Taito Station, Namba

A giant arcade in the middle of Namba offering modern video gaming. Though there are 3 floors dedicated to just claw/crane games.

Unfortunately it doesn’t have any of the classic Taito arcade cabinets made famous through conversions released on 8-bit and 16-bit computers.

On the 4th floor there’s a sit-down Pong table, and a handful of sit-down racing cabinets, including a 4-seater Mario Kart. And rounded off by drumming-based games and frentic whack-a-crockodile games. The games can use a save-game card, this floor has a dispenser.

The fifth floor has Street Figher 6 / Type Arcade, and Gundam sit-down cabinets. These are networked so you can play against opponents in other Taito Stations across the country. And a batch of rhythm and music games.

Opening hours

Daily: 10am - 12pm.
