buries Namco-Bandai arcades
Namco-Bandai has announced it will be closing 50 of its video games arcades in
Yuji Machida, spokesman for the Japanese company said that this measure comes as a response to the low interest Japanese have for arcades, ever since the Wii was launched. Now people can play arcade games in the comfort of their own homes, thanks to the console’s innovative control system. The Wiimote can be use as the arcade classic light gun, while others peripherals like the Balance Board really make everything possible on the Wii.
Another cause the closing of the arcades is the growing price of petrol, many people choose to save money by cutting back on long drives to shopping centers.
