The exA-Arcadia (Japanese: エクサ・アルカディア, Hepburn: ekusaarukadia), stylized as exA-Arcadia and also known as exA, is a ROM cartridge-based arcade system board released on November 27, 2019, by Japanese game company, exA-Arcadia.
The exA-Arcadia originally launched as a JVS conversion kit for existing coin-operated arcade cabinets. With its games stored on self-contained cartridges, a game cabinet can easily be changed to a different game title by swapping the game's cartridge and cabinet artwork. The exA-Arcadia offers owners the ability to put up to four different cartridges into a single cabinet. This unique feature was a key economic consideration for operators with limited floorspace, as well as saving money long term by only needing to buy a new game kit rather than a whole new game cabinet.
The exA-Arcadia was marketed as the most powerful modular arcade system upon its release compared to contemporary rival arcade systems such as Taito's TypeX series and Sega's Ringedge 2. For single threaded processing under Unity benchmark testing, it has higher performance than Sony's PlayStation 5.
History
editアーケードビデオゲームの再興(“video games back to the arcade”)を果たすべく、ネットワーク接続を必須とせずプレイ毎の課金が不要[注 1]、画面出力を16:9液晶と4:3ブラウン管に両対応させるなど[注 2]、世界各国の中小ゲームセンター事情に配慮して仕様策定されている[5][6][3]。
開発を率いるのはビデオゲーム収集家・EVOのバーチャファイター4エボリューション入賞ゲーマーとしても知られる実業家エリック・“ShouTime”・チャング[3]。2017年秋から開発を始めて徐々に情報を公開し、2018年のJAEPOにて公式に発表した[5]。なお、名称の「エクサ」は百京倍を表す接頭辞に由来し、無限の可能性の意が込められている[6][注 3]。2019年のJAEPOにおいて、日本国内における発売時期が2019年夏予定と発表された他、国内販売はサファリゲームスと共和コーポレーションが担当する予定[7]であったが、11月末まで発売が延期となった。2020年8月から国内法人販売は株式会社エイコーと株式会社アクエスが担当する。国内個人販売はBEEP、KVCLAB、WGCが担当する。2019年11月27日、ロンチソフトのアカとブルータイプレボリューションが日本国内で稼働を開始した。2024年3月現在までの稼働中タイトル数は36本となっている。
エクサ・アルカディア[8])は、2019年に日本を含む世界市場向けに発売されたアーケードゲーム基板。WindowsPCベースの汎用システム基板で、4本のゲームROMスロットを備える。開発元はexA-Arcadiaで国内販売代行が株式会社Show Me Holdingsである。
