I love that “going into the countryside to find some random hard offs” is a totally legitimate sentence now thanks to your videos 😂
"hard off" is such a bizarre shop name considering "hard on" means something completely different
Responding to OP - Yeah!
@@jacktangent I think that's the joke here; Intended or not...
Elliot even made a joke about that in one of his videos there; There, being Japan as a whole, not just the Hard Off stores...
@@jacktangent yeah but it kinda makes sense.
The “hard” is short for “hardware” just like their other stores Book-off and tool-off.
Liqour-off is actually the funniest branch name
6:51 oh hello there
Loving the content, japan, the drama with the deer, but the cinematography is sooo good! well done Elliot! its great to experience Japan vicariously through you! hopefully ill be doing this next year, but until then im loving the content.
Going to Japan next year myself for vacation. Good luck! :)
That quick pan to the deer head killed me 😂
Ahahah, I’m watching Elliot for 4-5 years, and he hasn’t change. Forever young))
Oh dear (6:40)
It blew my mind to see a Sega controller on display @ 1:54
ikr like what is that doing there? xd
Those are the controllers for Nintendo Switch Online (which also features SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis games in the expansion pack) including said SEGA controller. Still, a SEGA controller officially licensed and produced by Nintendo is both pretty weird and cool.
I really like the little side trip with the deer and shrine. That bit of culture set this apart from other videos I've seen about game shopping in Japan.
I wish this series would never end!! 😄
It's good that you give us the opportunity to see these wonderful things with you, Elliot. Nice video!
Love this series
00:08 Super... Potatoes??
Please take me to Japan
Easily my favorite vlog episode so far! Can't wait to see the rest of your adventure!
This is awesome content!! I’ve loved this series! I feel like each time you release a video the production quality just keeps getting better and better! You’re doing awesome Elliot please keep it up!
Some really good filmography going on in this video, great framing and well executed pans and zooms
I really love this series. Japan looks amazing!
Awesome to see some more content form you Elliot! I've missed you! And I would love to go there for the gaming culture!
I love your videos so much. They bring me such joy. Thank you
The videography is STUNNING 😍😍 commentary the perfect mix of witt, information and funny comments ❤❤ LOVED THIS VID
I cant remember if I've said it before, but tye quality of your cinematography (if thats even the right word for it, but you know what I mean) is incredible. This is great, it reminds me of something you'd see on a TV network in the US called Vice. They do a ton of documentaries on obscure parts of the the world, places forgotten but not gone.
The entrance is the the Pokémon wireless communication gate. That's such a nice touch.
Wow Elliot what beautiful scenery you shot in this video! The deer were the best part for me! They were so cute and calm!!
Nara and the big temple there are insane. Such a visit worth making.
Amazing ultra smooth video wow
absolutely beautiful
dude love these videos and the store tours idea is so cool - love the editing and overall vibe
In the big cities like Toyko, Kyoto, and Osaka the Nintendo Store and Pokemon Center can get quite busy but there are almost always some nice exclusives (excluding resellers of course). They not massive stores but they are pretty dense.
I actually started to use Sendico thanks to your videos even though i'm not a video game collector. Found some real nice antique darumas and hand-carved stuff on yahoo japan auctions via them! Expensive, beautiful tchochkes
I was there a few months ago! I really loved that Nintendo Store!!! Was able to buy all the NSO exclusive controllers haha
That was fun. Great Stuff!
That's really impressive!
Amazing 😍 what a trip
hey elliot great work as always. this japan series is top notch.
since you’re there, you now must have a great feeling of the market prices for game boys and such. i was wondering would you be able to give us noobs some price points to take in account for the consoles to avoid getting a bad bargain using sendico for example? thanks
seems like a cool place to visit.
I absolutely love this series i wish i could visit japan
Dude you are lucky that those deers didn’t end you when you ran out of crackers. Never show the deer that you are out of crackers.
Hard Off was my favorite store to checkout while living there. Cheap video games, systems, mint condition CDs, and sooo many used electronics everywhere! I should’ve stocked up more before moving back stateside. 😑
This is really cool, looks like ya'll are having fun! Wish we had a Hard-Off around here lol.
That exact super potato in Osaka was the ONLY place in Japan I found a boxed copy of a gameboy colour game I'd been hunting for (future video I'll be making for sure!!), and best of all since it was not one of the poster child games I actually think I managed the impossible and got a good price from Super potato hahaha!!
Super potato is just one of those places where you wish you had the mega coins to pick up so many nice condition boxed goods 😅
6:48 that deer munching on that paper
Oh man, I'd have liked for the video to be a little longer - specially the Nintendo+Pokemon store section of the video. Those stores are unreal by the way, like a throwback to the past.
this is so awesome..... quick question, when you go into these shops do you ask permission to film or just do it subtly? i wanna do a similar vlog when I visit but dunno if asking 動画撮っていい？would go down well
This video almost made me cry ಥ‿ಥ
I was in Nara earlier this year and one of the deer started following me and ramming its head into my back (in a friendly way) when I stopped feeding him. Most of them are really tame, though, and they even bow to greet you if you do the same.
That was a pretty fun one. Those deer 🦌 really loved those crackers.
There was a Tomica shop on the 13th floor too I'd love to see that.
Love the Japan trip series mate - but that potato shop can jam it...way too expensive - if I ever get there...Hard Offs will be the place to go!
