it's slowly dying sadly, hey is a big arcade just down the road from akihabara station, arcades in more rural and lower key areas have been dropping like flies
I was in Tokyo for the first time a few months ago and I was able to visit this arcade. Played a lot of machines I thought I would never get to see. Thank you so much for sharing this video, it brings back great memories!
I've watched this video a lot of times. Finally got to see this place in person a month ago and it was worth the wait. This and the 6th floor of GIGO Tower 3 (Retro G) were my favorite arcades in Akihabara.
I really enjoyed this. Would love to go there. If I was a millionaire I'd buy a huge place where I could also buy a ton of Japanese arcade cabinets and just have them to myself like a selfish hoarder! I'd love it
Came back almost 2 weeks ago from my trip to Tokyo, and this video just reminds me of that amazing Arcade that had all those old school games in there. Love to see it again.
I have my own Arcade game shop in India and I am running all tekken series, Cadillacs and dianasauras , snow bros , WrestleMania, Mk triology sega , Ultimate mk 3 , Undercover cops , Final fight and Super contra
wow! so many great classics in the arcade, almost anything you could ask for... fighting, shoot-em-ups, racing games! what a cool game center. shout-out to seeing RAIDEN one of my favorite arcade shooters.
To me, this seems like heaven on Earth. There was a place like this when I was a child. Japan is one country I haven't been too as well, but if I did - I would definitely visit here.
I went to this arcade when I was in a Tokyo. It had the most retro machines by far. Shmup heaven! I never thought I'd actually get play Gradius in an actual arcade. Arcades are small and usually in a bowling alley or bar in the US.
This is awesome, love arcades. if I was rich and owned a mansion; would definitely set this up in my basement or large room. Yeah it is sad to see arcades dying everywhere because now... you can play all these game for free online or through emulation/hyper spin! Anyways thank you to the uploader for the neat video in Japan!
Thanks for the video :) Interesting to see how arcade culture of Japan looks as opposed to other places. I went to EVO, and then to various arcade-like places in Las Vegas and... yea, they were messy, noisy, "sassy" if you catch my drift. Japan's arcade looks clean. Way too clean, even. Not better or worse, just is. Thanks again for the video!
yeah I know. also Santa Monica had a big arcade on the pier... but the majority of the machines dont work or Out of Service! Arcades are basically dead and nonexistent now in USA! guess too many people playing emulation!
Japan also has Tower Records. I know that Japanese ppl treat things with great care, but they also have a strong attachment to culture and a strong sense of preservation. The idea that everything can be reformed makes the culture of a country frivolous. This is extremely important.
When you see great arcade centers like this. it brings back the best and worst memories of our youth. Let's be honest here, it's not just the happy experiences we had with our parents and friends while playing our favorite games. Sometimes we also witness the meanest and brutal fist fights inside those facilities. The nostalgia is why I sometimes tear up when I get to see clips like this. Sadly these can no longer sustain the funds needed to operate. It's not a lucrative business anymore.
Yo creo que todos los juegos que vemos en esté vídeo son Japoneses, en Japón los LIDERES en Juegos Arcade - estaría como en mi infancia jugando allí mi mamá me tendría que ir a buscar de una oreja como lo hacía como cuando era niño
Because there usually connected to the machine next to it or behind it to provide the player a sense of privacy as well as comfort. Also some of the newer games have a built in online feature.

I'm glad to see that arcade culture is still alive in Japan

Yeah, better go while they last.

sadly. in the west, arcades are considered a thing of the past
This is how arcades should've evolved worldwide.
Got to be here in April of 2023 and had an amazing time. 1:12 all of those sf4 cabs were FULL on that Friday night. Felt like the good old days
Glad you enjoyed this actual place.
It's like a modern museum...
I was in Tokyo for the first time a few months ago and I was able to visit this arcade. Played a lot of machines I thought I would never get to see. Thank you so much for sharing this video, it brings back great memories!
Thanks for sharing!
This is heaven
In the United States there are thousands of arcade rooms, the difference is that most of them are retro.
RESPECT . THANK YOU FOR JAPAN .
Thanks👍
Gaming heaven. I need to visit Japan.
That's Arcade centers is another world... It's a dream for me.

