I go to Japan every year and gaming/ufo catcher has been a big part of my trips. I LOVE your coverage of the latest and greatest. This is exactly what I enjoy watching. Thanks Cory, stay moist my friend.
Have you ever been to a Japanese game center before? Have you ever tried a Gachapon machine before? What was the coolest thing you saw in this video? Let me know in the comments down below! Thanks again for watching and see you in the next tour video!
Sadly, no! I had planned to go to Japan for the first time with my SO when we bought our house in Feb of 2020, but then, well, you know lmao. Luckily, I have an entire bedroom dedicated to pachinko in my house, so I can *kinda* live a parlor at least xD
omg. I was a huge fan of Cory when he first started. I was thinking of him 2 days ago but could find his channel. Then today he just popped up. I'm so glad he did! i used to have a pretty big crush on him....lol
I have never been a big fan of arcades, and I know almost nothing about anime, gundam, etc., but I really, really enjoyed this video! When I go back to Japan, I'm going to get a friend to go to an arcade with me, and I am going to choose a game and play it. I'm also going to go to a gachapon place and collect some. Hey, Cory -- have you ever done an apartment tour in your place in Matsudo? You should do one. Great to see you!
That's so awesome! All the games are so cool, and so are all the Gachapon machines! And JOJO, thanks for the shout out Cory! I can't wait to play the jojo games when I get around to Japan! 😊 thanks for sharing this amazing arcade with us!
I just die at all Gachapon that are mundane things. glad to catch up on what was new. trying to get my hands on the Honda Cub series that came out last year. also I thought I saw some Datsun trucks! and I'm still jealous of the crazy big wasp thing you got like a while ago. thanks for the video dude!
Absolutely! "Let's make some Gacha of parking cones." ROFL Ooooh, I've seen the Honda Cub one. I believe I saw the Datsun trucks too. Next time I go, I'll try to snap some pics and share them on IG and tag you. Oh, and I saw some new wasp one with nests! I'll try to find it again and show you. Cheers for watching dude!
Great suggestion! I'll have to try and figure out a place where I can go and possible get away with filming inside. Some of them have staff that are super active and walking up and down aisles and stocking a lot of things, so it might be hard to film. I'll see what I can do, though.
This was super cool Cory! Makes me so jealous that we dont have such game centers here, looks like so much fun, great place to spend some good time ☺️ and good that in there smoking is not allowed, it shouldnt be, specially considering many kids spend time in there. Im glad here you are not allowed to smoke indoors anywhere, always have to do it outside! But anyway, super fun video, some of those machines look amazing, i love all the lights and different colors! ☺️
Absolutely loved seeing the Arcade, thank-you. I love so many different arcade games, from Wangan & Initial D all the way to the oldest stuff. Even the larger linked games like Derby Owners Club & Star horse fascinate me XD Hope to go Japan soon in the future. In the meantime I encourage everybody to visit your game centers where you live in the world because they're awesome!
7:07 I own this machine. It is really fun. It has enough modes and features to warrant it's own video! 7:24 The older slots usually pay the most because of new regulations decreasing payouts. 7:42 AKB. This one is a common sight in the US. 7:54 I've never seen a machine beat up like that before. 8:22 Stay away from this one when it powers on. The siren is LOUD! 8:31 You should check out the new giant one. 9:04 I have one of these on order. It does something crazy when you win. I'm not going to spoil it, you'll have to play it for yourself.
@@CoryMay81 If you're still in Japan, would you mind hunting down the new Initial D pachinko? I'm thinking about buying one and want to know if it is as entertaining as it looks.
This was around 4pm on a weekday. I think during this time, a few high school students came to the place, but most are doing after-school club activities or going to cram schools for extracurricular studying. It's much busier on the weekends. And yeah, when I lived in Hilo and Kona, I don't even remember any arcades at all. hehehe Thanks for watching!
a little off topic, but do you know anything about the AΣTECIO building shown at 1:00? there's an older japanese clothing brand by that name that a friend and I have been looking for more information on for like a year and a half, so if you know anything it'd be much appreciated!
I think it's just a coincidence that building has the same name as a clothing brand that you're looking for. In that building, there are just some small businesses like small bars, a hair salon, internet cafe, restaurant, etc. There are no clothing stores in there at all. And unfortunately, I've never heard of that brand or seen them anywhere around Tokyo. Thanks for watching, Nicky!
Yep! One of the other reasons I don't play any of those rigged games. I can spend $25 or more and not get a single prize, or just go to a store and buy the model I want for $15.
You should see some of the crazy pachinko and slot parlors. They're way crazier than this tame Namco at my local station. hehehe I might go film some tours of them soon! I have a few in mind that are really wild.
More info for you. 5:33 It is not. Far from it. It's Pac Man Smash. 6:20 Medal fishing. 9:31 These medal games are known for paying out a lot. They don't pay much though. 9:40 Smash Stadium with SpinFever. The version of this game to not play. Always stick with the regular version. 10:58 SpinFever. Very popular older game. Known for Fever Game jackpot round that can pay multiple massive jackpots. 11:04 A wheel bingo game. No idea what it's called. 11:24 Fortune Trinity. I don't get why people like it so much when you can play the much more fun Grand Cross instead. 11:59 Sea Story. This game is not great. Play the pachinko instead. I would really like to see more coverage of these games. They don't get enough love in the states. Maybe you could head to an arcade during a stream?
@@CoryMay81 It didn't look like a pigeon to me, it seems like it would be a smaller speck when it disappeared behind the building, which looks to be a block or more away.
There's usually a little shady window tucked away outside of the pachinko, maybe next door or just down the street a little. You exchange the balls for cash that way. To my knowledge, it's obviously illegal but goes unchecked since it is mafia-related and nobody wants to deal with it.
Its so sad that Arcades are COMPLETELY dead here where i live for over 20 years. You have to be thankful when you see 1 modern Lightgun Shooter Arcade anywhere in the Country.

