I hate the western form of arcade 'games' that are designed around the "carnival challenge you out of your money" approach (stacker, keymaster, basketball, punch thing, hammer thing). I want more of the Japanese games where you pay to play a game that's fun for the sake of being fun (Taiko, Mario Kart Arcade GP, Wangan, etc)

Japan has it's own awful practices to be sure. The worst games though by far are the ones where you plunk in the tokens and try to knock other tokens off precarious ledges, and then you sit there and play it for hours spending hundreds of dollars to win enough tickets to exchange for a cheap Bluetooth speaker.
