Neo Geo World Tokyo Bayside (Japanese: ネオジオワールド東京ベイサイド) was a theme park located in Odaiba, Minato, Tokyo, Japan within the Palette Town entertainment complex, located nearby rival park Tokyo Joypolis. It was the sister park to Neo Geo World Tsukuba and was intended to be SNK's main flagship venue. Although when compared to Tsukuba, it focused more on attractions than arcade games.[1]
The park was deemed to be a commercial failure for SNK, and closed two years later on March 31, 2001 following a farewell event.[2] Reasons for its closure were due to low attendance, contributions to SNK's eventual bankruptcy two days later on April 2, 2001, and competition from the nearby Yokohama Cosmoworld.
After closure, the park was revenoated as a large gift shop called the Tokyo Leisureland Palette Town Store on March 19, 2002, and later a digital art museum in 2017. The complex itself continued trading until August 2022, with it's closure announced a year prior in July.[3]
