Due to the popularity of this video, I decided to visit another Local Japanese Arcade called “Space Shuttle”. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/nCOIWG3s99Q/w-d-xo.html
I could be there everyday and never get bored. Used to hang out in arcade back in early 2000's all the time when I was in my early 20's. It was a place where I can go and relax and not worry about what's going on in the world.
Seriously, Japan is a retrogamer's paradise. One can walk into an arcade and stay there for hours and hours and hours, especially when it has 1000s of different games in it.
Thank you! Welcome to the channel. Makes me happy too. Hopefully some people will go there after seeing the video. Also, new local arcade video coming this week, stay tuned :D
This is the type of arcade i want to go to when im in Japan. A musty arcade with a bunch of astro cabs and classic games. I could play Third Strike All day.
Oh yes! Local and 100% Japanese! Its so cool! Third Strike is the kind of fighting game you can play forever! I need to go back and play against some Japanese people sometime.
I'm so glad some old arcades still exist in Japan. Lived in Japan from 1991 to 2001, possibly the boom arcade years where there was a game center in almost every corner. These days they are mostly gone. Places like this is like traveling back in time.
Yea its amazing to see this. Wow what a time to live there. Must've been amazing. I can only imagine how amazing the arcade scene mustve been back then. Glad to hear that!
Piece of history, congrats to the owner and punters that are keeping the place alive. I used to love going to the arcades during my high school years ! Street Fighter Third Strike and KOF 2002 ... so much money and hours put in those games !
The sight of an amusement arcade sends pleasant shivers through me. I remember the smell still: a mixture of Mr.Sheen, bubblegum and cigarette smoke. If I'm going to be picky, the cabinets looked a bit uniform, but that's of course to save space. At the age of 43, I finally got into fighting games.
Incredible. Love reading this. You're spot on with describing the atmosphere :D Glad you could finally appreciate fighting games. Its my number one genre now as an adult.
Its great to see all these machines still on working conditions after all these times.even though i never visited japan, its so nostalgic for me. Thank u man
Good stuff I'm a software engineer my dream is to buy a house in Japan and walk to an arcade and play games I will make it happen. Thanks for the video.
Ignore the hate comments. Go do it, it's better to pursue a dream than nothing at all. I'm a software engineer too and I have a dream to buy an arcade cabinet of SF2/Third Strike some day :)
Yea man, great atmosphere in here. People seem friendly too. I could tell some of them were trying to talk to me. I should go back and play a game against them. Thanks Mark!
Wow all of those vintage cabs still in use that is amazing. Loving those old blast city cabs. Great to see some Neo Geo, CPS2/3 in action in the wild! I was in Japan a few years back and often you would see the older games alongside the modern stuff.
It is truely amazing to see an arcade like this still alive. A time machine back into the 90's. Hoping to get one of these Blast City cabs. They look really cool. And yea, the bigger arcades in Japan are removing more and more of the older ones for new ones. At least theres still a few places like this left. Just recorded another old arcade!
and to think about the epic duels that those machines have made possible in their long years, I really miss going to an arcade and fighting against an unknown guy, it's a great adrenaline rush, now I play street fighter 6 online, but it's just not the same...
Oh yes. And many professional players have been using these cabs. The history that this arcade place carry is amazing! And yes, online will never be the same...
these arcade cabinets and arcade style sticks and 6 buttons layout is how i grew up with in fighting games, now you see 6-8 button layouts, different types of sticks...
I’m really glad Round 1’s been bringing over some of their Nesica Live cabinets to the US. Even if there’s only a couple cabs, they’ve got a really wide variety of old games as well as some indies such as Skullgirls and Akatsuki Blitzkamf. Really disappointed my local Round 1 doesn’t have any, and the fighting game section it did have shrunk dramatically since it opened.
