As far as I know locate can be used with in/on and at.I think deciding which one to use depends on the meaning of the sentence.Here it seems to me that on will be better.

The game arcade was on the top floor.

IMO, the word 'located' when inserted in the sentence should not affect the choice of preposition. In fact, on second thoughts, I wonder whether 'located' is redundant.
