The video says it closed last month
It was one of the arcades on my list for when I finally get to Japan, shame it's gone, although I think the decor might have creeped the Mrs. out a bit too much

Yes, it's certainly one of the best I have visited - being a modern building there was quite a bit of open space in the main areas that created a really chilled out vibe.
Although not shown in the video, they had multiple machines for all the latest releases and a interesting classics selection.

Went to Tokyo both in 2016 and 17, I guess I should've visited them. Oh well...

Really cool place but many cabs had poor maintained screens/controls.

I guess part of the attraction was that it was a 'destination' with so much in one place.
Taito Hey or Try Tower are just as interesting, so don't feel that you missed out.
I personally like the charm of small independent arcades just as much tbh

Yes, top floor retro station closed at least. All those cabs went to Sweden.

Japan sure is fast about demolishing unused buildings in urban areas.
I got a chance to go a few weeks before closing... really awesome place, and appreciated the deluxe Sega cabs (Outrun & Space Harrier!).
The candies on the main floor were... not well maintained, lol. The retro cabs upstairs definitiely were!
