Plaza Capcom Street Fighter 2 themed

Post by richmal »

I going to Japan on 1st June :awe: and I'm trying to find if this arcade is still open.
Here is a YouTube video which I watched http://youtu.be/SZ-85xC-h58
When I try searching on google maps for plaza capcom and clicking on links or looking at the actual buildings/property I can't find this particular one.
I would love to go to this arcade if it is still open.

Oh no!
I think it's closed too :(

At least there are still other arcades/game centres which are open :)

Wow this is bittersweet. It's the first time I've heard of this Street Fighter 2 themed Plaza Capcom, and it does look pretty awesome. Such a shame it's closed now. :(

There doesn't seem to be much info on the net about the Plaza's. The reports I've read suggest they are mostly filled with UFO catchers nowadays.

Has anyone been fortunate enough to visit any with a decent selection of arcade games?
