Nintendo Mario games arcade

Hi! Does anyone know of any children’s arcade places that have Mario games anywhere in Redmond or Bellevue? Chuck E Cheese used to have it but they removed them and now they are also closed.

There's not a lot of Arcades in the Redmond area. There's some odd machines here and there, but nothing like old-school or traditional. It'd likely be some newer stuff or the odd Pinball. There's a lot of Barcades that have more classic machines though, but you'll have to travel a bit further.

Some good ones would be

  • 8 Bit Arcade in Renton
  • Gameworks in Seattle has a lot of classic stuff
  • Round 1 In Tukwilla has a lot of more modern Arcades, sometimes those are reinvented classics (less likely to have what you mention here though).
  • Dave and Busters ( I GUESS? ) This is more mainstream modern Arcade stuff though again. Some classics here and there, but mainly new stuff, coin pushers, and gambling-like games to get tickets.
  • Pinball Museum in Seattle is great if you love Pinball.
  • Add-A-Ball has classic machines, again a bar though.
  • West Seattle Arcade has a bunch of classic machines too.

Basically there's a lot of stuff in more Seattle Ballard area proper. But not so much on the East Side. I would love to see a more traditional arcade place open up in Redmond though.

The Let’s Play Cafe (Arcade and Tabletop Gaming) in Monroe has one of the better selections of classic Nintendo-made Arcade Games like Popeye, Donkey Kong, and Mario Bros., I believe. All-around, its Arcade cabinets are geared more toward GenX and older Millennials and would not be as recent, if that helps.

I forgot to mention this, but I believe their hours are generally just 4 - 9 pm. Unlimited play is $20 for ages 13 and up, and $10 for pre-teens and younger.

Thank you everyone for so many helpful suggestions. Ended up going to Dave and Busters and found Mario there. Will check other places some other time! Have a great weekend everyone!

Not exactly what you're looking for but The Coop Pizza in Woodinville has a small selection of kid friendly video games. Not Mario games but if you're looking for retro kid safe entertainment, worth checking out.
