Hearting every comment for the first few hours!
Ok
wow that is so fricking awesome and generous
@@slitbodmod02 he is spoiling us like ferrero rocher
How few is few?
@@dogg-pawsYou found out
I love the Hotel's desire to still retain the building's history, especially as the roots of Nintendo's activities and history. I enjoy how authentic it is in nature.
That's kinda how Kyoto is in general, being that it was Japan's capital all the way until the Tokugawa shogunate. There's a lot of proud history there.
@@warbossgegguz679 For sure. Would absolutely love to visit at some point
Keeping the tradition of Nintendo's greed by charging 1k a night
@@neverlucky3406 It's probably a tactic to keep attendance low. That building isn't very large.
@@neverlucky3406 Well you clearly let them live rent free in your head at least.
So many Nintendo items considered "Extremely rare" in the United States and Europe are so easy to come by in Japan itself it baffles my mind. Although it does make sense since it's the country it all was made in the first place back in the day.
That's always interesting to me too. It's the same with Pokemon cards. Japan exclusive cards, are just regular cards in Japan...so there's no premium for it domestically. It might still be rare and expensive, but it will be cheaper than anywhere else since you have to import it there.
Same with JDM cars.
I like the fact that you always try to show us some history and nature through your videos. Good work!
Title should have been: "I found the rarest Pokemon DS In Japan (and looked at it for 10 seconds)"
That car at 5:46 ❤ Japan is famous for its car modifying culture and that was quite the classic car.
This is like watching an anime come to life. Just few mates going around Japan hunting for bargains! Love all the episodes of this trip so far!
Gotta be honest. I just skipped to the ds
5 months later but same
It looks like most did 😂
Kinda crazy how not everything retro-gaming related over there hasn't been speculated in to the sky.
Really wanted that Mew DS when I was younger, but as I was still in my mid teens and didn’t have the luxury of disposable income like I do now, I never was able to get one. I wish I had got one though as always loved the subtle Mew silhouette by the speakers. I would have definitely snapped that up if I had found it.
As a huge Xbox fan it was so heartwarming to see you standing outside the Sony buildings with your Game Gear.
Your B Roll shoots are so enchanting and calming to look at, excellent video, keep up the good work!
These vlogs are so well shot, the editing is fantastic, and your sarcasm stays amazing haha
But seriously this whole series of you traveling Japan has been so cool 😎 imma be sad when they stop lol
That Sharp Twin Famicom was C H E A P. I am so jealous, I have wanted one for years!!!
I just bought a mint condition gameboy micro form japan- i’m not keen of traveling to japan, but sendico’s got me covered.
One thing I noticed during my trip there was the sheer amount of Yugioh games that were found in the hard off and hobby off stores. Everyone must’ve had Yugioh on the gameboy back in the day 😅
Video Title and then its just mentioned 3 second from a 12.30 min video. lol
5:45 still peaceful with that sound
The videography is unreal, some awesome shots!
ur-eye-nals
The rarest Nintendo thing ever: the Astroboy Gameboy giveaway, that never happened. Its so rare that it is actually a Nintendon't
I traveled to Japan in 2006 and got one of those Japanese e-reader devices. I also got a few Pokémon cards back then. Sadly, the e-reader did not work with European Pokémon games, so I only got to use one or two cards that included a standalone mini game. :( I still have the item though. :)
I'll never forget when a friend and tutor of mine in college back in 2012 was on a trip to Japan. And out of nowhere, with no expectation or prior setup just randomly runs into Eiji Aonuma and takes a selfie with him. Complete freak, on in a million chance.
Never know what you might find. From the history, architecture, nature, expression. To hidden treasures
Love this series
I really ought to shop through Sendico if prices are low as seen in most of your videos. The American market is chock full of scalpers who "know what they have". According to them, I'm sitting on a gold mine. If you're selling NDS game carts, take it easy, okay? An out-of-box copy of the _Metroid Prime Hunters_ demo is NOT worth $45.
This is so cool! I wish that I could go to Japan and buy a ton of old consoles and make a huge collection.
Hi Mr retro future I started to watch you around two and a half years ago and I just want to thank you because now I have a most every Nintendo handheld which I have wanted to do when I first started watching you. I even started a retro gaming channel called dsgameboy because of you so thanks again.
I went last month. Nintendo HQ's lawnscaper needs a raise. That grass was wild! I hit up 711 tbh
Sendico is perfect, thanks to sharing it to me, I bought a Poké-plush in Japan with them ! Super good and good pricing !
Thank you for your videos Eliott as always! The fact that you actually stay natural and true to yourself makes it much more pleasant to watch. Have fun in Japan, I'm going there next year Hopefully 😁
Miss living in Japan in many ways but oh boy the second hand stores were always just such great places to stop by 🤩
Dude, seeing not the red 3DS for $20 but the charcoal one behind it, going for like $28, makes me wanna cry. I just bought a cosmetically flawless new 3DS XL for $280😂 2 weeks ago.
6:15 This shirt gives me life
8:10 Classic Densha de Go! Nobody expects train games.
Awesome you went to the Nintendo headquarters! I went there aswell when I was on vacation in Japan!
“So guys I just went for a wee in the castle” - TheRetroFuture 2023
as a manga and videogame lover, i see this as an absolute win
I want to go to Japan just for the games. As soon as I can afford it I’ll go
It not the original HQ, it was second building to serve as a HQ. The newest HQ you saw. At least you didn't claim the R&D building as the HQ like a lot of other vloggers. When I lived in Kyoto(I lived on the same street as Kinkakuji) there were other building blocking the view of the HQ from the R&D building. I think those new buildings inbetween may belong to Nintendo now.
