It's a new mythical tokyo room that will close on September 20, and Sega, his former owner, did not really have his say. Genda Sega Entertainment, which has 85% of the Arcade branch units since last December, decided to lower the curtain of the Sega Ikebukuro Gigo room, a place that has welcomed many tests of new machines in one of the most neighborhoods animated by the Japanese capital.
If the decrease in activities following the global pandemic of COVID-19 remains a constant in the field of Arcade, Nao Kataoka evokes an additional reason for this sudden closure. "The rental contract has expired and the building itself will be renovated. I have many memories of my years of schooling at the Ikebukuro Gigo Room. It's really, really desolate. We will do everything To see it to be reborn at Ikebukuro. ", thus laments the boss of the group, who resumed the management of the institutions of the Sega Entertainment branch in November 2020.
In order to celebrate the 28th anniversary of the place, the room will propose prices and goodies exclusive from this month of August, special badges to obtain either through UFO Catcher machines or by buying them at the second of eight floors of the building. A closing that is added to that of another well-known arcade of tourists: August 30, 2020, the Arcade landscape in Japan had already had to deplore the closing of the iconic Sega Akihabara Building 2, One of the largest rooms in the neighborhood.
