Which console do you want to see next for a special hunt in Japan?
Super Famicom
Neo Geo
SEGA Mega Drive
I’m a sucker for all things Gamecube
Atari Jaguar? 😅
... Just kidding , NeoGeo plz 😂✌️
Don’t ever stop uploading! Your videos are the highlight of my day!
Thank you for the support!
It's always great to see that there is still a place in the world where retro games are affordable. Even when there are expensive games in Japan too, you can have a great time all the cheap ones. Anyway, it would be great to see a video in the same style for the GameCube, because GameCube game prices in Europe/North America are out of control.
Right Vlono!? I agree with you here. Imagine how much fun you could have with Mario Kart 64 for 10 dollars for example!
Great suggestion. I really like Gamecube too!
Never been to Japan and recently am getting back into N64 after 20+ years. Interesting how the game boxes looks so new. Thanks for taking the time to film this
Oh cool! The nostalgia and exploring titles you never played. So much fun.
Yea, people in Japan really take care of their stuff. Its incredible! Thanks for watching and good luck diving into the N64 again :D
I love your commentary and POV style. Really feels like we're there along for the ride! Thanks Adam.
Thats awesome. I love comments like this since that was my thought from the beginning of this channel. Thank you too!
Thanks for retro game hunting tour! (17:57) contains also one odd item バイオセンサー (bio sensor for N64, which measures player's heart rate.. it seems that Tetris was only game to support this sensor..) Really nice combination of N64 related accessories, consoles and games! Here are suggestions for next hunt: Game Boy, PSP or Nintendo DS.
Thank you for watching, Silverian! Oh wow, I didnt know what that was, thanks :D Measuring player's heart rate... thats cool.
Glad you enjoyed it :D Great ideas. I've been buying a lot of Game Boy games recently.
I love your video game hunts, hope you make more n64 game hunts
Thank you! Yes! More coming this year :D
If I would ever go to Japan I think I need a extra suitcase back for all the Nintendo stuff that's coming with me.. those prices are less then half and sometimes just 1/4 of the price here.. WOW :D
Love the video :D
Oh yea, definitely! Its a good thing each person can have 2 bags with them ;)
And yea, dont sleep on the Japanese N64 games! The right time is now. It was never popular in Japan, hence the cheap prices.
Thanks Michael! :D
Just the video I was looking for! I am collecting Japanese N64 titles and around 50 titles away from the completion... Glad N64 is still not that expensive compared to other retro games (like NEOGEO)... but the price definitely increased since COVID-19 pandemic. Hope that the price does not escalate till my visit to Japan this November. How many stores are there in Nagoya for N64 games? Compared to other retro games, it seems less N64 games available.
Thanks for the video once again! And what a piece for Pickachu Blue N64... Definitely want to have that.
Hey! Hope you had a great trip and found some new N64 games to add to your collection! Definitely, the right choice to go for a complete set and not break the bank. Prices have gone up but are definitely still affordable. Pretty much every Game Store / used media store has N64 games. But just like you said, there are not as many as for other systems. Fewer games were released and not a popular system in Japan.
I'd love to do some retro game shopping there but without knowing Japanese it would be difficult to justify to myself to buy most games.
A lot of games are playable without know Japanese language like Mario 64, Diddy Kong Racing or Starfox 64 for example!
I still have the Nintendo 64 and I play to this day
Awesome to hear that! Me too!
Har ingen större koll på N64. Minns att jag körde Goldeneye i multiplayer med kusinerna när jag var liten och har kört lite Mario 64. Riktigt kul att dom har så många sådana spelbutiker i Japan hursomhelst. Hur det är upplagt och presenterat ibland med trånga hyllor och ganska simplistiskt, känns en del som vissa spelbutiker på 90-talet
GoldenEye var banbrytande på den tiden! Har också spelat det otroligt mycket tsm med Mario Kart! Riktigt härliga minnen där.
Visst! Fantastiskt kul att springa runt i dessa butiker. Och jag håller med. Det lite som en tidsmaskin i vissa butiker. Underbar känsla!
Kul gamehunt där, röstar för playstation 3 nästa gång :)
Härligt att höra det! PS3 låter bra. Finns riktigt fina Japan exklusiva titlar att leta efter…
Oh didn't know you had a channel, right on!
Haha lets go! Hope you enjoy the content, man! A sight into what can be found in Nagoya!
I'm not a big N64 fan, but I still enjoyed your video. A Neo Geo game and console hunt would be fantastic.
