With the new Triforce arcade board made by Sega, Namco, and Nintendo...I was wondering if there is a chance of Nintendo returning to arcade gaming.

Sega and Namco have been making arcade games ever since they were created! So why did Nintendo suddenly stop making arcade games when the Super Nintendo came out?

Imagine, Super Smash Bros. Melee for the arcades...or even Star Fox for the arcades...or even Super Mario Kart for the arcades... The possibilities are endless!
People who like video games should also like Nintendo. People who don't like Nintendo obviously don't like video games.

Simple they get more money from games that run on systems,and it probly cost a lot of money to make gamecube games on arcade isn't it. Suppose they failed and then  Nintendo lost all that money.....

Not everyone lives right near an arcade. I'd rather be able to play the game in the comfort of my own home than to have to go out and dish out quarter after quarter just to play it on some big arcade machine that would be filled all the time anyways, since everybody loves those Nintendo arcade games.

Born To Play:

"What if everything you see is more than what you see– the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn''t? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you''''ll find many unexpected things."

All the arcades around me have got rid of their video games - they now mostly have just fruit machines. This is because they make more money - and video games don't, in arcades, any more.
