    I always like that you put the effort in to add a popup with some gameplay footage, I think that cost a lot of energy but it makes it watching 50x better... thanks for the effort.

    Thank you for the video. Hadn't listed this one on my map. I think that one of the reasons it is so well stocked is because it is 3km from the station, making it daunting for a lot of people.

    I'm in Japan currently game hunting, and I will say the thing that has been throwing me off the most is how widely differently priced games are for the same game even between hard offs and bookoffs. I found loose pokemon gba games for 550 and only picked my own copies up because I assumed that would be the price everywhere. The next cheapest I have found since is 2500. It's crazy.

    • @salva_75
      @salva_75 10 місяців тому +3

      The lesson when game hunting in Japan is to never pass up a deal if you see one. I've had exactly the same experience in the past and I'll be back in a few weeks and I'm definitely picking up good buys as and when I see them.

    • @4amLaundry
      @4amLaundry  10 місяців тому +1

      Yeah it's why I don't go to Book Offs a lot and just prefer to stick to Hard Offs, I have their point app so it adds up and I get discounts too.

    On the saturn I imported a Japanese one and a handful of games for a really great price! was collecting for a bit but paused after getting our dreamcast last christmas. been hyper focused on collecting for it but perhaps I need to resume collecting for saturn?! also have a modest SNES/SFC collection going too!

    • @4amLaundry
      @4amLaundry  10 місяців тому +1

      The Saturn is an amazing console to collect for in Japan, it's sometimes completely overlooked and it's the total opposite to the US version in terms of game prices. I absolutely love this console, amazing 2D graphics and RGB out of the box, plus near perfect arcade ports.
      I'm just holding out for a really nice one for the "perfect" price lol.

      I forgot to add it in the video but there's a universal attachment that records composite to SD card so you won't need tapes, that's usually broken on junk camcorders. It's like 100 bucks so saving up for it!

    One thing I've noticed is how say boxed used N64 games etc always look in mint condition in these type of videos. I guess they take more pride I looking after stuff. But despite my efforts, even my copy of Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 has a crease on the top. Same with my Hong Kong version of Ocarina Of Time unfortunately.

      @@4amLaundry Unless you really want to play something, If it's not complete and in decent condition, it's always better to put your money elsewhere and wait. I collect 12" Rave vinyl. Some of the prices are ridiculous now. Certain tunes will probably never be in my collection. But as I always say "You can't own them all". Cool video BTW though mate. I'd go crazy on those cheaper ones! Happy hunting bro. 💗👊🏻