Totally understand! I have fond memories of the N64 but I rarely play it nowadays. It really aged poorly.
But glad you still enjoyed the video! A NEO GEO Hunt is in the works. Thanks for sticking around :D
@@Ro7yaMajro7 The NEO-GEO video is already out! Enjoy!
Really enjoying your videos man great hunt! I would love to see a hunt for the classic Pokémon games and compare prices in different stores in Tokyo! Also what is your intro and outro music called?
Thank you so much, man! Really appreciate hearing that.
Thats actually a great idea. Ill write it down for a future video! Thanks!
Intro song is made by Extan called ”Like Every Morning”.
The title of the outro is ”Steps” by the Swedish artist Kasbo!
@@RetroMoments Thanks a lot man! I was wondering if there is any way I can reach you I wanna ask you some important questions about my trip I wanna make I would truly appreciate it 🙏🏻
@@TotallyAtopiaYT Yea sure man! You can send me a DM on Instagram @RetroMoments
Awesome video as usual. I am going to Japan in 3 weeks. What game stores would you recommend apart from Hard/Book Off and Super Potato?
Thanks Crabby! :D Oh that’s awesome! Your first time I assume!? :)
Which city? You have to go to Surugaya first of all. Huge selection and great prices!!
I love the 64 it’s the console I have the fondest memories of. With exception to a handful of games, I cant go back to it though; it aged so poorly. Also, I never get sick of seeing the boxed versions of secret of mana, mario kart and kirby so I vote for a good ol’ super famicom hunt for your next video! Btw, what are you doing in nagoya?
Awesome! I have a lot of nostalgia for the N64 too. And just like you, I rarely play it nowadays.
Cool! SFC or SNES is my favorite console so I will probably do a SFC hunt!
I have 2 jobs and some friends who live here. So I go here once in a while to enjoy life in Japan!
Hi Adam watching your video and doing dishes lol. I would love to see everything would love to see a video on Ps VITA / Psp, Sega Dreamcast / Sega Saturn, ps1/ps2 , gameboys ……lol and so on…. Oh I forgot can you show all platform famicon / sfc games too. I like platform games and space shooter games the most from Japan 😊
Hey Sara! Glad youre watching it. Hope you liked it :D And hope dishes got clean lol
Noted! A lot more coming so dont you worry :D I mainly focus on platformers and shooters too, so this should be right up your alley :D
@RetroMoments Hi Adam thank you for the reply. You must be swamped with msgs. I cant wait for the new videos. Im in bed editing my retro store video now at 11:43pm :( wish it was 9 lol ttul
I just picked up 1080 for 9.99 in Canada so cad dollars but loose it’s nice to see a boxed one. I saw chameleon twist I think it was number 1 you showed us. The hori controllers I only have a clear red for the ps1 there pretty good. I didn’t know that snowboard kid 2 was rare in Japan pretty crazy eh lol. Still watching your video and cleaning litter boxs lol
1080 is such a great game :D And yea, it seems to be cheap everywhere in the world still. Great to see.
Chameleon Twist 1 is an okay game. But 2 is great :D
Yea Hori makes great controllers and arcade sticks. They're always worth trying!
Litter boxes lol Hope you had fun haha. Yea Snowboard Kids came late and is rare everywhere.
@RetroMoments if u see a good price on those snowboard kids you should grab it then lol. I cant wait for the new videos:) editing is so much work lol
Ogre Battle 64 maybe my favorite from N64
Cool! Its looks great. Ive never played it actually. Gotta try it one day!
So awesome 👍👍
Awesome to see you here!! 👌
Thank you very much for this wonderful tour of N64 games, but are all the games you showed original? Specifically those that are in transparent plastic covers. Are they original games?
Hey! Thanks for watching! Really appreciate it! And yes, every single game you saw in this video is original. N64 was never popular in Japan, hence the cheaper prices compared to other systems!
I'm gonna sell my N64 console...and buy me an atomic purple edition! I been wanting a purple one for quite some time. The pricing of the one at 14:25 is just right. Cool vid as always, cheers!
Great idea! I really like the transparent colors. My favorite one is the clear blue, which I have boxed in great condition.
Thanks man! Time to check out your video!
That pokemon gold and silver was released outside japan 😅😊
Really? I thought Pokemon Stadium 2 was with different Pokemons? At least what someone told me...
They released a pokemon stadium in japan that only had 75 pokemon, then they released pokemon pokemon stadium 2 in japan the one we call pokemon stadium probably just to hurry out a pokemon game, then finally the one you held there, pokemon stadium 2 it was called here.
