Sega Arena Nakama (セガアリーナ中間) is an indoor entertainment venue operated by Sega which opened on November 20, 1998 as part of the Sega Arena franchise of arcades.

Theme

The facility is themed around the concept of a "Sega Dreaming Factory" which sends Sega's fun, joy, and dreams to the world. The entrance to the building is designed to resemble a television screen, while the interiors are adorned with brightly-colored gears, logos of popular Sega game franchises, a timeline of Sega arcade game releases, and colorful comic-book styled murals featuring Sonic the Hedgehog. The centerpiece of the venue is the giant, 104-inch "Dreaming TV", a working television screen mounted on a pair of immobile robot "legs" which patrons can walk under. The "Dreaming TV" was originally used as a demo station for Sega's new Dreamcast console, but currently displays a static promotional image.

At its opening in 1998, Sega Arena Nakama contained 200 arcade titles, 4 large attractions, and 4 interactive elements, referred to as "funteractions."
