One of the novelties I didn't know about in the arcades, are these videogames in which you play with cards. The game recognize the cards and their positions over a table put in front of the player. The player also uses buttons and joysticks as usual.
I saw a medieval strategy game (the one in the photo), a football game, a Gundam RTS game and possibly others using this system. Quite an interesting idea to differentiate arcade games from anything on pc/home console.

02.L.and.R * Japanese people mess up with L and R western letters not only when talking, but also when writing. R usually wins, they easily forget about the L. Rollerballll. * 1564 x 1072 * (312KB)

03.Food.replica * Many restaurants (and they are many) expose plastic reproductions of their dishes, probably to attract tourists lost in translation. I must say that it works. * 1596 x 1090 * (551KB)
