New Virtual On arcade center opens in Japan

Post by dubcity »

It’s been a long time coming, but the Hakuba Virtual Off Center in Nagano, Japan is finally open, and Virtual On fandom now has a new home.

Covered over at Game Watch, the grand opening received a 4-hour long stream showing the opening of the new location in Hakuba, Nagano.

The center itself houses all three of the main Virtual On arcade games, that of Virtual On, Virtual On Oratorio Tangram and Virtual On Force. The latter even has the original terminal support system.

Cool to see that even though Sega dropped its arcade centers on Japan, virtual on fans are making a place of their own.

It's mostly Presentations but here is the 4 hour grand opening stream.

It's great to see players keeping the arcade way of life alive even when the corporations that built it abandon them.
