Hey Akihabara - Thousands of Arcade Games | 4k virtual tour /Tokyo Japan/ASMR/Japan Trip

[@simonpvp]

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

[@fwef7445]

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

[@realce666]

Yeah, better go while they last.

[@badpasters]

sadly. in the west, arcades are considered a thing of the past

[@KenMasters.]

This is how arcades should've evolved worldwide.

[@user-eh1no3yc5v]

It's like a modern museum...

[@streetfightingman4240]

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

[@dabblerblue]

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!

[@japanpov]

Thanks for sharing!

[@gamingtech12769]

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

[@japanpov]

Wow, that's awesome👍

[@ThePeacePlant]

What is the company that you bought your arcade cabinets from?

[@rayciannello2268]

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

[@japanpov]

Glad you enjoyed this actual place.

[@RaPhael_Man.]

RESPECT . THANK YOU FOR JAPAN .

[@japanpov]

Thanks👍

[@JP_is_me]

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.

[@kevransted9452]

Gaming heaven. I need to visit Japan.

[@lontongbalapondomohen]

This is heaven

[@Luis-bv5it]

In the United States there are thousands of arcade rooms, the difference is that most of them are retro.

[@XaviSpit]

That's Arcade centers is another world... It's a dream for me.

[@jahedbenbarka9008]

Cool .......... I hope visit japan

[@japanpov]

Always we're welcome👍

[@31GRoom]

I am so glad I’m ready to go to Japan

[@riochen1821]

OMG, Virtua Fighter 2 is still there. I was playing the games there 4 years ago!

[@leonardomasciadri7057]

Once upon a time, here in italy too we had some beautiful Arcade rooms...

[@japanpov]

Oh really, i didn't know but that also would be awesome place.

[@gpman6937]

sega rally days :') shame

[@jimbotron70]

Yes, but not so huge...

[@Tengeki1]

이태리에 아케이드라니 궁금하네요~

[@Terryaki045]

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.

[@Terryaki045]

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!

[@japanpov]

Thanks and glad you have experienced such a fun time here.

[@darktetsuya]

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.

[@japanpov]

Thank you for your comment. Yes, they have a wide selection of retro arcades. Please come prepared with lots of coins!

[@bongdonkey]

@@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!

[@darktetsuya]

@neogeomaster3027 oh yeah I believe it about the name-brand chains, wouldn't be surprised if they charged more.

[@darktetsuya]

@neogeomaster3027 oh wow. thanks for the insight!

[@MrDmoney156]

@neogeomaster3027 that's crazy... they really trying to get those tourist's money by jacking up the prices lol

[@deathstar9892]

Love how the Japanese keep arcade culture alive.

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

It's so quiet but late 90,s arcade used to crowded

[@lucerodj11]

mostly because there are too many entertainment alternatives..

[@florida_sucks]

idk when this was filmed but i stayed in tokyo for a while and HEY definitely gets a good amount of patrons every night

[@Darksoul-qv9bp]

just amazing thank you for sharing it !!

[@japanpov]

Thanks and glad you enjoyed😆

[@Spawn-wt6ul]

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.

[@mentallica7751]

This place is paradise

[@lancepage1914]

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.

[@fumiagu]

I used to go to this place every week. Thank you for introducing Akihabara! From Japanese.

[@japanpov]

Thank you too!

[@luisreyes1963]

Reminds me of the Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, IL. A virtual museum of games. 🕹️

[@fridelikakurnia6477]

I wish I want to go there and play Gundam Extreme VS 2 Arcade. From Indonesia... Good Gundam Player...

[@MaxwellsUnearthly]

Amazing!! I love this!! I'm planning a trip soon!!

[@japanpov]

Have fun!

[@blademaster7879]

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.

[@eduardocastillo2237]

4:33 cleopatra fortune my favorite puzzle game

[@timestampingarmy]

✅

[@ronisonironman]

Very nice! Show! I love Games Center's of Japan! Thanks my friend! BRASIL!

[@japanpov]

Thank you too.

[@konosaki]

I often visit this arcade on Fridays. This is truly a legendary arcade, especially if you are a Japanese retro gamer.

[@illprox9679]

Glad to see Gundam DX no matter how many games they make that game was fire

[@arcadegamesoldschool9601]

Amazing beautiful arcade like I would love to see here

[@japanpov]

Thank you!

[@Geekplaysbronks]

When I was a kid this kind of place was Magic for me in my country Brazil 😮😢

[@japanpov]

Thanks🙏🎉

[@ronronsen6642]

Im visiting Japan for the first time next month, im definetly checking this place out !

[@japanpov]

Great, enjoy!

[@dirkboon3296]

man.. i would love one of those Egret cabs

[@notundermywatch3163]

How can a place like this be so damn clean

[@tropicalbeach9225]

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!

[@Makkkk11111]

I love it🕹️ nostalgic✨

[@MyDesigan]

Of course japan will have the best arcades

[@DepJake]

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.

[@fnonaka]

I love that 6:30 game! Virtual on!

[@longplayarchive]

Ah this is so cool

[@japanpov]

Thank you👍

[@SSenteSS]

📛iNCREIBLE que siga el arcade en JAPON que envidia sana ,aki en España los sacaron todos una verdadera lastima

[@GatCat]

Los Angeles once had giant SEGA arcades. They are no more, but great memories.

