About
Sega Arena Nakama opened with [Shoppers Mall on 20 November 1998.[1] As with the other Sega Arena game centers that had opened up at the time, the Nakama branch contained attractions seen in Joypolis parks and an elaborate theme, with Nakama being depicted as the "Sega Dreaming Factory" - a place where fun, joy, and dreams were sent to the world.
The venue was home to Joypolis mainstays Power Sled, Murder Lodge and The Lost World: Jurassic Park Special, while Human Co, Ltd. supplied the walk-through attraction Pharaoh's Garden. "Fun-teractions" including an inflatable Sonic the Hedgehog pumping game, a light show, and a Sega museum, expanded the attraction lineup.
The attractions of the venue were entirely removed by the 2000s, as were most of the "Fun-teractions", downgrading the venue to a generic game center. After Sega completely sold its game center operations to Genda in January 2022[2], the company began a phased rebranding of all Sega game centers in Japan under the GiGO name, with this respective venue rebranding as GiGO Nakama. The venue remains operational as of 2025.[3]