I am so glad I’m ready to go to Japan
Once upon a time, here in italy too we had some beautiful Arcade rooms...

이태리에 아케이드라니 궁금하네요~
Cool .......... I hope visit japan
Always we're welcome👍
Came back almost 2 weeks ago from my trip to Tokyo, and this video just reminds me of that amazing Arcade that had all those old school games in there. Love to see it again.
Oh yea i remember dropping a coin in the game you see at 10:51, it was fun to play cuz of all the different powerups and shooting beams!
Thanks and glad you have experienced such a fun time here.
I have my own Arcade game shop in India and I am running all tekken series, Cadillacs and dianasauras , snow bros , WrestleMania, Mk triology sega , Ultimate mk 3 , Undercover cops , Final fight and Super contra
Wow, that's awesome👍
What is the company that you bought your arcade cabinets from?
What was the initial cost to buy all of them?
OMG, Virtua Fighter 2 is still there. I was playing the games there 4 years ago!
wow! so many great classics in the arcade, almost anything you could ask for... fighting, shoot-em-ups, racing games! what a cool game center. shout-out to seeing RAIDEN one of my favorite arcade shooters.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, they have a wide selection of retro arcades. Please come prepared with lots of coins!
@@japanpov Hello, How much does it cost to play the games, on the average? Since they are retro arcade, are the prices retro as well? lol! Salute!
@neogeomaster3027 oh yeah I believe it about the name-brand chains, wouldn't be surprised if they charged more.
@neogeomaster3027 oh wow. thanks for the insight!
@neogeomaster3027 that's crazy... they really trying to get those tourist's money by jacking up the prices lol
This place is paradise
Amazing!! I love this!! I'm planning a trip soon!!
Have fun!
just amazing thank you for sharing it !!
Thanks and glad you enjoyed😆
It's so quiet but late 90,s arcade used to crowded
mostly because there are too many entertainment alternatives..
idk when this was filmed but i stayed in tokyo for a while and HEY definitely gets a good amount of patrons every night
Reminds me of the Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, IL.
A virtual museum of games. 🕹️
I used to go to this place every week. Thank you for introducing Akihabara!
From Japanese.
Thank you too!
Man I love those Taito Vewlix cabs, I own one myself. I imported it and then stripped it and added a PC, EMUS etc the works.
To me, this seems like heaven on Earth. There was a place like this when I was a child. Japan is one country I haven't been too as well, but if I did - I would definitely visit here.

Cool place...
Love how the Japanese keep arcade culture alive.
Ah this is so cool
Thank you👍
I love it🕹️ nostalgic✨
When I was a kid this kind of place was Magic for me in my country Brazil 😮😢
Thanks🙏🎉
I often visit this arcade on Fridays. This is truly a legendary arcade, especially if you are a Japanese retro gamer.
Heaven
man.. i would love one of those Egret cabs
I love that 6:30 game! Virtual on!
True Paradise.
This is awesome, love arcades. if I was rich and owned a mansion; would definitely set this up in my basement or large room.