I love your tour videos! I miss Japan so much and hope I can return some time soon!
Thank you fr the gander at the game center and gachapon store. There's so much variety!
You're welcome! Yes, too many gachapon machines~ LOL

I don't understand why these game centers are almost empty. I love arcades, I grew up on them and I would be here every day.🤩
30:20
that is amazing....literally the definition of 'only in Japan'
hehehe

Extremely cool. I am SO jealous of the rhythm game section from the US! We get NOTHING!

That is a really cool Game center Cory I'd love to go there one of these days
The better game centers are in Tokyo, like around Akihabara or in Shinjuku's Kabukicho area.
This one is tame by comparison. Thanks for watching!
i'd love to see a tour video of a hard off or book off!
Great suggestion! I'll have to try and figure out a place where I can go and possible get away with filming inside. Some of them have staff that are super active and walking up and down aisles and stocking a lot of things, so it might be hard to film. I'll see what I can do, though.
Thank you for filming ❣

the gundam sim game looks sick
It really does. I wish I liked Gundam more to want to play.
Thanks for watching!
I have to admit a weakness for Tetsuwan no Taiko. I've also tried my luck with gatchapon machines, but never got anything that cool.
I couldn't play a rhythm game to save my life. You're lucky! hehehe
Thanks for watching!

8:22 Stay away from this one when it powers on. The siren is LOUD!
8:31 You should check out the new giant one.
9:04 I have one of these on order. It does something crazy when you win. I'm not going to spoil it, you'll have to play it for yourself.
Wow, you seem to be a serious arcade machine / arcade cabinet collector! Very cool! Thanks for watching!
@@CoryMay81 If you're still in Japan, would you mind hunting down the new Initial D pachinko? I'm thinking about buying one and want to know if it is as entertaining as it looks.
I wish I want to go there and play Gundam Extreme VS 2
What time is this? The outside doesn't look busy at all. My wife and kids love arcades but Big Island has junk kind🙏🤙🤙🤙
Love the videos still.
This was around 4pm on a weekday.

Awe you should have gotten the poop lol
Do they have time crisis games,Tekken games, soul calibur games and pacman games there?
a little off topic, but do you know anything about the AΣTECIO building shown at 1:00? there's an older japanese clothing brand by that name that a friend and I have been looking for more information on for like a year and a half, so if you know anything it'd be much appreciated!

@@CoryMay81 thnak you very much for the response! disappointing to hear, but much appreciated
Hey! What time did you go? In the morning? Not much people yet.
200 yen to win a pack of Pringles you can buy for 250 yen LOL
Yep! One of the other reasons I don't play any of those rigged games.
I can spend $25 or more and not get a single prize, or just go to a store and buy the model I want for $15.
Looks like a weird Las Vegas 😹
You should see some of the crazy pachinko and slot parlors. They're way crazier than this tame Namco at my local station. hehehe I might go film some tours of them soon! I have a few in mind that are really wild.
@@CoryMay81 Out of all the times I’ve been to Japan I’ve never gone into a Pachinko Parlor. I have gone in some smaller game centers.
More info for you.
5:33 It is not. Far from it. It's Pac Man Smash.
6:20 Medal fishing.
9:31 These medal games are known for paying out a lot. They don't pay much though.
9:40 Smash Stadium with SpinFever. The version of this game to not play. Always stick with the regular version.
10:58 SpinFever. Very popular older game. Known for Fever Game jackpot round that can pay multiple massive jackpots.
11:04 A wheel bingo game. No idea what it's called.
11:24 Fortune Trinity. I don't get why people like it so much when you can play the much more fun Grand Cross instead.
11:59 Sea Story. This game is not great. Play the pachinko instead.
I would really like to see more coverage of these games. They don't get enough love in the states. Maybe you could head to an arcade during a stream?
Am I the only one who read "tail o' clock"? Then realised it's "Tail o' cock"
hahaha No, I certainly didn't notice the "cock" until I got closer to the sign 3 years ago. It definitely made me laugh. Thanks for watching!
@@CoryMay81absolutely love your videos Cory.
geez, how much money is in this arcade??
No idea, but enough to pay the rent and electric bill! LOL
Thanks for watching!
I am in need of your help. I’m looking for the Japanese arcade cabinet of the 1991 Sega classic Time Traveler. Have you seen it?
That's a very specific question that Google can probably help you with better than I could.
Luffy!? :/
hahahaha That's right! I said it!
You don't want to know what Bombergirl is
Did you know there is a Switch F2P game based on SDBH? 3:45
I did not. I have a Switch but never play it. I'll maybe give it a look. Thanks!
地元すぎてワロタ
0:52 what is that?
The pigeon flying? Or the view of the outside of the train station?
@@CoryMay81 It didn't look like a pigeon to me, it seems like it would be a smaller speck when it disappeared behind the building, which looks to be a block or more away.
Do you exchange pachinko winnings illegally? Where do you do it even? In the dark alleys?
There's usually a little shady window tucked away outside of the pachinko, maybe next door or just down the street a little. You exchange the balls for cash that way. To my knowledge, it's obviously illegal but goes unchecked since it is mafia-related and nobody wants to deal with it.
Its so sad that Arcades are COMPLETELY dead here where i live for over 20 years.
