Start saving up for an impromptu trip to Tokyo. On July 14th Bandai-Namco is opening Japan's largest virtual reality arcade ever, located near the red light district in Shinjuku. They're building new attractions on top of their sold-out VR Zone experiments, which we previewed last year where I almost saved a kitty cat from a skyscraper and then we both plummeted to our death. They're doing Mario Kart this year! Video below.
The new VR cabinet games include Dragon Ball VR “Master the Kamehameha”, Evangelion VR “The Throne of Souls”, Ghost in the Shell Arise: Stealth Hounds and (sic) MARIO KART ARCADE GP VR. There's also a restaurant on location and the company hired a projection mapping specialist NAKED (great name) to make the place look super futuristic and magical. The other Project i-Can games will also be there, so you can easily drop $100 and spend a very dizzy afternoon. The arcade primarily uses Vive headsets with custom camera rigs and Bandai-Namco's arcade cabinetry know-how. Their other games like Hanechari (winged bike) and Dinosaur Jungle Run of Despair also look like irresistible.
