The world of Japanese arcades is like a fabled lost paradise to many gamers. The best of the best in gaming rule the ranks there. The homeland. Nirvana if you will. So leave it to an indy filmmaker to take up the task of making a documentary about the arcade scene in Japan.
Titled, 100 Yen The Japanese Arcade Experience, it takes a look in the neon covered world of Japanese arcades. Check out the trailer below.

The film was independently funded by donations via the Internet, which is quickly becoming the de facto way for indy filmmakers to fun their projects. The film is done but no release date is set yet. Check out the filmmakers web site for more updates.
