    You could always pick up a giant hard sided suitcase from Don Quijote like I had to in order to get all the stuff you over buy home. Japan Is a dangerous place for collectors.

      The highlight was the wireless Konami controller that I picked up. The satellite-looking receiver is pretty neat. Cheers!

    Thanks for sharing. I was hoping to see more switch software and hardwares. Will you be doing another video on that?

    • @RetroReWire

      Absolutely! I’ll cover the switch hardware and software in greater detail in a future video, stay tuned! Cheers!

    A bit of an overprice on the junk sections but mostly fair prices for the rest, all things considered!

    The location is actually "Iga-Ueno." I think you got your ninja clan names mixed up.

    When u go to book off, hard off; do they only accept cash? What about the major stores in Akihbara?
    What is the form of payment they accept.
    First time traveler in Japan and trying to understand how much cash to bring

    • @RetroReWire
      @RetroReWire  9 місяців тому +1

      Major stores, like the OFF stores, accept cash, major credit/debit cards, IC cards, and contactless payments. Some will even accept USD. They’ll have a posting near the sales register, and possibly on their websites, that shows all the forms of payments they accept.
      Mom n’ Pop shops typically only accept cash. The only shop that I can think of that only accepts cash in Akiba is Friends.
      Cheers!

    I just got back from Japan and couldn't find a lot of stuff.... I was lucky and found a super famicom in almost new condition. But the gameboy sp and pokemon greens are just gone or overpriced as hell

    • @RetroReWire
      @RetroReWire  Рік тому +1

      Nintendo handhelds and Pokémon are in high demand. I sometimes see GBA SPs go for ¥6,600, but most are hitting prices well beyond that. Online sites like Mercari may be the way to go. Cheers!

      @@RetroReWire I agree but it was all about the story for me. As I love going to Japan and searching around. Like I have ranma 1/2 on the super famicom which I found to be pretty rare now. However I really want the sailor moon one for super fami but not for $130 lol

      I recall picking up Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle for the SNES at Kay-Bee Toys. I had a great time playing it back then. The music was also catchy. I haven't tried the Sailor Moon games, but I will one day. Cheers! @@pres002