@@RetroMoments Blitzkamf is PC freeware and the arcade version can be emulated with online multiplayer via Flycast + Fightcade, I definitely recommend giving it a try. There's a lot of depth and room for mastery, but it's a mechanically simple game that's easy to pick up and start playing. Also you can play as a tank.
@@RetroMoments yes, I saw the poster and billboards everywhere at subway, gamestore, etc. Damn that was so cool, Im still remember the ambience and the artwork is awesome
Thanks for the video, looks close to my ideal arcade. As you said you didn't recognise Street Fighter Zero 3 (a.k.a. Street Fighter Alpha 3), I'd recommend you give it a go next time you have a chance, it's a fun game, worth looking up some combo videos to get a feel for it.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! Yea, I did see it was Street Fighter. Just wasnt sure which version as I have never played Alpha 3. Just Third Strike. I will definitely give Alpha 3 some time later on. Thanks.
Dude, only ¥50 to play the classics! I would have started at Street Fighter Zero/Alpha 3 and made the rounds finishing with the CAVE shooters. Q Box is the type of joint to spend with the most devout of gamer friends. Cheers!
Yea I was so surpised to see this too haha. Seems like theres really friendly people in there too. I might go back and ask if someone wants to play some Street Fighter :D
The CAVE shooters in the video are: DodonPachi Daioujou DodonPachi Daifukkatsu Mushihime-Sama Futari Those are tough shooters (for beginners of course). Saw the "Daioujou" one in my local arcade, and also my brother played the PS2 port of it.
I've played the PSP version. It's so~~ good. I don't know it's good or not as a fighting game since I'm not a fighting game expert. But as a Fate series fan, it's a must try.
Hello Retro Moments Please talk about ANBERNIC emulation consoles as RG552 and RG405M. And also the brands Retroid, AYN, Powkiddy, AYA NEO. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@@nesfrk Ok that's great, but many people in that situation would prefer to give their eyes a break, me included ;-) (although I would definitely go on the weekends!)
@@RetroMoments we still have local arcade place here in the philippines like timezone. but you'll only see them inside the mall. in what i have observed, tom's world are the only running chain of arcade place here that still have old arcade cabs. sadly they are poorly maintained...
Just found this video now. Live in Inuyama. The small game center near my house closed down thanks to COVID. I used to go to the one in Sakae before they got rid of all the retro games. Where exactly is this game center?? Would love to go and give them my business!! We got to keep places like this alive at all costs!
Haha nah, I know most ones that were released in Europe. However, Ive been mostly sticking to SNK fighters. Especially in recent years. This game (Unlimited Codes) was never released outside Japan…
Theres a bar/arcade in my area in the USA that has these japanese style blast city cabinets. Theyre so legit but the people have broken the joysticks and buttons on the two machines I used. I fired up Street Fighter 3, 19xx, and Gigawing. The screens looked amazing.
Yea the Blast City cabs are awesome. We have them at the arcades in Europe as well, with the same issue as you just said xD And guess what... In Japan the sticks are perfect on most of them.
@@RetroMoments I'm saving up some money for my trip there next year with my family, had to skip this year's vacation for that, really hope I can make it!
How do you play against eachother? Or are these for 1p only? i did see only one joystick etc in the machines. Or are there diffrend cabinets that have two joysticks, wich makes the 2player possible?
Fighting game cabinets in Japan are linked so that there's one player on each side, as opposed to the head to head setup which is common overseas. Some overseas arcades also have a similar setup if they import cabinets (I saw Astro Citys with 3S and MvC2 in this configuration when I was touring an arcade recently in Chicago)
@@netdoll Thanks for the very informative response👍. Fun to see that these old types of gaming is still a somekind of culture ( maybe it is a big culture still, i am not a arcade gamer)
@@Miikkkaelmon It's really cyclical I think, a lot of the old Showa era game centers in Japan are closing every week but at the same time the diehard fans will never let it truly die out and to my eye at least overseas there has actually been something of a resurgence of interest over the past decade or so, particularly around the polymath rhythm gamers who branch out into things like TGM, shooting games, and vs puzzlers like Puyo as well.
