My two soul mates. Games and food. Which presented both in this upload. I'm impressed and have mad respect for Japan in general. You guys try very hard to preserve your culture in terms of gaming from digital to non digital retro games. Here in the U.S. it seems we do not try to preserve anything when it comes to gaming, and those of who do try have to jump through hoops, and heaven forbid we some how trigger or "trigger" the big wigs at the top. Not to mention it does not help it seems more developer(s) and/or publishers hate their original work. Not sure what is going with with coin slot arcade machines fully here in US though. Saw a Terminator arcade game with dual Uzi guns that had a pretty good kick back was selling $200 or less on Etsy a while back. Missed my chance to snag it.
I'm an American and I was born in America the one thing I noticed about the Japanese arcades is that they're actually clean everybody is civilized you don't have to worry about food all over the floor
There's a anime called High Score Girl that is about 90s gaming, it'll give you full on nostalgia vibes. There's so many shots in it that look like they're directly from the Game Center Royal...it's not a bad series if you can like a little anime.
I very much miss arcades. Fighting games, beatem ups, light gun, elaborate racing game setups....so much fun. Those retro mechanical arcade games look so cool, too. If i ever visit Japan, i definitely have to go to these arcades, and cafe Y. I'd love to meet mom.
These are the places I NEED to visit when I take my firdt holidays to Japan in 2 years, it's what I would have loved as a kid, thank you for showing this off to us in this great video! 😎💜
Wow the production value and editing on these videos has really improved. Well done! I can't wait to go to Japan again and play some more arcade games, Gundam Versus for the win~
I love that the owner of Elemeka Laboratory is such an aficionado of the mechanical arcade games of yore that he's designing his own. I've come across a few of these kind of games at penny arcades in the States, and they've always been so intriguing and genuinely fun. I'd love to see a renaissance of like-minded engineers finding a community around designing new games like these, and bringing back old ones. If I'm ever in Osaka, I will visit!
I lived in Japan from 1985 to 1988, which I would say was the high point for arcades in Japan. I taught English in Nagasaki. Many times I would go to the arcade with my students after class in the evening. My favorite games were R-Type, Contra, Altered Beast, and Galaga. I got pretty good at all of those. I'm glad to see some of the arcades have survived in Japan.
The only thing that's a little sad about us Americans and I'm not ashamed of most of us are ignorant the only reason most Americans from the 90s even new chip and even exist was because of all the video games and anime
Ah, so you are a man of arcade culture as well. Though my preferred games were Street Fighter 2, Samurai Showdown and Killer Instinct. That being said, I was a little too young for arcades in the 80s, didn't get into them until my early teens in the 90s. It did not help that there was no arcade in my immediate area and could only visit them during some vacations.
The electromechanical games can be repaired, however to repair them you have to be very creative and usually have to make parts by hand which means they are very expensive to maintain unless the owner does it themselves. I have one and I have the same difficulty
I loved listening to the stories in the Mom cafe. It was so wholesome. It was also really cool to see Midway, Sega and even Nintendo used to make mechanical games before video games. It was surprising that Nintendo added sound effects to Dead Line. This game actually reminds me of Steel Diver on the 3DS!
love that original macross cabinet. belive it or not only one in the wild of US i was able to find and play was in NYC when there was an arcade at penn station corridors.
What an awesome video! It was a treat to see you two have so much fun. Loved seeing all those retro arcade games, both video and mechanical. So many treasures that can't be replicated. Should you ever take a trip to Las Vegas, you have to visit the Pinball Hall of Fame. Hundreds of pinball games from the late 1930s to now, lots of mechanical games Ana curios from 1970s and before, and also a lot of video arcade games that are really rare (including the very first, Computer Space circa 1972).
Osaka is da Goat for Arcade, FGC and a lot of other awesome things of which I'm not going to tell.. It's always better to experience IRL. *sigh* maybe one Day I can visit this place but whom knows..?
@@Real-Name..Maqavoy I was expecting to find arcades all over Akihabara, but was disappointed to find that most places there had just a couple of crane games and other luck based games. I think the lockdown killed the last Sega places there. The only arcade that looked like I expected it to be was in a mall in Odaiba, but I didn't have time to go in. Ok now I'm curious about the other Osaka stuff though. I mostly knew that it's great for foodies. I'm considering traveling to Japan this year again and insider tips would be most definitely welcome - no matter how raunchy or cringe.
Epic arcade video guys :) them old arcade machines are so epic. I remember when i was a kid i use to have a Vintage Digital Derby Auto Raceway and a tomy turnin' turbo dashboard and them 1980s arcades some of them i do remember seen them here in Australia :). Gamer will all ways be a gamer no matter how old you end up to be i'm in my 50s and still a gamer ( never stop playin ).. And another epic video :) be well, be safe, be happy. Love from Australia.
Hi mrs.eats. I'm so happy that your enjoying yourself with your husband. Enjoy life to the fullest. I also like your videos. Keep making them when you get the chance.
