    It's great to see that you can still pick up lightguns for cheap. I find them all the time in the junk.
    And they're definitely getting more pricey in Europe now.

    • @RetroReWire
      @RetroReWire  9 місяців тому

      I agree, some places have light guns well under ¥1000. I’d like to add a Guncon3 to the collection. Cheers!

      I don't think you'll have too much trouble finding one. I see them fairly often. Pricing will vary depending on the shop and location.
      The shop in this video had them at a decent price.

    Was looking at the Nintendo switch consoles... So how much is it for a regular switch? I see some for 20k. Is that price inclusive of 20% discount or do I need to deduct the discount myself... Like 16k for the final price?

    • @RetroReWire
      @RetroReWire  8 місяців тому

      Yes, that's typically how they advertise their prices. You have the base price, and a yellow sticker lists the discount amount. The discount is then applied at the register.

      Yes, it’s priced at ¥3,800 before sales tax. Cheers!

    • @Bokuwachoppa
      @Bokuwachoppa 9 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for replying that is a really good deal because on ebay people are selling them for 100 usd also if you can check how much is the average price for a neogeo pocket I might go to japan soon so I would like to know how much it is

    • @RetroReWire
      @RetroReWire  9 місяців тому

      I picked up a couple of NG Pocket color handhelds this year. I paid ¥5,500 and ¥5,600 for each. One was sold as junk due to battery corrosion. The other included the box, but was missing the battery door.
      On average you can expect to pay around ¥10,000 for a working unit. With the box that price will increase a bit. The original non-color version is pricey, however. Cheers!@@Bokuwachoppa

      There will not be a drastic difference, and it certainly depends on what you're looking to buy, but the BOOK OFF may be slightly more affordable with regard to software. In general, the Trader stock will be superior. Cheers!

    Great Video as always! Especially it helps me a lot, especially to pick the spot for the visit in November. By the way, I sent the email to the address registered on your UA-cam channel but for some reason email did not go through. Would you kindly let me know to reach you by email (I don't do Insta or Facebook) to inquire about game tour?
