Sega Arena Nakama (セガアリーナ中間) is a Sega Arena venue opened by Sega in November 1998.[1] One of the flagship locations of the naming scheme, it originally contained several attractions, and continues to house elaborate theming of Sega's properties and consoles.

Theme
The facility is themed around the concept of "Sega Dreaming Factory", which sends Sega's fun, joy, and dreams to the world.[1] The entrance to the building is designed to resemble a television screen, while the interiors are adorned with brightly-colored gears, logos of Sega game franchises and consoles, a timeline of arcade releases, and colorful comic-book styled murals featuring Sonic the Hedgehog.
Alongside its main draws of coin-operated arcade machines and a number of interactive attractions, the centerpiece of the venue is the 120-inch "Dreaming TV", a large projection screen mounted on a pair of immobile legs which resemble those of MBV-04-G Temjin from Cyber Troopers Virtual-On. The "Dreaming TV" was originally used as a demo station for the Dreamcast,[2] but currently displays a static promotional image.
