Hey Adam - Food and drinks seem pretty cheap in that supermarket. It would be at least double that here in $AUD for those buns. Conversion would be about 450Y. Cheap food/drinks and retro heaven.... I gotta get over there! Another great vid! Keep them coming!
Hey! Oh yea, its definitely is cheap. I think it would three time as much in my home country Sweden. Every day in Japan is an adventure! Hope you can make it over here! Thanks for the support. More to come!
Just a bit of clarification, that Crash Bandicoot game for PS2 you saw at Book Off was Crash Twinsanity, not The Wrath of Cortex. They have completely different boxarts in Japanese as well, and the former was marketed as the fifth game in the series, whereas the latter was marketed as the fourth game (at least, before Crash 4: It's About Time was released).
Oh Right. Got it. Thanks for the clarification. I wasnt completely sure about it. But since Crash Twinsanity looks so much different than regular Crash in Wrath of Cortex, I really didnt think it was Twinsanity. Oh well you learn something new every day! Thanks!
You speak the truth, Mario Kart 64 is indeed the best one! Framerate may be all over the place, but item balance is the best and battle mode beats every MK hands down. I have some fond memories of Kirby´s Air Ride, City Trial in multiplayer is the way to go. Certainly a weird mode. Surprisingly good prices at the Book Offs! Super Bonk is a bargain, it´s one I never found during my trip (but I did get PC Engine Bonk and Super Bonk 2). Excellent price for G-Darius too. Very nice video, the environmental shots adds to the experience!
Oh yea! MK64 did so many things right considering the limitations of the console's hardware. And I definitely agree about the battle mode being the best one! Oh that's cool! Ive only played it once actually. And it was very different from what I expected. Gotta try it out again. I agree. Lots of stuff for great prices in these 2 stores! Nice! I've heard that the Bonk games for PC Engine play better too. Oh yea. G-Darius is fantastic! And glad you like the environmental shots too. More of that coming! Thanks Björn!
Book Offs are definitely good, Hard Offs usually just have a bigger selection. And especially for more obscure stuff. I've gotten my PC-FX, Pippin, front loading Neo Geo CD, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Wonderswan Color at Hard Offs. On my second trip to Japan, I didn't go out of my way for Book Offs but would go by some on the way to other places. This third trip, probably the same, though I hope to explore Niigata, Fukuoka, and Nagasaki this time too. Book Off has been good for chipping away at the almost 100 Japanese exclusive GameCube games I need.
Finishing your video 😊 Rainbow bell adventure ❤ ugh I want that game only $10 usd around 15 cad maybe 😊 great pick ups 😊 that Darius does look like a lot of fun :) rock man 8 don’t have and very cheap 😊
Awesome Sara! Hope you liked it! :D Rainbow Bell Adventures is amazing. You gotta get it eventually! G-Darius is fantastic too. Rockman 8 still cheap in Japan but more expensive in PAL/NTSC-U.
Hey there Adam same guy just changed my YT Channel icon. Fantastic pickups for sure. I remember Contra 3 back in the day and still holds up. As I said before huge Contra fan here. I have played that version of Darius on an emulator and it's very good. I need to get back into Mega Man. I have the digital collections for all the NES and SNES games. Mega Man 8 looks incredible. Once gain thanks for a fun retro game hunt.
Hey man! Oh nice! That new icon looks awesome. I like it :D Thanks! Contra III is definitely a timeless game. Got a great feel to it. G-Darius is fantasic. I would put it as one of my favorite shooters. Ah nice! Mega Man games are classics. MM8 is great. Looks beautiful. I would definitely recommend it. Glad to see you here enjoying the video!
Oh yea, man! Its a color I rarely see, to be honest. Yes, I regret not picking up a Wonderswan. I don't have one yet actually. Always on the hunt for deals! Glad to see you in the comment section, dude!
I like how different bookoff hunters are located in different cities Otherwise it would be voring and perhaps awkward I wish there is a hunter in sapporo and fokuoka
And it was in a "junk bin" ??? And that red N64 controller looked nice too. And then we see a lovely Saturn and a boxed PS3 Time Crusis 4 set in the "junk" section. Madness.
Wait what!? A little Junk shop? Whats it called? Not sure if Ive been there now! But 300 is for a CIB F-Zero is awesome! NDS Lite 900. And I thought the price I got was good haha! Thanks for sharing man! Love to hear the deals coming! 👌
@@RetroMoments close to the Nagoya Mandarake there's a place call Daiichi Ameyoko, you take the stairs to the second floor and go straight to the back, pass some audio stores and in a corner is the little junk shop, i bought some n64 games like Super mario 64 for 100yen, some sfc in box for 2000yen but those i couldnt take for space reasons.
I have a Japanese Playstation 3 on the way so I can play my Japanese Playstation 1 games in 1080p. I also have Famicom carts of Rockman 2, 4, and 5. Update: I got my Japanese Playstation 3 and I am happy with it. The Playstation 1 has an excellent Japanese import scene and I'm looking forward to playing those games in glamorous 1080p.
I would have bought everything in sight in order to ship it all out of country and make a few dollars. Trying to bring something new to the table ya heard me.
Super bonks $20 usd with box wow fantastic it’s so expensive on ebay just a cart. I have that same ds lite it’s rose pink the name or dusty pink 😊 wow resident evil 2 $1 usd lol I paid $50 Canadian dollars a week ago for ps1 resident evil 2 lol. Ps2 games I have lots for you lol and check the price of rule of rose 🌹 just wondering what it is there probably a lot! Beautiful fighting game last sword 🗡️
Yea Super Bonk was a deal for sure! I have it in PAL however. Oh Dusty Pink! Got it. I really like that color. Looks cool. Yea Resident Evil 2 has been cheap in Japan for a long time now :D I paid more for my PAL version too but I prefer to have that game in English anyway. Rule of Rose is just as expensive in Japan sadly. I saw it in the Lucky Cat Store when I filmed the first Japan video of 2023. Last Blade is awesome!
@@RetroMoments I think it’s metallic pink ur ds lol I have the same one it’s a nice color and Japan has some great prices on handhelds I heard the yen is low so hopefully that good :)
omg killing me with these videos, no sold chrono triggers, cheap priced games you just slide back on the shelf (assuming you have them already) like the $1 biohazard 2. what was wrong with those DS's being so cheap? anything or just used/beatup/scratches a bit but work otherwise?
Haha yea, lots of good stuff with reasonable prices in these 2 BOOK OFF's. And yes. I have most of the cheaper titles worth having. I was pretty much buying only cheap games back in 2019. Yeah, could be anything from scraches to a particular button not working. The one I bought was in perfect condition though. Just had the R-button defective which I fixed in a few minutes.
Man Nagoya looks fun, would love to explore it sometime! Hopefully I can make the trip over this year.
Nagoya is fun! And we have most BOOK OFFs out of any city. Its worth a trip down here, man!

