One of the most exciting aspects of Electric Town Arcade is the carefully curated game lineup. We're bringing authentic Japanese arcade experiences to Springfield with a mix of classic fighting games, modern rhythm games, and unique imports you won't find anywhere else in the region.
The Candy Cabinet Collection
At the heart of Electric Town Arcade are our authentic Japanese candy cabinets — the sleek, colorful arcade machines that define Japanese game centers. Unlike bulky Western cabinets, candy cabs are compact, stylish sit-down units with vibrant displays and comfortable seating, perfect for head-to-head competitive play.
These cabinets can be easily swapped with different game boards, allowing us to rotate titles and keep the experience fresh. You'll find classics and modern favorites running on genuine Sega and Taito hardware.
Fighting Games
Fighting games are the backbone of any Japanese arcade. We're bringing the best of the genre on authentic candy cabs:
- Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike — The legendary Capcom fighter beloved by competitive players worldwide
- Tekken 7 — The latest in Bandai Namco's iconic 3D fighting series
- Guilty Gear Strive — Arc System Works' stylish anime fighter with stunning visuals
- The King of Fighters XV — SNK's team-based fighting game with deep mechanics
- Metal Slug — The classic SNK run-and-gun on Neo Geo MVS hardware
Light Gun Games
Time Crisis 3
This Namco classic defined arcade light gun gaming with its innovative pedal system — duck behind cover by releasing the foot pedal, pop out to shoot. Fast-paced action, multiple weapons, and memorable boss battles make Time Crisis 3 a must-play experience that's best enjoyed in an authentic arcade setting. We have the dedicated sit-down 2-player cabinet.
Rhythm Games
Japanese rhythm games are what truly set Electric Town Arcade apart. These games are rare in the U.S. but hugely popular in Japan — and we're bringing the best of them to Springfield:
Jubeat
Jubeat by Konami is a unique rhythm game featuring a 4×4 grid of illuminated panels. Players tap the panels in time with the music, creating an engaging physical and musical experience. With a massive song library spanning J-pop, anime themes, video game music, and more — it's accessible for beginners but deep for advanced players.
Nostalgia
Nostalgia is Konami's piano-themed rhythm game that simulates playing a real piano. The cabinet features an actual keyboard layout where players hit the correct keys in rhythm with falling notes. Beautiful fusion of music education and gaming — with a soundtrack of classical pieces, jazz, and contemporary arrangements.
Train Simulation
Densha de GO!
One of our rarest offerings — Japan's beloved train simulator by Taito. This isn't your typical arcade game. Densha de GO! accurately simulates operating real Japanese trains with authentic controls including throttle levers, brake handles, and speed indicators. Players must follow precise schedules, make smooth stops at stations, and navigate realistic railway routes. Nearly unheard of in the U.S.
More Coming Soon
This is just the beginning. We'll be rotating games regularly and adding new titles based on community feedback. Future additions may include:
- Dance Dance Revolution and SOUND VOLTEX
- Racing games on authentic cabinets
- Marvel vs. Capcom and DoDonPachi
