The location test that Ikeda remembers surprising him was The King of Fighters ’95. It brought in 50,000 yen all on its own, and he was floored by the amount of people who showed up to play it.
Mikado has even been a venue for weddings, fashion shows, and pro wrestling matches. It’s a legendary arcade that opened in 2006.
“It’s really amazing that Sega Toys would release something this crazy. It’s unbelievable, right? I mean it’s a mini arcade console that has almost all shooting games on it, that’s insane!” – Minoru Ikeda, Game Center Mikado
“Games like Columns II, Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars, and Wonder Boy make you wonder how on earth they can be as difficult as they are!” – Ikeda Minorock
