Well you read the title. Unfortunately, the business details aren't being disclosed, but Joybox is packing up shop.
Since it's original arcade release for Act Cadenza, Joybox has supported Melty Blood as it's main game (shared with Tekken) for years. Much of the information on the wiki and mixups we use were invented at and spread through Joybox videos, so I think it goes without saying it will be deeply missed.
Many of the top players gathered last Friday and throughout the week to see off Joybox, pictures of which I have uploaded below. Players such as Inoshi, Udonge, T.I, Garu, Niiya, Hare, Shiki, You, among others have all visited in the past week. It's rare for top players to gather outside of tournament, so the play level specifically last Friday was some of the highest Japan has offer.

That being said, I wouldn't fret for the future of Melty Blood, Mikado remains nearby as the top Melty Blood arcade in the Kanto region, with A-cho in I believe Kyoto and Gamesky in Nagoya. I just thought I'd inform you guys as I believe this is a big loss to the arcade and overall melty fighting scene in general.
I will be at Joybox as much as possible the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th and try to record the venue so you guys can get a good idea of what it's like.

Its sad that Joybox is closing.They always put up alot of content and very high quality gameplay.Hopefully the joybox regulars will keep the same passion for the game.
R.I.P Joybox,you will be missed

Need anime plot to save arcade.

Jesus, are you serious?
This is sad, I loved joybox videos.
:(

well this sucks moist balls. there goes the chance of ever seeing a decent f-ciel come out of japan. joxbox has/had a good variety of characters being displayed in the vids they upped and I was patiently waiting for an f-ciel user to spawn from the shadows, ending the horrible streak of sadness. but instead, we're stuck w/ ragu =(.

Very sad, Joybox made up a good portion of the countless hours of Melty I've watched.

I'm sad to see them go. I liked the videos they put out.

Keits or someone was probably bored & was lurking here so they found it, but enough with the procrastinating on my end, Joxbox going is truly a disaster & will be missed by all of us that not only play Melty, but other games as well, R.I.P JoxBox, twas a good run.

I was the one who tipped off Keits after putting it on our front page.
:P

These two links are my final recordings on Joybox. This is my final report on this topic. Includes a special live recording of Niiya (C-Seifuku) vs Ashe (C-P.CL)
