The last one to introduce is in one of the corners on the fourth floor of Nakano Broadway, "Nakano TRF." Surprisingly, at this game center, there are none of the games such as UFO catchers or medal games. On top of that, half of the games are 2D fighting games. So the very core players from the old times gathers here as will.

Everyday, some kind of competition is being held and it's crowded with passionate players. There are beginners and intermediates competitions held time to time for those of who haven't played arcade games too many times. It'll be a good experience for those who haven't played so much.
