Japan Arcade - Under New Ownership!

the setup they had last time I was there was a wired controller per screen. (this was before mvc3 came out)

Word, does anyone play over there? I’m thinking about going on Saturday for a few local games, because online is ridiculously sad.

The setup we have for MvC3 is on Xbox with an arcade style setup. There is a normal arcade panel plugged into an Xbox. So, you’ll play on normal arcade sticks (American), not wired controllers.

I’m always down from 10pm-1am (or later) on Fridays and Saturdays. I know they’re small hours, but if you happen to be there when I am, feel free to ask me anything.

Ok kool man, Ill definitely pass by sometime this weekend to get a feel of the place. Is there a certain time when most competition is over there ? What time does that plaza close ?

AE and marvel 3 japan arcade is stepping it up thanks guys!

Quick review of Japan arcade. I was only there for about 30 mins as I was having dinner with some friends at Honda-ya upstairs. They have SSF4 AE there on 2 big screens. MVC3 is right next to it on XBOX. Set up seems strange, as its been fit and modded inside an old arcade cabinet. However, the sticks seemed fine from the few games I played and management really wasn’t keeping track of the time I spent on it. Its 2 dollars for 30 mins, so you can get in as many games as you can within that time limit. Again, the equipment seemed fine, even though I’m not a fan on American sticks anymore being that this is a Japanese arcade. If anyone is interested to play some casuals I’m down to meet here.

Ugh, they charge by time?

That sucks huge ones.

have they fixed blazblue cs yet?

The paying by time isn’t so bad. If you figure each game is 50 cents, and if you and your buddy just wanna mash out as many games in a 30 min span, the price seems rather cheap. Does anyone wanna meet up this weekend for some casuals? I hate the sticks there, but xbox live is even worse. Hell I’ll pay for a full hour if enough people wanna go.

I don’t play blazblue so I didn’t check the sticks. The new ownership looked pretty attentive though.

I know this isn’t a bemani forum, but I was wondering if the pads for the DDR extreme have been fixed at Japan Arcade?

I been wanting to go, but I have to see what I will be doing Saturday.

If you do go, hit me up. I’ll probably be down to go.

What time are you usually free?

I was going to go see Battle Los Angeles with some friends that day and I am going to try to go during matinee hours lol. Shit gets expensive, got to save my quarters for Arcade Edition and KOF 13.

HEY JC, POST IN HERE! I am going to roll up there this Saturday. You going to be up there? Should I just hit you up when I am on my way over there or should we meet up at a certain time? I am trying to get some competition in there man, whenever I go it is pretty empty.

@Confucious: I am down, just name the time and I will roll up there. I don’t want to be there when the arcade is empty.

GGs JC. I suck at AE.

Yo sorry guys, I had some friends down and they wanted to just play MVC3 at my pad. I’m down to meet later today if you guys are still down to play some games? I ll check the thread later to confirm.

I am not down to play today, sorry.

I’m very impressed at how much this arcade has improved.

Also, wtf korean market

Visited this place last week! Arcade was pretty sick but it was a ghost town. Would be good if this became a spot to play iMho’-'a
