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.

[@RaPhael_Man.]

RESPECT . THANK YOU FOR JAPAN .

[@japanpov]

Thanks👍

[@deathstar9892]

Love how the Japanese keep arcade culture alive.

[@31GRoom]

I am so glad I’m ready to go to 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.

[@mentallica7751]

This place is paradise

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

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

[@lucerodj11]

mostly because there are too many entertainment alternatives..

[@arisumego]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@kevransted9452]

Gaming heaven. I need to visit Japan.

[@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

[@luisreyes1963]

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

[@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.

[@BboySalamon]

True Paradise.

[@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.

[@Geekplaysbronks]

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

[@japanpov]

Thanks🙏🎉

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@MaxwellsUnearthly]

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

[@japanpov]

Have fun!

[@fumiagu]

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

[@japanpov]

Thank you too!

[@Darksoul-qv9bp]

just amazing thank you for sharing it !!

[@japanpov]

Thanks and glad you enjoyed😆

[@riochen1821]

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

[@Makkkk11111]

I love it🕹️ nostalgic✨

[@jahedbenbarka9008]

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

[@japanpov]

Always we're welcome👍

[@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!

[@arcadegamesoldschool9601]

Amazing beautiful arcade like I would love to see here

[@japanpov]

Thank you!

[@MyDesigan]

Of course japan will have the best arcades

[@fridelikakurnia6477]

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

[@illprox9679]

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

[@Digitalgaming]

Heaven

[@notundermywatch3163]

How can a place like this be so damn clean

[@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..

[@konosaki]

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

[@MemeWarriorz]

America has Casino machines, Japan has Arcade machines.

[@Ghostofenzo]

Speaks volumes doesn’t it? 😅

[@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?

[@ronisonironman]

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

[@japanpov]

Thank you too.

[@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

[@mvagusta]

My fav arcade! HEY!

[@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

[@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!

[@ronronsen6642]

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

[@japanpov]

Great, enjoy!

[@segascott87]

This is my idea of heaven

[@longplayarchive]

Ah this is so cool

[@japanpov]

Thank you👍

[@dirkboon3296]

man.. i would love one of those Egret cabs

[@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

[@spygorilla]

🇯🇵🤝🇯🇵

[@mariohenandez9009]

Crazy taxi that's what I'm talking about

[@koronaentertainment5474]

Cool place...

[@soso-bf2nj]

满满都是回忆啊，泪目…

[@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.

[@fnonaka]

I love that 6:30 game! Virtual on!

[@Hypno-Swag]

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

[@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!

[@braveinsanity6843]

Was shocked to see all the single stick fighting games. Where's the fun in playing the computer?! Absolutely awesome though. I'd sell my soul and a testicle to run an arcade.

[@isamuominae]

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

[@tropicalbeach9225]

that game was released for the Nintendo Wii!!

[@RICKEYDD]

thst electric bill must be SKY HIGH

[@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 :(

[@Foucco]

The heaven

[@uhhh_adam]

Look at all that Taito Egret

[@journeymanX]

Really wreck it ralph 3 should happen at a tokyo arcade

[@raheelsiddiq1057]

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

[@jimyqqq]

In Japan, Guilty Gear is their first choice

[@cradlesrift9095]

either that or street fighter

[@yours_truly_]

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

[@内山あきやす-l8e]

やっぱり 家庭用ゲーム機のゲームより ゲームセンターのゲームの方が 迫力があるね！

[@paoloidolo8850]

Dream....!!!

[@japanpov]

Thanks🎉

[@OlympoSportClub]

nice

[@retrogamer9999]

That's a lot of fighting games

[@이연서-i3z]

그리운 오락실

[@Qwertle445-rf6vt]

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

[@saltyt9683]

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

[@Neo-R.]

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

[@psiga]

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

[@SuperGGLOL]

They sure love their fighting games. Thank god otherwise there would be no tekken.

[@zZiL341yRj736]

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.

[@xanderlee4733]

Heaven! LOL

[@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.

[@eduardocastillo2237]

Many of these games i playing in my cell too

[@japanpov]

Great, you're literally arcade gamer!

[@jaohgood6481]

Maybe it’s just me but the guy saying excuses bruh sounds like Justin Wong 😂

[@japanpov]

haha😅

[@kbrickorion2960]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@christopherdoyle8081]

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

[@GreplayTv]

only in Japan.........

[@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 !

[@jeffvedana5764]

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

[@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

[@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

[@akufan]

It's too bad they don't have many fighting games...

[@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?

[@nifftbatuff676]

Powered by MAME.😂😂😂😂

[@DD-rx6jv]

NOS ANOS 90 OS JOGOS DE "NAVINHA" ERAM SURREAIS DE BOM.... PENA QUE OS CONSOLES DA ÉPOCA NÃO SUPORTAVAM ESSES GAMES!!!!!

[@TheSoulLinked]

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

[@wiwitrada7616]

Denjin makai

[@MikeFields83]

Not ONE mortal kombat arcade?!

[@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!

[@julealgon]

Whoever filmed this really likes fighting games... got boring after av while seeing the same street fighter cabinets over and over.

[@Kingbeef7905]

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

[@AirKangLocker]

shut up and take my money