This is so cute and edutainment tier fun. Most of these games I was way too smol to have ever tried in my little kid days. I mostly remember early 2000s video games and nostalgia. Japan is so strange. How do they make time to enjoy memory lane pleasures when they are working so much?
I own an Area 51 cabinet, and my plan is to own a DDR or ITG cabinet, some other rhythm game like Sound Voltex or Groove Coaster, alongside a MAME setup for Fighting Games and Bullet Hell games. Arcade games mean so much to me tbh. There's something about the lights, the music, the pixels, everything is just so comforting and I can get lost in an arcade for an entire day.
I remember playing that Ninja Gun when I was a kid! And that helicopter game actually looks a lot like the one that was usually found at our local airport, in the waiting lounge (back in the early 70's). The two levers were for speed of the helicopter blades (which determined how high or low you'd be flying) and the other one determined your helicopter's pitch (whether it flew forwards or backwards for flying direction), and the goal was to be able to land and take off in three increasingly more difficult landing area without crashing into the surrounding structures (metal trees or buildings). It was all contained in a large plastic globe just a little bigger than the reach of the helicopter on the pole so spectators could gather round and either marvel or laugh at your flight skills! Such great times!
When I was a little lad there was a massive arcade where I used to holiday. I do remember some EM games now. Watching you guys play them sparked some memeories inside me. I suppose that's what nostalgia is. So thank you for that.
My first time on a cabinet arcade game was a mechanical one - in Okinawa. It was in the early 70's, and the game was a mechanical submarine game similar to the gun games you played. The targets were ships, and you looked through a periscope and fired torpedoes at them. I was like, 5, and utterly entranced, and I've been fascinated by sub games ever since.
I've only been to Tokyo retro/vintage game centers, so I'm super excited to check out the Osaka area during my next trip!! As always, thank you Mrs. Eats!! (and I guess Mr. Eats too😂)
Why wasn’t I born in Japan. Could you imagine growing up there in the 90s? Damn. So many things I love from my childhood are from Japan. What a truly amazing island of people.
0:29 When I was a child we used to spend summer weekends at a local country club, it had a shabby little game room with a few arcade machines, the lineup included Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, TMNT, Dark Seal (Wizard Fire), The Simpsons, Metal Slug, etc... I didn't give it a second thought as a child but as a grownup I realize now that shabby little place had some arcade royalty xD
I've visited a handful of arcades like that in the US, but they are rare upon rare. The Pinball Museum Hall of Fame in Las Vegas has a lot of classic arcade machines. And you can find tiny arcades like The Jupiter Bar in Seattle that have held onto a handful of analog classics like 'Ice Cold Beer', a vertical climber using a steel marble. It's a lot more Pinball here in the US than anything else though.
I haven't seen or played these arcade games in a long time! Thank you for sharing, and you're both looking happy and healthy! Keep doing what makes you happy ^_^
i think one of the craziest things it 1:42, seeing a tv screen refresh rate going side to side instead of top to bottom? the super space fortress those types of games, top down ones seem to refresh from the side
Wow these are incredible! I hope more people try to make modern versions of games like this; can you imagine how many more visual tricks and special effect options there would be nowadays? Doing the artwork for something like this would be so much fun!
Gojira! Cafe Y is on my list for Osaka in July. In Las Vegas, there is a pinball museum that has the old games. The artwork on the machines is fabulous.
Ah, that マクロス game was at a nickel arcade in San Jose, CA for a while. Definitely a classic! Alas, no マクロス games ever made their way to the USA officially. The owner of Cafe Y seems super nice! Musée Mécanique in San Francisco has various mechanical arcade games, but not much of any of the Japanese games you showed in your video. Alameda, California is also home to the Pacific Pinball Museum which has various vintage pinball machines.
Pretty amazing with all the technology that went into some of these older games. I think I'm going to try making that half sandwich myself. Probably won't be as good as mom's though. Nothing beats a mothers cooking.
The plane game actually uses a practical effect called pepper's ghost which employs an angled pane of glass to reflect the physical, UV painted plane into the similarly decorated UV playfield above! Analog fun.
That cafe with the owner everyone calls mom reminds me some "hole in the wall" type places in the southern US. I would love that. If I ever get the money to viait Japan, I definitely want to go there.
I love this video. In America we used to have places like this and we still have some that have a few games left. I personally have one in my collection. When I go to Japan for the first time I want to go to a place like this but we'll probably end up in Akihaba. I mean I'm kind of tired of seeing candy cabs all the time
This was fantastic fun to watch, it looks like you two had a ball 👍😂 I remember some of these early electromechanical shadow screen games ! The DIY games are very much like Tim Hunkins (The Secret Life of...) Arcades in London and Southwold Pier 👍
If you're ever in Las Vegas, there is a Pinball Museum with MANY of these style arcade games. Physical games that predate the video era. VERY cool stuff.
There is one by Chicago. One of the biggest retro arcades in the world. They have a big building for the old and some new and even some japanese cabinets. There's a second building just for pinball.

