  • Another day, another game hunt here in Tokyo. I didn't have to go too far from home this time, taking the train over to Musashi-Koyama station. Just a short walk from there, a Hard Off packed with games and consoles. Awesome!

    I don't have any NeoGeo of any sorts, but I would have picked up a gamepad for the original NeoGeo if for a good price only because it is such a cool input device. The thumbstick is clicky!
    The NeoGeo Mini's gamepads got a boring analogue thumbstick that only emulates digital directions.

    Great video and pickups Jim! The PS1 and the PS2 are both overlooked consoles when it comes to shmups, like that Gradius III and IV collection you picked up. There’s even a Strikers 1945 collection on the PS2 and lots of great shmups on the PS1.

      @Hashiriya714 Рік тому

      I visited Japan 6 times in the last 17 years and my most recent trip was last month in Tokyo for 2 weeks. The MK franchise is not popular overall in Japan and the same goes with first person shooter games are not popular in Japan as well. I have never seen a MK arcade cabinet at the retro arcade game centers in Japan.

      ​@@selbyjohnson5986 Back when MK games were released in arcades, you'd see a couple of machines in the Jaapnese arcades. Though the games were never particularly popular in Japan the way they were in the west, it is a highly recognized series in Japan, particularly among gamers.

    shout-out to belt-action collection I picked that up myself not too long ago, imported that off of amazon! Just thought it would be cool to own a physical edition. (the inside artwork is great too, peep the little Haggar sprite beneath where the cart sits!) Gradius 3&4 I definitely want to import at some point, that and part 5! always fun to watch these pickup videos sometimes it'll even inspire me in my collecting!
