Video Game Tokyo Pop Up Store

If you're a video game fan visiting Tokyo in January and February 2020, you'll probably be headed to Akihabara at some point. However, you may want to make a stop by the fashionable shopping district of Ginza as well to check out the cool apparel and gear offered at the "Video Game Tokyo Pop Up Store" at Tokyu Plaza Ginza.

This eclectic and unusual collection includes standalone and mashup designs featuring the likes of Namco classics (pre-Bandai Namco) like Pac-Man and Wagan Land, Nintendo favorites like Taiko no Tatsujin (Drum 'n' Fun) and the recent Switch game Ninja Box, and shoot 'em up game leader Cave's Mushihimesama and Deathsmiles, to name a few.

The creative team behind these "Video Game Tokyo Pop Up Store" offerings are RE:SHAZAM, MESSA, NC Empire (NC帝國), otooto22, GraphersRock and Okd, as well as NEO-G, a creative unit composed of Koichiro Hatsuta of design brand DDS and voice actor Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki, Kyon, Joseph Joestar).
