My pickups are at the end of this video! If you want to check out more RETRO GAME HUNTING in JAPAN, I created this playlist for all of you so you won't miss any videos. PLAYLIST: ruclips.net/p/PLSba06mG5MnOD04ZpsZegKcTjxtw4ENQp
Yea, and they didnt rise in price as much as the rare games, in recent times. Thanks! That was definitely a great deal. I need some more PC Engine games to the collection. Cheers mate!
Finally someone mentioned the intro haha! 😃 Thank you so much, man! More amazing videos to come! Yea, I shouldve picked it up! But Ive seen it at more places for 1000 yen, luckily!
I LOVE that ue showin gameplay and images of the games that are in the shop. Seems such an obvious and ez thing to do but i dont see many utubers doin it ! Have a good one bro!
Thanks man! Glad you and more people are telling me that. I will definitely continue when you tell me how much you like it. You have a good one too! See you another video :D
Great loot haul mate! I love your videos, they're always a highlight when they pop up. Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit before all the game shops stop stocking retro games
Thanks man! I really appreciate hearing that. A lot of really cool videos to look forward to as well :D Oh yes, I hope you get the chance too. This wont last forever and its crazy how much the prices has changed since the pandemic.
Ohhh man, it has been not more than 2 weeks and I miss so much Japan as a very nostalgic 90s person... Japan was a paradise for me. Always cool videos man! 🙋🏻♂️🎮🖥️
Yea man, I bet you do! :D It is definitely a paradise. Thats why it has to be documented ;) Hope you found some great games and that you can come back soon. Thanks for watching. Really appreciate it!
@@RetroMoments yeah man I went back with bunch of stuff that I didn't have and wished so much to have [super Famicom, N64, bunch of boxed games, some Gb games, ds games and even a switch game lol] Definitely next year I'm going there again. Thanks for your videos! [it is normal to have that hard off song playing in your mind randomly through the day?] hahahaha
I so want to go back. I was actually able to go to Japan earlier this year, and got to go to Hard-Off and Book Off. We bought a few super famicom games.
Totally get it :D Oh awesome, Ruby! Glad to hear that you found some Super Famicom games to bring home. Which titles if I may ask? :D Super Famicom is easily my favorite system of all time.
The PS1 part in the Junk section is like the best kept secret for Hardoffs lol, I swear the amount of 110 yen gems I found bc it was the tiniest bit of scuffed is insane
Hi mate,just got back from my first trip to japan and lots of hard offs and book offs found a load of games planning a trip back in 2025 😊 another great video and some great pick ups 😊
Hey man! 😃 Oh awesome! Would love to see or hear about your pickups. Curious to know what you got! Thanks! Really happy to see you here in the comments! 🙂
Hi Adam im number 75 ❤yay so excited to watch your new video 😊 I love starfy I have all the starfy games the gba I think there 3 and then ds one I have too. 16:53 lol 😂 that stick to small for me lol. Gameboy rock man 3 less then 4bucks I would grab it and 50% off area plus ps vita. Great video and great finds Adam what’s that pc engine game looks good! I like them all 😊
Hey Sara :D Awesome! Yea the Starfy games are awesome. Top-notch platformers. Its crazy that they werent released in Europe. Not sure about US/Canada releases... Okay good to know you dont like small arcade sticks lol Yea Rockman 3 was an instant grab. Yea 50% deals was great to see. So many awesome games to pick up for people that dont have them. Basically for free lol Which PC Engine game? :D
Jayde! :D Haha compared to the US or eBay its a huge difference, yeah :D I noticed that in your Game Room Tour video. What do you use? Those proxy servers for Yahoo Acutions? I guess its worth it if you order a lot of stuff at once. Thanks! Some great deals here, for sure :D
Riktigt kiolt och fränt att se :) tales of eternal har vi till PSP i EU, har den i min samling och ja det är klart värt att köpa! PS1 versionen i US heter Tales of Destiny 2 vilket är helt fel då det riktiga TOD2 är Japan endast fortfarande har även det :) men i USA är TOE apdyr!
Härligt att du gillade videon! Ah se där, det hade jag inte koll på. Men många som gillar den serien har jag förstått! Nåt att dyka ner i framtiden kanske!
Nice pickup Metal Slug and R-Type for PS1. I saw Rockman for GB sneak in there. I like to select games you show us footage which gives more insight to the games.
Thanks man! Yep, definitely some quality stuff for great prices 😃 Yea that stuff really takes time to edit! Glad you and other people tell me you like it! I’ll keep the gameplays going 😃
OMG I totally went "VIHHIIII NICE!!" when I saw that boxed copy of Seiken Densetsu 3 ... and then you didn't buy it 😂 Holy M' - and right after that a boxed copy of FF 6 .... which you did get either 🤣