Metallic rose ds lite is great price. I would take the Wonderswan too. Nice shops! Finding a lot of great deals brother 🤙
Oh yea, man! Its a color I rarely see, to be honest. Yes, I regret not picking up a Wonderswan. I don't have one yet actually.
Always on the hunt for deals! Glad to see you in the comment section, dude!
Both those white PS3s are sweet. Amazing price too, assuming everything in that section works.
I agree! White looks really classy on those PS3 consoles!
They were working and defintely deals to me!
I like how different bookoff hunters are located in different cities
Otherwise it would be voring and perhaps awkward
I wish there is a hunter in sapporo and fokuoka
Oh yea! Its very fun to visit new Book Offs. You never know what its going to look like!
I might get to those places eventually. We’ll see!
Love your videos! Keep up the good work! Would love to visit Japan one day. Could spend alot of money there 😂
Really appreciate it, man! Thanks for watching!
Oh yea. I still remember the feeling of getting here the first time! It was incredible! :D
Man I would have loved to get my hands on that boxed GCN controller.
To be honest, I regret not picking it up.
And it was in a "junk bin" ??? And that red N64 controller looked nice too. And then we see a lovely Saturn and a boxed PS3 Time Crusis 4 set in the "junk" section. Madness.
In Nagoya i bought a Fzero CIB for 300 yen :D close to mandarake in a little "junk" shop, in Kyoto bought a NDS Lite for 900 yen and a SFC in 200 yen
Wait what!? A little Junk shop? Whats it called? Not sure if Ive been there now!

Haha sounds great, Anthony! Thanks! I appreciate it! More to come!

Absolutely! Its coming! I actually just picked up a very special Dreamcast game that Ive been wanting for a long time!
