MR. SEATS 🙌
Mrs Eats Congratulations. 80's
This is like stepping into a time machine back to the 90’s and reliving the nostalgia.
Maybe 70's would be a more accurate guess.
Maybe 20`s
So goood
お母さんが可愛いです✨
As a child of the 80s I spent a LOT of time in arcades. They were their own little worlds and I loved every minute. Great video, thanks!
Thanks Japan for exist
I very much miss arcades. Fighting games, beatem ups, light gun, elaborate racing game setups....so much fun. Those retro mechanical arcade games look so cool, too.
If i ever visit Japan, i definitely have to go to these arcades, and cafe Y. I'd love to meet mom.
Your sarcasm during the half sandwich, I about died. 🤣
It was the best laugh I’ve had today. Legendary 😂😂😂
THAT HALF SANDWICH LOOKS SO GOOD
nah
@@corrado OH SORRY MISTER/MISS CORRADO. I FORGOT TO ADD "IN MY OPINION". I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME, DEAR SIR/MADAM. NOW F OFF
@@corrado I wasn't asking a question. Bye
@@corrado Drink your soylent, fragile redditor
Ew
So jealous of Mr. Eats. We need more happy people like you guys.
I'm an American and I was born in America the one thing I noticed about the Japanese arcades is that they're actually clean everybody is civilized you don't have to worry about food all over the floor
The arcade has always been my happy place. I would love to visit Japan just for these places. ❤
Can you imagine how many people really played all of those vintage games? They're so beautiful
"One monkey for 5 yen! I'll come!"
😂 That is treasured japanglish! 💯
Thank you, for someone like me being stuck on the bed or wheelchair I can enjoy japan thru you. ❤🎉😊
Wow. Mrs Eats hair is so curly and wavy. Looks Awesome.
I lived in Japan from 1985 to 1988, which I would say was the high point for arcades in Japan. I taught English in Nagasaki. Many times I would go to the arcade with my students after class in the evening. My favorite games were R-Type, Contra, Altered Beast, and Galaga. I got pretty good at all of those. I'm glad to see some of the arcades have survived in Japan.
The only thing that's a little sad about us Americans and I'm not ashamed of most of us are ignorant the only reason most Americans from the 90s even new chip and even exist was because of all the video games and anime

Ah, so you are a man of arcade culture as well. Though my preferred games were Street Fighter 2, Samurai Showdown and Killer Instinct. That being said, I was a little too young for arcades in the 80s, didn't get into them until my early teens in the 90s. It did not help that there was no arcade in my immediate area and could only visit them during some vacations.
Your hair looks so cute, Mrs. Eats!
Mrs. Eats telling dirty jokes was the highlight of my day. I laughed so hard! 😀
That Ultraman game looks amazing.
I love that the owner of Elemeka Laboratory is such an aficionado of the mechanical arcade games of yore that he's designing his own. I've come across a few of these kind of games at penny arcades in the States, and they've always been so intriguing and genuinely fun. I'd love to see a renaissance of like-minded engineers finding a community around designing new games like these, and bringing back old ones. If I'm ever in Osaka, I will visit!
These are the places I NEED to visit when I take my firdt holidays to Japan in 2 years, it's what I would have loved as a kid, thank you for showing this off to us in this great video! 😎💜
Wow the production value and editing on these videos has really improved. Well done! I can't wait to go to Japan again and play some more arcade games, Gundam Versus for the win~
You're literally the cutest CZcamsr of all time, I just discovered this channel today while having hot pot for lunch 🤩🥰
Man, I miss arcades here in the states. Light gun games were soooooo fun! And those classic Nintendo machines are neat 😁
Same here. Time crisis and house of the dead, especially. So much fun!
The only arcades around me now are in bowling alleys and movie theaters.
Theres still arcades but now they are far between. They are more like gaming meccas nowadays
When I finally save for a trip to Japan, I'm going to go here! This place looks awesome!
Those are exquisite games. I never experienced those in 90’s in USA. Special place to explore and admire.
The white ASTRO cabinets bring back so many memories, in my town they had them everywhere in the 90s to early mid 2000s
Absolutely loved this video. Love what you are doing with your hair too, looks great. Watch out for that monkey come.
Hi mrs.eats. I'm so happy that your enjoying yourself with your husband. Enjoy life to the fullest. I also like your videos. Keep making them when you get the chance.
Cool 90's!
I own an Area 51 cabinet, and my plan is to own a DDR or ITG cabinet, some other rhythm game like Sound Voltex or Groove Coaster, alongside a MAME setup for Fighting Games and Bullet Hell games. Arcade games mean so much to me tbh. There's something about the lights, the music, the pixels, everything is just so comforting and I can get lost in an arcade for an entire day.
