Aso Bit City

I love games. I love places that sell games. I love Aso Bit City!
This is an eight story building in Japan dedicated to NERDS. The ground floor is all console games. Entrace area has the newest Japanese titles lined up against the walls. XBox, PS2, and Nintendo basically rule this floor. Here's the breakdown by floors:

  1. Console games
  2. Music, Movies, and Anime .. like Tower Records & Videos + Anime (only Japanese)
  3. Books .. mostly gaming books
  4. Omocha (toys) .. worth mentioning are the remote controlled mini-tanks that shoot infra red
  5. Models of guns, Guns, Gundam, and Gundam (Japanese only) 
  6. PC games .. BOUGHT Command & Conquer GENERALS (foreign[US] games available) including a PC gaming LAN w/ broadband connection preinstalled w/ various games.
  7. AV (Adult Videos) .. basically porn and Anime porn.
  8. Events area
