This video right here reignited my drive to vacation in Japan in 2024. Awesome stuff, man!
Its so cool have fun ! 😮
Same! Where can we sign up for the group discount? 😅
Did you end up going to Japan?
You recently did a poll over whether or not we would want more Japan vlogs... and I mean of course the answer is yes, because it's great content! However... I do miss more of your old mod and restoration videos. Even if it is a lot of stuff you've shown before, I think it would be pretty cool for you to do more of that stuff and maybe branch out to home consoles and such. Keep doing what you do!
Who doesn't
I'm glad to see a stack of faulty stuff in this haul
Fun fact, in the UK, the Gameboy Camera was the first time we ever saw a Pokémon on Nintendo hardware, through the stickers you could place on photos. Im 98% sure of this after checking the dates myself, with a memory as a kid of wondering who these strange things were meant to be. A couple of years later, the answer came.
Love that you kept pulling stuff out and saying, “Why have I bought that!”😂😂😂
Me when I order stuff from Sendico
Bro will buy anything from Japan i reckon lol.
Believe me, we questioned it at the time 🤣
RF is exactly the opposite of Tito : "I regret not buying that so and so" 😂
I have always wanted to go to Japan, not just for the gameboys but for the sightseeing
Same, just not the cities at all. never did like them.
Yeah, you can see a lot of really pretty landscapes on the countryside@@shaungreer3350
Same here!
So much cool stuff! The Toys'R'us GBA is so beautiful but the Pokémon VHS Player is by far my favourite one.
The GBA link cable was used with Legend of Zelda Four Swords. When you and your friends went into a cave, your party would show up on the GBA! It is also how you went to Cap’n’s island when playing the first Animal Crossing!
And for Windwaker too! Tingle totally has a mad cameo in it
And FF crystal chronicles too. My friend and I recently played that game using our gameboy sps as controllers, you view and manage your inventory and read letters etc on your sp screen while you play on the tv
5:17 They actually released these for Club Nintendo in America as well, I should see if I can find the one I got way back when when I go back home. I believe the carved writing in the ds game slots on the left are just from the previous owner hahaha
Ahh that pokemon vhs player looks so cool, never seen that before! The walkman looks soooo retro haha, love it. Nice pickups mate.
THE SODA CAN CAMERA WAS EPIC! Ive got a boxed lime dsi and it's an... interesting color. You got a lotta good stuff! That walkman was incredible, and as usual, all the game boys, ds's and accessories were all also simply amazing! I look forward to seeing future (heh) videos from you!
I loved all the game stuff, but that Sony Walkman was a beauty! I love collecting both games and walkmans, so watching all these videos was a absolute joy. Thank you for making these vlogs 😄
So many cool accessories from japan! Wish I could go there one day
Don't forget you can still buy things as seen in this video directly from Japan via services like Sendico. They actually sponsored his Japan visit by paying for his stay and travel
@@FederalBureau_OfInvestigations true
Oh happy days, kid in a toy store. Enough videos in the pipeline to keep you busy and us entertained for months ;) thanks Sendico for making this all happen.
Best items by far are the Walkman and the VCR ;)
It’s so weird how I live in Japan and never find these stuff as cheap as Elliot does
Awesome video! Sadly, my wife and I just left Japan, and it was the experience of a lifetime! I'm really happy that you were able to explore most of Japan and find such rare crazy items that most people have never seen! For anyone watching this video I implore you to go to Japan! The food, culture, and lifestyle is so much different from the west! While I was there I was able to get a Gameboy Advance ( transparent pink) a Gameboy Advance SP ( Silver) and nintendos new Game and Watch devices! (Mario & Zelda) all the devices worked and were in excellent condition that it was hard to justify if they really were used! Also, the prices for these devices are insanely low! I even bought the same Black Gameboy you showcased for my Mom! ( Hers broke some years back ) I also sent her the Sega Mega leather case with the Gameboy inside! (That Sega Mega case makes great gift wrapping lol) lastly I got my wife and I matching Casio watches that were some kind of limited gold edition watches! I can go on and on for hours but for anyone watching, please go and bring whoever you can to share the experience with! Also, if you don't climb Mt. Fuji... you bound to come back to Japan ( At least that's a US Navy saying!)
I know you said "I don't think many other people are going to find that cool" about the microfiber cloth, well I assure you all of us here think all of this is cool and we all love your reactions of excitement for simple things like a microfiber cloth with the DS logo on it.
I really hope we get to see that Pokemon VCR repair and you showing those Sonic VHS on that
I remember my older sister bought me that PSP Value Pack and totally surprised me on Christmas. How I wish I still had it.
