Crane games: Japan loves them, wants them, and destroys them often. And on January 7, 2021, a certificate was officially obtained by the Sega Shinjuku Kabukicho arcade in Donwtown Tokyo saying they broke the Guinness World Record for having the most crane games in a single institution, often lovingly referred to as UFO catchers in Japan.
Originally, the Sega Shinjuku Kabukicho arcade opened in July 2017 and had both crane games and video games at the time. But it reopened as a crane game in late December 2020-only niche arcade games (hence the world record).