As a child of the 80s I spent a LOT of time in arcades. They were their own little worlds and I loved every minute. Great video, thanks!
The sounds of the 90s arcade are the sound of our childhood. Pure love 💕
I'm an American and I was born in America the one thing I noticed about the Japanese arcades is that they're actually clean everybody is civilized you don't have to worry about food all over the floor
Don’t know where you were living but I never ran into those places.
Thanks Japan for exist
This is like stepping into a time machine back to the 90’s and reliving the nostalgia.
Maybe 70's would be a more accurate guess.
Maybe 20`s
So goood
お母さんが可愛いです✨
There's a anime called High Score Girl that is about 90s gaming, it'll give you full on nostalgia vibes. There's so many shots in it that look like they're directly from the Game Center Royal...it's not a bad series if you can like a little anime.

I love that the owner of Elemeka Laboratory is such an aficionado of the mechanical arcade games of yore that he's designing his own. I've come across a few of these kind of games at penny arcades in the States, and they've always been so intriguing and genuinely fun.

Thank you, for someone like me being stuck on the bed or wheelchair I can enjoy japan thru you. ❤🎉😊
The white ASTRO cabinets bring back so many memories, in my town they had them everywhere in the 90s to early mid 2000s
That electromechanical arcade is amazing. I've seen some people in the UK restoring a Sega Gun Fight lately it'd be fun to try it one day.
I lived in Japan from 1985 to 1988, which I would say was the high point for arcades in Japan. I taught English in Nagasaki.

The arcade has always been my happy place. I would love to visit Japan just for these places. ❤
Brilliant video. I used to go to many arcades when i visited Osaka. One of my favourite games was hokuto no Ken (it was a bit like street fighter!)
Wow. Mrs Eats hair is so curly and wavy. Looks Awesome.
Man, I miss arcades here in the states. Light gun games were soooooo fun! And those classic Nintendo machines are neat 😁
Same here. Time crisis and house of the dead, especially. So much fun!
The only arcades around me now are in bowling alleys and movie theaters.
Theres still arcades but now they are far between. They are more like gaming meccas nowadays
Your sarcasm during the half sandwich, I about died. 🤣
It was the best laugh I’ve had today. Legendary 😂😂😂
Yes. She did it howtobasic style.
Can you imagine how many people really played all of those vintage games? They're so beautiful
Absolutely loved this video. Love what you are doing with your hair too, looks great. Watch out for that monkey come.
love that original macross cabinet. belive it or not only one in the wild of US i was able to find and play was in NYC when there was an arcade at penn station corridors.

Osaka is referred to as "Japan's kitchen" a definite place to go if never been.
Oh wow! These are the areas of Kita-ku my wife and I usually in nearly everyday lol wild! Great video!
Those are exquisite games. I never experienced those in 90’s in USA. Special place to explore and admire.
When I finally save for a trip to Japan, I'm going to go here! This place looks awesome!
"One monkey for 5 yen! I'll come!"

Wonderful hidden gems and cool old Arcades! The analog games looked amazing. Cafe Y and Mom seems wonderful! I love your humour xD

Dynamite Deka aka Dynamite Cop aka Die Hard Arcade - what a classic.
Why wasn’t I born in Japan. Could you imagine growing up there in the 90s? Damn. So many things I love from my childhood are from Japan. What a truly amazing island of people.
Arcade was my favourite pastime, the retro jive never fails to entertain and top off the day with light snacks and drinks.😊
We have a great Retro Arcade here in Sapporo, I just love the old pinball machines
NINJA GUN!!!!
I sunk 100s of tokens into this machine at our local ShowBiz Pizza.
I loved that it was electro mechanical. Had to be 1988ish.
Amazing video, I’m always glad to see the Eats family :D
Two absolute gems! Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
Really love these recent videos about geeky stuff like that 😁👍
I recognized much, what feels pushing the buttons, especially the softest. That's a cool place.
Unreal; love you guys seem to be loving it all.

Dynamite Deka is AMAZING! That game was the reason I got a Sega Saturn (only came out on that system). Love these videos!
Amazed. Thanks from Panama city Beach, FL
went to that first arcade you showed, google maps had it in the wrong spot, and actually too me so long to find.
Amazing hairstyle.... It goes well with the arcades. I feel like I went back in time with you and Mr. Eats. Love it.
Lovely video thanks for sharing.
Wow these are incredible! I hope more people try to make modern versions of games like this; can you imagine how many more visual tricks and special effect options there would be nowadays? Doing the artwork for something like this would be so much fun!

the older non graphical arcade games are so charming and timeless

I'm planning a return trip to Japan next year and I definitely want to go there. ❤
It's so cool that the owner makes his own games!
These arcade saloons were my heaven when i was a kid, awesome place!
Those handmade arcades are a treasure! I hope the owner manages to survive somehow, because that's pure art right there....
That Arcade sure feels like the 90's to me! although I Grew up in Canada but still feels like a Time Capsule of what it looked like back then!
I love this video. In America we used to have places like this and we still have some that have a few games left. I personally have one in my collection. When I go to Japan for the first time I want to go to a place like this but we'll probably end up in Akihaba. I mean I'm kind of tired of seeing candy cabs all the time
