Spending money at Hard OFF!
Переглядів 2,5 тис.День тому
Let’s keep exploring the world of Hard OFF! This time, I found myself in Sennan, Osaka. I spent a fair amount of coin during my visit and managed to score a title I never expected to add to my collection due to its hefty price tag. This little gem was still pricey, but nowhere near what stores in major urban areas were asking. But enough talk-let’s get to it For more retro gaming content checko...

Shopping at the trendy Surugaya in Kyoto, Japan!

It was about time I returned to the Surugaya in Kyoto, Japan. This is a tiny shop, but one that shouldn’t be overlooked. Current-gen games are competitively priced, while retro games tend to be on the pricier side-but if you look closely, you can still find some deals. With that said-let’s head in!

This was a low scoring two “bad boy” count episode. Colour me disappointed 😂 Great video as always though!
Super Potato is my last resort go to spot for games in Japan but it’s always nice to see their set ups they have the most and best things just wish the prices were better
👍👍👍👍👍 / 👍👍👍👍👍
do they do drugs or something in the backroom at potatos? LIke triple ebay price for gameboy/color/advances? I had to double check ebay just now watching your video thinking WTH did prices spike?
You make the best videos on video games, JJ! I just saw the Dog Man movie!
Finally I have been hunting here in Tokyo for the last 2 days, and before that I was hunting in Sapporo too for 4 days. I will be hunting in Tokyo for few days (InSha’Allah) then I will head back home. I’m happy because I found hidden gems off my list and also outside my list.
cool stuff..yep, the biohazard ps1 games have really gone up!
Hello JJ, wonderful video as always, you are very lucky to live in this country, I wanted to know and is it possible to negotiate prices in stores like Super Potato. Sincerely
👍
I just arrived in japan and I'm trying t fin a new 2ds ll minecrat edition, any tip on witch hard off can I find it, please?
Great vid!
I hit up another four shops today, so more is on the way!
Love it or hate it you can’t deny that a Super Potato actually feels like a video game shop. BEEP has a similar vibe in Aki. I went to the new Trader location in Aki last year and it just felt sterile in there. It was definitely a turn for the worse for that store.
Hey JJ as for Silent Hill 4 is available digitally for Region 3 Asia & Region 2 Japan ps3 store as ps2 classic and its have English sub
Hey JJ i always enjoy your videos hopefully you can continue this series Your video is very helpful I been collecting Japanese game that have English option Bayonetta The Bouncer Okami Those what i been collecting from your videos Thank you Maybe you can more for future video Onimusha Warlords Onimusha Dawn of Dreams Have English sub & dub
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I've got a more games to feature for the next installment!
Awesome game store they have 😊
00:29 LOL! Yeah, son, you're definitely going in the wrong direction. Happiness is right next to you.
Haha, you know it!
I think it's Alien Crush on the pc engine. A nice pinball game. But sequel Devil Crash is definitively better and more expensive (and also available on Megadrive). Nice to see some Sega Mark III and Gautlet Legends on N64. Have you ever seen those games on Famicom (and how much do they cost) : Journey to Silius (Rough World, ラフワールド), Dragon Fighter, Power Blade, Crisis Force ? And Baseball 2020 on Neo Geo AES ? Some of my wishlist.
You're right! It is Alien Crush. A number of those titles were featured in the recent Osaka Surugaya videos. I really want a copy of Crisis Force. The Surugaya in Umeda has a copy for ¥40,000.
I’m from NY USA but I have many memories in Japan with wrestling gaming food anime manga history and culture for 5 decades from 1980-Now I’ve been to many events and have met some of the legendary wrestlers like Giant Baba Jumbo Tsuruta Misawa Mitsuharu Kobashi Kenta Kawada Toshiaki Akiyama Jun Hayabusa as well as Joshi like Toyota Manami I can keep naming but I’ll be here for decades
I want to visit the game shops in NY. One day!!
22:32 i didnt even know they made a modern "mini" x68000?!?
I believe there are two editions of the X68000 mini, black and grey. Game collections are also being released for it on SD cards. You can also emulate, but I am not familiar with the full rundown.
Spoiling us brother!!
I got lots more cooking, cheers!
Again a great video and thank you for showing us some stores of the beaten path. Those prices though were all over the place as they hardly made any sense. The pricing on the 3DSLL in the beginning and the Gamecube with the Gameboy player were pretty good. Pricing on some of the cartridge games however, made absolutely no sense. But these kind of places are a treasure trove to find something cheap, which is expensive elsewhere. Looking forward to the next one! 💯
