Wedy’s Game Guide #5 – Tokyo Game Show Special
[p][/p][p]Konnichiwa minna-san! 👋[/p][p][/p][p]Wedy Jones here with an edition of Wedy’s Game Guide that’s a little different from the usual Nippon Marathon 2 content.[/p][p]I’m here to celebrate all things Tokyo Game Show, and to mark the occasion, Nippon Marathon is participating in the TGS Steam Sale! 👏👏👏 [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]It’s currently 75% off, so the perfect opportunity to experience Japan for a fraction of the cost of a matcha latte![/p][p][/p][p]But if you happen to be in Tokyo — maybe you're visiting for TGS, want to visit, or just are interested in all things Japan — I’ve got a recommendation that’s 100% certified Wedy-approved…[/p][p][/p][h2]🕹️ Play the Arcade Edition of Nippon Marathon at Mikado Game Center[/h2][p]Yes, you heard me.[/p][p][/p][p]Nestled in the heart of Tokyo, right next to Takadanobaba Station, you’ll find the arcade edition of Nippon Marathon, aptly titled Nippon Marathon Turbo Hyper=Running.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]It features exclusive stages, new contestants, leader boards, and faster gameplay — all designed for high-energy, arcade-friendly action. It even has custom cabinet artwork designed by veteran Namco character designer, Tatsuya Ishikawa (Dragon Spirit and Numan Athletics), and yes, it's totemo amazing![/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][p]The devs actually made the pilgrimage back in September 2023 to play it in person, while promoting SUPER 56 at TGS. [/p][p]It was a surreal moment, playing their own game, in a real arcade, in Tokyo. [/p][p]It was truly a dream come true, and yes, they got a little emotional.[/p][p][/p][h2]🏛️ About Mikado Game Center[/h2][p]Mikado Game Center is one of Tokyo’s most iconic arcades — a haven for retro and fighting game fans. Even if you’re not there to play Nippon Marathon, the devs recommend visiting (though let’s be honest, that should be the main reason).[/p][p][/p][p]It’s so legendary that IGN called it “One of the Best Arcades in Japan” — and they weren’t wrong.[/p][p][/p][p]Having Nippon Marathon Turbo Hyper = Running featured at such a venue is a huge honour. So go forth, grab a melon soda, and pay your respects to the arcade gods.[/p][p][/p][h2]🎯 Visiting Tokyo? Go Play It![/h2][p]If you're in town for TGS or just exploring, head to Mikado Game Center and try Nippon Marathon Turbo Hyper = Running.[/p][p]It’s a rare chance to experience the game in full arcade glory - and maybe shout “DAIJOBU!” at strangers in person (but maybe don’t do that).[/p][p][/p][p]📍 Mikado Game Center on Google Maps[/p][p]Japan, 〒169-0075 Tokyo, Shinjuku City, Takadanobaba, 4 Chome−5−10 オアシスプラザビル １Ｆ[/p][p]https://maps.app.goo.gl/4pX1hwuiBRPnr3MWA

[/p][p][/p][p]A true masterpiece. I know.[/p][p]Until then, I’ll be waiting at the finish line. Probably upside down.[/p][p][/p][h2]🔜 Coming Up Next: The Discord reacts to the new Stage in Nippon Marathon 2[/h2][p]The Discord has had a sneak peek at new stage Shika Shika Deer Town, so let's see what they got up to.[/p][p][/p][p]Stay Daijoubu[/p][p]Wedy Jones
