it’s my favorite time of year, the time when new iidx gets announced
what’s notable for this release is that, unless you have the most recent very expensive version of the arcade cabinet, you have to spend like $4000 buying an official hardware upgrade kit from konami (the parts of which cost about $1000 even without wholesale discount, so this is pure greedy profit for konami) in order to run iidx 31
such a great move at a time when the arcade industry is still faltering in japan, surely this won’t lead to a bunch of arcades getting rid of their iidx machines
ah….
