Thanks! Im not sure actually. Ive used it for years and there hasnt been any claim on it actually. I see. Thank you for telling me that. I was really tempted to buy the GT or the Panasonic Q, but I started googling and it seemed a bit complicated. Too bad. Thank you for watching! More to come!

Was it in good condition? Ah thats too bad! Ive noticed that things are gone much quicker nowadays. Competition is tough nowadays.
Thanks man! This Hard Off always has some cool stuff on shelves, every time I go there. You can see at my comment here what I picked up. I wanted Samurai Spirits 4 as well, but condition was bad, sadly.
Hahaha right! I mean working there, thats a different story. But personally, I connect the jingle to having a good time. So spending 2 hours in Hard Off aint a problem. Im still whistling it while walking out of the store!
Me at 40 seconds in: Please don't mute the audio, please don't mute the audio, please don't mute the audio! The world deserves to hear the full HARD-OFF experience! Me at 41 seconds: FUCK YES!
The price on the PC Engine GT isn't all that bad, same with SamSho 4. I'd def spring for SamSho 4! In my neck of the woods, the game can range between ¥44,000-¥50,000. And that Mario Kart game and case bundle was a great buy! Cheers!
Right, I thought so too! The PC Engine GT had bad capacitors however and is a struggle to fix according to people on reddit. But a friend of mine told me a day ago, that he could fix it. So maybe Ill get it after all. Sam Sho 4 had a broken box, sadly. Complete broken. Glad I found the Mario Kart case just like you :D Cheers.
I paid around 70 usd for a cib neo geo pocket at super potato in 2018. Prices have been rising significantly... 100 usd for a loose ngpc at hard off makes me glad I bought it back then.
Man I still can't believe my luck. I was looking through the case in the Shinjuku Surugaya as they came up to put out a *Boxed Q, it was missing some pieces and the remote, and the box is very beatup but it was only *15,000y
Dang! Thats a crazy good price! You really shouldve picked it up. Suruagaya definitely has some super deals on retro games sometimes. The Surugaya store in Nagoya is selling lots of great games really fast compared to other stores…
Retro game shops in remote places in Japan have the biggest and best selection. Years back, I found a huge store in a small town near Osaka, never seen the famicom disk machine before and this shop had lots! Stupid me forgot to pick one up. I'll be back in Japan next year and plan to visit for 2 weeks in august.
@@RetroMoments I was big into Wii U and still have most of my collection, but I plan on waiting a bit longer and see where the market goes before I start to sell any games. Very curious thought!
Oh thats cool, man! I think Wii U definitely deserved better. Hopefully people will realize that in a few years. In the same way that happened to the Gamecube. Definitely hold on to them a bit longer, Mike :D
Hi Adam i love the PS VITA 😊 there is the Fat model first model is called PS VITA 1000 its a OLED screen and the 2nd model if ps vita that came out is the Slim PS VITA 2000 is has LCD screen. I love both. I currently play on the PS VITA 2000 i was going to play it in bed now till i noticed you have a new video. I think the price at Lucky Cat store was much better. When you go to luck cat or a mom and pop store check price of PS VITA 1000 and PS VITA 2000 i think picking up either one is great. I gave my brother my 2nd vita the PS VITA 1000 he loved it. If i went to Japan i think i would buy 3 more lol. My nephews also love it i reccomend you grab whatever model is cheaper. I would love to grab another one and see price of the PSP handhelds too i belive i think the psp has 3 models , YES they have 3 mods PSP HAS 1000, 2000 AND 3000 and the crappy PSP GO i say crappy because i just found out that the psp go is shitty because there is no UMD slot so thwt means its a crappy handheld because you must download games and im not sure how or why would you physical games are the best so if you ever get a PSP get model 1000 or 2000 or 3000. I reccomend you grab PSP and PS VITA when u go back home to sweden in 1year lol wait for me in Japan it would be so much fun if i was there EXTRA FUN hehe 😊
Thanks Sara! I learned a lot about the PSVita on your video. I asked in this video because it was recorded before you published your Ps Vita video :) Ill see what I can get. Ill probably get a Ps Vita in Sweden. I think I can find one cheaper there :D
Haha aldrig fastnat för fiskespel direkt. Är denna bra? :D Dock var det nåt fiskespel på Dreamcast med tillhörande spö som var riktigt kul back in the days.
