Yeah, the multistory arcades in Akihabara are phenomenal. The trick is to go up and not down when you enter or else you'll get hit in the face with mind blowing amounts of pornography. I'll post a few, too. An empty back wall, probably because no Cave games on this end of the room-- Hyper Duel, Radian Silvergun and the like (which I made sure to play!). Not an arcade, but arcade parts at least. This one guy's stand was in an alley; he was literally boxed in. All you could see was the person's face and surrounding him-- suffocating him-- was a solid wall of arcade sticks, buttons, wires, etc. My crappy picture of Club Sega. I can't stress it enough, to anyone who likes games in the slightest amount (and you have the money) take a trip to Tokyo and play arcade games. It permanently changed my perspective on games; a different atmosphere with a different mentality and a different way of playing games. Just spend 10-15 minutes in one and it's like a whole next level of video games that can't possibly exist anywhere else.

Well you put your cards down on the five serial-number scans, and voilĂ ! your character materializes on the screen. Used on PS2 (or is it 3?) With Eye-toy and Magic: the gathering series cards. As expected, only slows the game down. Some versions use holographic representations of your monsters/marines, Chocobowhatever in holographic form. Then again, only slows the game... and makes you pay AGAIN to use decks you already have.

God DAMMIT. If my girlfriend and I manage to go to Japan, she'll probably just leave me cause I will be in one of these the whole time.

Club Sega kicks ass. It's great playing a lot of the old school games they have there, though it can eat through your 100 yen coins really fast if you get caught up in something. I have very fond memories from 2005 of ones in Akihabara and ikebukuro
One other thing that's neat about Japanese Arcades- the claw machines (aka- UFO Catchers) can actually be won, often yielding fun and interesting prizes (Famicom controller clock, an air sealed venus fly trap my roommate had... and snuck past customs on his return, and a few other miscellanious items).

When i went to Japan last year employess would not let me takes pictures inside the arcades. I did managed to take some without them noticing, muehehe, but when they did saw me they will quickly come by and do the "crossed arms" signal of no-no.

They work nothing like the PS3 card game, and Sangokushi Taisen (first pic) is a massive arcade phenomenom that's got three arcade releases (excluding minor revisions) and two excellent DS ports. Wiki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangokushi_TaisenOfficial website (in English) - www.sangoku-wars.com/top_all.htmlIt's a great game that more people really need to play.
