Only a small fraction of the things in Tokyo that would amaze any gamer.
Total 17 pictures

Stores
The game/anime stores in Tokyo are so big they need a table of contents. You can see why it wasn't too hard for us to figure out what was on each floor. This happens to be the store where I bought my two Jungle wa Itsumo Hale nochi Guu mangas.
----------------------
Akihabara, known as the "Electronics district" is every gamer's wet dream. This sign is in the subway station.
----------------------
This store, "Gamers" in Akibahara is pretty famous I've been told, but when we went there it was closed
----------------------
A promotional display for Advent Children at the entrance to a video game/anime store.
----------------------
A wealth of official square-enix goods for sale at a video game/anime store.
----------------------
A fraction of the PS2 RPG's available at this store.
----------------------
Some really old school games. These are for the Japanese equivalent of NES. I believe they are used. Some titles here include Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy 1 & 2, Dragon Quest 2, and Dr. Mario.
----------------------
The newest DDR apparently.
-----------------------
Billboards
In Tokyo, it's not strange to see huge billboards for video games, just like you would see huge billboards in New York for movies.
Huge ad for Kingdon Hearts: Chain of Memories (Not worth playing in my opinion).
----------------------
YAY FOR RAG!!! I MISS IT SO MUCH!!! This sign found outside a manga library/internet cafe.
----------------------
Huge ad for what looks like a PS2 crossover between FF7 and Dragon Quest.
----------------------
Huge ad for Dragon Quest VIII (I took this picture for Laura)
----------------------
Huge ad for some anime. This sign found in the subway station in Akihabara. (I took this picture for Shana, sorry I forgot the name of the anime.)
-----------------------
Games
Me and Jeremy Bergstrom playing the arcade version of the Taiko Drum game. It's cool because it mixes DDR with traditional Japanese culture. Jeremy's wife was very patient with us and gladly took pictures of us while we played.
----------------------
Two of those claw grabby games. The Japanese ones have much better prizes I think. This bottom one found in a Club Sega, a chain of arcades in Tokyo, possibly all of Japan.
----------------------
Street Fighter 2 themed slot machine. No, you cannot pay with Hadokens.