that one game was "Street fighter alpha 3" the one where you said that you didn't know the name of this game! good to see the arcade scene still strong in Japan. Arcades are basically dead and extinct in USA! on another note, Dreamcast is still actually popular in Japan and they keep producing bootlegs for Dreamcast still til this day! ( for Japan that is)
Yea I noticed when editing the video, but thanks :D Oh yea, its not as strong as in the 90's of course. But Im glad its still going. Oh yes, love the Dreamcast and thats also something that brings a smile to my face.
I also want to make another correction. In Japan, this game is called Street Fighter Zero 3. In Japan, it was known as the Zero series, but in USA was known as the "Alpha" series. They are both the same identical games, just different name versions for the specific region.
Time flies, i used to think wanna come to japan to experience the latest arcade game Gundam vs Gundam maxi boost, but i just don't know where to find this arcade game, it's a very fun game to play. You know? Sometimes i think it's better to play fighting game in a real arcade machine than our modern console playstation or PC.
Oh I see Maxi Boost everywhere still. I just recorded another local arcade here in Japan. They had Maxi Boost. Stay tuned for that video! Oh definitely! Its way better playing with proper sticks and a machine that was built for a specific game.
Some of these games displayed here I have on Switch, including Street Fighter Alpha 3 (you had passed it but I was able to recognize the score display), Street Fighter III Third Strike, and Vampire Savior (the above mentioned Street Fighter games were on the 30th Anniversary Collection, and Vampire Savior was on Capcom Fighting Collection)
They are definitely using actual PCBs, the record holders would notice and complain if they didn't since outside of any legality concerns, emulation is not particularly good for (among others) the 3rd generation Cave hardware shown in the video. This game center and its sister one Q2 is kind of legendary in shooting game circles for being where most of the records in the Nagoya area are set (IIRC CUE is also around there somewhere?)
Haha oh yea. I've actually mentioned that in a previous video. It really is amazing. Whats more amazing is that there are no trash cans. Meaning its in the culture to carry around your trash.
I wish i hav an arcade lik this in my country wher i can chill on a fri evening after work...arcade in singapore are now all playing for ticket game, it sux...this is the real type of arcade i grew up with
In case you missed it, there was also En-Eins Perfektewelt Anastasis. It's a sequel to Akatsuki Blitzkampf :) That game is being broadcasted on Kouhatsu!
Due to the popularity of this video, I decided to visit another Local Japanese Arcade called “Space Shuttle”.

I could be there everyday and never get bored. Used to hang out in arcade back in early 2000's all the time when I was in my early 20's. It was a place where I can go and relax and not worry about what's going on in the world.
i prefer to hang out in men's toilets all day
@@happyjonn9242 shut up gay
I would quit my job and be there 8 hours a day.
Its the perfect place to hang out in, thats for sure.
@@CatzzBloxFamily Haha! Im sure you would miss your job after a while...
Seriously, Japan is a retrogamer's paradise. One can walk into an arcade and stay there for hours and hours and hours, especially when it has 1000s of different games in it.
Oh yes! Its like coming home to a home you've never been to and immediately feel at home :D
do I have to know Japanese to go Japan?????
@@Gloryboyquan Of course not. But dont expect people to be speaking English!
@@Gloryboyquan Most local people do not speak English, even if they do, you don't expect to be able to understand their pronunciation😂
@chrisliu5460 so how df I suppose to get around and get hotel etc 🤔
Warms my heart to see arcades still doing so well in japan ! This was my youth,miss those days ! Great video and content mate,subbed !
Thank you! Welcome to the channel. Makes me happy too. Hopefully some people will go there after seeing the video.
Also, new local arcade video coming this week, stay tuned :D
9:40 Man it would be amazing to live 20 feet from that arcade.
