Noobtoob Does Japan Part 4: Arcades and Super Potato!

Check us out at http://noobtoob.com/forum

NooBTooB is a weekly independent gaming podcast for casual and serious gamers alike.

You guys have clamored for some gaming footage so here's our first collection of all the massive gaming goodness we've experienced in Japan. There's a ton more footage as well so we'll put out another in the coming weeks.

Note, there isn't as much arcade footage as we would've liked since most of the ones in Japan have weird rules about video taping and we were told multiple times to stop filming.

We'll be uploading Japan videos for the next few weeks, there won't be any game reviews until we return at the end of the month. Let us know how you like our adventures, and give feedback on what else you'd like to see!

Arcades are dead in America because kids today are fat lazy fucks who are too anti social and lack the social skills to compete in public and get off their asses!

[tobin00]

@MatticusFinch1820 Heh, the dorks in the Japanese arcades aren't social at all. Don't think that's it. :)

[JinTakumi1]

Two Questions:

1. Were you just in Yokohama or did you go all over Japan?

2. Where can I find those arcades you were at if I go to Japan?

[tobin00]

We went all over Tokyo! And honestly, these arcades are all over the place. If you want to find them really easily, go to Akihabara.

[Crashbroke23]

The end when they are at the top floor of Super Potato, just proves that Arcades in Japan aren't as dead as they are in North America.

[tobin00]

Oh hell yeah, the arcades in Japan are phenomenal. Not dead at all.

[notilhenger]

360 sold out? Okay, who the f*** just divided by zero!?!?

[kaizersosa81]

No its idiots like you who alter they're lives and take people's Youtube comments too seriously... it was a lighthearted comment but I guess your probably too much of a tool to understand... thank you XD now go to hell.

Where is super potato?

[TokyoNerd]

Arcades are dead in America, but it's not because people are lazy. In Japan (especially in the cities, especially Tokyo) everything is expensive. People don't have the same money we do, to be able to buy all the consoles. Plus, people work more in Japan, and when they get home would rather eat/sleep. Thus arcades are booming because people in Japan can afford 100 yen a pop here and there. Plus, they can pretty much play whatever time is convenient for them.

[Hijinx1982]

@MatticusFinch1820 Actually Arcades are dead in America because of technology. Companies like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are the ones to blame. Funny shit about the Fat anti Social kids though :))
