What would make a game better for the arcade?

Handheld devices are best for time wasting games. I.e. Casual games. PC's/Consoles are best for more intense/indepth video games. Arcade games allows the entire box to be devoted to one game, which means there is more "aptmosphere" for the game. I'm creating an arcade cabinet, with a custom game for a local arcade, and looking for areas and ideas that can make a game more fitting in the arcade, or what features play best in an arcade, or just make it better here. I know the games need to be fast to play. I.e. No long level loading, no long intros, get to the game play quick. I know they games should be fast to end. I.e. Playing a 30-60 minute RTS, like Star Craft would take too long. What else? What can I add to make a game better? what would make an arcade game worse? - Thanks!
