Japanese Arcades Currently Having The 'Table Flipping' Game?

February 16, 2018 12:07 AM

Are there any arcades in Nagano, Hiroshima, or Osaka that currently have the table flipping game (Cho Chabudai Gaeshi! or Cho Chabudai Gaeshi! 2)?

I'm interested in this too, with the addition of Tokyo as a location... I've been to arcades from Tokyo to Kagoshima and never run into this in the wild.

I can say that the arcade in the Hiroshima Don Quijote is pretty awesome and seems to have the cheapest Taiko drum machines.

I just finished up a trip through Japan and the only place I found the table flipping game was the CocoWalk Mall in Nagasaki. No luck in Tokyo (although obviously I didn't check *every* arcade) or in Osaka (which has a great cluster of arcades near Umeda Station including some very smoky old-school one-room arcades in the basement passages).

The CocoWalk mall is a SEGA arcade so at least it shows the machine isn't restricted to Taito arcades. If you do find this anywhere please let me know!
