Drunk and wondering if I should go to japan in a month. What arcade games should I play if I go there

I went a month ago. There's literally no good arcades. Enjoy your claw machines and gacha shit.

>not a weeb i just post anime and want to go to japan
Kill yourself loser

Go for it.

I think I saw gundam gameplay footage on youtube. Could be fun.

Pretty sure there are several game centers with good machines.

I posted the image in the OP just to piss off people like you.

I live in Japan and you should save your money OP, coming for the arcades is a waste desu

Jojo last survivor

Probably not just gonna go to the arcades. I'll walk around and visit other attractions too.

For some reason it's not letting me check for signs or storefronts.

you can visit some kyabakura or some pink salon there. some do accept customers. but be mindful that you wash yourself including your nether regions real good before going there

Don't worry I'll shower every day when I g o there.

SDVX or any rhythm game

Which burnt out idol has the sexiest crows feet?

>i was only pretending to be retarded
Classic weeb

Wasn't pretending to be retarded. I just don't care whether people think I"m a weeb or not.

I went to japan a couple times last year and I found the arcade scene very boring. Outside of buildings full of dissidia and Tekken 7 there's nothing to see. Some gundam games yes and some obscure (to me) anime girls games but nothing more. I had some fun in some older places where they had Metal Slug, Street fighter and but they are harder to find in the center of Tokyo. There's a good one in oshiage, and there's plenty in Yokohama but it's a bit far from the center.

But at least the city drowns in crane games and we won some great prizes.

north korea is by far the superior country

I'm moving to japan in two weeks, tell me where to go

to the local ward office to register your new address

What games can you play and are interested in? Some arcade genres like shmups can be actually quite hard to find in the average arcade, I'd recommend to look up beforehand which arcades have the sort of games you like. If you want to play rhythm or fighting games you're probably safe anywhere.

Overall though the arcades are dying in Japan too, they're not that great even if they still exist.

Any genre really. Shooting games, racing games, idolmaster, fighting games, beat 'em up. Pretty mcuh anything. Just wanna have fun.

Made me chuckle tbqh

My questions to OP
>Are you objectively hot/handsome?
If not, you'll be looked at as another "ugly gaijin" and socializing will be just as bad if not twice as worse as it is in your home country.

>I'm not a weeb, I just want to go to arcades
There are people who will stand behind you, thinking "I wonder if the Americans/(other westerners) are good at this game" and when you inevitably suck/get bodied, they'll walk away.

>I'm neet and anxious about leaving the house
Everyone here hates neets too, since it's predominately a working culture. If you're a tourist or a neet, nobody will talk to you except for Nigerian promoters (gang members) or prostitutes (ever have an STD? Would you like to have an STD? Only 7500 yen~)

literally touch any fighting game without a nesica card and realize no one is going to waste fighting a rankless nobody on a cab

Play the Rhythm Tengoku arcade game (that runs on NAIOMI hardware) if it's still around.

why does that keep happening?

So essentially you're looking for Japan to be your "magical amusement park land where I can play games and weeb out and it'll be awesome! Kawaii!"?

People like you make me skip talking to tourists when I'm walking to work. A better solution is to get an arcade stick and download the fucking games, and play them at home. Far comfier without the pungent smell of salarymen smoking one cabinet away from you.

If you do end up going
1) Fuck you, do something with your life
2) Crimzon Clover - World Ignition can be found on most Nessica machines and is a great shmup

Going to the arcades with a Japanese qt and bodying her in Mario Kart Arcade, then kissing her after a quiet walk in the park is a 10/10 life experience. Do something with your life, stop thinking going to Japan and playing games is going to change anything or even be a worthwhile experience.

I go to Japan about twice a year.
Arcades suck and unless you want to play pachinko (you don’t) avoid it all together.

Though I suppose I did find a nice arcade in Kobe once. I still prefer hiking and sightseeing though.

Rude cake idol.

I love going to Japan but I hate weebs and anime. I only like conveyor belt sushi and onsens.