Haha, well I already have it of course :D Both Seiken Densetsu 3 and FF6 are very common games in Japan ;) But sounds like you liked the tour of the store. Theres more to come :D
So many cheap super famicom games that I still need to get complete there, well a lot of cheap games actually. Definitely need to go to Nagoya next trip ^^
Oh really? Which ones? :D Mostly common games in this video, so Im curious to hear. Yea, I dont know why people are sleeping on Nagoya. We got good stuff here.
@@RetroMoments well, for starters, all Donkey Kong games, only have loose carts now. Mario kart, all Super Bomberman games, Rockman 7, Super Mario RPG, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy games, Dragon Quest games, Yoshis island. And pretty much all N64 games :D Will pick up a lot of common games next trip for sure :D Perhaps it would be best to have them shipped home instead :)
Oh really? That was unexpected since you have so much! Well, lucky for you, these games are gonna stay within the same price range for some time forward. So you're not in a hurry to pick them up! Sounds like a plan!
Interesting video, if you like retro, you'll love this. The boxes are very colourful, better than the Western releases. The shop names are funny, with Hard Off, I keep thinking of Hard On; sorry!
Thank you for the kind words, Neil! Oh yea, boxart in Japan is definitely superior, no questions about it. And yea, I feel like someone has to say that everytime I post a new video from this place haha!
Oh yea, in Europe as well. 15 bucks is a good price for it. I already have it and currently looking for the second one! Glad you enjoyed it Scott! Thanks for watching!
Yea and its even more dry now. Fresh videos from Tokyo coming too. But, it is easier to find better deals in smaller cities or outside any city for that matter.
Absolutely. Its different depending on the condition. I could recommend you watching my NEO-GEO Hunting Video here: ruclips.net/video/ebAGQxFew2s/видео.html
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked the video. And yes, I will show figures and more stuff. I already have a video recorded. I think you will like it. Stay tuned :D
The best shop of the trip so far? Looked like they had lots of fun stuff, boxed and loose. Did you know Policenauts has a translation patch? Time to pick up one of those cheap junk games! :)
Björn! Nice to see you here in the comments again! And yea, this HARD OFF was really good. Too bad I had to rush through everything since they were closing. I have to go back here. And about Policenauts, yes I heard about that. But how does that work? You play the CD through an emulator and then use the patch? Or do you know?
Yeah, I’ve been watching your videos without commenting for a while:) I know the basic theory of patching PS games, you burn a new CD with both game and translation patch on it. Then you can play it on real hardware. Not tried it myself yet, but I’m glad it’s possible nowadays!
Ah I see. Thanks! I appreciate that of course :D So thats how it works. Too bad I dont have burner anymore. But I will probably pick up Policenauts next time, nevertheless. Looks totally worth adding to the collection!
PS1 is definitely one of them! Also SNES and NEO-GEO (if possible haha). But there are good games on every system. So Im all over the place. What about you?
Correct! Oh yes, I have a few places already that I need to check out... Some really interesting stores that are not even on RUclips yet, from what I can see...
@@RetroMoments Very safe. It was nice being able to walk city streets late at night with no fear of crime. Nice that you have the opportunity to be there so often! Cheers.
Totally! I've never felt so safe at night anywhere else in the world. Its incredible. Definitely, I feel lucky about that and dont take it for granted at all. Cheers, Michael!
Many great deals here and I should've bought more games, yes. But when you are in Japan for a long time and you go to many many stores. You need to be careful and not buy everything at the first store.
Well, I might already own it. And when stay in Japan for a longer time you see this stuff all the time :D Im curious though. Which games were hard to see me put back? :)
I see. I think I already have Puyo Fever :D But youre right it is a good deal. And PSP stuff I see all the time. So not in hurry :D I will eventually pick up a PSVita!
In Akihabara, Tokyo I would say Surugaya, no doubt. Outside the city its the best to visit different HARD OFF's. Especially fun to see whats in the junk section.
@@Fantictrash No problem, man! I My 2 newest videos are from Tokyo! And the video I will upload on Saturday is actually from that store Surugaya in Tokyo if you want to see it :)
If it has cosmetic flaws, theres a good chance that its working and thats why they put there. Ive mostly bought games from the junk. Every single game had worked!

