Yes, and here are some pictures to prove it (taken today).

Overview 1
Overview 2
Back Area 1

Side Area 1
Side Area 2

Hopefully they bring back Guilty Gear and upgrade it to Accent Core.

From overview 2 you can clearly see where the old banister used to be and how much more space there is due to that from overview one. If they do just a little more rearrangement, they could put two fighting games from the side area and put them on the opposite wall, thus creating a ton more space around all fighting games.

SVGL got IIDX Gold a few weeks ago ^_^

UPDATE (6/26): Santa Clara Billiards in Santa Clara, CA, has a small arcade. I don't remember all the games that were there, besides F&F Tokyo Drift and Soul Calibur 3.

I will warn you now: DO NOT PLAY SC3 over there unless you can live with this forked up button setup:



The Legend characters on that machine are pretty low-level, so if you want to take over Legend Mode and don't mind the weird buttons, by all means do it.

I just went to the SJSU place today. Nice, but what days are good for Marvel comp, if any?

Arcade Name : FunQuest
Location : Reno, NV Bottom Level of the Grand Sierra Resort
Locals : BrightHeart76
Note : This was my first job.  Laser Tag arena, Bumper Cars, redemtion games, arcade style games, miniature golf, Round Table Pizza, Port of Subs, Ice Cream Store, Candy Store and Movie Theater on the same Level, Bowling upstairs.  Outside there is a driving range on it's own concrete lake, Ultimate Rush Thrill ride and Go Kart racing.  Coming soon there'll also be an indoor waterpark.  For the suck that is Reno, this place is actually pretty darn cool.

...waaait. Wasn't this the Reno Hilton?

If so, I can vouch for the awesomnessosity of the place - back in the hey, they had Techno Motion (9-panel DDR, basically) installed. <3

yep, it used to be the Hilton.  They sold it about a year ago, now it's the Grand Sierra Resort.  Their making a big deal and spending a bunch of money to upgrade everything, the indoor waterpark is going to be AMAZING...too bad it won't open for more then a year yet.  bleh.  :)

edit...I typed in the wrong spot.  fixed now.
