Where do Japanese arcade enthusiasts post?

Post by tzakiel »

With the amount of pcbs, cabinets and parts sold on YAJ I am wondering where Japanese users post in their language about arcade cabinets and games? Is there some sort of site or yahoo group that's the main one for them? A Japanese version of arcade otaku?

I'm learning to read Japanese so might as well find an interesting topic.

a lot of avid retro game and cab collectors are active on Twitter since they can use nicknames or aliases there.

Any chance you could source an Akai Katana Limited Edition Home kit?

Massive finders fee for you if you can :)

Japanese collectors generally don't post their WTB or FS lists - it is seen as bad manners.

Fair enough. I was hoping that someone had contacts they could ask personally.
