Does anyone know if the amc lowes movie theater in the waterfront still has the marvel vs capcom 2 arcade machine? I'm a bit of a nerd and love that game. I've been planning a dsy out of hitting the comic book store and wyomg a few rounds there, just wanted to make sure it was still there.

It might be different now, or I might be misremembering, but I think they had one at Victory Pointe on Carson.

Hmm... thank you. Ill look into that. There used to be a website, I can't remember it, but it tracked locations for arcade machines. I'm not a big arcader myself, honestly can't remember how I even stumbled upon it, probably marvel vs capcom, maybe I can re find it

They've got one at Victory Pointe, it's right by the Mario Kart machines in the back iirc

You can get your own cab from arcade1up or best buy for like 600$

I know I know. I know arcade machines after a certain time are just the frame and a playstation, but money and space are a thing. Just really wanted to play a few rounds as Tron, black heart and ice man. I have friends who have never played. Wanted to school them, I may just have to cave and get a ps2 if I can find a copy of the game.

You can always just use fightcade. Takes few minutes to set up but once you get it going you have everything you want for the most part. Can also just use the emulator to play locally.

I looked it up and it seems for some reason, the games are very expensive. I only looked quickly but the ps2 version was 300$. For that and the cost of a Playstation, you might as well buy a can, or use an emulator and build one....

Yah thats some change. To think there used to be an online version for ps3. Damn, I'm probably gonna go emulator then. I do want a whole set up just because I love the game that much, but that's a down the road thing.

I don't know how much emulation you do, but if you're a big fighting came person, look into fightcade. Its basically an emulator setup for fighting games that has rollback netcode and matchmaking so you can play online against randos (or with friends!). The 1up arcades that were mentioned above are cool, but imo they are very over priced for the quality and what actually comes with them (they are also weirdly small imo)

"wanna take you for a ride" Best fighting game ever IMO, I got to play rounds down in universal studios when it first came out. Before anyone knew Thanos, before people cheesed out with Hulk, wow the glory days lol

I was gonna post the theme lyrics, but I wasn't sure how many fans there were and or if I'd sound creepy. But yes I wanna take you for a ride. That game is so sweet when I'd extra get pissed off I'd go straight ice man. He was my cheerleader. Best high kicks and Best shield
