TheTaito NESYS (Network Entry System) is anarcade game network communication system byTaito.[1] It connects up arcade machines via a network, and allows players to participate in national rankings and online play, as well as allowing arcade operators to download updates for games. TheTaito NESiCAxLive digital distribution system uses NESYS as its networking system.
The system uses theNESYS IC Cardsmart card to allow players to save game data at arcade machines; one example of this isStreet Fighter IV.[2] These cards will remain compatible with the machine even as the games it hosts change. The card itself can hold data for multiple different games at the same time. This is similar to theKonamie-AMUSEMENT system, and the smart card function of theSEGAALL.Net system.
