Hope no one here bought an arcade cabinet of this game it's dead on April 1. Unplayable without the servers running apparently. Who would have thought that arcade machines now require an always online connection.

There will be no final Type Arcade patch to leave the game playable in perpetuity. Fans of SF5 are invited, instead, to play the console version.

Me.....

Hatsune Miku Arcade has been like this for well over 10 years now.

Street Fighter 5 is the black sheep of the Street Fighter universe on so many levels. This just piles on a little more. Even the people who liked it (and didn't/don't like SF6) still couldn't wait to move on from it ASAP.

Damn, that's bullshit, so much for owning the game....
I wonder if the hardware is the same so you can just swap the media for SF6?

would be a board swap at min. or whatever its running on. cab, monitor and controls would probably swap fine. then youd have to cross your fingers its not online only too...

Pretty much, wasn't sure if they just moved to general HW you can just changed the media now till you needed beefy'er HW for better graphic games.
Worked in an arcade 96-00 and the manager did the conversions for a few stores around the area. IIRC Capcom CPS systems were moving to optical media, the same with Sega. Neo-Geo just swap out the carts.

Edit: they use the same HW, 4th gen i5.

Insane. Those cabinets are expensive. This will cause some outrage.

And my partner literally just texted me a pic of a Street Fighter II Arcade cabinet, at a laundromat she is using right now. And I didn't talk to her about this SFV issue, at all!

**facepalm**
