+ <p>Visited New York during the Thanksgiving break and had a chance to stopped by one of the most legendary landmarks North American arcade gaming history.</p>

+
+<p>Also yep you&rsquo;re reading that right, it indeed once home to a <a href="https://davidpotorti.substack.com/p/the-dancing-chicken">dancing chicken as well as one that played tic tac toe</a>.</p>
+<p>But apart from just being an old arcade, it was also home to one of the largest competitive arcade game fighting scene (Marven vs Capcom, Street Fighter, etc.). Many of NAs top players frequented this arcade. However, as we all already know video arcades began to die down during the early 2000s and China Town Fair was no exeception having closed in 2011.</p>
+<p>Then it re-opened under new management and became a complete shell of its former self. These days its pretty much all redemption slop in there. Very few actual &ldquo;games&rdquo; in there; there&rsquo;s a DDR A3 cab, PIU, a singular jubeat with a broken audio mod, a fully broken down SDVX Nemsys, and 3 Wangan 5DX+ (not sure what happened to the 4th one).</p>
+<figure><img src="/posts/2025-12-02-china-town-fair/inside-ctf.webp"
+ alt="China Town Fair Inside">
+</figure>
+
+<p>Anyways, its pretty tiny in there and feels like its not doing amazing. A single credit for jubeat was like 3-4 USD I think, and one of the machines to reload cards was fully broken down (tbh just go to Round1 and play).</p>
+<p>If you want some actual rhythm games though, walk like 6 minutes and the newly opened &ldquo;Akiba House&rdquo; store has private networked maimai DX, WACCA (modded), and CHUNITHM.</p>

+
+<p>Also I was absolutely not ready for the New York winter temps. Thankfully I always keep my rhythm game gloves on me which saved my hands from freezing.</p>
