They were already less cool as of late. Gone were a lot of the “one game per machine” things and instead they just had a bunch of crane games and these “multi-title” machines with standardized controls. So, you could sit anywhere and play the same thing unless it had unique controls/displays or could still justify its own cabinet.


did they stop making those elaborate cockpit setups for the Gundam games?


Those already was only one machines or two, if at all. Also a big issue with arcade games is it's quite expensive (100 to 300 yens per game), especially in comparison to buying occasions.


No, there are still plenty of those, especially in larger arcades.
