So in order for classic arcade games to survive, they're going to need corporate sponsorship? Confused

No, a full version of Xevious is available on xbox live and the playstation network. This is a special thing, like the Google pac-man.

Does this have anything to do with that weird webcomic relaunch of Xevious? Doubt it, but I still found that weird.

If this is the case, the industrious fellows who build their own MAME cabinets are clearly unaware of such a threat.

I was fully expecting this game to be playable only by people living in Japan. I was surprised to find that the game was actually playable here in the US.

It's an interesting idea, but I think I'll stick with my original NES release and my 3D Classics release of Xevious.

A friend is doing exactly that! Already bought the control pads, stripped the LCD screen, cutting the wooden boards, etc. Laughing
