TO SEAN:
Below is basiclly what were trying to do with the arcade and basiclly the key titles we plan to have and run.
I like to take the time to announce something that some of you already know and some may not know. For the last month or so I been working with a financial partner in securing the capital and start up funds needed to start a business. Well today I like to let all the players know that the business I am trying to start is an ARCADE.
WE OPEN JUNE 1st
LOCATED next to PILL BOX in wailae avenue.
Next to Yoga Therapy.
As for the arcade this is some of things were trying to do and accomplish with it.
1. Carry all the latest Capcom fighting games and popular titles.
2. We will use big screen CVS2 and MVC2 cabinets and have convex buttons and perfect controls.
3. To offer the gamer a comfortable environment and a friendly place.
4. Carry older Vintage titles such as the original Sf2, Simpson’s, Xmen, Pac Man, classic fighters like ALPHA 2, Xmen vs. SF etc,etc.
5. Have chairs and air conditioning and a clean bathroom for all our players.
6. Run weekly or bi weekly tournaments for our players.
7. Have a TV set up in the arcade for players to bring home consoles and DVDs to watch or play.
8. Cheap flat fee for gamers and comfortable hours.
Basically the goal of the arcade is to cater mostly to the hardcore gamers and Street Fighter and Marvel based players. We plan to do lots of cool promotions etc, etc. We got a hold of a DDR 7th mix and plan to run it.
Our pricing plans look to be this.
Sun-Mon-Tues-Wend-Thurs= $5 dollar cover charge for the whole day all games in the arcade on free play.
Fri-Sat= $10 dollar cover charge all games are on free play the entire full day.
Weekly= $30 dollars for the entire week. Sun-Fri
Monthly= $100 dollars for an entire month of free play.
So roughly speaking if you know you go to the arcades a lot the monthly would be the cheapest option saving you a lot of money in the long term of the month. The weekly would be good if u know you can only go on certain weeks. And daily if your only free on Fri and Saturdays or other days during the week.
We plan to run around 4 big screens or 5 depending on the space we have and 3 smaller cabinets.
We have been buying up boards like Simpson’s, Punisher, Aliens vs. Predator, NBA Jam, Metal Slugs, Pocket Fighters, Gem Fighter, and Magic Drop.
Also fighters like Killer Instinct 1, 2, Mortal Kombat 1,2,3,4. Xmen vs. SF, Marvel Super Heroes, Primal Rage, Alpha 1, 2, 3. Dark stalkers 1, 3, King of fighters 98. Samurai Showdown 1,2,3,4.
Also the very popular Street Fighter 3 Third Strike.
The marquee games will be Capcom vs. Snk 2, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, King of Fighters 2001 and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Metal Slugs 4.
We will use the remaining spare cabinets and alternate games in them on player’s request.
The arcade hours will be 10 am till 12 am daily but…. If players are willing to stay later I will close when folks are done with there games.
Basiclly the other games we are in the last minute hunt for are below.
