    Pinball is a bit hard to come by is Asia, but I found a fantastic place in Osaka Japan this week (thanks to Pinside Maps, Excalabur and @singapore_pin). They had some of the newest games; Dialed In Ghostbusters (Pro) Guardians of the Galaxy (Pro) Aerosmith (Pro) Batman 66 (Premium) The Pabst Can Crusher The Jetsons and more. This place has LOTS of space. Games are well organized by genre and well displayed; not just set in a row along the wall. Games are ¥100/3 balls, with some set for 3 games for ¥200. There are even a few set at one game for ¥10 (that’s less than 10 cents US per game!). https://pinside.com/pinball/map/where-to-play/6607-silverball-planet-osaka

    The pin tech allowed me to take a short 360° video, You can view it here. It’s best viewed using the YouTube app on your iOS or android device.

    It is a fantastic place, well worth tracking down in Osaka. Great range of machines, uncrowded and 10Y games included some I really wanted to play.

    Quoted from Black_Knight:

    Love the instruction poster!

    Me too! I’m thinking of asking the guy if he has an extra one next time I’m there. Would look great my game room!

    I was there about 4pm. Kinda quiet. There were more people the night before. I don't see how the place makes it. All the games were 100yen (~$1USD) or less per game, even all the new Sterns and JJP games.

    Just got back from Silverball Planet. They have it all decorated up for Halloween.

    This place is amazing!!! Had to be at least 80 games there including every JJP (no Wonka yet)! I’ve been in japan for 2 years and this is hands down the best place for selection and price!
    I agree, not sure how it stays in business but I’m glad it is!!!

    I’ll be staying ten minutes from this place when I’m in Osaka in September! Will definitely check it out.

    mdolshan , make sure to get there early. I think they close at 8PM

    MAJRob , no question about it, this is the best place for pinball in the Far East.

    I’ve been there twice this week. Great themed game arrangements. Incredible selection of raerz and new stuff most American arcades don’t have (e.g. Dominos, Jetsons). Love it so much.

    Some extra instructions as it’s hard to Google Map to: It’s on the third floor of a mall in Amerikamura, a loosely American-themed area. Kinda hard to spot from the street. Directly across from Gram, the new pancake hotness.

    This area of Osaka is filled with vintage stores and it’s great for record shopping, bootleg T-shirts, etc.
