Shooting Snobs STG meet 2010 - TOKYO

[sven666]

yup, the snobs are getting together over in the holy land.

april 27th until may 11th for me, the others have different times but it looks like the weekend of may 1st and 2nd will be devoted to some serious shmupping!

anyone care to join? whos in Tokyo at the time?

Hey what's up dude, I am not too known here, but I live in Japan, and I am going to Tokyo in April actually. I can most likely make it, though I am not just a shmups fan, and have played just about every shmup since Gradius on NES. PM me if anything. Also, which arcade? I went to Mikado in Kabukicho and that is like shmup HEAVEN, they have mushifutari, ketsui, daiou, ddp ETC, but i heard they moved recently... Which I hope not, that location was sick.

pretty sure mikado has changed location, gaijinpunch can proboably fill us in on that.

we havent really decided on a specific time and place yet but PM me your phone number when its starting to get to that time and ill contact you once im in japan

I am wondering if Mikado will still keep all their shmup games, because I am pretty sure they had just about every top game there (that I like at least.) I heard they moved just around the same street, but I haven't been to Tokyo since February 2009.

It hasn't changed location Sven, they've just opened a second centre. Mikado Shinjuku is still there.

Wish I could join you mate, have a good one, put up some high scores those Japanese punks can't wipe off.

ah i thought they had closed the old one down.. anyways, yeah its gonna be a blast, guys gone wild!

i should be around i think, might be back in the UK for a wedding, but what with having a little one it's hard to justify getting the time out of the house.

will pm nearer the time.

cheers

Anyone going to be there earlier? I'm going to be in Tokyo from March 26th through April 1st.

I've got a thread going in OT with places I'd like to go along with this Assembler Games map.
