This presupposes that arcades will be willing to provide network connectivity. <p>-----

In Japan? Come ON, man. <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television. It is a secret you have yet to grasp, although the first syllable has been spoken in a dream you cannot quite recall." --Unknown Armies</span></p>

In Japan, Arcades ALREADY have network connectivity. See Guilty Gear Isuka. >:{
