HARD OFF Retro Game Hunting in Tokyo | A Mountain of Games
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 сен 2021
- Still way out in west Tokyo, in the neighborhood of Hamura, going to an old favorite of mine. This place was fully stocked and I had plenty of retro Nintendo, Sega, PC Engine and a whole lot more to dig through.

Thanks for watching, everyone! I had a great time getting rained on and looking for games. One thing, my original music selection for the walking section had to be replaced due to a copyright claim that I didn't feel like fighting, so we get something much more generic, lol. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the video, and I'll see you on the next one.
have you done any Manga Souko near you? they have a pretty good selection of retro games.
I love how you can pick up consoles and games for around a hundred bucks. I still have a weird love for the Saturn. One day I'm going to start a new collection and just chill on the ancient vibes.
I love that I get to go game hunting in Japan. Never stop making these. I always feel a sort of way as soon as the intro hits. Excellent.
If anybody is curious the song at the very beginning is "Nightland" by Droid Bishop, a really good synthwave track
Thank you very much for sharing your fantastic Journeys in Akihabara, this is definitely a Dream of mine to experience one day!
Thanks for your videos! They’re relaxing to watch after a long day or when I need some escape. They give me a better idea of Japanese every day life and hobbies. Take care!
Glad you're enjoying the vids, thanks for watching!
@8:14 when I made a RetroPi and got it up and running, my wife asked me to download this one... it is such a nostalgic classic for her.
Great footage, awesome to see the streets and the sounds.
Afterburner showed up in the US as a Tengen cart for the NES, but still completely unlicensed. Plays really well, regardless, way faster paced than the Top Gun titles.
Shinobi was also on the NES from Tengen. I liked it as well as the Afterburner title.
Fatal Fury Special was the highlight for me in the video Jim. 8^)
Anthony..
Goodness me - just watching this is overwhelming.
So many games, so much amazing Box art.
Thank you for a great Video.
✌🐢
You could "hear" the heat and humidity when you stepped outside with the Cicada's. Nice pick-up you had there on the PCE shuttle, as it looked in excellent condition. You should get yourself an electic cargo bike with rain cover. That way you can cover a lot of ground, still get your exercise and pick up bucket loads of games, consoles and other stuff ;-)
That's a good idea, I might go with that. Oh, and yeah, you can literally hear the humidity lol, it's more like swimming than walking.
I really enjoy chilling with a cup of tea watching these vids
Man the selection is insane! I would have bought so many things.
I beat that Tenchi Muyo RPG as a kid not knowing how to read a single thing in that game. Fun game, great animation, and one of the games that made me begin loving Strategy RPGS.
Whenever I make it to Japan, I have to pick that up for official legal ownership.
Always enjoy your hunts!
Much appreciated.
Dude this is seriously one of the coolest channels. I’d love to just visit Japan, walk around, check out random stuff, but mainly visit arcades and game stores
The weather in this video should seem awfully familiar to weather back home. Afterburner did come out on the NES in the US, on one of those Tengen carts.
Yep, a lot in common with good old Louisiana.
Hard off is awesome by the looks of these videos. Definitely going here once I go to Japan.❤❤🎉 gonna have a big shopping spree!
*I saw sonic CD and I never clicked on a video so fast! XD*
love your game hunting videos!
I'll take a limited edition smoked to hell and back super famicom please :D Haha great video as always! Really appreciate you showing gameplay for some games on the side
Love the umbrella :D
I had to haul ass from Denny's to Family Mart to get it. I was soaked, lol.
Dang. I would have grabbed all of those MD games.
That's what I need on these trips, a second pair of hands to help me carry all this stuff. As it is, once the backpack is full and I've got bags in both hands, I'm done.
Afterburner did come out here in the USA on the NES; it was done by Tengen. Have you ever played the Super Famicom port of Samurai Showdown? I’ve read complaints that the characters/sprites are really tiny, but I’ve never played it.
Yes, I've played it. Yeah, the sprites are small, obviously the SNES can't hold a candle to the Neo-Geo, but it still plays well enough.
@@MadPanicGaming OK, thanks! I'll have to check it out.
