These adverts are not for the end user. They are for the operator. Hence all the mention of kit sales and profit. Every machine operator wether it is arcade, heavy machinery or programmable logic controllers, wants to see some tits.

I think usually fliers for games made in the US are better because the devs or parent company have a stronger say while Japanese games brought over to the US is when fliers becomes a mixed bag.

This, these aren't for the 36 year old nerds who want to look at Shogeki Kuntsu's hand painted illustration of some Japanese game, but for the 53 year old Armenian immigrant real estate owner who wants to break into the booming arcade industry in 1985. He has the english skills of a kindergartener but somehow has a bit under a million in his bank accounts and can get 50,000 dollar loans in 80's money because its 1985 and no one sees anything wrong with this. He sends away for a catalog. He has never and will never play a video game, but has a diet of 3 American movies a day.

At least this one is actually has models dressed as the characters from the game. Although,it's weird how the JP flyer art has the Mark Hamill-looking Player 3 guy who was only in the American version, along with the melee weapons for the other two guys instead of the guns they actually wield in the JP revision.
