    I've been to Akihabara in 2018. I'm going for a full loose cartridge classic Gameboy collection and at Retro Game Camp a bought a lot :) I really liked that they spoke English a bit and that they marked all the cartrdiges that contain a battery with a vignette when battery was replaced. I'm planning to go back next spring :)

That downstairs arcade was dope...but that "educational" video was WILD! So cool you got to meet one of your subscribers in a different country. The Sailor Moon figures look great. Looks like you had a fun day that day!

I only managed to find Super Potato which was in a little hole where you had to use the elevator :( I should have done my homework before going there, and with my 2 young kids who were tired from all the walking, it wasn't a great day.

    For the see anything you like, I like the multi colored snes controller. I would have to do some research on Japanese games/systems or you can keep reminding the audience what systems are region free. You said the PS3 is region free which is good in case people come across Japanese games. It also really helps if its a game that you don't really need to read Japanese to play the game. I don't think the PS2 is region free. I don't know what you mean by PS2 games are easy to translate. Even if it is, do you mean there are options in the game menus to change language?

    was there 3 weeks ago - the prices have exploded once again and buying retro games there is just bs at the moment....
    ofc if you look for low level PS2 etc. games it is still reasonable.
    but heavy hitters for NG or PC Engine are crazy right now. even shovelware titles that cost like 2000 yen in the past are now 10k+ showcase titles...

      The local BookOff was selling SNES Super Mario World for about $3 and CIB Mario Kart for $10. Retro games spans a vast universe. I got Ninja Gaiden CIB New for OG Xbox like 2 months ago for ¥110. Just depends on what you’re looking for.

      @@midwestdawg83 well I guess congratz to that. but as you said - it depends what you're looking for ofc.
      rather cheapish retro games that cost max around 1000 yen are still rather cheap and available.
      however if you're looking for systems like the Neo Geo, PC Engine or rare Famicom games. or even niche systems like Japanese retro computers...
      those systems had ridiculous price jumps in the past years.
      same with the Mega Drive.
      a lot of PC Engine titles that cost between 2000-7000 Yen like 4-6 yeats ago cost now anywhere between 10-30.000 Yen. Which is ridiculous tbh.
      ofc it also depends on the titles.