Oh yes! I would be there everyday!

Lot of nostalgic vibes coming and all types of character coming from that arcade. Great Video. Ill have to check it out next time im in Nagoya.👍
Oh yes! Very authentic atmosphere in there.
You definitely should :D
The sight of an amusement arcade sends pleasant shivers through me. I remember the smell still: a mixture of Mr.Sheen, bubblegum and cigarette smoke.
If I'm going to be picky, the cabinets looked a bit uniform, but that's of course to save space.
At the age of 43, I finally got into fighting games.
Incredible. Love reading this. You're spot on with describing the atmosphere :D
Glad you could finally appreciate fighting games. Its my number one genre now as an adult.
Its great to see all these machines still on working conditions after all these times.even though i never visited japan, its so nostalgic for me. Thank u man
Japanese people are the best at taking care of things. Its in their culture. Thanks for watching!
glad to see there are still places like this, when i went to tokyo in 2019 i searched all through akihabara but couldn't find any
Yea they are getting harder and harder find. These authentic arcades. But I did find another one that I just filmed. Stay tuned :D
Good stuff I'm a software engineer my dream is to buy a house in Japan and walk to an arcade and play games I will make it happen. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching, Matt! Glad you liked the video!
I believe in you too! You can do it!
My dream is to have a voluptuous beauty in a passionate LTR.
I think the arcade one is more attainable...
If you r not japanese. Suggest to just buy an arcade machine instead
Expensive. And you would get bored of that soon.
Ignore the hate comments. Go do it, it's better to pursue a dream than nothing at all. I'm a software engineer too and I have a dream to buy an arcade cabinet of SF2/Third Strike some day :)
Love an old retro arcade, and this one looks fun! Hope I can go there someday! Another great video, Adam!
Yea man, great atmosphere in here. People seem friendly too. I could tell some of them were trying to talk to me. I should go back and play a game against them. Thanks Mark!

Same here! Always stoked to check out new arcades in Japan! :D
素敵なゲーセンだね
20年前はこのようなゲーセンが沢山存在したが、今では見なくなった
Awesome I miss the old school arcades...
Yea, me too! This is how it should look like!
I'm listening to the sound of the arcade, something that vanishes over time.
Youre right. Lets keep it as long as its possible.
and to think about the epic duels that those machines have made possible in their long years, I really miss going to an arcade and fighting against an unknown guy, it's a great adrenaline rush, now I play street fighter 6 online, but it's just not the same...
Oh yes. And many professional players have been using these cabs. The history that this arcade place carry is amazing!
And yes, online will never be the same...
This was truly enjoyable to watch, I wish I had a arcade like that near by to spend a Friday evening
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Yea its an amazing feeling walking into this Arcade. A few guys tried to talk to me after I turned the camera down.
There are arcades everywhere, i cant imagine moving back to the UK where you're lucky to find a crane game.
Plus I meet so many people!
Glad to hear you enjoy Japan! :D
Great place to hang out on a Friday night with some friends! I love street fighter 3rd strike!
Oh yes! Its perfect! 3rd Strike is the type of fighting game you can never get tired of!
Japan is so damn cool!! I'll live there one day. 😢
Coolest country in the world! I hope you reach your dream one day!
sees a few people playing games in a retro arcade. "japan is so damn cool!"
😂
Japan to me would be a cool place to visit but I wouldn’t live there.
@@freemokeraines2121 not me tho ill live there owo
Thanks! Childhood memory for sure, all these old arcade machines is gone in Singapore.
Awesome! Thanks for watching! Oh really!? Thats sad. Im filming these place to make people aware of them. Let them live!
my dream is to buy an arcade machine for my collection.. dancerush machines are cool too but spacious.😅
Totally agree with you! I would love to have just one in the collection 😃
How beautiful is this place, as if you are living the beautiful past.
Right!? Its like walking into a time machine!
