>Are there many games outside anime
Sure, like train driving sims and some insane horse-racing games. And by insane, I mean fucking insane.
Here’s a still from a video I took at an arcade in akiba. The “cabinet” is a huge physical track with animatronic horses that race around it in real time matching what’s happening on the screens.

But of course, anime sells. An Initial D arcade game is going to do better than some generic racing game.
What’s also super popular now are “trading card” arcade games, where you collect cards that are rfid or barcode or whatever and use them with the game. Though by “popular” I should specify “popular with women”. Like you’ll see middle-aged women sitting at these games with literal binders full of cards, and you’ll always find card shops near arcades.