@@RetroMoments jag vet inte om jag har provat det faktiskt. Men har det komplett i min fiskespelssamling. 😁🎣 Sega bass fishing är riktigt trevligt, ett av de bättre fiskespelen helt klart.
Sega Saturn PS2 pads have been fetching some pretty high prices for years, so nothing new in that department. Every Hard Off seems to have that one song playing, and the woman talking.... on an endless loop, would drive me insane to work there. Garou Mark of the Wolves I have on PS2, a fantastic emulated version of the game, the DC version of course is a port. The PS2 version was part of the SNK Online Collection for the PS2. 7:27, another Puyo Puyo game (Nazo Puyo Puyo Rulue's Roux), I'm always amazed you just flip through those. They are great puzzlers, but you must not be into them, because you ALWAYS skip over them. 🤪🤣
Was so cool to see one like that. Never seen them before. Has to be pretty uncommon them. Haha oh yea, me too. Its not possible. At least some HARD OFF's has one more song in circulation, a Hard off rap song! Awesome! Was close to pick this up. I would love to get the DC port for the soundtrack and different artwork. I have it on AES, if you missed the previous video. Thanks for telling me haha! Not too into puzzle games but I do appreciate some of the ones from SNK. I'll check out this one :)
@@RetroMoments So long as it's not the US port of MotW, for some reason people have complained that it makes their Dreamcast's motors grind harder, and uses the wrong soundclips of Terry Bogard (US DC MotW uses Real Bout FF 2 Terry Bogard voice samples, instead of MotW's). And yeah, that Saturn PS2 pad is a bit hard to find, your video is probably one the one time I've seen one in a Japanese game shop, or a Hard Off. I've seen them in no other video from these shops over there.
Oh really!? I didnt know that. Thank you for the information. Good thing that I mostly keep myself to Japanese releases. Wow thats cool. I was definitely tempted to pick it up... We'll see if its there the next time I go back.
That red PS Vita was a PS Vita slim PS Vita 2000 is the model. I'm looking to buy one of those shortly, I have the original but those are great systems they're making a comeback
@@RetroMoments I didn’t have much time to shop as I’m doing a road trip but I did pick up the Bandai corrupted master sword from TOTK . In Tokyo now so I’ll be shopping a lot here .
Show me dreamcast console prices please Adam i need model VAO I believe thats the model made before 2000 that plays those region free games a few games new ones say that you must have a dreamcast before year 2000 to play them. Also i need to find a Action Replay for my Japanese sega saturn i just found out if i use a action replay cartridge on my japan saturn i can play north American saturn games ❤ im not sure about pal but from a friend he says he can play pal on his north American saturn i cant confirm that. Its very cool eh that the saturn turns from region locked to somewhat region free when you put the action replay cartridge. Did you know this? I saw on ebay action replay cartridge from china $60 Canadian dollars that is $44.73 USD . Canadian dollar prices suck its always so much higher then usd. So when you talk in usd i have to think cad lol.
Dreamcast consoles coming! Yes, VAO is an earlier model. I have that as well. Yea the Action Replay will work with PAL games too on a Japanese Saturn. So far I did not see the Action Replay for Saturn.
@RetroMoments oh i didnt know the action replay works for the pal games too so this action replay basically lets us play pal and north American games on the sega saturn thats Japanese 😀 thats amazing. Do you have both saturn models? There 2 a grey one with a v name is it victor and the cream colored Japanese saturn that i have.
That is correct, Sara :D I only have a Japanese white model. But I will keep myself to japanese games mostly anyway. The Victor Saturn is really cool. Maybe Ill get it one day :D
a Litle guide to buy psvita: 1- Only buy oled model if you can power up and test if the screen is yellow, maybe in the future would be a ips screen replacement to the first vita because all oled screen gonna be yellow. 1.1- Buy the psp 2000 models to avoids problem with yellowing screen in the future. 1.2- The 2000 model is more easy to change beacuse the oled model use a closed proprietary connector, the 2000 have a litle better battery that is more easy to buy to change. 2-All model can be soft mod, not only for putting roms or homebrew but for using the micro sd adapters and no paying the expensive sony card. 3-gift me one to me here in Argentina are fucking expensive. 4-Read point 3. Pd: Point 3 is the more important.
Hey Me Zaku! Thank you for the guide 😃 Hahaha I love point 3 and 4. How much is one in Argentina? I heard retro games in general is really expensive in South America.
You're not going to find any of this stuff in China my dude. Might not be the niche for you to try and get into since you don't seem to know whats going on. Good luck.
