I regret that I didn't give the Saturn any attention back when it was current gen. I got a Japanese Saturn a few years ago and I love it. It's a powerhouse for 2D graphics. My elementary knowledge of japanese has me wanting to delv into some jrpgs for it. I want to pick up Lunar or Phantasy Star Collection
Same for me! Thankfully I got the Saturn back in 2012 or so, before prices really started to skyrocket. I don’t have too many rare games, but thankfully the Japanese library is still pretty affordable. I actually just picked up lunar for about $4 at a secondhand shop and I’m going to give it a shot! Would love to get my hands on phantasy star collection as well at some point, as I am a huge fan of that series.
I’ve been blessed see and have every NTSC-U NTSC-J and PAL console from 1980-Now as well as thousands of games what a life of gaming throughout the decades I’m from NY but when in Japan best spots for games are Hard Off Hobby Off Book Off Traders Thrift Stores Suragaya and Super Potato they also have Mode Off for clothes Off House for appliances and Liquor Off for liquor Japan is the best for wrestling video games manga food culture and history
Just found your channel today and I love your content! I like that you included a small clip of gameplay which helps a lot when it comes to game hunting. Some game hunting RUclips pages I’ve seen don’t include that and it’s appreciated!
If you get the chance, try shopping for Saturn games outside of the Tokyo area, basically the further you get from Tokyo the better the prices. I would recommend Sapporo generally for second hand shopping at great prices!
Thanks for this extensive video! Next time, could you show some Saturns hardwares like lightguns, consoles and stuff like that? (if its possible, of course) Greetings from Brazil!
I would love to see more videos like this. I recently started collecting for the Japanese Saturn and there's so few RUclipsrs doing videos about that. Subscribed.
The format of this video was fantastic. Great editing having game play of each game that you pulled up so we had an idea what they looked like what the Saturn games were like ect. This was a cool video. I know very little about the Saturn so it was cool to see some stuff.
Tengoku game paradise is totally awesome. Beware with outrun on saturn 2s, it doesn't work. You need outrun p1k version which is really rare and impossible to see the version without a magnifying glass on the disk. You have a lovely voice. I went to suragaya last year and bought nothing. Will be hitting Tokyo early July for some serious game hunting. I would advise to keep things simpler to look at western friendly games only. All my saturn games are japanese and even I wouldn't buy heavy text games. Thanks for you channel it's very good. Especially clear pricing, pausing all that it's all good.
@@pixxellie it was made by ex Konami exployees who wanted more freedom to make product they wanted to make. Tengoku game paradise has zero slow down, uses all sorts of graphical tricks, game supports tate mode with fewer levels I think. Intro is very catchy. There is a big box version with a VHS tape. If you like it try Parodious. There is a game paradise 2 on ps1 but strays from the formula with average reviews. The best ps1 alternative is harmful park which is a 1000 dollar game.
it's crazy seeing good shmups just sitting on a shelf for good prices. Nice pickups and good vid, really enjoyed how you formatted things and so nice to not have to constantly pause and lookup gameplay videos + prices myself like I would usually do on a video like this.
I loved the Sega Saturn so much! This is a great video, thank you. One of my hopes if I can go to Japan is to get a Japanese Sega Saturn with a few retro Saturn games.
7:00 Sunsoft's Hebereke characters are so cute and charming. Definitely pick that one up if you can. Ufouria (Hebereke) for NES/Famicom recently got a sequel on the switch.
18:13 *Saint Elmo. St Elmo is the patron saint of sailors and an electrical phenomena related to ships (which I believe the title is alluding to) is known as 'St Elmo's fire.'
@@pixxellie It's a platformer/metroidvania game and is very good (like a lot of the later NES Sunsoft games). It got a PAL released on the NES and it was my favourite game back in the day although they changed two of the characters to be a bit less kawaii.
As someone who's terrible at Puyo Puyo, but loves the characters, finding the Madou Monogatari games was a godsend. Plus, it's refreshing to play a more cutesy RPG now and then. And because my inner wrestling nerd demands that I share all my useless knowledge, the Saturn game wasn't the only time All Japan and Virtua Fighter had a crossover. AJPW actually rebranded a Canadian wrestler named Jim Steele as the "real life" Wolf Hawkfield. In fact, I believe either in this one or Giant Gram, the Dreamcast sequel to AJPW feat. Virtua, you can have the "real" Wolf and the Virtua Fighter Wolf fight each other!
The Grandia Digital Museum game looked really cool, I'm currently playing the Grandia Collection for the Switch si it catched my eye. The Shining games and Lunar are also amazing. Great video!!
Great video as always! Wish I had hit up Shinjuku surugaya when I was there last week.😢 Love this shopping style format video so all the time spent editing was well worth it. Definitely pick up super puzzle fighter as the game is nothing like Columns and a much deeper game mechanic system. I added a couple fighters to my own wishlist so thanks for adding to the money burning pit as always Pixxellie 😂 the Saturn import library always seems so vast and never-ending with cool looking games ❤
I had Alien Trilogy on the PS1. Well worth it, solid little FPS that pulls most of the settings from the three movies. Levels are 3d enemies are 2d sprites.