I've been neet for 7 years with never having a job in my life so far and I feel like i need to get out of the house to get some sort of motivation. Traveling to japan seems like of of those things to get my motivation back so I can experience the world and try to get a job.
I already mentioned visiting attractions and dealing with the real world.

when you gotta sleep, you gotta sleep

>Far comfier without the pungent smell of salarymen smoking one cabinet away from you.
Holy fuck arcades in Tokyo are filled with smog. I was aware of it but I never expected it to be that bad.

So how does one unironically "make it" in Japan? Obviously smelly neets and suicidal English teachers aren't welcome.

That's a good plan and all, except it's not. I was one year from graduating, had a Japanese gf of two years, and was lined up to get a $80k/yr job in development when I went to Japan.

When I came back, it was fucking depressing, mainly from a mix of "Wow, my country kinda sucks dick" and "my image of Japan was way off then I expected.". It didn't really motivate me so much as kick me into "realism" mode, where I made the obvious connection that "the grass is always greener on the other side". Focus on getting your life together first, then reward yourself with a trip to Japan after you've made substantial progress. That'll motivate you. Going from neet to "Wow Japan! xD" will only depress you when you get back and realize you have nothing at home.

It's pretty bad, but apparently a lot of arcades here have been banning smoking indoors. I guess just not at the arcades where I go to, because I still come home smelling like lung cancer. It's fun to take a few hundred yen off of salarymen in SF4 though.

>Those questions
This is why I'd go with friends, I'd be way too nervous to go alone because of the anxiety of knowing I'm being glared at from every corner and the fact that I sure as shit don't know Japanese.
I'm pretty sure I have brain problems that make it difficult to learn new stuff, so learning Japanese would be damn near impossible

Yea Forums is an anime website sweetie :)

Ironically the left would just be called a neckbeard and the right a faggot instead.

>tfw I just want to see the countryside of Japan
>don't care for bigger cities but I don't know Jap so I'll probably be more lost that usual in rural areas compared to busier places
One day I'll get onto learning a bit of Nip
I probably never will though

The first and main question you should ask yourself is "Do I have a skill/degree that would make me tons of cash in my home country?"

If the answer is no, you're bound to be a lower/lower-middle class company worker burning 45+ hours a week for less than $30k/year. If the answer is yes, you'll be able to enjoy a regular salaryman lifestyle, granted that you're single with no kids. That means $35k/year+, with few options for promotion (even less than your Japanese counterparts, since you're not Japanese), and maybe an invitation to a few kanpais after work.

Smelly neets and suicidal English teachers are despised here. There's a strong stereotype of the "chubby foreigner with yellow fever" here, and you have to work to get that stereotype off of you.

You don't have brain problems. You're just lazy.

Maybe, but I did take a Spanish course in HS and damned if I remembered any of it when I got out of that course.
Maybe it's a matter of using it, maybe it's a matter of hammering it in but I feel like this would be 6 months to a year worth of work to do and that's assuming I find a good free program for it. Even though technically English is the hardest language due to how we make our words compared to others, I'm more than a bit intimidated.

Definitely go for it, user. I travelled the whole country last year and the rural areas are the best. Honestly, just anywhere that's not Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka or Hiroshima is great.

Well I'm graduating with law and finance degrees this year so I guess it's the nomikai salaryman life for me.

If you're socially capable and there to meet new people/for the experience, I'd recommend it. I spent a month here more than two years ago and, because I spent time making pen pals and learning Japanese beforehand, is one of the more memorable experiences of my life. I've made some good friends and now that I live here, get to explore the city/country for what it's really worth.

You will be stared at from every corner. Everyone will judge everything you do in public: the way you walk, if you're eating/drinking/talking on a phone in public, if you know Japanese, if you know the local ways of life (Suica card, wiping your hands before each meal, etc.). It's fun here for a week or two (though about 80% of people will hate that you're "another tourist" here).

The thing is is thaat I'm on several waiting lists for mental health and shit because canada is a shitty country. I'd rather put myself in an environment where I'm on my own and have to make decisions myself. If I come back I'll go back to learning Japanese. Seeing japan may or may not get my motivation back but I might as well try. I'm stuck in a rural area and if visiting japan motivates me to go back and learn the language or not then so be iit.

Is it true that Jap women would be all over your dick if you go there?

Can I launch up some Tinder app there and find bitches to fuck instantly?

