Namco Plans New "Eatertainment" Chain

Source: Polygon

Namco Entertainment has plans in the USA for a new kind of "Eatertainment" business, and is currently looking within its hometown of Chicago for possible prototype locations. Executive VP & COO David Bishop is considering "an upscale restaurant with entertainment elements". One codename that's been kicked around is "Level 256".

It's not the first time they've tried something like this. There was XS Orlando in 1999, but that sadly tanked. I hope this stays around long enough to form a chain and become a viable competitor to D&B. Discuss.

Nothing makes me want to play an arcade game like watching a kid with pizza fingers play before me.

Pizza with download content.

You buy the crust, but the cheese, sauce, and all toppings are covered in arsenic and will only be purified with an additional fee.

No, that's the Capcom establishment.

It's a Namco establishment minus Tekken. Harada is fair.

There, good?

There's a Dave and Buster's near me, and it is always empty. This will go nowhere.

What's the latest Namco game to have an unreasonable amount of DLC? (This is a serious question, the last one I can remember was Katamari 360, and that was years ago)

Soul Calibur V. Maybe something more recent, I don't pay a whole lot of attention to them.

I thought the only paid DLC in SCV was dress-up parts for CreateACharacter.

Which was being released monthly for like five months on top of the initial batch of releases. I think they also had soundtracks for sale, but those might've been bundled with costumes.
