Fans have been waiting for a long time!The GIGO head office is resurrected again
I still remember that when Ikebukuro Gigo announced its closure in September 2021, many fans were reluctant to show up to say goodbye to the SEGA game center that had been in business for 28 years. Although GIGO Ikebukuro Building 1 and GIGO Ikebukuro Building 2 were opened in Ikebukuro one after another, the scale of the venue was far less than that of the year, and the theme of the facilities in the two buildings was also different. After two years of silence, on September 20th, the second anniversary of the closure of the museum, it was announced that the largest GIGO flagship main store in Tokyo was reopened in its original location. With a total area of 947 tsubos, the four-storey building is also located on Sunshine 60 Street in Ikebukuro, and it has announced that it will build a world-class game center, and more than 500 people will make a pilgrimage on the opening day
