Life in Japan - Pictures galore !! Arcades, Temples, Rainy days, etc

[GaijinPunch]

I love seeing elderly people in the arcades instead of behind the Pachinko machine.

Go to the porno mahjong floor. That's where they gather.

Do arcades still have floors with adult orientated Mahjong games? I've seen a lot playing Mahjong Fight Club and MJ4 but I struggle to find any decent arcades that have more then 1 adult mahjong game. :crying:

[Yakumo]

Yes, they do but not as many as there used to be. One of my fave indi arcades has the adult mahjong stuff on the first floor along with all the driving games and coin machines while all the kick arse stuff is upstairs.

Is that in the Round 1? I played Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 against three Japanese guys there - and I won. After that they walked away pretty fast and looked at me like I was an alien, no chance for another duel I guessed :P

As for interesting cabs, I think the Densha de GO ones are slowly vanishing too?! I was only able to spot one in whole Japan, a DDGO 2 cab in Nakano. Nothing else there (and I entered every GeeSen I spotted), I thought there might be some Shinkansen cabs or so as the Wii version isn't too out of mind yet.

[GaijinPunch]

The large ones that have a big print club / UFO catcher base probably don't, but the small ones usually do. The one I frequented in Akasaka (which shut down) did, Shibuya Kaikan, all kinds of shit in Shinjuku, etc. all have them.

Is there anywhere in Japan with an original Daytona? Every place I knwo only has the 2nd game.

Same here in Rio. :crying: I don't understand why people got rid of them, since they were so profitable. It was the peak of multiplayer arcade racing!

Anyway, i'm playing it on the Nebula M2 emulator. It still has some bugs (some places with invisible walls, colors not right), but i would say it's 95% done.

[Yakumo]

I'd play it on the emulator too if I could but my PC is just so old. It can't even run a N64 emulator at a decent speed.

Thats funny. Here in the U.S. it's real easy to find an arcade with dayton usa machine, despite how dead that market is here. But as for part 2, never been to arcade that has it.

[Yakumo]

well in that case think yourself lucky. I long for the days of multiplayer Daytona. Sure, the multi player Out Run SP in the cars is cool but it just doesn't have the same feel as what Daytona did.

Daytona Dinosaur Canyon course = best multiplayer course of ever!

From my recent trip to Osaka:

Yeah they are! Too bad i went in the morning since i only had access to the indoor baths (men switch with women for the indoor/outdoor areas at noon)...

Kirin Milk Tea... I miss it so hard!! °_°

[drakon]

Took this picture in a local arcade, it was just too hilarious.



He was actually sticking to the left side of the road, doing 70mph and heavily breaking for every corner while playing Initial D 4. Needless to say, he wasn't rewarded for his safe driving.

same thing happened when I got my mom to play need for speed 2 on my computer back in 199x. I'm surprised the game didn't lower her insurance rate.

Those sushis sure look tasty! If only that was on the menu for my family gatherings...:rolleyes:

[GaijinPunch]

I like the fried chicken and weiner plate. Most people don't know that it is a traditional Japanese dish, quite often found with Sushi. Since back in the Muromachi Era!