You truly can not get enough Space channel 5, preach,
Great video Jim, as always.
THANK YOU!
I love that hobby off in Hamara! We'll have to hit up that hard-off too!
Great video. Thank so much 😉
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
afterburner did come out in north america under the tengen comany which had a wierd design ,also shinobi too which i own i beieve they are rare and are upthere in price
I cannot believe that you skipped the blue PS2, I just want to explode now.
Speaking of the thumbnail, i reviewed SONIC CD on my channel...fantastic game ^^
Another great game hunting vid Jim! I'm curios, do they have flea markets in Japan? I think a retro game hunting video from a Japanese flea market would be awesome! Keep up the great content =)
I've been to an outdoor flea market here before, but I don't know how common they are. I think places like Nakano Broadway serve as a sort of flea market, some of the shops allow people to sell basically whatever they want if they pay for the space.
Another great video! How would you say the heat and humidity in Japan are compared to your hometown in Louisiana?
It's very comparable here in Tokyo, very hot and humid in the summer. Although, I made a trip up to Hokkaido one summer and the climate was much more mild, not very hot or humid at all really.

일본에 가서 덕질을 할 때 곡 들리는 매장인 HARD OFF네요. 잘만하면 좋은 가격에 좋은 물건을 건질수가 있죠~! 코로나가 끝나야지 다시 일본에 가서 덕질을 할 수 있겠네요.
Thanks for Retro Game Hunting tour! I was wondering what label that seemed to read in japanese like kizutari meant? (Not sure if ta was correct..)
Should have got Souki on ps1..its got an exclusive ship
Was not aware of that. I'll have to pick it up next time I see it then. Thanks!
Sonic CD!
Hot and Humid? Welcome to Virginia.
Just a normal day here.
What Makes Puyo Puyo sun your favorite? And the PS3 version of Sonic CD let’s you switch between the Us and Japanese soundtrack and both have good songs. The American intro song for the movie clip is great but it’s worth checking out the Japanese soundtrack.
How far is this from downtown Tokyo? And do you have the adress
Let me give you the obligatory Sonic CD JP/EU vs. US soundtrack comment:
Both of them are amazing!
Yokai Dochuki - I've played PCE and FC versions. FC version is the better game actually. PCE obviously has better graphics and sound but it also cut out some parts from the arcade. Famicom has those.
Un Dreamcast por favor. 🤤
OK, I can hook that up.
The diference between Japanese game titles and overseas gams tatles is interesting, isn't it.
Song at 4:40?
Buy whole shop
Would be cool if you showed more obscure stuff instead of stuff you think we'll recognize. Skipped over Another Mind on PS1 which is about a nurse who gets into a car accident which causes another consciousness to form in her mind--and that's the player's character. You are another mind. Do u get into that kinda weird shit? If you do, would love it if you covered it more so I could discover new weird shit to buy. Love weird shit.
I tend to stick with games that would be easy enough to play without understanding Japanese, that's mostly what people request from me and mostly what I play too aside from the occasional RPG. I could make a video in the future covering some more obscure games though.
@@MadPanicGaming yeah i get im not your target demographic haha. but even for those who don't understand japanese at all, might be fun to find out about some games. some other odd PS1 stuff got recently: 町運命の交差点、夕闇通り、鈴木爆発. definitely recommend checking out these oldschool adventure games. unique fun experiences. Another Mind was made by Square if im not mistaken.
I've always wondered if these stores carried an English section. For instance, a section full of North American releases, that sort of thing.
Not really. Since Nintendo, Sega, and Sony release their games in Japan first, there is no market for NA import games. Once in awhile, you do see NA games mixed in with games for the same console, like SNES in the SFC section.
I occasionally come across English games, but they are few and far between.
The good thing about the pandemic is American's aren't sweeping up the good stuff anymore at these stores.
Please 60FPS
…As opposed to HARD ON retro game hunting?
I think all these retro game isn't enjoyable and fun for adult around 30s and above, for younger kids will enjoyed playing any of these retro games to collect, now these days adult play new gen console with all retro game in 1 rather than buying old game we don't play in old console
Does the wrapped console playable? Or is it junk? Really dig the wii u.
Super nice content btw
