Pingmag has an article about the book Arcade Mania. Actually it’s mostly an interview with one of the creators. The book is apparently about arcade machine history and culture in Japan. There is also a whole chapter about fighting games. It was already released in Japan a month ago and will come to the US in late December. Amazon already got it for preoder. Interestingly enough Amazon UK says it’s released in Europe this week.

Some guy named Daigo Umehara is also featured in there.

Pingmag also had another nice article a few months ago about vintage gaming bars in Japan.

I have a japanese copy. It’s a pretty fun read. Each chapter is a different aspect of a Japanese arcade. I recommend it.
