Stockholm, Sweden - Supermotaros arcade cafe

Post by sven666 »

So there is a new Japan-style arcade/videogameshop/cafe place thats just opened up in Stockholm, Sweden.

It is an awesome place and a fantastic initiative so heres some info about it (please note i have no stake in this store, just a fan!).

Location: Hantverkaregatan 90, stockholm. (copy/paste into google maps for direct hit)
how to get there: walk (its close to the city centre), take the subway to station "Fridhemsplan" and get out of the exit "fridhemsgatan/drottningholmsvägen" and its a 50m walk.

what do they have: fully stocked retro/new gameshop (nes/snes/neogeo/saturn etc etc), small cafe, arcade with 9 japanese sitdown cabinets - 5 credits for 20SEK (~€2).
at their disposal they have just about every shmup PCB there is and a few VS fighters and various platform/action games, lets just say you wont be dissapointed with the selection nor will you be stuck playing "mutation nation" on a wonky screen with a bad stick ;)

some pics:
entrance from the street, no signs yet.

register with japanese baggystyle gamesshelf and a raritys in the counter.

oversight of the store, grows every day.
Image

console gaming corner.
Image

cafe part..
Image

arcadegames!
Image

dodonpachi difukkatsu black label, deathsmiles, metal slug 2 and dolphin blue..
Image

closerup, cabs are all in great condition
Image

other side: ESPrade, raiden fighters 2, strikers 1945 and mr driller
Image

the owner alex and myself discussing games.

if youre in stockholm you definetly want to visit this place!!
sadly I live on the other side of the country but will make a trek every once in a while, will post here when I do!
everyone else feel free to use this thread to arrange meetups or request games :)

Damn it! I wasn't sure when during the weekend you were coming Sven (I was the one talking to you the week before and playing loads of Deathsmiles), and I had to go to Uppsala saturday :( Hope you can bring them with you some other time! I'm dying to try both of them.

Anyways, I'm usually there 2-3 times a week, after 17:00 on weekdays since it's conveniently on my way home from work. I'm the guy playing Deathsmiles or Tekken 6 against the owner. :)

Well that looks simply awesome. Didn't think anyone would open something like this in Sweden tbh.

Sadly I still live far away. Is it open during the summertime (may have to take an extra trip for the next vacation)?

Edit: I don't know how many hands it has changed since but I'm pretty sure I've originally sold that mariobox through Tradera (it has the exact same dents) :lol:

Wohoo, (almost) necro-bump!
I'm also a frequent visitor of this place. Usually stop by 2-3 times a week.
You'll probably find me sitting by Daifukkatsu Black Label or Battle Garegga. Fuckin' awesome to have those two incredible games right by each other.
Btw, sven... just reached 204 bil with Power... so close. :P

The SuperMotaro arcade café held a small arcade meet yesterday. Last time they held a meetup there were about 30 participants, but this time, probably due to late listing, we were only a few brave souls that outfaced the cold february night. Anyway, I brought my camera with me and recorded a few minutes of gameplay from our own Eaglet. Click the image below or this link to watch the video.

*hides in a corner from the shame of playing so poorly*
At 3 min... :oops:


Just wanted to let everybody here know that we (that is; the Society for Advancement of Swedish Shmup-Playing, SASSP) are playing up some steam every Wednesday and Saturday evening.
If any of you jolly fellows are passing by and would like to join us; please do!

Are you normally open next week?

all day erry day lololol

No, seriously;
Tuesday - Sunday: 11:00 - 19:00

but every weekend is basically Special Exception Time (where we don't close the store until everybody's left).
No construction next week (except for maybe a Suzo 500 transplant). :)


I would suggest that you time your visit to a Wednesday or Saturday if you only have one day. That's when you'll have the largest concentration of shmuppers there.