„Anything of interest here“ rolling past a 8£ smash bro‘s gamecube controller, damn, if that things working fine i‘d have taking it gladly
That Gameboy Advance is about average price for a used one in Canada on the marketplace. It's crazy how much people trying to sell these consoles for especially in crap condition!
Love that you gave mini history lessons in this!! Always love hearing things I can actually apply to life
"12800 yen for a GameBoy Advance? I'd rather not."
Bro I would KILL for GameBoys under $100. Stores near me are upwards of $250 for a freaking GBA.
that urinal comment had to be a joke 😂
upon looking it up, the rockman blue sp was bundled with Battle Network 4 (known as Tournament Red Sun/Blue Moon in japan)
10/10 would learn that old castles have working plumbing again!
I visited the Nintendo headquarters in the snow in January 2017. A magical experience. Played Alone in Kyoto by Air for my soundtrack.
Really funny watching you get closer and closer to my house. Kyoto has a lot of cheap game stores near the touristy area, but I haven't been recently.
Great news, original and DS lites were region free. Didn't matter where you got one.
God, I so badly want more money to buy more cool stuff like this
the super cheap one is usually kinda broken tho
I came for rare Nintendo stuff, I stayed for the awesome Japanese and Nintendo history lesson.
These videos are awesome, love your content and your trip to Japan so far! So much retro consoles/gamesQ
Some may say the Hotel is Simple and Clean.
Title should have been: "I found the rarest Pokemon DS In Japan (and looked at it for 10 seconds)" :(
02:34 random Lego! If i had to guess it's the street ot buildings that the original Nintendo HQ / hotel is on.
My friend found a Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD-71 brand new in its box, with an obviously dead battery(restored since, by me) in Kyoto, in the same Hard-Off you have been into :)
It works fine, I even shot 10 floppies full of photos since :)
It looks nice over there. Ever since pearl harbor everything is practically new...well since then.
I have never in my life heard someone say “urinals” like that. How bizarre.
never tired myself to see Japan an weird console stuff...keep going dude
Man I'd love to go to every one of those hardoff shops and get my hands on some of those film cameras. It's definitely on my bucket list to go to japan and experience it first hand. The car culture there is something else.
I missed out on Nintendo's old HQ when I was in Japan back in 2018, it's definitely on the list for next time!
I would've immediately bought that Mew DS and the anniversary GameBoy Micro.
Cool to see the building where Nintendo sends their cease and desists from
4:02 their buildings look almost identical
i love this series, crazy that theres still more coming. i hope one day ill be able to visit Japan one day and check out some of these stores
I don't own any Nintendo devices, but I enjoy your content. Cheers from Port Hughes in South Australia.
heads up: the train controller is for ps2 (there is a pc version too but its rly rare) and its the spinoff of Densha de Go focused on trams (Densha de Go! Ryojō-hen)
LOVE it. I want to do this someday. You're really living the dream mate.
Nearly 1K a night. They must be out of their minds.
I'm really loving this series! I'm looking forward to the next part.
I love how they just have a PS VR chilling there. Definitely would’ve picked up the Sharp Famicom for 5,500 yen. 10:33
This looked like such a fun trip! All sorts of retro hardware, too! Also the name Hard-Off makes me laugh.
The backwards base ball cap is very cool 😅
loving this series! and your Channel Elliot! Keep it up for this great content. I am huge massive fan of Retro gaming though. I hope I can visit Japan and buy some cool stuff there!🤩🤩🤩
What did you just call the urinals?
08:07 Broooo you shoulda grabbed that 8bit Music Power Final!! Ohhh man
Best feeling ever finding the things you love I absolutely want to start collecting every Nintendo device
5:03 woooooow a peugeot car in japan !!
I actually bought just the Mee ds itself a couple years back. The phat ds is my preferred way to play my older games, and Mew my favorite Pokémon. So I had too. I would like a complete box. But I’m content with what I have because at one point. This will be for my children
I hope that one day, someday in my life, I can visit Japan. It's so much a part of my interests as a child growing up, and as an adult I feel very inspired by it~
You always find the coolest stuff man 💪🏻
11:01 is when he talks about it
Man I was in Japan for 2 weeks and I missed the Hard Offs in Kyoto 😢 but the ones in Akihabara were legit 😮💨
The train controller ("mascon"-type controllers) is for PS2, if I'm not wrong.
8:49 I saw that place in a dream once, but it was dark. idk kinda weird.
Mario wonder being played on the NEW switch was happening during this filming
Can’t wait to see what you got !!! That mew ds is awesome !
hey! I'm a new follower, Im a 12yr old boy who absolutely LOVED old retro games, I'm planning on buying a GBA very soon, I have a nes and 2 game and watch's, I just wanted to say that your channel is absolutely Awsome and has kept me interested in retro games, love the vid ❤
Your videos are so good. I love watching them. Keep up the good work. Thanks
The Louie Theroux of the gaming world
There is a hard-off in hachioji, tokyo that is 4 storey building. Also, there's another hard-off a very wide one underneath it is a supermarket. I bought a lot of gameboy games there for only ¥300, nds consoles for only ¥500 and soft vinyl ultraman figure for only ¥100 each...
That walkman looked gorgeous indeed
I wonder if they had more walkmans there...
im not a proffesional but i feel $600 for that Mew DS is a really fair asking price
man I wish I could go there, all the old stuff here is so over priced it's insane.
I thought you found a nintendo wii in the toilet when you said your taking a wii in the bathroom!
I woulda bought that micro immediately I always wanted one
This videos are so comfy.
Love these videos, so interesting to watch. If i was over there my number one gaming system i would be hunting for would be the Sega Saturn, my favourite system. The amount of treasure for that system in Japan is staggering.
So many cool stuff just in junk lots.. here we have not even close of so much stuff.
