Buying the RAREST Consoles from Japan

Рет қаралды 241,124

Күн бұрын

In this video, I go on a shopping spree for some of the rarest and most unique gaming consoles from Japan using Sendico. From colorful GameCube to failed Apple experiments, I unbox a ton of retro gaming history - though getting them all working proves to be a challenge. Join me as I explore these forgotten gems and see if they were worth importing after all these years.

Japan’s shipping is absolutely crazy. Amazon Japan, from what I’ve heard, can often times get your item to you the same day you purchase it or the next day. Sendico getting you the items the day after you ordered is insane.

23:31 this is for sure NOT a case and point for digital. Digital would mean they shut the servers down and the game is no longer accessible or at least the final form of the game is no longer accessible. This is a case in point for game preservation, modding, emulation and FPGA.

@GarbageGamerz 2 күн бұрын

I paused the video as soon as I herd that........The over adoption of Digital only has done WAY more harm then good, Paying full price for the RIGHT to have access to a game for as long as they seem fit, The Live service game model which is killing the industry as a whole, The greedy practices of delisting older games because its *no longer profitable* making said game not playable even to people who paid for it....and the latest with BS from nintendo and there blinded attacks on rom and emulators is just morally wrong. Imagine if you go to a car dealership and buy a new car....you drive it and keep it nice for 10 years...then out of nowhere the dealership owner show's up at your house and takes your keys and drives off with your car saying *I don't want you to own this car anymore* would that be legal?? NO so why do we allow this crap to happen with Game servers and digital games????

@ShiggitayMediaProductions 2 күн бұрын

Yeah sadly it was a flop and a half... The SNES/upcoming N64 (at that point codenamed Ultra64)/PS1/Sega Saturn and other consoles that came out in 1994ish era had way more financial backing and support than the Pippin did... I would love to have one. I wonder what mods are out there for it, like maybe a disc-less mod... i.e. an ODE (Optical Disc Emulator)

@@StSparky What is, the Pippin? The Quadra 610 was a 68k Mac (a 68040 @ 20 or 25 MHz to be more exact). Yes you could PPC upgrade it, but I doubt Apple would have done that... I can't imagine that'd be cost effective, unless that's what they did and that's why it was a flop/contributed it to be a flop hardware wise?

That red PS3 Slim isn't Japan-exclusive. I have one as a 3004 model (European). Looks really cool and I got it for quite cheap, because I bought it in parts. I don't know why the previous owner took it apart, but he couldn't get it back together again. There's also a blue model, that I still want. Oh, and on the 3DO they should have gone with one of the best two games ever released: "Plumbers don't wear Ties" or "Night Trap".

About a couple months ago, I came across a spice orange game cube on eBay, it was just the GameCube by itself with no power cords or anything. It was from a seller in Japan and they had also installed it with a region switch mod. Best thing about it $80 with $20 shipping. Best purchase I ever did since data showed that the spice orange gamecube essentially by itself I believe it’s like $200 loose

16:30 The 3DO actually had quite a few decent games for it---the problem is that almost every good game on the 3DO got a PlayStation port a few years later. These days, collecting for the 3DO is paying a lot of money for games that are cheaper on a more common system. In fact, the 3DO had very similar specs to the PlayStation. The problem is that it came out two years earlier and those specs cost 3x as much because of that.

Between the system games and controllers he said it was over $1000 back in the 90s.