I'm an ugly gaijin but I feel i'm autistic so I won't give a shit about what others think about me. Don't worry I'll try my best to talk ot tothers even if it's so difficult.

As long as you're not fat/bald/ugly also you'll need to have a decent amount of money cus they like to go to izakayas and then to hotel so bring money and don't be ugly, much like any other women.

Different user, but I'm happy to hear this. I've made a few good Japanese friends through my uni and I'm looking forward to going over there and spending time fucking around in Japan with them.

No.

I'd probably take a week or so to try a few things out there. The arcades are a big one for me just because where I am, not even Round One exists so having actually new games to play would be nice. Kamen Rider Diner is another thing I've been really wanting to try, from there I'd probably be touch and go with my friends, one of the ones I know goes at least once a year so he'd know his way around and other fun stuff to do. Honestly the scariest thing is just wanting to learn Japanese before I'd go so I don't look like a piece of shit but at the same time be fluid enough with it that I don't talk like a sperg every time I open my mouth.

wtf i thought japs loved those

>much like any other women.
yeah see that's the problem, i don't find ''most'' average white women attractive but whatever they consider average there in japan, i always find it attractive

I felt like I was getting more attention from women but then again I'm not an ugly incel at home. t b h girls are more interested in foreign men basically everywhere

You don't need to learn any Japanese to go to Japan.

If you apply yourself and practice religiously, you can do whatever you want. It just takes time. Obviously, you won't see the results you want instantly, but they will come.
Also, don't be stupid and go long periods of time without practicing, thinking you've earned a "break". You use it or lose it.

Go to aki, yes it's a tourist trap but it's still good. Lot of cool machines and just fun to walk someplace that's so fully engaged in nerd shit. Go to HEY by Taito, it's one of the best arcades in the area. Also check out the four Sega buildings in aki, even if they're full of fotm and redemption games.

Otherwise Round1 is probably cool, I just never went to one. There's one somewhere in northern Japan (I think, can't remember what I heard) that has a deluxe F-Zero AX machine

AWW, DDR

>I did take a Spanish course in HS and damned if I remember any of it when I got out
Same here, about 6 years of Spanish class and I remember none of it. Because my ex-gf was Japanese, I started to learn the language to speak with her in her native tongue and to speak with her family. Since I genuinely wanted to learn the language myself, much more stuck. The only thing is that Japanese is a VERY difficult language to even become conversational in, so it takes hundreds of hours to even get to the point of a 4 year old speaking with their mother.

Law and finance? Nomikai salaryman lifestyle for at least a decade before you see any noticeable upgrade.

This is my recommended approach, for sure. Had to crash at a friend of a friend's apartment which I thought would've sucked, but he worked for an "Italian" restaurant and we ate cheese, drank wine, and played through a Maximum the Hormone DVD set. Good shit.

Never even heard of Kamen Rider Diner. Might be an Akihabara-only thing, and the population there is pretty much 50% foreign tourists anyhow.

>Honestly the scariest thing is just wanting to learn Japanese before I'd go so I don't look like a piece of shit
I've been here for a year and know Japanese well enough, and I still get handed an English menu wherever I go. You'll be looked at as a piece of shit regardless, but if you can put together a basic sentence and comprehend the response, you're better than most. It still takes two or more years to even get to that point. It's easy to bang Genki I/II and some Tae Kim's, but once you begin talking to Japanese people on the regular, you'll release how little you actually know. Start now if you're serious about it. Download Anki and at least get the Core 2k pack. If you don't do it EVERYDAY, you're fucked.

No but it helps, firstly because of what said but also because you'll want to know it to read Japanese screens and menus and stuff. Some places offer English menus but there's a lot of places that won't.

That's when you pull out google translate.

Ikebukuro actually.
It's like a mini museum of Rider memorabilia with a themed restaurant. Menu changes every now and again to show off the new rider of that time too.

If you're obviously foreign (non-Asian) and somewhat handsome, you'll get some play but don't expect anything halfway serious. You might be able to find a date for Saturday night, but don't expect that to turn into fucking until at least a week or two later (aka, a date or two later). Most foreigners have a stigma here that "they're only here for tourism", so be careful about catching the clap, since the girls who fuck foreigners in a week or two almost certainly have/had VD.

