When you think of Japanese arcades, you probably think of fighting games, music games, and racing games. You might, however, completely forget about one of the most popular staples of arcades in Japan: crane games.
Late last year I had my own experience with a Japanese crane gameâbecause it taunted me with a figure I was willing to pay the âbig bucksâ to own. And last weekend at the JAPEO arcade expo, arcade makers and toy manufacturers showed off the variety of prizes that will be taunting me and many others over the coming year.