[@tropicalbeach9225]

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!

[@segascott87]

This is my idea of heaven

[@RetroTuna]

Love Hey spent a lot of time in there, can you do a tour of Mikado that was my favourite arcade in toyko.

[@japanpov]

I filmed the place by chance, please wait a while for the upload.

[@mvagusta]

My fav arcade! HEY!

[@vengefulgod_]

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

[@koronaentertainment5474]

Cool place...

[@isamuominae]

They have Tatsunoko VS Capcom arcade, very hard find now!

[@tropicalbeach9225]

that game was released for the Nintendo Wii!!

[@edwardkicks6589]

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

[@christopherdoyle8081]

Is that a special version of Darius 2 on 2 wide screen monitors instead of 3 CRTs? 9:24

[@BboySalamon]

True Paradise.

[@Hypno-Swag]

El Dorado..... I must visit...

[@Digitalgaming]

Heaven

[@netanelaker4437]

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!

[@japanpov]

Interesting! Thank you very much too!

[@wizards-themagicalconcert5048]

Great content mate,keep it coming,subbed ! Anyone has any idea what the game at 5:15 to 5:20 is ??? Looks awesome !

[@shingenozumi905]

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.

[@japanpov]

Exactly..

[@kashif9135]

Dream to visit Japan

[@GL-GildedLining]

I wonder how many watts are pulled, to have all those cabs running at once!

[@Huey-ec1]

[@mariohenandez9009]

Crazy taxi that's what I'm talking about

[@roundnyan]

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。

[@japanpov]

ありがとうございますm(_ _)m

[@UnknownCryptics]

America has Casino machines, Japan has Arcade machines.

[@Ghostofenzo]

Speaks volumes doesn’t it? 😅

[@Blackdragon21]

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

[@christopherdoyle8081]

wow.... so many Egret IIs in there

[@raheelsiddiq1057]

Will there be Final Fight, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and WWF WRESTLEFEST in the future?

[@TML82]

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 :(

[@lsmuas]

I’m a big fan of Initial D, do you know where I can find an arcade in Japan with the game machine still?

[@TheSoulLinked]

Do you know where I can find the arcade game "Sailor Zombie" by AKB48?

[@Kingbeef7905]

Does anyone know the game at the 6:02 mark?

[@WheeledHamster]

Surprised they're still using alot of CRT TVs, must be a nightmare to maintain those.

[@jimbotron70]

Actually they are low maintenance, they could go on for decades, LCD ones are more fragile.

[@Foucco]

The heaven

[@retrogamer9999]

That's a lot of fighting games

[@paoloidolo8850]

Dream....!!!

[@japanpov]

Thanks🎉

[@Qwertle445-rf6vt]

Man I wish we had arcades were I am all we got is pizza ranch

[@mgomezmunoz92]

Which game is the one in 5:45

[@yours_truly_]

11:10 OK, I'll be in this corner here the whole night

[@robbaggio8925]

No sports game? like virtual striker?

[@OlympoSportClub]

nice

[@xanderlee4733]

Heaven! LOL

[@1moblin2]

how much is the energy bill?

[@内山あきやす-l8e]

about 100yen

[@danieljohn6523]

Bet Japanese efficient enough to offset electricity bill with solar power too

[@eduardocastillo2237]

Many of these games i playing in my cell too

[@japanpov]

Great, you're literally arcade gamer!

[@journeymanX]

Really wreck it ralph 3 should happen at a tokyo arcade

[@Neo-R.]

I'd spend a very respectful couple of hours there❤

[@PossessedGR]

Why do the cabinets with fighting games have only one fight stick?? Fighting games are supposed to be played by two players vs.

[@Ghostofenzo]

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.

[@PossessedGR]

@@Ghostofenzo Thank you for explaining! That's very cool then!

[@palpitateguy5764]

i wonder why japan has so many arcade games that doesnt get released worldwide, like they nly have the japanese version of it.

[@spygorilla]

🇯🇵🤝🇯🇵

[@eduardocastillo2237]

0:50 today i playing garou mark of the wolves in my emulator final burn alpha in my Xbox classic

[@japanpov]

Cool, home arcade is also amazing!

[@wrekman1]

Are they one player only??

[@paulw4565]

If you look above the machine some of it says 1P or 2P, for example at 3:55 the two guys are playing versus.

[@tecnisdaimondm.g9321]

Excelente 😅

[@jimyqqq]

In Japan, Guilty Gear is their first choice

[@cradlesrift9095]

either that or street fighter

[@soso-bf2nj]

满满都是回忆啊，泪目…

[@jogandotodososjogos5017]

Joguei quase todos

[@saltyt9683]

We still got KOF 95, SS II, and AOF 2 arcade machines in malls.

[@SuperGGLOL]

Back when I travelled to Tokyo with a few friends, we landed on this arcade with a smoking area in the lower floor. It had a unintentional retro, cyber-punk vibe and ofc, it smelt like sh*t. Some really cool moments in that country.

[@realce666]

It's sad because the recent anti-smoking laws definitely put a dent in the already shrinking customer base.

[@shining8235]

Amazing!!! How many arcades rooms still exist in Tokyo?

[@RICKEYDD]

thst electric bill must be SKY HIGH
