Influence of Arcade Industry Saviors

It is a well-known fact that Nintendo has made the ''Play-Choice.''  "Play-Choice," which offers you the opportunity to play all sorts of NES games at Arcade did quite well.  When Nintendo made the decision to get concrete Super Nintendo Entertainment System titles, they offered only a limited release and then stopped.  Despite this fact, some companies did well, meanwhile others did not.

The large successes really lasted only until the middle of 1990's.  Luckily, around 1997 Konami turned out to be a ''Savior,'' thanks to their highly unique and innovative titles.  Titles such as ''Dance, Dance Revolution,'' it is important to note that this game attracted an absolutely different variety of gamers, along with a lot of non-gamers back into Arcades.
The problem with these ''Arcade Industry Saviors'' is that they relied so much on the mainstream attention, unlike the ''Golden Age'' where each game was given a lot of attention from avid gamers.

After a couple of years,  DDR (Direct Disk Recorder) players remained the only gamers in the Arcade Industry, and Capcom started getting more attention from their 2D fighter/Marvel Comic Book games, the ''Marvel Vs.'' series which appeared at the same time.
