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

This is how arcades should've evolved worldwide.

Love how the Japanese keep arcade culture alive.

It's like a modern museum...

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!

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

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

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

This place is paradise

True Paradise.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Heaven! LOL

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

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.

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

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.

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.