You’re right about the shops having a solid stock of common games. Good for those just starting out as you mention.
Sweet deal on that R-Type! Cheers!
Yea, and they didnt rise in price as much as the rare games, in recent times.
Thanks! That was definitely a great deal. I need some more PC Engine games to the collection.
Cheers mate!
I love that, always a good time browsing through the hundreds of commons haha
I mean, you can always upgrade the condition of those :D
Top tier intro, love the mix of street life and game pickups. Just good vibes here brother 👍

Nice hunt, man. Good choice of games you picked out too!
Thanks man :D Glad to see you here! I was really satisfied with these deals.
The PS1 part in the Junk section is like the best kept secret for Hardoffs lol, I swear the amount of 110 yen gems I found bc it was the tiniest bit of scuffed is insane
Oh yes! Still a lot cool stuff to be found there compared to Famicom / Super Famicom!
Hi mate,just got back from my first trip to japan and lots of hard offs and book offs found a load of games planning a trip back in 2025 😊 another great video and some great pick ups 😊
Hey man! 😃 Oh awesome! Would love to see or hear about your pickups. Curious to know what you got!
Thanks! Really happy to see you here in the comments! 🙂
I live near Nagoya, so I've been to the first store you went to at this time. There was a lot of cheap stuff in there back in the day.
Oh yea, I can imagine! I was at this first store first time in 2019 and oh boy, the prices were way better even at that time.
Hi Adam im number 75 ❤yay so excited to watch your new video 😊 I love starfy I have all the starfy games the gba I think there 3 and then ds one I have too. 16:53 lol 😂 that stick to small for me lol.

@RetroMoments i was trying to edit my spelling mistakes on my comment but its not allowing me lol 🙃
Thats okay! new comments work too 😃
OMG 😱 Everything is SO cheap there 😭I almost always order my stuff from Japan when it comes to consoles and games. Awesome pickups! :)
Jayde! :D Haha compared to the US or eBay its a huge difference, yeah :D
I noticed that in your Game Room Tour video. What do you use? Those proxy servers for Yahoo Acutions? I guess its worth it if you order a lot of stuff at once.

@@RetroMomentsTotally loved the video 🤩 ... at least you didn't pass a boxed Chrono Trigger by, then I'd have started crying 😂
Thank you. Glad to hear that :D Oh I have to look at every Chrono Trigger there is haha. I did eventually get one too!!
👍👍👍
They play Auld Lang Syne when they’re closing? 😭
Haha pretty sweet, right? :D
So many cheap super famicom games that I still need to get complete there, well a lot of cheap games actually. Definitely need to go to Nagoya next trip ^^

