I think the franchise just lost it's novelty value. There wasn't really anywhere to take it that could expand the experience in a meaningful way. I remember loving the GH games and playing the shit out if them for years, but I also remember them going stale and boring because it was always just more of the same simple game mechanic with a new background track.

The rosy red glasses of nostalgia is making us biased.

Yeah. The game came with a bulky peripheral which locked in a lot of gameplay. It also didn't help that arcades were pretty dead at the time of the Great Recession.

I feel like the genre would have had more legs if it started as an arcade game in the 90's.

I hate how right you are. I guess what I'm really looking for is a way to recreate that magic, but an accessible shot of nostalgia every now and then would do just fine. I guess I'll look into clone hero and see.