This is practically a myth. If you're in Japan and don't know a lick of Japanese, everyone (except the rare Westaboo who only listens to Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran) will despise you and think of you as "another ignorant foreigner". Only the major restaurants and chains will have anything in English, and if you don't know basic Kanji, expect to be absolutely lost and confused 75% of the time.

Google translate gets very basic shit VERY wrong most of the time. It's barely usable outside of set phrases and elementary school sentences.

Sounds like it could be cool, though I'm sure it's a 30 minute sit-down that doesn't meet expectations like nearly every other place here. If seeing your favorite memorabilia as ketchup on an omelette will make you happy you spent $1k+ coming here, then go for it.

I went a few months ago arcades are really fun.
I played a ton of project diva, initial d, and that mech game where you get into a big seat filled with screens (similar to that star wars xwing game in the west)

also sneak in a few cans of strong 0, as they really don't care if you drink

Well no, that's part of the trip and when I say memorabilia I mean like the rider belts on the walls and stuff. You can even sit on the Great Leader of Shocker's throne for photo-ops. It's something small and silly but it'd be fun to try at least once.

why are mutts so threatened when someone mentions they like/want to go/went to Japan?

Google Translate is fucking shit at Japanese.
t. tried to rely on it in Tokyo last July, it couldn't translate very basic phrases. It has improved a little (checked that yesterday) but it is still spotty. Bad choice to rely on that in based moon country.

Some basic Japanese ability (kana and babby's first phrases at the least) are highly recommended. Also, almost no one on the street or in employment will know English unless they are specifically tourist-facing, so good luck buying shit at stores or ordering off menus that don't have big pictures on them.

Also, go to Johnathan's, it's way better than Denny's.

This is largely true. But I've found that people are a lot nicer if you can, or at least try. Some receptionist woman was being super aggressive to some white people in front of me, but when I spoke Japanese to her, she immediately became really friendly. On another occasion, some old man running a ticket booth let me into a temple for free because I asked for tickets in Japanese.

user, don't listen to salty mutts. Japan is a great country for tourism. Go to Tokyo, you'll love it. And if you have the money, and time, go to Kyoto and Osaka too. Osaka is Tokyo 2.0 for me, and a great place for gaming.

>practically a myth

It's not. I went all over Japan and knew nothing but "thank you" and "hello". Unless you mean people will hate me behind my back? Because I literally don't give a shit what they think.

Good plan, if you have your shit together at home/in life. Otherwise, you're wasting your time and money on frivolousness, and only delaying the inevitable of growing-the-fuck-up.

They won't just hate you behind your back, but you'll be specifically barred from many "real" Japanese restaurants, events, and social groups. You can walk into any konbini and buy a Strong Zero without knowing Japanese, but you won't be able to sit down and eat/drink at that cozy izakaya with the wooden doors on the corner of the block. Imagine any great social moments in life, but without the ability to speak your native tongue and playing charades instead. You're immediately an "other", and won't be able to fully enjoy the country you're in.

another thing, go to the Japan general on /trv/
Anons there are really friendly and give great advice.

Buying alcohol in Japan was great. The only time I ever even had an eye batted at me was when I was at a family mart. I'm watching the employee ring up items, and suddenly a huge "Are you 20 years of age or older?" (in english and japanese) comes up and a gigantic, green "YES" button lights up the image. The cashier, no hesitation, just points at the screen and says "go ahead!"

Gotta say, societies without many cars are pretty great. We'd be more lax in the US if we didn't have so many drivers killing people all the time.

Taito HEY in Akihabara is full of shmups. I only know Akiba arcades but if that’s where you plan to go, there’s several arcades there including2 Club Sega on one street. Go through those and you’ll find anything that you’d want to play (retro game, modern games, shmups, beat em ups, fighting games, rhythm, gundam, etc.)

this, HEY had every shoot'emup I could think of to play, just a whole floor of it. Great stuff.

>"and suddenly a huge "Are you 20 years of age or older?" (in english and japanese) comes up and a gigantic, green "YES" button lights up the image"

Very, very common, nobody thought anything of it. Those cashiers see hundreds of tourists just like yourself coming in to buy alcohol/smokes, and just assume you don't speak the language and guide you through the most basic process of hitting "はい" on the register.