Great video btw. Really cool to see a japanese game shop like this!
Thank you!!! 😊
SATURN!! SNES Is where it’s at! Maybe a trip to Super Potato in Akihabra? Please please please. Love the channel great vid!
Saturn is my fav retro system these days! Thanks for watching!
Wow no kidding. I have almost no experience with Saturn I went the Ps2/n64 route in 93. What is your fav Saturn game. I will give it a shot,
@@megloton probably sexy parodius and virtua fighter 2. Also x men vs street fighter and puyo puyo sun.
Don't buy Sega Touring Car... it is trash unfortunately.. choppy framerate and ugly.
I checked out some videos and I thought it looked pretty buttery smooth to be honest!!
Just found your channel today and I love your content! I like that you included a small clip of gameplay which helps a lot when it comes to game hunting. Some game hunting RUclips pages I’ve seen don’t include that and it’s appreciated!
Thank you!!! That’s why I included the clips!!! ☺️

The algorithm has BLESSED me today with this video and channel, awesome stuff, can’t wait to see more!
thank you!
Thanks for this extensive video!
Next time, could you show some Saturns hardwares like lightguns, consoles and stuff like that? (if its possible, of course)
Greetings from Brazil!
I actually showed Saturn hardware and lightguns in my other video of this store!

Love your voice and narration ❤
Thank you!!! 😊
I would love to see more videos like this. I recently started collecting for the Japanese Saturn and there's so few RUclipsrs doing videos about that. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!! Saturn is one of, if not my fav retro console so I will definitely be doing more Saturn videos!
Great video, i always like the style of the SEGA saturn games.
thank you! Sega saturn is the best! ☺
Wish that Panzer Dragoon had the Moebuis cover art. Always looking for one of those.
Yeah that moebius art is sick!

I’m so excited to try out game paradise!!! I buy text heavy games because I can read Japanese!

Damn, Pocket Fighter brand new for only $30! You should have totally got that 😭 That Cyberbots for $25 is a great deal too.
I know there were so many good deals!!! I regret not buying more lol

You passed a great game…Lunar: Silver Star Story…
it's true! thats a great game! I probably passed over it because I just bought a copy a few days earlier!
This is my favorite channel 😊
Thanks!!! 😊
I really appreciate you put a short game play clip for us to see!
Thank you! It took forever to put those clips in so I’m glad you found it helpful!! 😝
great video! the saturn is my favorite sega console :)
thank you! Saturn rocks! it's a good favorite!
I had no idea Puyo Puyo was based off of an rpg!!!!
Yep!

@@goatbone woah that sounds awesome! I love sunsoft!
@@pixxellie Oh my god they are so nostalgic for me and absolutely shaped my taste in games.
I got as far as Sega CD back in the day. After that, it was PS1, then it was back to Nintendo 64, then NWii😊

Yes! I love this! I’ve just started collecting Saturn Japanese games! It’s fun to see how many quality games are pretty affordable!
The Saturn import library is one of my #1 budget friendly recommendations in retro gaming. Thanks for watching!
The Grandia Digital Museum game looked really cool, I'm currently playing the Grandia Collection for the Switch si it catched my eye. The Shining games and Lunar are also amazing. Great video!!
Thank you!!!

Thanks for watching bovine!! Glad you were able to add to the wishlist lol. I’m back to hunting for puzzle fighter now
I had Alien Trilogy on the PS1. Well worth it, solid little FPS that pulls most of the settings from the three movies. Levels are 3d enemies are 2d sprites.
I've heard great things about it. Will definitely try it one day.
22:35 The name that they call him is Fred.
yaaaAaasss
Thanks for watching!!
Good video!!!!
