@@RetroBreak I cant haha xD Well, unfortunately Shinkansen is really expensive, so it would cost me too much going back and forth all the time. But I haven't been to all the Hard Off's and Book Off's in Nagoya yet, so there's still more too see here. I always end up buying my games there anyway. And I noticed that there is more of those stores in Nagoya than Tokyo!
Well I guess you’re lucky having all those Hard Off shops! I visited a few last time I went to japan, it’s so cool rooting through the “Junk” bins and finding super cheap games and consoles!
Wow, you’re awesome for making this guide. I’m going to Japan in 20 months to see NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 16 and visit these shops along the way especially the arcades. What would be your top 3 recommendation for SEGA Dreamcast Selection? 15:17 is 1994 Taito’s “RayForce”
Fantastic video man, I frequent akiba and know most of these but a few I have missed. Having this video as a reference is super helpful, especially when hunting the best deals. As you know you can find some pretty big price differences across the city which makes game hunting that much more exciting.
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm never sure if I'm ever going to go to Japan, but I at least have videos like this to help me get the experience. Excellent work on this one! I can tell it took a lot of effort!
I was in Akihabara recently and think Retro Game Camp was the best shop for Nintendo games, prices on both sides of 1000 yen even for mario/donkey kong gb/gbc games
Great video. I’ve watched the first third as I keep having to pause it!!! Brings back good memories. I think I only went to about five retro stores last time I was there, but plenty to check out next time. Totally know what you mean about buying something from Super Potato. It has to be done! I bought a Virtual Boy from there, I possibly could have saved a little bit of money getting it elsewhere but, then, it’s not as cool is it? That shooter in that screen under Dragon Spirit was Layer Section by the way. One of my faves!
This was a really cool and informative video. Thank you so much for putting it together and sharing it with us. My family is visiting Tokyo in June. I'm so excited and hitting up a lot of game stores is on my to do list. My wife will probably not like how much money I'm going to spend.😆
I really enjoyed the “tour loop” approach of showing the order in which to travel. Extremely helpful! That PC Engine game with the handgun on the cover art is Die Hard, I believe. English-friendly, cheap Famicom games I would recommend that weren’t released on the NES: Hi no Tori Hououhen Gaou no Bouken, Kaiketsu Yancha Maru 2, Paaman Enban wo Torikaese, and (of course) WaiWai World 1 & 2.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! I made sure it was easy to follow so you can use the video as a reference if anyone ever visits! :) thanks for the recommendations too! I have the WaiWai world games, they’re great! Not heard of the others though
Mmmmkay! So firstly yes watched the entire video. Secondly.....what I flipping LEGEND. This makes going to Akihabara alot more manageable and less daunting. I missed so many of these shops the last time I went to Japan, this video is so legit. Allows you to plan the shops you want to go to, where to find them, and the kind of games you looking for in each. I know its 3 years old and some shops may be closed now but this helped me alot! Heading there in December! Thank you! Legend!
Excellent video! I know this is a few years old but I'm really glad to find it. I live in Tokyo and love games but I'm honestly always overwhelmed when I visit Akihabara and never know where to look. Seeing such a full and comprehensive guide like this was super useful (even if some shops might have changed or disappeared since covid). Local game shops in suburban areas have better prices, but I totally agree that I don't mind paying a bit extra to support awesome game shops in Akiba. Hope you can visit Japan again sometime soon!
Glad you found it useful! I’m going back next year, so I’ll probably do an updated video! Going to get some better cameras to record inside too so it should look a lot better too!
Fantastic video, thanks for the detail. I also really appreciate how you presented the locations of the stores, because you showed me some games that I managed to miss when I was there last May ;) PS the Namco Sound Museum is fantastic, it was not a cheap investment but I love it.
Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it! I'm glad you enjoyed the way I presented it :) Thought it would make it feel more like a proper tour of the place! Really wish I'd picked up that sound museum collection now!
I’m only half way through but this video is superb, well done. Capturing such an amazing area in such detail, it’s incredible. I went to Akihabara for one afternoon during my honeymoon in 2011 and loved it, so it’s great to be taken round the sights in more detail. I think I’ll probably end up watching this a few times.
