Tokyo Game Bars

A lot of people who come to Tokyo for a visit are big gamers -- and I expect plenty to be in town next month for the Tokyo Game Show, which yours truly will be covering for sister-site Kotaku. Visiting gamers should stop by 8-Bit Cafe and 16 Shots in Shinjuku, a couple of bars that celebrate their love of old-school gaming in a very overt way. Check out the first episode of the newly launched Points series for GameVideos.com, where Jason DeGroot -- a gamer, performer (as 6955), and game company employee -- will guide you through some of the coolest game-related happenings in Japan.