4:48 I want that Torchic Gameboy Advance so bad lol
I love hard off hunting. You can even get nintendo switch games for cheaper there. Some cool titles there too, like i got a re release of batsugan for sega saturn with a really cool looking folder included. Other stuff i got were some cool neo geo cd games and pc engine cd games.
@ 4:50 that was 8 Bit Music Power Final by RIKI you shoulda grabbed that! OHH MAN and ASTRO NINJA MAN just chillin behind it! Really should have got that! Not sure if youve heard of it but amazing NES/Famicom game
Bro just added a Toyota Century in the B-Roll !!! it's like a Shiny for Toyota :D
NICE
wish the NYC store was this good
welcome japan.
I saw that the Tomy Plarail store is next to it and my nostalgia bug exploded
I wish to go there
You should make a gameboy for cold time hockey
@TheRetroFuture, did you use different export settings? This video looks more crisp than the others. Just wondering. Thanks.
what camera do you use cause, wow
noooo, im not ready for the final episode :"(
I really wanna go to japan after seeing this video😭😭
Oppenheimer... i sleep.
Osaka Nintendo store and Pokemon Center... gimme!
Wow I'm sure Japan looks absolutely amazing and I'd really love to go there sometime in the future.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
btw, I dunno where they got it, but someone me and my brothers know, brought to our house a tin of snacks, and the tin case it was in, had on it a Pokemon parody image of the Famicom artwork of Super Mario Bros 3. It was literally just the SMB3 Famicom artwork, but with Pokemon instead of Mario characters. Pikachu dressing up like Mario, I think, for example
Those deer are so cute 😅
Really good video but you should upload on 4k pls😢
Awesome
I've actually been attacked by a deer at our local wildlife park, it bit me on the back, my side and stomped me with both feet lol. Mofo kicked my ass.
Wow!
Love him and his videos but I just wanna know did that lady ever get her paper back?
So funny, I was in Osaka literally just 3 days ago, Denden Town is so much more fun than Akihabara in Tokyo - have been posting some shorts and vids on @pointlesswalking from the gundam store and gashapon-hunting and some arcades with more to come from super potato and the arcades and the backstreet shops - even found an electronics shop with full stock of arcade machine parts in Osaka, all the JFL-sticks and restrictors and buttons and Otto-upgrades in stock - Osaka also has some good arcades with actuall old games, even found a couple of Street fighter 2 rainbow edition machines - but back Tokyo now to raid the side streets of Akihabara inside the tiny tinkerer market at Tokyo Radio Department with all the grungy dirty famicoms and mods they have - good times - and great series of videos you’ve made from Japan, so fun to watch them again now that I’m here :)
After many trials and tribulations, I finally have a near-mint silver Game Boy Light with no screen issues whatsoever and only one tiny nick on the battery cover. Despite living in Japan from 2005-2007, I only found out about the holy grail of Game Boys through this channel many years later. It really is a glorious piece of hardware; my hands find the GBA SP awkward to hold, which makes sense as it was intended for kids, but the Game Boy Light is perfect. Now I just need to find a boxed Famitsu 500 version with the buxom astronaut being drooled over by a little alien bro, and my life will be complete.
It will be mine.
Dang, that Nintendo Store is at least 2-3 times more reverent of Nintendo products and history than the NYC Nintendo Store!
LMAO the deer eating the woman's paper
Super potato probally wasn't as pricey until people on social media kept recommending it and made it even more popular. That they can charge what they want which defeats the purpose of gettin a deal; might as well just buy online.
6:59 people are touching grass you might have heard of it mayhaps
holy shit i think that Pikachu GBA SP you showed off in that 1st hard off I ended up buying when I went there back in June (if thats the hard off thats right next to what I think is a big highway kinda outside of nara)
I can confirm, that was the one!
The. Nintendo. Store. in. Japan. Unreal
Hi Elliott. 👋
Super Potato prices are outrageous as usual. Have been to a Pokemon center in Tokyo couple of years ego. Prices there were actually very descent.
For people that eat whale and raw fish, you'd think they would figure out how good those deer taste
Super Potato, it's called?
First time you said it, I thought you said "Soup 'n' Potato". Thought you were going to get lunch or something.
Im so yappy😮 0:50
Thanks for the heart thingy
I subscribed. Where's my egg?
Deers two!?
❤️
I went to super potato in Asakusa and it was tiny and everything was way overpriced. Went to a Book Off in Narita and got a New 3ds LL for 56 bucks converted to USD. Winner.
Wait a moment was that not a mega drive controller above the n64 controller in the nintendo display!?!
Nice
I went to the Nintendo store in N.Y
03:29 미뇽 너무 귀여워ㅠㅠㅠ뭘 저리 소중하게 쟁여놓은걸까
I'll bet you were Sika deer after those encountres.
LETSGO
Finally my woomy girl gets respect in a thumbnail
I have a feeling you'd love it where I live. We get whole herds of deer roaming the neighborhood, and even though it's technically illegal here, just about everyone feeds them and they really swarm. It's kind of funny watching them raise a hoof to each other fighting over food, and the baby deer are so cute.
@4:50 "Not For Sale" what was that?
Not for sale, easy to understand.
my only thing is you cant play the game systems on US things. like I wanna buy a n64 and stuff but can I use them? let alone can I take it on a carry on bag? lol
What the i thought those deers where robots.
and here I am trying to find game and watches that haven't been mauled by an angry racoon
pls 3ds xl
Nara Dreamland
UA-camr going to Japan good ending
