In August, the <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/sega-akihabara-japan-arcade-closing\/\">famous Sega arcade in Akihabara, Japan<\/a> closed its doors permanently at the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>Now, another famous arcade has just announced that it will also be closing down permanently within the next few months. The Silk Hat <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/arcade\/\">arcade<\/a>\u00a0in Japan announced via its official Twitter account that it would be closing down permanently by January 11, 2021.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/outrun-cabinet-arcade-1up\/\"><strong>Arcade 1Up Reveals OutRun Cabinet<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>During the 1970s and 1980s, venues housing arcade cabinets were massive boons for countries like the United States and Japan. Unfortunately, as home console gaming has become infinitely more accessible and has garnered much more mainstream popularity, in-person video arcades have gradually begun to disappear, so much so that <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/sega-sells-arcade-business\/\">Sega sold its entire arcade business<\/a> to Genda Inc., an arcade rental company in Japan \u2013 thus all but completely withdrawing from the arcade industry. Now, another iconic Japanese arcade known as the Silk Hat will be permanently closing its doors soon as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Silk Hat Twitter account shared a heartfelt message announcing its closure on January 11 of next year saying, \u201cThank you for your patronage\u2026 The entire staff would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to all of our customers who have lovingly supported us for so long.\u201d Silk Hat featured a variety of machines, <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/best-90s-arcade-games\/\">including classic retro arcade cabinets<\/a>, UFO catcher machines, rhythm and dance machines, and much more. Though many western readers may be unaware of the Silk Hat arcade, some anime fans might recognize it from its brief appearance in the first opening of the 2010 anime Durarara!!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SILKHAT_ike\/status\/1333577940672471041\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As fans of the video game industry, it\u2019s always unfortunate to see a large part of the industry\u2019s history slowly disappear. While traditional video arcades are still hanging on in Japan, many businesses are trying to find new ways to make arcades more appealing as a whole. Recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/japan-opens-first-official-video-game-bar\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Japan opened the first video game bar<\/a> to use officially licensed games made by Sega, Arc System Works, and SNK among many others. Still, it seems like it\u2019s only a matter of time before video game arcades are a relic of the gaming industry in every country.<\/p>\n<p>Video arcades have long since died here in the west, though some companies have found success with VR arcades. Unfortunately, thanks to factors like COVID-19 and the expenses that come with VR arcades, those too are in danger of phasing out completely. Recently, the <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/the-void-vr-arcade-shut-down\/\">major western VR Arcade The Void<\/a> showed signs of being in imminent danger of shutting down completely, after a failed partnership with Disney. In-person video arcades seem to have quite a tough time ahead of them, as it\u00a0looks like it\u2019s only a matter of time before physical arcades are a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/persona-6-japan-no\/\">Why Persona 6 Likely Won&#8217;t Take Place in Japan<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The Silk Hat arcade makes an official announcement on Twitter that it will permanently close, marking the loss of another iconic Japanese arcade.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Another Major Japan Arcade Is Shutting Down Forever | Game Rant - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"The Silk Hat arcade makes an official announcement on Twitter that it will permanently close, marking the loss of another iconic Japanese arcade."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139018"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139018"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139018\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":139019,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139018\/revisions\/139019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
