Japanese Quiz Show Arcade Game Confounds

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday February 24, 2004 @08:06PM from the if-you-like-pat-sajak dept.

Thanks to GameSpot for its article discussing the latest Japanese arcade games showcased at the AOU 2004 show in Tokyo, with a particular highlight, as well as an example of building a play experience unique to an arcade, being Sega's Quiz Show, which "gives the player the experience of being a contestant on an American TV quiz show." The Japanese page for the game has pictures of the massive arcade cabinet, which has players "sitting behind a colorful table, just like a real quiz show", and allows each contestant to answer trivia questions which are "randomly selected by a physical, spinning wheel that's attached to the game booth."

man, I wish arcade games in America were as cool as they are in Japan. American audiences don't seem to enjoy the crazy peripherials and gimmickry that fills the arcades of the East. I suppose there is hope that games like DDR may inspire a new generation of arcade gamers, but I'm not one to hope like that.