My kind of place. Thanks for the video
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Seeing this make me miss arcades even more 😢
Oh yes! We need to keep these places alive!
As i was on my way home after work, first place i went was home. Because there wasnt any arcade center for me to enjoy after work like japanese did
Haha yea totally feel this!
I would pick any day of the week the Arcade before places like the cinema!
Every City needs one.
I stand behind this a 100%!
I'm showing my age but I remember when Arcade cabinets had built in ash trays. This takes me back .
Haha Yea Ive seen that too. Everyone was smoking in Japan during the 80s.
That's dope that they've got 3rd Strike there. Man, I haven't played that game in ages. So many childhood memories of it.
Yea! When you think about it... 3rd Strike holds up well today compared to many other retro fighters. Such a great game!
wish i could own one of these old school Astro City Arcade cabinets, they are the perfect size.
100% agree! They are so cool looking as well. Im hoping to get it one day too.
these arcade cabinets and arcade style sticks and 6 buttons layout is how i grew up with in fighting games, now you see 6-8 button layouts, different types of sticks...
Yep. I prefer the 6 button style. 8 is not needed really imo.
This is an example of a video, that you can smell... 😅😅😅😅 I miss the old days ❤️❤️❤️
Hahaha Im glad you said that :D I wanted the video to be as authentic as possible. Oh yea the good ol days
Ohh some good old memories.. Thank you
Glad to hear that! Thank you for watching 😃
This place is like the remains of the old century and set in a very dystopian future
Dark philosophy, lol
Haha well said my friend! There is reason I had to film this Arcade! Just saying!
My dream life is going to arcade to play rhythm games or gundam on my way home after work.
Nice! They are very popular in Japan! People are crazy good at playing!
I’m really glad Round 1’s been bringing over some of their Nesica Live cabinets to the US. Even if there’s only a couple cabs, they’ve got a really wide variety of old games as well as some indies such as Skullgirls and Akatsuki Blitzkamf. Really disappointed my local Round 1 doesn’t have any, and the fighting game section it did have shrunk dramatically since it opened.
Ive never played Akatsuki Blitzkamf but it looks awesome...
@@RetroMoments Blitzkamf is PC freeware and the arcade version can be emulated with online multiplayer via Flycast + Fightcade, I definitely recommend giving it a try. There's a lot of depth and room for mastery, but it's a mechanically simple game that's easy to pick up and start playing. Also you can play as a tank.
aweeeeeeeeeesome video! KOF by NEO GEO was very famous here at Sao Paulo - Brazil! good times. thanks for the video
Thank you Alex :D
I notice some of these fighting games only have 1 control setup. Is the screen on the other side player two?
Exactly. You play against the person on the other side.
Man Congratulations on the filming I really liked this Arcade Japan is the birthplace of electronic fun.
Thank you! Glad you liked it. I just filmed another old Japanese arcade here in town. Stay tuned :D
Used to go to Arcade in the late 1980s and early 1990s (exactly between 1986-1997). Good old days.
Good old days never die.
Oh my gosh! This place looks like heaven!!!
Its heaven on earth!
Haven't been to this one yet but in Akihabara there are alot of awesome arcades. I love Japan! Awesome video!!!
Oh yea! If you are in Akihabara you should visit HEY and Mikado! Amazing arcades!
@@RetroMoments I think I've been to mikado. Haven't been to HEY yet. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@jinkazuya22 Cool! Definitely give a visit to HEY as well. You wont be dissapointed!
It's a six minute walk from Nagoya Station, which makes it a great choice if you're coming from outside of Nagoya via Shinkansen.
Yes, its pretty close to Nagoya Station! Have you been here?
Absolutely beautiful my friend. Here in my country places like this are fading away unfortunately.😞
But great video men, thanks.
Thank you. Glad you liked it! Which country are you from? Always interesting to hear.