OK, Osaka definitely strong on my bucket list now. It was before, but now it's even more.
Osaka is da Goat for Arcade, FGC and a lot of other awesome things of which I'm not going to tell..
It's always better to experience IRL.
*sigh* maybe one Day I can visit this place but whom knows..?
@@adam.maqavoy I was expecting to find arcades all over Akihabara, but was disappointed to find that most places there had just a couple of crane games and other luck based games. I think the lockdown killed the last Sega places there. The only arcade that looked like I expected it to be was in a mall in Odaiba, but I didn't have time to go in.
Ok now I'm curious about the other Osaka stuff though. I mostly knew that it's great for foodies.
I'm considering traveling to Japan this year again and insider tips would be most definitely welcome - no matter how raunchy or cringe.
Osaka is referred to as "Japan's kitchen" a definite place to go if never been.
This is so cute and edutainment tier fun. Most of these games I was way too smol to have ever tried in my little kid days. I mostly remember early 2000s video games and nostalgia.
Japan is so strange. How do they make time to enjoy memory lane pleasures when they are working so much?
I remember playing that Ninja Gun when I was a kid! And that helicopter game actually looks a lot like the one that was usually found at our local airport, in the waiting lounge (back in the early 70's). The two levers were for speed of the helicopter blades (which determined how high or low you'd be flying) and the other one determined your helicopter's pitch (whether it flew forwards or backwards for flying direction), and the goal was to be able to land and take off in three increasingly more difficult landing area without crashing into the surrounding structures (metal trees or buildings). It was all contained in a large plastic globe just a little bigger than the reach of the helicopter on the pole so spectators could gather round and either marvel or laugh at your flight skills! Such great times!
Mrs eats is rocking that wolf cut 😎
Oh wow! These are the areas of Kita-ku my wife and I usually in nearly everyday lol wild! Great video!
those old school games were alot more fun
🎉良い一日を
OMG! Next time I'm there, retracing your steps and I'm definitely going to Cafe Y
Everything about this is just perfect.
Brilliant video. I used to go to many arcades when i visited Osaka. One of my favourite games was hokuto no Ken (it was a bit like street fighter!)
The plane game actually uses a practical effect called pepper's ghost which employs an angled pane of glass to reflect the physical, UV painted plane into the similarly decorated UV playfield above! Analog fun.
Oh man, before moving to Tokyo from Osaka last month, I did find this place randomly walking around there!! Its awesome :D
Wonderful hidden gems and cool old Arcades! The analog games looked amazing. Cafe Y and Mom seems wonderful! I love your humour xD
love the 8, 90s vibe
We have a great Retro Arcade here in Sapporo, I just love the old pinball machines
😎 Thank you for sharing! Love the retro arcades
love that original macross cabinet. belive it or not only one in the wild of US i was able to find and play was in NYC when there was an arcade at penn station corridors.
Amazing video, I’m always glad to see the Eats family :D
I really want to go to Japan.
是非遊びに来てね
食べ物とレトロゲームだけでも大金使う価値あるよ
だけど死ぬほど事前調査は必要よ
@@user-vr1lt1ki7g 透析が必要な時期は大変です。
優しいお言葉をありがとうございます。
I still watch your videos, lately I've been really enjoying watching 日本語anime
Epic arcade video guys :) them old arcade machines are so epic. I remember when i was a kid i use to have a Vintage Digital Derby Auto Raceway and a tomy turnin' turbo dashboard and them 1980s arcades some of them i do remember seen them here in Australia :). Gamer will all ways be a gamer no matter how old you end up to be i'm in my 50s and still a gamer ( never stop playin ).. And another epic video :) be well, be safe, be happy. Love from Australia.
Really love these recent videos about geeky stuff like that 😁👍
日本のアーケードゲームを楽しんでいただけたようでなによりです。
昔はアーケードゲームでも１０円で遊べるようなお店もあったんですよ！😀
I haven't seen or played these arcade games in a long time! Thank you for sharing, and you're both looking happy and healthy! Keep doing what makes you happy ^_^
That place looks as fun as you. I can't understand why nobody is enjoying such a hidden pleasure.
Unreal; love you guys seem to be loving it all.
We have the arcades called Mikado in Takadanobaba and Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
0:29 When I was a child we used to spend summer weekends at a local country club, it had a shabby little game room with a few arcade machines, the lineup included Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, TMNT, Dark Seal (Wizard Fire), The Simpsons, Metal Slug, etc... I didn't give it a second thought as a child but as a grownup I realize now that shabby little place had some arcade royalty xD
My first time on a cabinet arcade game was a mechanical one - in Okinawa. It was in the early 70's, and the game was a mechanical submarine game similar to the gun games you played. The targets were ships, and you looked through a periscope and fired torpedoes at them. I was like, 5, and utterly entranced, and I've been fascinated by sub games ever since.
the older non graphical arcade games are so charming and timeless
This is one of the greatest youtube videos EVER like seriously thank you so much for giving us this. So cool man 😢❤❤❤
yes, a dream come true, mrs. eats turning to game content.
