Рет қаралды 10,120
2 жыл бұрынHopping on the train and heading to a neighborhood in Tokyo called Okachmachi. It's a very cool area right next to Akihabara. Plenty of places to shop and eat, including a very nice Hard Off filled with retro games!

Nice video as usual ♥ Anyway, too bad that you didn't show any of the Figures. I know you are not into em, and probably you wanted to keep this video only about retrogame, but maaaybe you could have put some shots of the Figures section at the begin or the end of the video. You was there anyway, the video would still be focused around retrogames, and I think many of your followers would be interested in em. Love your videos!

Honestly, that's one of the reasons why we've never seen a HARD OFF store in the US. Too many awesome Hard On jokes would be made. There's a few BOOK OFF stores in the US though.😅

I have a question: I’m embarrassed to say I don’t own any of the Castlevania games. Lately I’ve been thinking of purchasing them, but the prices in the Netherlands give me a bit of a pause (#1=$40, #2=$30, #3=$95, #4=$90). I’m planning to go to Japan next year, am I better off purchasing them over there?

Over het algemeen zijn Japanse games meestal goedkoper dan de games hier in het westen.
@MadPanicGaming 2 жыл бұрын
They're usually cheaper if you don't mind loose carts, except for the first game on Famicom, the cartridge version is typically pretty expensive because it's much less common than the original disc version.
@seanm1738 2 жыл бұрын
In the States, most of these games would be in the glass case due to the lunatic pricing we have.

I think I went to that shop (pre pandemic). As I remember they had a few controllers on the bottom floor. It's a shame about Xbox in general in Japan. They really have great titles, but sadly there is no love in Japan. The last time I went to Yamada Denki, I remember Xbox section looking pretty sickly. I've been sticking to the local HARD OFF/used game shops. I'm looking to replace my favorite childhood nes games with Famicom versions. Fortunately most are easy to find.
@MadPanicGaming 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, thankfully the bulk of the Famicom library is abundant and pretty affordable too.
@worldofretrogameplay6963 2 жыл бұрын
Jim, I have a question about shopping in Japanese stores - is it considered rude to grab the products you want off the shelves, and then carry them with you as you continue shopping? I noticed in all your videos that you don’t grab the products you want until the very end of your shopping trip. Here in the US, we grab the items we want; we continue shopping; and when we are finished, we go to the register.

Hey Jim, How Long Did It Take For You To Become Fluent In Japanese From The Point You First Started Learning Japanese? What Year Did You First Learn Japanese, And Do You Feel Very Confident Today In Speaking Fluent Japanese To Native Japanese People? I've Been To Tokyo In 2018, Right Before Covid Hit, Do You Think It Might Be A Problem In Trying To Immigrate To Japan Even Within 5 - 10yrs From Now? Also, If You Don't Mind Me Asking, How Old Are You? Are You A Fellow GenXer? How Far Back Are You In Video-Games? I've Been A Gamer Since 1977, When I Was 4yrs Old, Since Atari 2600.

Funny thing is that the reason that Sailor Moon fighter is getting tournament is because is not good. To be more exact, the game is so broken dedicated fighting game players are finding all sort of weird interesting things you can do with it.

So I got a question for ya: I have a Japanese PS2 and Taiko drums, along with a few games, a PS3, 2 DSes, 1 old JP 3Ds, a PS Vita, along with some Japanese games. The question is: I am going to get rid of them... where would I get the best price for the stuff, you think? A chain store like Geo, a more spectility store like a Super Potato, or just dump it off on a Hard Off/Hobby Off... unless you wanna buy um (^_-) *edit Just sent you an FB message