Stay tuned for more arcade videos. New one coming today :D
@5:15
when you get to a place like that, love seeing the unorthodox
Haha oh yea, I agree!
I believe a player called NMT got the twinkle star sprites world record on that cabinet
Really!? Thats very cool information! Thanks!
Bring back the old days, when I was six in 1996 that's my first time visit Japan. I remember the hype of Kof 1996
Wow! That must've been cool to see. KOF96 was huge. A big leap after 95 with faster gameplay, cooler combos and better pixelart!
@@RetroMoments yes, I saw the poster and billboards everywhere at subway, gamestore, etc. Damn that was so cool, Im still remember the ambience and the artwork is awesome
What a time to be there. So cool. Would've been great to find some footage of Tokyo back then.
yea the perfect place to game so authentic
Yep! Doesnt get better than this!
I swear I had a dream being in a place like this multiple times. I don’t know why.
I know why! Because you need to get to one :D
Nice and different scene. As always great video! 💯

Wished i had this back home honestly the games they got is mostly freaking crane game japan gets all the fun stuff XD
Believe me, all the fun things can be found in Japan!
Dude, only ¥50 to play the classics! I would have started at Street Fighter Zero/Alpha 3 and made the rounds finishing with the CAVE shooters. Q Box is the type of joint to spend with the most devout of gamer friends. Cheers!
Yea I was so surpised to see this too haha. Seems like theres really friendly people in there too. I might go back and ask if someone wants to play some Street Fighter :D
The CAVE shooters in the video are:
DodonPachi Daioujou
DodonPachi Daifukkatsu
Mushihime-Sama Futari
Those are tough shooters (for beginners of course). Saw the "Daioujou" one in my local arcade, and also my brother played the PS2 port of it.
Later on, I found Fate: Unlimited Codes for the PS2 that I bought.
Have you played this game?
Capcom all stars : code holders ???
I've played the PSP version. It's so~~ good. I don't know it's good or not as a fighting game since I'm not a fighting game expert. But as a Fate series fan, it's a must try.

Just a night? Are you sure about that?
5:05 dude there are lots of fighting game you have never heard about XD
Haha nah, I know most ones that were released in Europe. However, Ive been mostly sticking to SNK fighters. Especially in recent years.
This game (Unlimited Codes) was never released outside Japan…
very bring back memories
Love hearing that! Enjoy!
Some video games i stil play on my ps4 very missing the old days
Nice! Its a great thing they release older games for newer consoles. Some of these games are timeless.
never forget our childhood even though the era is modern as it is today because we won't be able to go back to that time again
We wont be able to go back in time no, but playing older games on original hardware certainly brings the nostalgic feelings to its full potential.
Theres a bar/arcade in my area in the USA that has these japanese style blast city cabinets. Theyre so legit but the people have broken the joysticks and buttons on the two machines I used. I fired up Street Fighter 3, 19xx, and Gigawing. The screens looked amazing.
Yea the Blast City cabs are awesome. We have them at the arcades in Europe as well, with the same issue as you just said xD
And guess what... In Japan the sticks are perfect on most of them.
This one of the places I would like to visit if I go to Japan next year.

Yea I noticed when editing the video, but thanks :D Oh yea, its not as strong as in the 90's of course. But Im glad its still going. Oh yes, love the Dreamcast and thats also something that brings a smile to my face.
I also want to make another correction. In Japan, this game is called Street Fighter Zero 3. In Japan, it was known as the Zero series, but in USA was known as the "Alpha" series. They are both the same identical games, just different name versions for the specific region.
Great video mate 😊
Thank you my friend 😃
My childhood i can cray why i played in arcade in 1990
Oh yes. The prime time!
I love this arcade!
Me too!
Do you live in Japan? What time was it when you filmed this?
On and off! About 2-3 months per year.
It was like 11:30 pm!
That s the project I wanna make an arcade station with babifoot and billiard and pin ball machines like Amazone and Panthera !