*What item from this store would YOU have picked up?* - I picked up:
Rockman & Forte (SFC)
Kid Dracula (GB)
Super Mario Kart w/ cartridge holder (SFC)
Kid dracula is expensive here in canada i have a repro lol 😂
@@segagirladventurespico Really? Well it was a game that wasn't released outside Japan I believe.
For any Castlevania fans, its totally worth getting!
@@RetroMoments yes Kid Dracula. Kid Dracula comes now on the ps4 collection of castlevania :)
Kid Dracula of course 😊
@@Tony-l9j Awesome to hear that!
Those Panasonic Qube consoles still look awesome. Always good to see AES carts out in the wild too.
Nice share 👊
Right! I love the look of them as well. So futuristic.
Oh yes, gotta love the AES. I was close to picking up SS4 here, but the case was all broke, unfortunately.
Thanks for watching!
Just a note on the Hard Off jingle - it can cause your video to get claimed so as much as I love hearing it, I'd suggest muting it to avoid catching a strike.
Junk GTs and Game Gears are a crapshoot, if the caps leaked you're in for a lengthy (and expensive if you're paying someone) repair. Q's are equally challenging to fix because they are hard to take apart and the drive trays and rails love to disintegrate and shatter. I generally don't recommend that people buy any of the aforementioned systems unless they're ready and prepared to pay someone to fix them. They're not suitable projects for inexperienced hobbyists to take on.
Thsnks for sharing your hunt with us!
Thanks! Im not sure actually. Ive used it for years and there hasnt been any claim on it actually.
I see. Thank you for telling me that. I was really tempted to buy the GT or the Panasonic Q, but I started googling and it seemed a bit complicated. Too bad.
Thank you for watching! More to come!
Apparently I was there just a couple of days after you filmed this. I bought the MegaMan Amiibo from the first showcase you saw.
There was no PanaQ anymore.
But... There was a PSX CIB at the Junk section for 3,300 Yen. I didn't buy it and I regret it, went back a week later and it was gone.
Oh interesting! Nice!
Yea I had a feeling someone would buy the Q. Pretty good price on it and Im sure the ”reading CDs problem” is fixable.
Oh nice! I didnt see any CIB PS1! Was it in good condition?
Ah thats too bad! Ive noticed that things are gone much quicker nowadays. Competition is tough nowadays.
Great video and some very cool stuff. Can't wait to see what you purchased from that shop. 👍
Thanks man! This Hard Off always has some cool stuff on shelves, every time I go there.
You can see at my comment here what I picked up.
I wanted Samurai Spirits 4 as well, but condition was bad, sadly.
@RetroMoments Got ya and that's a shame it wasn't in better condition. That Kid Dracula was a total score.
Yea, totally a bummer. Thanks! I thought so too :D
This looks like a really promising hunt. Im looking forward to relaxing this week end to watch it.
Thanks! Definitely found some cool stuff here. Looking forward checking your latest video out today :D
Oh wow that's a surprisingly good amount of games in the junk section, especially PS2
Yea this Hard Off is worth going back to all the time. Always a lot of games in the junk here!
Thanks for Nagoya Hard Off tour!
Glad you enjoyed it, Silverian! More videos to come. Thanks for stopping by in the comments.
I don’t understand how anybody works at hard off. About the third time the jingle repeats I’d quit and walk out.
It weeds out the weak. I LIVE for the Hard Off Jingle.
Hahaha right! I mean working there, thats a different story.
But personally, I connect the jingle to having a good time. So spending 2 hours in Hard Off aint a problem. Im still whistling it while walking out of the store!
I love the hard off jingle, it's kind of signature... ^_^
Lol i love jingle music but maybe the are deaf lol
And they all... Play... The same..... Jingle lol

Thanks man! Oh yes, totally get it. Im always so excited before visiting Hard Off haha!
Nice. Might have to check this place out
You definitely should! This Hard Off always has some interesting items!
Awesome finds 👍👍
Thanks man! It wasnt crazy stocked with games, but at least found some uncommon stuff.
Curious how many Panasonic Qs have you seen in the wild there? I only saw 2 in like three years.
I think Ive seen about 3 so far. This one being the cheapest. But it seems to have some problems with the cd tray.
Man I still can't believe my luck. I was looking through the case in the Shinjuku Surugaya as they came up to put out a *Boxed Q, it was missing some pieces and the remote, and the box is very beatup but it was only *15,000y
