This week the extremely stylish XBox Lounge opened to the general public in Japan (here's the menu). A few months ago, the Nintendo World Store opened up in Times Square in NYC. Soon, Nolan Bushnell's Gaming Cafe will throw wide its doors to Americans. Hey, what about us lot???
Without a doubt, these stores are the future of a kind of high-class video gaming. Like the Apple stores, they'll guarantee a different type of clientele than the rabble that hangs out around local games emporia, if only for the spectacle.
So when do we get our shiny shiny game-themed store?
And in other news, a nefarious rumour has surfaced that London's Trocadero is going to shut its gaming area. Is there any truth to this?