Time flies, i used to think wanna come to japan to experience the latest arcade game Gundam vs Gundam maxi boost, but i just don't know where to find this arcade game, it's a very fun game to play.
You know? Sometimes i think it's better to play fighting game in a real arcade machine than our modern console playstation or PC.
Oh I see Maxi Boost everywhere still. I just recorded another local arcade here in Japan. They had Maxi Boost. Stay tuned for that video!
Oh definitely! Its way better playing with proper sticks and a machine that was built for a specific game.
This place looks like heaven.
You know it is!
Fantastiskt! Fullsmockat med härliga spel och CRT
Eller hur! Fantastiskt att se detta! Speciellt eftersom jag själv älskar fighting spel!
好怀念90年代的街机厅，现在都没什么街机厅了，都在家玩手机电脑游戏主机了。
Some of these games displayed here I have on Switch, including Street Fighter Alpha 3 (you had passed it but I was able to recognize the score display), Street Fighter III Third Strike, and Vampire Savior (the above mentioned Street Fighter games were on the 30th Anniversary Collection, and Vampire Savior was on Capcom Fighting Collection)
Glad to hear these old fighters are still being played on the Switch. Timeless games!
I wonder if they are using actual PCBs. There’s an arcade near where I live but everything’s emulated via MAME to a cabinet shell.
Yea Ive noticed most arcades in American and Europe using some kind of emulation.
I would guess that this arcade uses actual PCBs.
They are definitely using actual PCBs, the record holders would notice and complain if they didn't since outside of any legality concerns, emulation is not particularly good for (among others) the 3rd generation Cave hardware shown in the video. This game center and its sister one Q2 is kind of legendary in shooting game circles for being where most of the records in the Nagoya area are set (IIRC CUE is also around there somewhere?)
Garou Densetsu Special & SD Gundam🥰
Games you could never get tired of!
Big Respect !!!
Thanks for watching! More arcade videos soon :D
Reminds me of those underground HK TV Game centres.
Oh yea! Japanese people keep it authentic.
Literally paradise on Earth
You got it!
Dude. . . I know it´s not about this particular thing but man, those are some clean streets, like god damn!
Haha oh yea. I've actually mentioned that in a previous video. It really is amazing. Whats more amazing is that there are no trash cans. Meaning its in the culture to carry around your trash.
I can only imagine the backpain you will experience, after sitting for a few hours on that stool :D
Haha yea! Important to take breaks in-between! Good thing you can socialize. People are really friendly there!
knowing how japan is
i hope they keep these around for their due 100 years
Honestly, its not impossible :D
I wish i hav an arcade lik this in my country wher i can chill on a fri evening after work...arcade in singapore are now all playing for ticket game, it sux...this is the real type of arcade i grew up with
So many fighting/shmups Arcades there 😮
In Indonesia mostly Arcades are located in highest floor, inside Mall building. Anyway great video!
Thats whats popular in Japan! 😃
Indonesian arcades have retro games too?
Thank you! More Arcade videos from Japan coming!
very interesting to see all of the arcade machines are in English. Japanese people have fully embraced the language it seems.
Yea, I agree. Usually, Japanese people are fine with having menus in English. Its been like that since the late 80s.
Looks awesome😮
You know it is! Authentic arcade in Japan. Not many left now...
The good old days ❤️...
You know it!
In case you missed it, there was also En-Eins Perfektewelt Anastasis. It's a sequel to Akatsuki Blitzkampf :)
That game is being broadcasted on Kouhatsu!
Thanks! Where in the video did you see it?
Had to google the title. Looks like an awesome fighting game. Never seen it before.
2:43 !
would love to have one of those arcade machines to put some games on and play with my (zero) friends in my area
Me too! Oh its arcade games. You could play with anyone. Even your neighbour :D
interesting how uniform all the cabinets are. too maximize space
Yes! Japanese people always think about space when doing things.