I loved listening to the stories in the Mom cafe. It was so wholesome. It was also really cool to see Midway, Sega and even Nintendo used to make mechanical games before video games. It was surprising that Nintendo added sound effects to Dead Line. This game actually reminds me of Steel Diver on the 3DS!
went to that first arcade you showed, google maps had it in the wrong spot, and actually too me so long to find.
Great to see these old mechanical games. Thanks!
Amazed. Thanks from Panama city Beach, FL
The electromechanical games can be repaired, however to repair them you have to be very creative and usually have to make parts by hand which means they are very expensive to maintain unless the owner does it themselves. I have one and I have the same difficulty
Lovely video thanks for sharing.
Those arcades would be heaven for an old nerdy guy like me. I had no idea Sega and Nintendo had games that old.
making me want to visit japan
That looks old, I am a fan of nintendo games. Looks like the best day with delicious food
I've only been to Tokyo retro/vintage game centers, so I'm super excited to check out the Osaka area during my next trip!!
As always, thank you Mrs. Eats!! (and I guess Mr. Eats too😂)
If you're ever in Las Vegas, there is a Pinball Museum with MANY of these style arcade games. Physical games that predate the video era. VERY cool stuff.
that is some incredibly thick toast
I've visited a handful of arcades like that in the US, but they are rare upon rare. The Pinball Museum Hall of Fame in Las Vegas has a lot of classic arcade machines. And you can find tiny arcades like The Jupiter Bar in Seattle that have held onto a handful of analog classics like 'Ice Cold Beer', a vertical climber using a steel marble. It's a lot more Pinball here in the US than anything else though.
The Pinball Hall of Fame is awesome. I came across The Silver Ball Planet in Osaka recently which had a load of pinball machines.
Dynamite Deka aka Dynamite Cop aka Die Hard Arcade - what a classic.
I'll be in Osaka in August. I will have to check these places out!
It's so cool that the owner makes his own games!
Two absolute gems! Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
This was so much fun!!
Thank you for taking us on Eats adventures 🕹
Your hair is so pretty
What an awesome video! It was a treat to see you two have so much fun.
Loved seeing all those retro arcade games, both video and mechanical. So many treasures that can't be replicated.
Should you ever take a trip to Las Vegas, you have to visit the Pinball Hall of Fame. Hundreds of pinball games from the late 1930s to now, lots of mechanical games Ana curios from 1970s and before, and also a lot of video arcade games that are really rare (including the very first, Computer Space circa 1972).
Those electro-mechanical arcades look so cool!
Okay I really did die when you played the baseball game. 🙈🙉🙊🐒🤣😅
Super Mega awesome ,👍😸 keep those Arcades going good 🏆👍👍
Yup, the 1990s is officially retro.
When I was a little lad there was a massive arcade where I used to holiday. I do remember some EM games now. Watching you guys play them sparked some memeories inside me. I suppose that's what nostalgia is. So thank you for that.
These videos heal my 40-something otaku soul. No offense to other Japanese pop culture content, but it does tend to skew a bit younger.
I do have to question Mr. Eats assertion that Mrs. Eats wasn't good at the one shooting game because it "Had nothing to do with Japan". I mean, Ultra Gun was an Ultraman themed game and Ultraman is a Japanese icon.
That electromechanical arcade is amazing. I've seen some people in the UK restoring a Sega Gun Fight lately it'd be fun to try it one day.
Oh! Everything looks fun!
you guys gave me another reason to visit Japan .. i realy enjoyed the video..
thank you :)✨️✨️
The Deadline definitely feels like Nintendo. I love them
I subscribed for two reasons content, and you comfort me.
That sandwich is godlike.
Arcades were never a thing here in Sweden which is sad.
The Cafe Y owner seems so wholesome and nice. :D I understand why they would call her mom :D
Arcade was my favourite pastime, the retro jive never fails to entertain and top off the day with light snacks and drinks.😊
It really sucks the great Arcades in Tokyo all shut down. I am surprised the Arcade and Video Game Community in Tokyo let this happen and did not save them. Nuff Said!
That guy is so cool, living a dream.
Japan shaped the world man
NINJA GUN!!!!
I sunk 100s of tokens into this machine at our local ShowBiz Pizza.
I loved that it was electro mechanical. Had to be 1988ish.