Ahhh, thanks for clearifying that, Alex! I knew something was different... just not exactly what. Thanks!
Det gula fiskespelet du hittade på super potato är faktiskt riktigt bra, har det komplett med spö och allt. Lite svårt att fatta bara då allt är på japanska, men en engelsk patch hade varit trevligt till det. Faktiskt gjort av skaparen till Motherserien! Shigesato Itoi.
Ah coolt! Ska kolla upp det. Om man ska välja 1 fiskespel dock, vad hade du rekommenderat? Känns som SEGA Bass Fishing är en bra kandidat ändå :)
@@RetroMoments Ja om man vill ha arkadfiske så helt klart. Men mer realistiskt så är det rapala pro bass fishing till ps3/360 med tillhörande spökontroll. Det funkar riktigt bra. 😁🎣
Tack! Bra att veta. Då börjar jag nog med SEGA Bass Fishing åtminstone :D
日本人の男性です。
とても懐かしい気持ちになりました。
i'm japanses man.
i feel so nostalgic.
Thank you for watching! :D N64 is very nostalgic for me too.
I got the orange pikachu n64 in February at a hardoff in Osaka for less than half of that place wanted.
Oh nice! Thats an awesome deal!
I had a blue one a few years ago, but would like an orange one nowadays!
That green pad with the short sides is a limited edition one i think.
Oh I didnt know that. Cool!
@@RetroMoments yer there is a green one 1000 made released with a soccer game. And 1000 made blue one released with a baseball game. They allowed the player to add speed and faster movements with switches on the controller.
Aloha from Hawaii maybe you can look for the wonderswan and wonderswan color. Always wanted one they sold it here when I was younger. Wish I had one today.
Hey Louis! Glad you found my video all the way from Hawaii!
Wonderswan and Wonderswan Color is definitely something I want to dive into one day. Im currently getting into PC Engine.
Thanks for watching!
Would like to get the orange pikachu version N64, but prices are too much for it.
I agree 100%! I used to have to blue one. But I like orange more!
Hi. This is quite of a weird request, but can you give extra screentime to the monitors and TVs? I really like all the different sets and designs for some reason, since they all remind me of my TOSHIBA DVD combo tv I have on a desk.
Hey Daniel! Not a weird request at all :D I really like monitors and TV's as well. Currently looking to get a PVM actually. Its just that its very hard to find in Japan. But I will see what I can do. Thanks for commenting!
Neo geo for the next gamehunt❤️
Your wish, is my law ❤️
@@RetroMoments ❤️
JP had way better covers on their games
Riiight! The difference is huge on the N64!
Would like to see some turbografx 16
Noted! Great idea!
That's right Adam. I remember buying a few Nintendo 64 units for like $20 Dollars complete. I mean, they were almost giving them away bro. 8^)
Anthony...
Oh man! What a deal, Anthony! Glad you jumped on it at the time.
Look out for the NEO GEO Special Hunt coming in a week or 2 :D
50 bucks now for a loose one. I remember getting a loose one at Hardoff in 2019 for 1000 yen.
Yea a lot has changed. Especially after the pandemic, there was a big increase in prices...
@@RetroMoments
Luckily on Yahoo auctions I am still able to get solid deals
Yes! For Nintendo stuff its definitely possible still. And like you said, probably the best deals are there now.
Can you get good deals on consoles and games in Akihabara ?
You can! But its definitely harder than its ever been before.
If i was there id buy 1 of each boxed game. Eventually the supply in japan will dey up because people are exporting the games with them when they leave.
Great strategy! I agree with you. We can already see less games of Mega Drive and Dreamcast for example. Very hard to find these days…
the real question is...what is Maidreamin
20:20
Haha stay tuned, I might reveal that in another video ;)
A Treasure Gaust!
No doubt! Get on it before its too late :D
Great finds but isn’t the N64 region locked?
Thanks! If youre in US you just cut two plastic pieces in your console and you can enjoy all the Japanese games!
All of them 😊
I like hearing that! 😃
Dreamcast and Shenmue 1 and 2
Staple games! Thank you for the input!
@@RetroMoments you're welcome
Can you recommend a shop in Tokyo to buy N64 console and games?
If you are going to one store… pick Surugaya!
@@RetroMoments Great thanks Mate
PC Big box! Or PC88/98 ^^
Haha, of course you would say that :D
I guess some of the collection loses its appeal when you can find it all and for a resonable price in Japan- for the japanese I mean.
