I feel like I should have an obituary prepared for this game. It’s on a hell of a run – since 2006!

Since 2006, most Tokyo game centres have housed dark rows of glowing pods that look like a clandestine genetic experiment from The X Files. Inside these nerd incubators are rich supplies of gamer nutrition flowing to every available inlet of the body.

You live in one long moment of focused killing.

Tokyo arcades are the dreams of the Sega-Nintendo schoolyard writ concrete.
