Top 10 most profitable arcade fighting games in Japan for April 2012

3rd strike is pretty close to AE2012, that's unexpected/impressive.

I had to look up that Gundam game... While there's technically fighting in it, it's really not the type of game I was expecting to see on this list. It's about as close to a fighting game as Call of Duty.

i watched few videos of Persona 4, doesn't look that impressive and from the tutorial videos looks like a button masher!

weird!

that gundam game reminds me of virtua-on than anything else. looks very cool

@ #3

Tell me you didn't stop at the 1-button easy combo there lol.

Still, can't wait for P4 to drop to console.

Persona 4 gettin all them Bitches! lol jk but really. awesome to see and rpg/fg get some attention in the arcades

Wow Persona 4 made it? After watching that KVO Hype, I now see why!

Wait! Where's BlazBlue: Calamity Continuum Shift Turbo Core Extend XXX Plus Climax? Oh, it's not out yet...

Pfft...

Who cares? Just wait till May 25th

ONE KICK TO RULE THEM ALL!!!!!

Glad to see Guilty Gear on the list. Really can't wait for the PSN release.

Persona 4 is just flavor of the month. Once people see it is just like BB the kings will take over again and Gundam and Tekken will be back on top.
If anything though I'm surprised Tekken wasn't first, even Gundam is over it.

Frikkin' hilarious! XD

Looking forward to that Persona game. I want something interesting to play.

I'm loving the Persona fighting game. It looks fun and the characters and the game music are pretty boss! The Japanese from what I can tell from the videos are loving this game to its fullest, it's no surprise it's top place material.

Can't believe we have to wait till August just for console owners to own/play it "sighs".

#1 its very impressive but not unexpected. Japan has always loved 3s, even when the west shunned it. thats why its never been dropped at SBO. its very popular over there

god, i wish arcades werent so dead in Guam. We have 1 and we dont even have recent games.... sigh.

Yeah looking forward for Persona; lot of fighters coming this fall

Good to see Persona topping the chart. It's the kind of game we need right now. Something easy for newcomers to get a handle but throw in some basic fighting 101 to make it hard to master.

Look at COD. Why is it popular? Well guns and war etc, but also because it's so easy and simple to play.

Hope Persona actually picks up some steam and get an EVO placement next year!

I wonder why namco doesn't want to print money with Gundam vs Gundam in the US? We got the dynasty warriors games, why not the better one?

Gundam x Gundam has been more profitable than Tekken for quite awhile.

I want my arcades back!!!