I mean, I remember when you could find gamecube games for 50-100 kr (even good ones) and people refused to pick them up at GAME here in stockholm. try and get fire emblem or skies of arcadia for 50 kr today for your gamecube. its funny, I get the whole supply and demand and how it affect pricing, but its weird how people have no demand for these stuff when the supply is there.
nordic prices have gone on crack here in finland too.
Very interesting subject here, Quezcatol. I definitely think that the pricing matters in what people want and desire. I for one, have been following this, looking back at my journey collecting retro games. Like PS2 and GC for example, I didnt care about at all a few years ago. Now I like it way more when its getting harder to find... Crazy huh!?
@@RetroMoments japp!
Shit vad grejer de har 😊
Anton!!! Haha eller hur, bara åka dit och köpa medans det finns :D
are those N64's region locked to JP games?
edit: just checked, I would need to modify the console which sucks cus I want a clear blue one.
If you have a US console its very easy. You just change the back of the cartridge from a US game. Or you delete those two tabs in the cartridge slot of the console. Pretty simple process.
If you're from Europe. I still suggest you get a US or JAP console.
@@RetroMoments yea I have a 3D print of a replacement tab for the console.
Thats perfect! Good luck!
@@RetroMoments just gotta wait till I visit Japan this summer O_o
Oh during the summer. It gets really hot in Japan. Just fyi! :D
Herr. Moments har du ett vanligt jobb i Japan eller vad?
Haha ja! 2 st till och med! ;)
@@RetroMoments Ojojoj snygg Jobbat.
Man tackar, videokaninen!
Can you show me a hellos kitty Dreamcast and a coloured ps vita model 1000 & 2000 in every store lol and micro gameboy gameboy prices maybe there’s a few in junk or you never see them in junk? And psp consoles? The psp has gone up in price here in Canada in the last years just the console I noticed a increase in the price, I use to see them at $30 cad and $40cad now there at $100 the console psp can’t grab a 2nd too expensive atm. Oh don’t forget platform game gear games check those out lol I can keep going Adam your lucky I’m not in Japan yet lol too go to Japan I would have to save up a lot of money someone said $5000 that’s a lot to save what would you recommend people set aside to visit Japan because we aren’t all working like you there 😊 thank you for the video I mention your channel on the shorts video I just posted 😊❤
Hello Kitty Dreamcast is hard to find but I will try my best Sara :D I usually look at PS Vita's now. I am determined to find one for myself now. I just believe I will find it cheaper in Sweden. PS Vita aint popular there.
And yea, most consoles are going up in price nowdays. Handhelds especially.
5000 dollars!? No no. Plane ticket is more like 500, if you are flexible on dates. Then food is not that expensive I would say. Accomodation could be tricky though.
Thanks! :D
@RetroMoments Hi Adam 500 bucks usd to fly to japan wow i think from Canada its over $1000 good food is cheap well renting a room we can split the bill lol. The hello kitty dreamcast is way tol expensive i guess not worth it. ADAM i still want 2 Japanese vitas so please keep an eye out for 1000 and 2000 model color not black. You should take a photo at every store so we can conpare the prices at the end of july :)
@@RetroMoments have a great day ❤️ now time to edit my video with my friend chris from the retro store on sunday :)
Going to look at that soon :D
Yo is that Osu?
It certainly is dude!
How do you play final fantasy or Pokémon games without knowing Japanese? Lol that’s why platforms, shumps, fighting and racing is better to grab unless it’s super cheap and you want the art. Did you see chameleon Twist? Very cheap prices for N64 $2 and $3. Snowboard kids $4 bucks that’s Amazing I don’t that snowboard kid and it’s too expensive in Canada ebay.
Well, text based games in Japanese is going to be rough haha. Its more like if you already knew the game or played it when growing up. Otherwise like you said, I focus more on platformers, shooters, racing and fighting games instead. And artwork is always 100% better in Japan :D
@RetroMoments oh yes Japanese Art ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️
OMG this is making me sick. I probably spent thousands getting my collection here in the US.
Haha! Yea thats quite a difference! N64 just wasnt popular in Japan!
Psp hunting
Great idea! I just wish I knew more about PSP games…
It always blows my mind that they redo all the box art on these games... what a waste of effort. 99% of the time the Japanese box art is way better. Just translate and ship, jeeze
100% agree with you! Its Absolutely crazy that they thought they had to change it. But then again, Japanese anime wasnt as big back then.