Pricing was definitely all over the map. I walked out of this place satisfied, though! More is on the way!
7:45 A lot of more expensive games are out of the case. I wonder whether this is due to space. I doubt the store is worried about theft. Rather, they put expensive items in the case to prevent damage like somebody fumbling it.
Yeah, I was totally surprised by their merchandising. It was cool being able to take a close-up look.
5:40 That's Cave Noire. It's a dungeon crawler that was never ported. It's great, if you can understand Japanese.
Right on. That box art caught my attention. Thanks for the info!
2:19 Per usual, another red Nintendo system with Char Aznable. I should have gotten the GC controller years ago. Sometimes I run across imports here, so I figured I might stumble across it. Oh well.
I recall seeing the Wave Bird edition a couple years ago. the GC console appears every now and then.
great content - wish I was there!
Cheers! I got more videos in the works, stay tuned.
Quite a few things you cover are available in the west. Most of the hardware, switch games like deathsmiles. I have 2 sealed deathsmiles which cost about 3000 yen each. Keep them coming thanks
I got a lot of content incoming. Great times ahead!
cant believe how much prices have went up, seems like they are at a premium in this video. wish ida bought more years ago import wise..some stuff is still semi reasonable but its not looking like that for much longer
I feel that the Kansai area is overall more expensive than the Kanto region. But, prices are slowly rising across the board.
@@RetroReWire theres some stuff i see from my "sources" that is left behind and "old pricing" from 10-15 yrs ago, like stuff that slipped through the cracks enjoy buying that kind of stuff still but its slowly rising,. i actually cant believe considering what some of the stuff is that it is still cheap (sorry for being cryptic) in japan it seemed like certain stuff they just gave it away or was in the junku section cheap, now that stuff is like $5-10-15-20 now and slowly rising in these current times.
Leave some for us JJ! 😂
Haha!
There are some very expensive PS2. Such as the Automotive Blue, Red, Yellow and Silver consoles. But that Gundam one. We saw one for 10000. We should have got it.
Yeah! A missed opportunity, haha.
👍
Retro ReWire drinking game… hear “bad boy”, drink! 😅
Haha!
How you spell those shops mentioned at 20:02 ?
Book Off, Furuichi, and GEO Hyper Media Shop! These are some killer shops. Cheers!
@@RetroReWire thanks mate
Every day is the best spent at Hard Off
재미있는 영상 잘보았습니다! 👍
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoying all the videos. Thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉
More videos are underway!
Love the content thank you
Do you ever see neo geo MVS carts?
Not often, but some shops in Akihabara will have a decent stock.
Like all they retro gaming instore 😊
2200 for Saturn Bomberman? Amazing. Overall good prices imo.
I still haven't picked up a copy! Once I beat Bomberman 94, I'll pick up a copy.
Hope you managed to visit the Hardoff in Kashihara (Nara) while you were in that area. That store is something else (or at least it was when I visited a little while back).
Thanks for the tip! I'll eventually make my way out to Nara prefecture.
Loving the videos my man
Another video will dropping very soon!
JJ back at it again
Yessir!
omg yessss wakayama!!! i found a cib n64 animal forest here for 5500 yen. This place had a ton of CRTs when i went, I feel like those aren't too common to see in hard offs. There was a book off nearby it if i remember correctly, and they had a indigo gamecube with 2 controllers in perfect condition bundled for 4500 yen! I was so shocked
That BOOK OFF will be featured soon on the channel, stay tuned!
Quite some unique and interesting stuff that far out. I think those "smaller" cities can bring in quite some gems. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, and there are more interesting finds on the way!
5:49 Sega Mark III Tri-Formation. Zillion II in the west.
🎉🎉.. on a rooolll
More on the way!
Do you ever see loose battery doors for Game Boy Lights?
I don't recall seeing loose doors, but a few shops in Akiba sell parts for handhelds and consoles.
11:40 That's a good price for the cradle. Still, it has no remote :( The remote is a pretty cheap item, but hard to find separately.
That cradle is still on my mind. I left it behind as this Hard OFF was my first stop of the day.
Another great video! I have watched every video on your channel, JJ!
Thanks for the support, much appreciated!
The best of the best in Japan with Retro ReWire
I got more Super Potato action incoming!
