Tokyo Arcade Tour
Today's arcades have found a niche in games that use special controllers largely inaccessible to home users. An alternative interpretation(one which includes fighting games, which continue to thrive and require no special controller) is that the arcade game is now a more socially-oriented hangout, with games that focus on an individual's performance, rather than the game's content, as the primary form of novelty[via Wikipedia]