Just returned from 3 years in Japan. Aw man it was such a good time. Saw a lot and went everywhere but sometimes there was nothing better than finding a hard off store during them travels 😩😩😩
YESSS THE MOMENT WE'VE EAGERLY BEEN WAITING FOR OMG
This silver game boy color is GORGEOUS
This is a really nice collection! That ToysRUs GBA was an absolute no-brainer, it was so cheap! I'm jealous :D
You’re not the only one 😶
The Pokémon Center GBC is my fav i would cherish that forever
that can camera instantly became my favorite item NGL. i also love that VHS player too! This makes me really want to go to japan for a shopping excursion, purely for video game and tech goodies.
Omg, i had that psp value pack when i was a kid, wow the memories it brought back when you showed the box. literally exact man.
The GBA to GC link cable allowed you to use the GBA as a controller for Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles; both would show player specific information on the GBAs screen. I'm sure there were some other games that worked with it, but those were the major ones.
You could also use it to transfer some pokemon between gen3 games and pokemon colosseum, pokemon channel, etc.
Another game with good GBA link support is Rayman 3, which has this minigame where one player on the TV is trying to get through a race track of sorts that's being constructed in real time by a GBA player. It's a lot of fun with a friend, and there's also a 2v2 version of that minigame (good luck unlocking it though)
Nice to see all the great stuff you bought! One thing I do know, is that the Game Boy Advance adapter supports The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords for GameCube. Parts of the game were played on the GBA if you had it hooked up. Very cool. Game Boy Camera brought back memories for me as well.
My favourite item must be that gorgeous Sony Walkman, that black and teal combo is just stunning.
This should be an instructional video on how to spot ADHD in adults.
Bro what 💀💀
@iforgor1028 Relax dude I just meant he's so excited and jumping from item to item 😂
This is going to be a great video to watch!
A handheld console that plays most retro is necessary, lets call it CRAZY BOY !!😅
Really love that PSP value set in the box. ❤
10/10 would watch another 20 minutes of you going bananas for retro tech. also that pokemon center gb is SUBLIME
That VCR is incredible! Very jelly you found that! Hope you can get it working!
First comment ❤
Loved your Japan series!
You've helped me grow my love for retro tech, gameboys, and repairing my own stuff. Thanks Elliot!
This right here. Is what ive been waiting for. Every episode was a cliff hanger
I've always wanted a GameBoy when I was a kid, but they were stupidly expensive. And nowadays they're practically impossible to find in my country.
13:20 Techmoan would be so jealous
my favorite thing from this video is the inspiration to save up and go to japan myself
Was so excited to see this video after watching the blog. But omg a Pokémon VHS player? Can’t wait for the fix it video! I really want to go to Japan now and buy some cheap consoles lol
that kirby Game is called "Coro Coro Kirby" aka "Kirby's Tilt n Tumble" comes in a special cartridge to allow the use of motion controls. If played on a gameboy player you have to tilt the entire gamecube.
Elliot: "Let's unbox everything I bought in Japan."
*Unboxes all of Japan*
6:10 Great material for a video!
Pokémon Colosseum and XD used it for both trading and a battle mode with Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Firered and Leafgreen.
Zelda Four Swords Adventures allowed to use up to 4 GBAs to have gameplay on both the TV and GBA screen, years before the WiiU was a thing! =D
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is a (quite expensive) fan favourite with GBA connectivity as well!
Oh man, AC e+ is really neat-- has some extra stuff that isn't in the worldwide GC version! Really unique and cool! Great video as always, love seeing the spoils!
I had the charging dock imported when I got the n3ds XL and I still use it. Nice to see they're still around.
seeing you geek out over unboxing everything was so wholesome!
Yeah, the cardholder is for the trains. Suica and pasmo are for Tokyo, and Icoca is for the Osaka area, although they all work everywhere; it's just more about which is available where.
Bro I’m just catching up on your videos and I cannot believe this haul. I need to be in Japan asap. I loved the gold steering wheel and I cannot wait to see that play it loud polished up. My favourites could easily be that Pokémon centre Gameboy, the VHS player, and that that sick little Sony microphone
That walkman oh my god. I didn't know until this video but I need this!
I always wanted to take a vacation in Japan, however seeing your videos it seems like it'd turn into a retail therapy trip. Seriously need to bring a solid thousand just to grow my crippling addiction for retro video games and tech.
That VCR looks beautiful in that color, time to play with Sendico.
That toys r us gba is beautiful. Blue is my favorite color and that shade is stunning!
I love Elliot's videos because theyre always full of surprise
Another wonderful morning coffee to go with a classic retro future video. Love it!
When you mentioned the VHS tape I was expecting a normal one, but then you blew me away that it’s _not_ ordinary! I really like the Sonic tapes. It reminds me of the 90s when my older brothers owned these kinds of treasures! Lovely haul you have for sure!
The Pokémon VHS player is so cool. Can't wait to see a video on it!
Awesome series! I enjoyed every episode. I am currently starting my own retro tech channel and you’re a big inspiration! Just hit a 100 subs🎉
The real treasure was the geek memories we made along the way
I too am looking forward to the unboxing mystery Game Boy games video. I vaguely remember seeing one of your previous Japan videos where you got these games and for the longest time have been super curious about them.