I agree with your sentiments about super potato. Not everyone goes to Japan solely for retro game hunting so pick up a game there if you don't want to waste time visiting other stores. It will cost you more & time just to pick up the same game somewhere else despite it being cheaper especially if you have to catch a train to the another destination. We do not have stores likes these in my country so I would support them by buying a few games. The ambience in super potato is so cool that sometimes I rested on their arcade floor watching people play altered beast or metal slug while eating garigari-kun popsicle.
Very comprehensive video, some of these shops I’ve never heard of! Beep is indeed awesome. Wish I had stayed long enough to discover their console games, but I only had a few hours in Akihabara. For Famicom exclusives, there’s Konami’s Yume Penguin Monogatari as well as Moaikun (puzzle game with the eastern island head). Kaiketsu Yansha Maru and Cocoron are cool and the very expensive Robocco Wars is very tempting...
Watched until the end. A fantastic guide. Can't wait to get back there for my second trip. I enjoyed your Den Den town video. I didn't visit there my first trip and I was with non gamer friends. Next time it will be a Game holiday. What were some of your favourite meals whilst in Japan. The quality of food there is so cheap and delicious 👌
Thats great :) Glad you enjoyed it, and can spend more time game shopping on your next trip! :D as for feed, my favourite was definitely Katsudon! :D I could eat that forever! Also really loved the curry in CoCo's
What a video!! Your Google map idea really gave a sense of 'place' to everywhere, what an effort to do that! Such a chilled morning watching this. One weird question.. i heard Japan has loads of smokers indoors still.. is this much of an issue when there? Thanks so much, lot of work in this vid!
Thanks glad you enjoyed the way I put the vid together! Smoking in Japan is getting a lot better than when I went a few years ago, if smoking is allowed inside it is completely separated from the non smoking sections in all the places I went into.. There’s also no smoking allowed in the streets outside of designated smoking zones so overall it’s not a problem at all :)
There was a time when Trader 2 was better than Trader 1, it used to be the main retro store while Trader 1 had the more modern stuff. In fact Trader 2 was in a different location and was next door to that import store you were talking about. It was called Game Hollywood, I remember picking up the US version of Okami on PS2 in there. It’s gone now though unfortunately, like a lot of other cool stores. Also Elevator Action Returns is totally worth picking up, it’s arcade perfect on the Saturn. Great video, hope you had a good time there.
There were a few really cool stores like Messe Sanoh which was on the main strip that sold mainly new stuff but was great for all the obscure shoot ‘em up’s on the PS2 and 360. There was Asobit City that was on the same side as Trader 3; that was a huge place, the actual building space is still there but it’s not as cool as it used to be. The Try Amusement Tower was an amazing arcade that had a store in another part of town. That arcade had an old and new location but both are gone now. I remember G-Front as it was in the clip you had too, I clumsily asked for Armed Police Batrider on the off chance that they had it...and they did. MAK Japan was in a different location, it was just around the corner from Beep. It’s always been a tiny shop though 😄 Aki was amazing around 2001, everything was so cheap and all the rarities where there. It’s lost many of its gaming stores in favour of anime but there are still some great shops around. My favourite memory of Aki is actually a smell. Gamers had a distinctive smell about it, so distinctive that a local pub from me in Wales had exactly the same smell in their toilets. I kid you not their disinfectant smelled exactly the same.
