This just sounds like you're bragging in a very successful attempt at being an asshole.
I understand that's how a retard would see it.
It was a tongue-in-cheek response to some fangirl saying that "the Wii is a better console than the 360". I can't stand fangirls.
Actually that's really what people the complete opposite of retarded would see it.
If you want to insult something specific don't cast such a wide net, because not only does that undermine your point, it makes you look like an elitist asshole.

HEY is alright, but there are much better arcades in Japan, as has been discussed many times here. Few of the top players play at HEY as well (SWY, ISO, WIZ, RAM, etc never play there). Personally I'd take my modest home arcade setup and Cave PCBs over a smoky, noisy arcade like HEY any day. Not to mention I don't need to fly to Japan or pay 100 yen a pop to play the games.

Game prices in Tokyo are terrible (for the most part).
From experience with people I deal with in Japan, go either up North or the South Japan for games.
I herd Osaka prices tends to be good.
I can also think you can apply this rule to arcades as well.

Opps on spelling.
About Osaka prices, yeah I herd the games are a lot cheaper than in Tokyo.
Super Potato in Tokyo is a rip-off compare to the Super Potato in Osaka.
Hell I just got a huge Megadrive lot from Japan and the person who had gotten the games from me did the searching in Northern Japan. After getting Alien Soldier complete for $95 I just say damn.

Nah, that's bull. As has been discussed many times on 2ch, the best arcade in Japan is the one two blocks away from where I used to live in Kanda. All the top players hang out there, and of course they never mention that to anyone except me (cause we are friends) because they don't want tourists like EOJ to mess everything up.

Word.
That's the funniest thing I've read all day. Thanks for the chuckle.
PS: To give one example, Gamebox Q2 is in Nagoya, where I used to live. That's the only place where RAM, Galford, and some other WR holders play. Of course you'd know that if you knew anything about the top scorers in Japan.
They probably keep him around because he carries their bags. Then they have a good laugh when he tries to play a game and comes up with some crappy ass score. I can see the entertainment value in that.

Every thread should be locked. It is always good to deny 3000 people access, because 2 people are flaming each other. That's fair. I think threads should only be locked when rules are broken, like offering illegal stuff are talking about modding your console or anything else the games manuafacterers do not want us to talk about. But 2 when 2 people are fighting, you give them a warning that if they can't keep it cool that they will be banned. I will probably be banned for gifing this advice. Please kill the messenger.

D as the voice of reason. I'm enjoying that. Locking = last resort.
Its about time the Raiden Fighters series got a home console release. Sucks that its probably going to be region locked to jp. Maybe UFO interactive or some other US publisher will pick it up.

I've never seen any US-based publisher bring any import online games to US online gaming services, and I doubt UFO would have any luck selling this on a disc in the US market. I want these games over here on XBLA, but I just don't see it happening.
"Farewell to false pretension
Farewell to hollow words
Farewell to fake affection
Farewell, tomorrow burns"
"I want these games over here on XBLA, but I just don't see it happening."
Well the big advantage of a XBLA download over a hardcopy lies in the proportion of the financial risk. It's way cheaper to offer such a game as a download than producing and selling them on discs in boxes. That's why MS is selling Psychonauts online, a game which does have its fans but is hardly a blockbuster hit. The only problem with XBL is "priority" which means that stuff gets pushed back because other games are considered more "important".

Ubisoft brought Senko no Ronde over to the US.
I reiterate:
UBISOFT BROUGHT SENKO NO RONDE OVER TO THE US!
And probably made a killing off of those of us who paid $60 for it.
Also see: Earth Defense Force
My point is this:
Its stupid to leave an Xbox360 exclusive in Japan, because the Japanese don't give a fuck about the Xbox360.

I am one of those who pay $60 for War Tech: Senko no Ronde…and it was worth every $ and ¢ ! It was far much cheaper than buying an Asian 360 -- oh I also had the Korean Senko no Ronde limited edition with post card set and sold it as soon as USA Senko no Ronde was release.
ON TOPIC:
Just as with Raiden III being released in USA, I have good feeling that Raiden Fighters will see release in the USA as the Raiden has always been strong in this country. The arcade cabs with shooting games still seen today across the USA are Raiden Fighters games. There is a dirt arcade in a dead mall right here in Livonia that has Raiden Fighters. Many speek of that hole in the wall where the one arcade game they can play is a Raiden Fighters game.
