The SEGA Arcade In Akihabara Is Shutting Down This Month bleedingcool.com

An iconic location in Tokyo is going away at the end of the month as the SEGA Arcade in Akihabara is shutting down on August 30th. If you're not familiar with the location, you might be if you pour through any of the cyberpunk anime in your collection as many of the environments over the decades in manga books, TV shows, and films have been based around Akihabara's design. Especially what's known as Electric Town, which if you just go Google that phrase, you'll be treated to what is essentially a neon paradise for anyone who loves pop culture. One of the fixtures of the town has been the SEGA Arcade, technically called SEGA Building Two, is a multi-level arcade filled top-to-bottom with the latest titles, retro games that look brand new, claw machines for days, multiple pinball rows, and all the snacks you could ever hope for.
