When in Akihabara, there are a lot of arcades to choose from and most of them offer a wide variety of games that'll keep you playing for hours. There's one arcade though, that stands apart from the rest as the best in town, and that's Taito HEY!

out of all the arcade closures during the last 2.5 years, I'm glad HEY is still going strong

Indeed, one of the former Sega arcades was announced to be closing today. It's a damn shame.

Never get tired of seeing the floor with all the STGs it always hypes me up. Thanks for making these you’ve been on a tear lately. I have a few people now waiting for me to visit Japan and I can’t wait until it’s the right time to go. You can bet I’ll want to be stopping here.

All these new videos are great quality Jim. Almost feels like I’m watching a tv show about awesome places in Tokyo. More on camera time from you too! Sincerely loving them. You keep postin, we’ll keep watchin!

That second floor with the shoot-em-ups... 🥰

@user-dd6on5cr3u 2 года назад

Kinda bummed to not see any footage of the rhythm game cabinets or more of the 4th floor as that stuff is the most “Japan-exclusive” arcade gaming we don’t see here in the west but love these arcade tours and looking forward to more vids! Awesome t-shirt too!

@billymerritt420 2 года назад

Slightly off topic, but you passed along great information here. When you started naming off other arcades I recognized those names, but not as arcades. I watch the IIDX Beatmaina tournament and didn't realize the teams were named/sponsored by the local arcades. Makes perfect sense, I just didn't put two and two together.

Great video Jim. I love Mikado but Taito Hey is still my favourite arcade in Tokyo I just hope they can survive until tourists are allowed to return I would love to visit one more time.

@largesmallworld 2 года назад

Hey is awesome. Would visit almost every night playing Super Space Fortress Macross or R-type. The Japanese who frequent this arcade are crazy good too. On a side note this arcade was featured in the anime Steins;Gate 0

@djchac5245 2 года назад

Always love the arcade tours, and doubly so when it's one that's so focused on good games as opposed to claw machines and the like. While I own the PCBs for most of the heavy hitter shmups that I've wanted at this point, there's just something about the spectacle of seeing it all set up in a dimly lit arcade that never loses its appeal.

@Konuvis 2 года назад

I love the Taito arcade I can always spend the whole day there, always try to play Darius burst, initial D and way more. Looks like they added dividers since 2019.

@TASTomusan 2 года назад

I was there, last May 19th and 20th of 2018 - 4 years ago before my Senior High graduation. However, only for "window arcade shopping" - it's called for only looking arcade cabinets (at any game), not for playing; similar to shopping in a supermarket or department store, but not buying anything else, just pure product viewings. Another reason why (for doing window arcade shopping) is due to no more 100 Yen coins in my pocket (limited budgeting), I just decided to stop playing from one of Sega's game centers, also in Akihabara. Unfortunately, due to time constraints (and due to 3 days only for country visit visa), I and my mom had to go somewhere else (like going to Ofuna area in Kanagawa Prefecture) in the early evening for resting, although it was the best experience to visit game centers in Japan. Maybe someday, I'll come back there for more (or somewhere in Japan), who knows?

@Bazzickles 2 года назад

HEY arcade was definitely my favourite arcade to visit during my Japan trips. The only thing that's lacking is there rhythm game section is a bit on the small side comparing to other arcades around

Street Fighter The Movie for sure. It’s a bit of a rarity. Definitely not the best of the SF series but it’s still fun. I’m a big JCVD fan. Fighting games and beat ‘em ups and shmups are what pumps through my veins lol. Excellent video sir once again.

@Grandmastergav86 2 года назад

The question I have to ask, how are these places sustainable? They're always pretty much deserted lmao

@mooncaketin 2 года назад

The lower floors always seem to be just crane games (the sign outside this one says "1F Crane Game"), so I assume they get enough traffic from teenage girls, little kids, etc. to make up for the lack of traffic to the floors with the retro arcade games.

2:18 So I did notice the setup they have for Darius and I keep thinking we really don't have a lot of things going around on showcase style cabinets like you do with fighters. Do you think this would be a cool concept to try in the states, especially since EXA is a building brand? Might do it at home though.
