Arcade Otaku - アーケード オタク

This is awesome-- I had no idea Mikado had fans abroad. Though I guess if any of you "Arcade Otaku" ever came here to Japan, Mikado would be on the top of your list.

I can't wait until Mikado opens back up when things get any sort of normal again.... though they started opening things in Tokyo in "steps"-- now they're on Step 2 and arcades are part of "Step 3", however I happened to notice just today that my other favorite arcade in my neighborhood, Game Studio Cube in Koenji, was open in full force. They just had clear plastic dividers between all the games... I'm not sure how to feel because I'm rooting for arcades to pull through but I'm not rooting for corona to continue to ruin everything.

In any case, best of luck to Mikado Europe, hope to visit in the future!

Thanks

I’ll do my best to keep the dream alive somehow

Well, finally Mikado is open to the public

I call it , “We are now at stage 0.2 “ and 50% of what Mikado will be at the end

Too much work to do yet .

But yes, step by step everything is working fine as it should .

Stage 0.2 update was installing these beauties

Spy Hunter cockpit
Virtua Racing 4 players
Space Harrier DX
Out Run DX

My friend Goiko playing this awesome game the first day we received it


Videos are always nice

And here the 50% work in progress


Can’t wait to see all the cabinets fired up


Literally, I don’t have space for installing the 10 x Sega Aero Tables I thought in the beginning

So, some cabinets will have to go

Looks amazing @Rocco, great work on getting everything in there and all fixed up. Can't wait to see this place hopping with people once open. Trying to plan a trip late this year to swing by and check it out!

Btw, if you have an extra Aero Table let me know... been looking for one with no luck.
