A Look into the Crazy Thriving Japanese Arcade Scene

Looks like it'll be well worth watching when it comes out. And the arcade games illustrated in the blog look like a lot of fun!
 
I spent 4 years in Japan. I was always amazed at how many arcades there were, and how full of people they were. It's not like here where the only arcades you find are "Chucky Cheese". My favorite game to play was 19XX. Thats a game i would love to have. A Japanese 19XX they show them in that video.
 
I wish some of this stuff could hit the few arcade places we have left...it's so sad that no one wants to go out for games anymore...
 
We went to Tokyo recently and made our way to a huge arcade in Akihabara. It was incredible. So much stuff that I've never seen here in the States.

Not a whole lot to add other than it was very cool.

Been there, you should have made your way down to Roppongi District. I went there for 3 days while stationed in Misawa, Japan. I climbed Mt Fuji, partied in Roppongi, checked out Akihabara. It was fun but Tokyo in July is HOT!
