I was in Japan a couple of weeks ago on business and had the chance to visit a brand new arcade in Kawasaki. It was called "Hero's Base" A Namco Wonder Park. It was huge.

Not a classic in sight....

Lot's of redemption games. A few cool 360 degree screen shooters (About 8 balls connected together).

Here are some pics...

You got to admit, that pretty much matches the scope and coolness of all the big 80's arcades here in the US. Shows that the arcade scene is alive and well, just overseas. The games in that arcade are as cutting edge as the ones were here in the early 80's.
 
Gundam Senjo no Kizuna! I was just drooling over gameplay vids of that the other day. Would love to have some of those pods someday :D

Very nice pics. I wish I could go over sometime and check out some of the arcade scene, but I just don't have the dough ATM. It's always fun to drool and dream, though. Did you happen to see any games in the Virtual On series?

I did not, however I did not have a whole lot of time to look around. I had just finished 11 hours of meetings and I had my boss with me on the way to dinner...

I will be going back in October and am planning on staying over the weekend.. I will try and visit a bunch more arcades (They use to have some Sega Battle Arenas)...

I will post pics when I return...

Taiko DrumMaster right next to the door (on the right side) in the first pic. One day Taiko... one day you'll be mine.
 
When I was there we ran into two Sega Lands and one Namco World I think... but only played games in one or two of them.