My fav arcade! HEY!
📛iNCREIBLE que siga el arcade en JAPON que envidia sana ,aki en España los sacaron todos una verdadera lastima
How can a place like this be so damn clean
Glad to see Gundam DX no matter how many games they make that game was fire
They have Tatsunoko VS Capcom arcade, very hard find now!
that game was released for the Nintendo Wii!!
5:17 you can practice in the arcades now?? I remember this being a thing back in Soul Calibur 2, but I had never seen it since
Kinnikuman MGP2 on a Taito Type X2? glorious.
seen at: 7:11
America has Casino machines, Japan has Arcade machines.
Speaks volumes doesn’t it? 😅
Of course japan will have the best arcades
Thanks for the video :)
Interesting to see how arcade culture of Japan looks as opposed to other places.
I went to EVO, and then to various arcade-like places in Las Vegas and... yea, they were messy, noisy, "sassy" if you catch my drift.
Japan's arcade looks clean. Way too clean, even. Not better or worse, just is.
Thanks again for the video!
Interesting! Thank you very much too!
This is my idea of heaven
Los Angeles once had giant SEGA arcades. They are no more, but great memories.
yeah I know. also Santa Monica had a big arcade on the pier... but the majority of the machines dont work or Out of Service! Arcades are basically dead and nonexistent now in USA! guess too many people playing emulation!
Is that a special version of Darius 2 on 2 wide screen monitors instead of 3 CRTs? 9:24
El Dorado.....
I must visit...
Dream to visit Japan
Great content mate,keep it coming,subbed !
Anyone has any idea what the game at 5:15 to 5:20 is ???
Looks awesome !
man seeing this makes me wish i had the money to go see it in person and i love how there was one random Americana dude chilling there talking trash
I wonder how many watts are pulled, to have all those cabs running at once!
wow.... so many Egret IIs in there
Japan also has Tower Records. I know that Japanese ppl treat things with great care, but they also have a strong attachment to culture and a strong sense of preservation. The idea that everything can be reformed makes the culture of a country frivolous. This is extremely important.
man of culture playing mushihimesama futari at 11:22
日本のゲームセンター(Arcade Games)は減少しています。秋葉原のような古いゲームがある場所はとても貴重です。ありがとうございます。
ありがとうございますm(_ _)m
The heaven
I love seeing this and hope to go to a Japanese arcade myself someday. However, as a loner myself it's kinda sad to see everyone playing alone :(
Crazy taxi that's what I'm talking about
Dream....!!!
Thanks🎉
That's a lot of fighting games
Will there be Final Fight, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and WWF WRESTLEFEST in the future?
nice
As a gamer, I really want to go to this country, the bad thing is that I'm from Brazil but one day I'll go to gaming paradise
Surprised they're still using alot of CRT TVs, must be a nightmare to maintain those.
Actually they are low maintenance, they could go on for decades, LCD ones are more fragile.
🇯🇵🤝🇯🇵
I’m a big fan of Initial D, do you know where I can find an arcade in Japan with the game machine still?
11:10 OK, I'll be in this corner here the whole night

Great, you're literally arcade gamer!
Excelente 😅
No sports game? like virtual striker?
Really wreck it ralph 3 should happen at a tokyo arcade
Does anyone know the game at the 6:02 mark?
Which game is the one in 5:45
I'd spend a very respectful couple of hours there❤
满满都是回忆啊，泪目…
Do you know where I can find the arcade game "Sailor Zombie" by AKB48?
그리운 오락실
0:50 today i playing garou mark of the wolves in my emulator final burn alpha in my Xbox classic
Cool, home arcade is also amazing!
Joguei quase todos
can i live there?
Yo creo que todos los juegos que vemos en esté vídeo son Japoneses, en Japón los LIDERES en Juegos Arcade - estaría como en mi infancia jugando allí mi mamá me tendría que ir a buscar de una oreja como lo hacía como cuando era niño
Look at all that Taito Egret
how much is the energy bill?
about 100yen
Bet Japanese efficient enough to offset electricity bill with solar power too
Maybe it’s just me but the guy saying excuses bruh sounds like Justin Wong 😂
haha😅
In Japan, Guilty Gear is their first choice
either that or street fighter
Why do the cabinets with fighting games have only one fight stick?? Fighting games are supposed to be played by two players vs.
Because there usually connected to the machine next to it or behind it to provide the player a sense of privacy as well as comfort. Also some of the newer games have a built in online feature.
@@Ghostofenzo Thank you for explaining! That's very cool then!
