    Just some additional info, Game in Ebisen is famous in Japan for Serious Retro Gamers. The main purpose of for for people for submitting World Records in score attacks for Shmups. Which is why a lot of extra care is put in the condition of cabinets and the environment of the game center.
    Thank you for making the video!

    It looks, from his smile, like you made that arcade owner’s day featuring his arcade.
    That’s really awesome!
    I’d definitely welcome more arcade videos alongside the usual content. Maybe a field trip to arcade Betty sometime, near the Noto peninsula? I found out about that one through an anime (insomniacs after school) and saw heartbreaking photos of their setup after the earthquake.

    Haven't heard of this one ! I *love* SHMUPS, so I will definitely check this out soon. I'm usually i'm just parked in Akihabara's HEY! at all times, as they have a metric-ton of SHMUP's from old to new. The game cabinets there aren't set to silent, but they all do have headphone jacks and they provide several racks of headphones you can grab and use! So you don't have to bring your own. Though i do, pro-tip: Buy a 3.5mm to BT adapter so you can just use your noise cancelling wireless BT headsets for maximum concentration on the cabinet you're playing on. What I also like about HEY! is that they've retrofitted all their cabinets with IC card readers so you can just pay with SUICA, and not have to bother with small-change :)

    • @4amLaundry
      @4amLaundry  4 місяці тому

      Love Hey! But wanted to make videos about the lesser known little game centers around Tokyo, there's a bunch of ones like this and imo they're all unique in their own way.
      Def making a video on Hey at some point tho it's a legendary place.
      The Suica system always makes me spend so much tho it's super dangerous haha

    Best advice someone told me when i was in japan before you leave arcade most have a sign advertising an app. this app shows
    You most locations of arcades, retro, etc plus shows you which ones work or need maintenance etc, very handy. I found so many arcade places when i was there from the 80s which seemed very limited to find.

  • @svengaming3784
    @svengaming3784 4 місяці тому

    So the string thing:
    If I'm guessing, it's probably a competitive challenge thing where you can only move up and down. Since the arcade can record your runs, I imagine it's some sort of nuzlocke scenario

    Such a cool little gem, would love to visit on my next trip to Japan :)
    Don't know for certain, but string may have been for screen testing/alignment and was left on by mistake? Can't think of a game that would need it as a guide during play
    The SNK MVS Arcade machines (as well as the home AES) had a headphone jack on the front so you could play with headphones. Clearly a competitive edge to be had in some cases, but love the immersion you can achieve that way and will be hooking up my AES to headphones most of the time :)

      From what I see at these game centers is they have their own local supply of them. Never new but there are still places that deal in parts for these machines. Usually it's Sega/Gigo or Taito themselves as they own the Game Centers.
      Like I said in the video tho, no idea where a locally owned place like this gets the parts but I'm sure they'd have some insider knowledge. Good question to ask next time tho.
