Flappy Bird, the infamous video game that was removed due to its addictive nature, will likely be seen in the wild, albeit in a different way.
Bay Tek Games, the makers of several arcade cabinets, have obtained the licensing rights to the viral mobile game. The cabinet, which has only one button and a 42” screen, will allow people to get tickets for each pipe passed. Players will also obviously compete for high scores.
My Opinion:
Why can’t we let games die? Flappy Bird, however, would be perfect in an arcade. I mean, games like that live off of the quarters and tears of small children, so Flappy Bird seems perfect for this medium.

How is this a thing? This is literally the worst game I have ever played. It can barely be classified as a game. 😛

Well I’m happy it got a physical release. I think it had one on the Atari 2800 too. It wasn’t official or anything. I really like the fact it got an arcade ‘cabinet’ too. I like the new arcade games invading… even if they’re all just iPhone games or HD versions of old Atari / arcade classics, I still like them.
