Besides the already discussed possible conflicts in the consistency of the game world, it would be literally mind-blowing to see that rural China has possibly 3D arcade games from the future while modern Japan and HK are stuck with 2D machines from the 80's. lol
So I'd really rather prefer Yu focus on building a solid fishing game (a la Sega Bass Fishing) and a viable racing one (very confident he will given the past games' history and his cheer love for the genre). Maybe a game of Chinese chess would be nice too as someone here mentioned.
I guess the main reason I'm against the inclusion of arcade games in the third game is that it would betray the whole pastoral vibe Yu is trying to portray with Shenmue 3. Maybe a machine or two hidden in the Choubu Inn wouldn't hurt. But still no VF for me, even though I love the series to death.[/color]
I agree, i think polygon games shouldn't be in the world, but i still would like to play some classics from the 80s. Going to the arcades and wasting money there is a substantial part of the shenmue experience in my opinion.