I love the Club Nintendo packagings too, they just design it so well!
Wow, that Walkman is incredible! Nice haul 😁
Great haul! The Walkman is definitely my favorite one, a timeless piece of a time that doesn't come back.
I saw a quick glance of those Sonic promo VHS tapes in the Japan vlogs and I was praying you picked them up, glad you did. That Sonic 3 one is a cool watch even if you don't know Japanese.
It was all building up to this. And i love it!
FINALLY, been waiting for this one.
The way you spun that 3DS pen stylus
I had one of those GBA cables for the GameCube. I had it to use the GBA for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles in multiplayer mode. It had your GBA show a mini map on the screen as well as to be the controller, it was awesome. I’m not sure what other games it worked for as crystal Chronicles is the only game I used it for.
Also used for Zelda - Four Swords Adventures!
General grievous: your gameboys will make a fine addition to my collection
This is so cool!!!! The animal crossing for the GameCube is 1000% my favorite thing from this haul but that camera at the end was pretty sick too
I love that ds light that’s all navy blue. Didn’t even know they made one that color
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles was one of the few games that made use of the GC->GBA cable, but it was really necessary to get the best out of multiplayer
The Retro Future: "This is really cool!"
The Retro Future w/ the same product after 10 seconds: "I don't know why I bought this"
The Famicom Disk System Suica card holders are phenomenal, I want 'em
I enjoyed watching your Japanese haul vlog.
lolol the alligator teeth game is actually super popular in america too -- almost every kid born in the 90s had one
the pokemon vhs was the cherry on top!
Oh lawdy, Christmas came! Thanks so much again Elliot for bringing us along on your adventure!
Animal crossing used the cable. You got a mini game where you traveled to an island and met new villagers.
I’m kind of envious of that pokemon VHS player. I don’t know if my Dad still kept our VHS and Betamax players, but I believe we still have a working CRT chilling at the back of our house where we normally do are bbqs. ❤
My favorite was the midnight blue, I got one a few years back is similar condition and while it wasn't cheap it's my holy grail rn.
Surround yourself with stuff u love
The Kirby GBC game is "Tilt 'n Tumble" called "KoroKoro" in Japanese
Damn, now I really need to go to Japan!
You did buy a lot of good stuff with memories. Love this video very much.
I missed to visit book off in my last Japan tour. Hope I can find good stuff liked u next time.
That is one hell of an awesome haul there from Japan. That Atomic Purple GameBoy pocket looks awesome.
Honestly, I adore the Pingu mini controller! ♡
All of this is gorgeous! Nice scores
Amazing haul with all kinds of neat little knick-knacks. Really excited to see some restoration videos!
Oh Yes! There you go! That’s amazing stuff!
Absolutely LOVED your Japan travel series (started checking out Sendico immediately)... but please add this final haul video to the end of your playlist! Excellent work, Elliott... I really hope you get to do another travel series... maybe in a different country?!
This was dope lets me know about these items out there and if they'd be worth pursuing for my collection. Great vid.
The GBA to GC link cable did wonders for Super Mario Advance 4: SMB 3 if you had the E-Reader and the SMB 3 E-Reader cards. At one point in my life, I had every single E-Reader card. I kept them in a 3-ring binder because the cards fit perfectly in the pouch sheets that are used for baseball trading cards. When you have Super Mario Advance 4 plugged into your GameCube via the GB Player, the GBA connected via the link cable, and the E-Reader connected to the GBA, you can do some wild things with the game. Such as unlocking new areas, quickly adding extra lives, and giving you Kribo's Shoe at any time. These extra features are dependent on which E-Reader card you swiped.
The language of the psp can be changed to english, and if you hack it you can even swap the functions of X and O in the recovery menu. Have done this on the couple of JP psps I have.
my favorite item is the pokemon vhs player, definately wanna see that thing working and in a nice setup again
when I was a kid we had a game similar to that crocodile. it was a lot bigger but you had to use these plastic forceps that came with to take turns removing a tooth each turn and one of the teeth will trigger the crocodile to bite down on your hand and that person loses the round. kind of morbid thinking about it now, just pulling out every tooth until you find the painful one lol
Man, for the stuff that needs belts I feel a @Techmoan collaboration. Seriously I'd pay money for that!!
Probably the belts have gone gummy. Techmoan has some good repair videos of VHS players.
And yes. That thing with a CRT and a pikachu y4ellow N64? As a 90's teen? Certified Fresh.
My favorite item ? THAT Pokemon VHS! Can't wait for the video on that one :)
That GameCube to GameBoy advance adapter is meant to be used with Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
Chalice holders: IYKYK
I have that same white Nintendo 3DS dock, it can be found anywhere the 3DS was sold
"I don't know why I bought that." Literally me after every purchase.