Thanks! :) Thought it would be a good way of showing where everything is! Kind of wish I'd taken more video from outside the shops... maybe next time I'll do a full walking tour :)
around min 30, there are many uncommon PS2 Games from Hamster like Pooyan and Thundercross.. couldn't see the prices, but I started collecting these, and they got up in price very quick
🖐🏻 I have a question: 9:24 that game is PS3 exclusive? Because PS3 exclusives features DTS 5.1 Surround Sound, but in the box only appears Dolby Digital logo. I'm asking because I'm digital audio adept, and that detail made me curious about that. Great video!! 😻
when did you visit Japan and filmed this? I was going in 2020, my plane ticket was paid for, hotels were booked, things were set for months and then covid happened. Got the plane ticket refunded, dont know when people will be able to go there again :( I just found out your tokyo stores videos, so I got my evening entertainment covered for today ahah
That sucks, hopefully you got refunded and can try to go again when things open back up? Enjoy my Japan videos until then :) There's a playlist somewhere with all my Japan videos over my visits, been there 3 times now
I like that Konami put their logo on the spines of the Ps2? It looks like....maybe not so much by then but on 8 and 16 bit if they did that i would be pulling out all those games to look as it was a seal of quality
@@RetroBreak Yeah it was awesome. They gave us all a free PS2 for Christmas that year. I wrote the audio editor app + iLink driver for PS2 for game designers in the DevKit.
I did the best I could with what I had.. will try and make a better video next time I go again! If you thought this one was bad, it was a lot better and clearer than the one I did back in 2016!
Where should one go to find PAL games? I've personally never understood buying JP games unless you can read/speak the language, but i guess nice for collectors, i just want to be able to play the games to, haha.
In the UK there's regular retro gaming markets which are a fantastic way to get a lot of PAL games! I love going to Japan and buying Japanese games, only ones that either had no release outside of japan, or ones that have translation patches avaliable. There's a lot of japanese games that have english menus or can be played without needing to read, so still plenty to look at!
Very cool video! But I never understood people buying japanese games... If you don't understand anything or your PSOne/N64/SNES/etc is not compatible with other region games, why buy japanese games??
There are some games that have English text for example the Japanese version of Castlevania Bloodlines. There are also games that really not worth having English text like arcade based games as it's sole purpose of action orientated gameplay mechanics instead of story driven.
It's a good question. In addition to what FidFighter said, also a lot of older titles now have fan translations, and there's systems like the Retron 5, RetroFreak and soon the Polymega which let you use the original Japanese carts and CD's and apply the translations to the games so you can play them in English. Also there's just so many games that never came out outside of Japan that don't have much of a language barrier.
That's such a cool way to show us the shops. Must have taken you ages to make this video.
Thanks! Yeah it took a long time to piece it all together, I hope the end result was worth it :D
Fantastic walkthrough of Akihabara shops. I've only been to Tokyo once so far, which is funny considering its just a few hours away from me in Nagoya!
How can you resist the temptation to travel to Akihabara! :O I'd be there as often as I could if I lived in Japan! I'd also be extremely poor... haha
@@RetroBreak I cant haha xD Well, unfortunately Shinkansen is really expensive, so it would cost me too much going back and forth all the time.
But I haven't been to all the Hard Off's and Book Off's in Nagoya yet, so there's still more too see here. I always end up buying my games there anyway. And I noticed that there is more of those stores in Nagoya than Tokyo!
Well I guess you’re lucky having all those Hard Off shops! I visited a few last time I went to japan, it’s so cool rooting through the “Junk” bins and finding super cheap games and consoles!
Wow, you’re awesome for making this guide. I’m going to Japan in 20 months to see NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 16 and visit these shops along the way especially the arcades. What would be your top 3 recommendation for SEGA Dreamcast Selection?
15:17 is 1994 Taito’s “RayForce”

Great job! You did covered everything, amazing video... takes me back when I was there!
Great video! I'm going to Tokyo early january and I'm glad you showed some game soundtracks as that is what I'll be looking for 😊👍
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm never sure if I'm ever going to go to Japan, but I at least have videos like this to help me get the experience. Excellent work on this one! I can tell it took a lot of effort!

I was in Akihabara recently and think Retro Game Camp was the best shop for Nintendo games, prices on both sides of 1000 yen even for mario/donkey kong gb/gbc games

It definitely emptied my bank account! Haha. Thanks for watching! Ys VIII has such a good soundtrack! :D
Great video! Super cool to see all these shops. The 64DD is awesome, but it’s so expensive!
Yeah it’s crazy expensive for what it is.... one day I’ll get one! I just want it for the F-Zero X course creator!