Thank you for the kind words, Neil! Oh yea, boxart in Japan is definitely superior, no questions about it.
And yea, I feel like someone has to say that everytime I post a new video from this place haha!
That panzer dragoon is really expensive here in America. For 15 dollars i would snatch that up.
Good video.
Oh yea, in Europe as well. 15 bucks is a good price for it. I already have it and currently looking for the second one!
Glad you enjoyed it Scott! Thanks for watching!
I was in Tokyo a few years ago, it was dry af and I wasn't gonna waste precious days to travel to another town just for toys.
Yea and its even more dry now. Fresh videos from Tokyo coming too. But, it is easier to find better deals in smaller cities or outside any city for that matter.
Do you come across any AES boxed? What's the current price?@@RetroMoments
Absolutely. Its different depending on the condition. I could recommend you watching my NEO-GEO Hunting Video here: ruclips.net/video/ebAGQxFew2s/видео.html
Awesome deals ... Pick me out some good ones 👍👍
Always so fast here :D I guess you deserve it :D Thanks man!
Awesome video appreciate you looking at all games. Could you show the toys they have one day? Like transformers figures? Thanks❤
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked the video. And yes, I will show figures and more stuff. I already have a video recorded. I think you will like it. Stay tuned :D

Ah I see. Thanks! I appreciate that of course :D
So thats how it works. Too bad I dont have burner anymore.
But I will probably pick up Policenauts next time, nevertheless. Looks totally worth adding to the collection!
"Still possible to find deals in japan?" Dude I'm braziliain, anything will be less expensive than here :v
(Great video tho :3 +1 sub)
Haha amazing! Ive heard about the crazy prices in Brazil actually!
Thank you and welcome to the channel! New video this week! :D
what's your favorite systems to collect for, PS1?
PS1 is definitely one of them! Also SNES and NEO-GEO (if possible haha). But there are good games on every system. So Im all over the place. What about you?
after corona now everything is expensive?
Unfortunately, yes. After the pandemic the prices went up like crazy... Lets see if I can find some stores in the future with better prices.
@@RetroMoments I can see the prices from 110 to 330 yen now. Hope you'll find the store with better price soon
Correct! Oh yes, I have a few places already that I need to check out... Some really interesting stores that are not even on RUclips yet, from what I can see...
More like after foreigner youtubers buying games in bulk driving up the prices
Well, not all of them. But I do know some people that do that. They buy a lot.
Japan is a very peaceful and relaxing country. I enjoyed visiting and hope to return someday. Do you live there?
Oh yes, and very safe. I hope so you get to do that too. Partly, I am in Japan a few months per year. But I am also in Sweden a lot.
@@RetroMoments Very safe. It was nice being able to walk city streets late at night with no fear of crime. Nice that you have the opportunity to be there so often! Cheers.
Totally! I've never felt so safe at night anywhere else in the world. Its incredible. Definitely, I feel lucky about that and dont take it for granted at all. Cheers, Michael!

Axe Bleast? Whats that?
men i thought, many pick ups
Many great deals here and I should've bought more games, yes.
But when you are in Japan for a long time and you go to many many stores. You need to be careful and not buy everything at the first store.
Painful watching you put actually cool stuff back down or walk away from it entirely
Well, I might already own it. And when stay in Japan for a longer time you see this stuff all the time :D
Im curious though. Which games were hard to see me put back? :)
@@RetroMoments ive seen you put back a cib puyo fever and it killed me aa and pass all kinds of psp stuff
I see. I think I already have Puyo Fever :D But youre right it is a good deal.
And PSP stuff I see all the time. So not in hurry :D I will eventually pick up a PSVita!
No because of the virgins
Haha was that an answer to the title of the video? :D Let them do what they want!
Yo @retromoments whats the best retro store to go to in japan Tokyo
In Akihabara, Tokyo I would say Surugaya, no doubt. Outside the city its the best to visit different HARD OFF's. Especially fun to see whats in the junk section.
@@RetroMoments ok thanks man
@@Fantictrash No problem, man! I My 2 newest videos are from Tokyo! And the video I will upload on Saturday is actually from that store Surugaya in Tokyo if you want to see it :)
@@RetroMoments do consoles in the junk section work?
If it has cosmetic flaws, theres a good chance that its working and thats why they put there.
Ive mostly bought games from the junk. Every single game had worked!
PlayStation
PS1!!
