Information

Pricing:
€5 - 1 Hour Ticket
€10 - 3 Hour Ticket
€15 - Full Day Access

Formerly known as Retro Planet, the National Videogame Museum is now open for business!

Located in the Stadshart shopping mall on the 1st floor. For transit the best option is tram 3/4 if you're coming from The Hague or Zoetermeer, getting off at Stadhuis. You can park for free for the first 2 hours in nearby garages and longer for pretty low prices.

A pre-opening was held on Saturday the 28th with some arcade cabs lined up as a sample. Somehow even though it's in a shopping mall, the venue is much bigger than the previous one Retro Planet used to have.

They have more cabs than they have room on the main floor so a lot of it is in storage. It's common for them to swap out less popular games with other cabs, and they plan to invest in newer cabs as well.

Amazing! Thanks for the update

The popn and jubeat now have headphone amplifiers installed for better sound!

@nebbii I’m sure the springs are fine for regular players, heavy buttons are mainly an issue for me because of my small hands ^^; I definitely plan on visiting again as it’s a really nice arcade and hopefully I’ll remember to bring my Pop’n gloves so I can play!

@Lucianavee: The switches were recently replaced with 100g ones but I think the springs are still 200g. I'm used to way worse cabs and can play on it but I can imagine it's way heavier than other cabs. I'll look into obtaining and installing 100g springs via the operators.
Also, currently working on installing a headphone amp in the pop'n cab!

The buttons on Pop'n feel heavy and to me it seems the left side white buttons drops a lot of notes. Is this noticable to other players because it could just be me playing too lightly

The ITG Eurocup is taking place here this week! NVM will temporarily have 3 ITG dedicabs + one convert cab all running Simply Love, among other rhythm game setups.

New monitor for the ITG has been tested recently, and will be installed within the next week. Smooth 60FPS soon! The pad wiring will be fixed too.

3 months agoThumbsy
ITG2 has been SW upgraded, monitor will soon be upgraded too to mitigate framerate issues. Pads are also already prepared for the ITG Eurocup 2018 this summer.

3 months agonebbii
Rumors say that the ITG2 is getting a hardware and software upgrade! This might fix the framerate issues.

5 months agoThumbsy
Taiko and Groove Coaster upgraded to 14 and 3EX respectively!
ITG2 and DDR are slowly being worked on (the former in preparation for ITGEC2018 and the latter just for sensitivity optimization)
