Epcot Arcade

[DarkMeasures]

Innoventions was so cool back in 1995. What it is today is a sad former shell of what it used to be....

But anyway, I gave PIU a try at the Contemporary and it sucked...

No wonder the CMs at Disney didn't know what I meant when I asked them where the arcade was. It wasn't worthy anymore. It wasn't worthy...

Are all the games at Innoventions game system games ie. Xbox, gamecube, and PS2. Or arcade games?

I'm pretty sure they're not system games, but they are ESPN and disney arcade games.

 

[JackSkellington]

So they are standup arcade games with ESPN and Disney interwoven into the themes/looks/games, right?

 

[MKBurn15]

I'm not sure, some might be. I only wish that they were Sonic themed again. I might check this June when I go.

 

[JackSkellington]

I will let you know what it is like when I go in May.

All it is now is basically the same setup as when the Dreamcast was in there.Theres a cabinet in front of you with a window towards the bottom so you can see what system your playing and on the side theres a sheet that tells you the controls for the game and of theres a monitor.

 

[JackSkellington]

So is it a cheap arcade? Or just messed up?

never play the ddr machine at pleasure island. its a relic and the pads are so sticky and broken that it is impossible to play.

the 'arcade' at inoventions is console based, not traditional coin-op machines.

if anyone is over at the boardwalk and want to kill some time, be sure to check out the clubhouse by the villa/quiet pool. it's supposed to be for dvc members only, but no one is going to bother you about it. they have several consoles set up (i think gamecubes) with various demo games, not to mention a free air hockey table and a slightly broken NBA Jam set to free play. it's a nice alternative to the boardwalk and beachclub arcades.

I'm sorry, but that sounds a lot like inside a Toys R us, Electronics Boutique, or some other store with game demos. Has the Epcot arcade gotten that cheap? Or are there stand-up games/simulators such as Hydro Thunder? Because I miss the old Sonic-themed set-up. Horizons, did you say that the Sonic Statues were all gone?

 

[JackSkellington]

That ruins my arcade plans.

 

[MKBurn15]

Me too. I might go to see what has become of it. The last time I went there, I remember my hero, Sonic. If anyone wants to say something about it, try writing a letter to Sega of America. I will.

 

[JackSkellington]

Its too bad Sonic was downsized. I still love that hedgehog. But perhaps it was all for the better? YA?

Ahh.. there are those who would beg to differ. I used to be a huge fan of DDR and intensely disliked PIU. But once I gave PIU a fair shake, I found I liked it as much, if not more than DDR. The variety of step combos in PIU makes for some really good stepcharts.

I was the same way, but now I'm much better at PIU than I ever was at DDR. That being said, I still play DDR at least once a week.

 

[JackSkellington]

I personally do not care. I am a dancer well and said. I can dance well on DDR, but I am not obsessed with it. So really it doesn't matter to me what dance system is out on the market. I plan to stack to DDR. Plain and Simple.....

Agreed. At least ddr is available at home.

i was there last year and it was basically a toys "r" us setup. 5 or 6 PS2's lined up w/kingdom hearts/nemo/espn football and stuff lining the walls. All together it was like 15 systems (not different kinds) and it was incredibly bogus. i was also there in 94 and it was 5x better than it is now. You are correct in now saying
"ITS NOT WORTHY,,,,ITS NOT WORTHY"

Did you know that they released Prex 3 for the PC? ... ... In Korea only. That doesn't necessarily mean you can't get your hands on it tho :lookaroun

I'll give it one final look. Then I'll write a letter to SEGA about this. Hopefully, they won't just send me some form letter and a keychain. Maybe they will give it some thought and re-worthy it.
