Good arcades in Sendai and Tokyo?

Post by FullMetalCar »

Hey guys, long time lurker here. I'm heading to Japan to visit my sister up in the Sendai area and I'm going to have some spare time during the days when she's working so I'm wondering if any good arcades are around there. I want to try out some of the cave shmups that haven't been released for 360 (primarily MMP). Also looking to try and improve my mediocre Taokaka in BBCS, so if there's any good spots for that as well, I'd love to know!

I'm also gonna be spending some time in Tokyo and I'd like to go to some arcades there, but have no clue what ones are good.

Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

You'll find the arcades in Sendai in the long malls like Clis Road. Very near the station, and you'll easily find them. The best ones tend to be these dodgy-looking underground places that are smoke-filled and cramped. You'll see the posters on the walls by the stairs, so look out for them. You should be able to find the Cave games fairly easily, especially if you ask some of the guys in the places where to find them.

For BBCS comp, go to Ikebukuro Sega GIGO.

Thanks for the info, guys! I'll definitely check out GIGO while I'm in Tokyo and I've been finding a lot of other big arcades to try out there so I should be set there.
