God the timing of this is so perfect for me, as currently I have the fever for the flavour of the PC Engine. It's almost a relief to see that the prices are also that high in Japan, but man the market on these is fuuuuucked. I still look out for deals because I like collecting them, but thank god for everdrives, ODEs, MiSTeR FPGA, and even emulation, giving us options to play them.
Awesome video! Since I am looking to add more games from Japan to my PC Engine collection as well. Great pickups. I have to get that Jackie Chan game as well! And amazing price on Fatal Fury 2. Turbo Everdrive might be something I will get in the future as well.
PC Engine is a refreshing console to collect for. A very underrated retro console and a wide variety of console options out there 👌 If you want to play on original hardware Turbo everdrive pro is the way to go. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Very pleasant tour among the PC Engine isles! I think you did the right thing getting Jackie Chan, the price will probably not get any lower. And Fatal Fury 2 was an affordable one, if your Everdrive does work as an arcade card it’s a bargain!
Well done on getting Jackie Chan. I bought it a year ago or so, but I don't have a system to play it on yet. I found this video interesting because although I am not in the market for PCE it is a system that I have a little curiosity about. Those prices though. I've got about $4000 dollars on my wanted list without PCE stuff adding on to it. I guess when I come over I'll buy a bit on my list, but a whole lot that isn't based on whats there at the time. I'm doing Super Potato last when I get there, I'm sure most of what I want will be in the other stores. Thanks for the video.
I appreciate the super. Thanks. I have been wanting to try out Rayxanber III for a while now. i will give it a go very soon. There won't be any donuts left when the smoke clears 😄🍩🍩🍩
Prices are def more expensive than when I first got into collecting PCE, but I'm honestly surprised some of them aren't more expensive. Gradius II in particular is so good, it deserves to be a $100+ game!
Super potato has a great selection but some of their games are PRICEY. I bought a shuttle grafx from them a long time ago, forgot it at an apt in korea...when i came back the next day it was gone. Made me very sad in the pants. T.T I do miss checking out the retro game stores. If you ever find a cheap copy of bubblegum crisis/crash, lemme know. :D
About 80 percent of the PCE/TG16 games I still want I have been priced out on unfortunately. Definitely a rich man’s console since a few years ago. Forced to emulate a bunch of titles although I prefer original software and hardware. You did get some decent stuff for good enough prices. I really want more Saturn and Dreamcast and Jaguar and PCE/TG16 stuff but totally out of my reach unless I’m making a disposable income.
Sad to see that most of those places now charge more than ebay. Auction ending prices that is. Fatal Fury 2, Street Fighter, and Jackie Chan were the only deals.
I was there mid of April this year, tbh I was shocked by how especially the PCE prices had skyrocketed... PC Genijn/Denjin? not below 10k Go Go Birdie? 26k...lol no one can tell me there is such a request in an anime golf game... Ane san 19k? ......I remember buying 3 copies each at 3000 Yen.... I find it hard to believe that the demand has risen so much during the last 4 years tbh... I do understand Corona and no tourists having an impact. but when I was there most of the touristy people were looking for FC or SFC stuff. PC Engine (ignoring the heavy hitters and special editions) kept a rather slow and stable price development over the past 10 years in my opinion and now it exploded.. did any big RUclipsr do a special on it or what?
popularity has kinda gotten crazy the demand in other parts of the world for retro games and the depreciation of the yen has shot the price of games up quite a bit. but these are akihabara prices there are better deals else where of course.
Very cool pick ups Scruffs! Jackie Chan is one of my all-time favorites. I included it in my 5 PC Engine games I always come back to video as well. I also picked up my Turbo Everdrive Pro today from the post office! Unfortunately I don't think I'll have time to mess with it since I'm leaving to Japan on Monday 😅 I love these videos especially when the PC Engine is involved 😁
I'm glad you approve 👌 Now i have both Jackie chan for the famicom and the pc engine 😁 Finally your everdrive arrived. Congratulations 🎊 Hope you guys have a blast in Osaka. If you have a chance check out the new go live together function in the youtube app it would be cool to do a live collaboration from japan.
500 yen for Garou Densetsu 2? Ya damned right that is pick up worthy! As for that Rastan Saga, it is the second game, the absolute worst of the trilogy, avoid like the plague. Detana Twinbee on the PCE is a good port, the problem is, two stages have been cut from the arcade original, definitely not worth the prices they are asking for it though. Just get Twinbee Deluxe Pack for PS1, or Saturn if you want a close to perfect port. That pack also has Twinbee Yahho, which is an awesome game. Also spotted an expensive as hell Wonder Momo (good port, but almost 5,000 yen, yikes), and a stupidly expensive hucard only Tower of Druaga (the best port of the game due to Namco pretty much redoing the entire game to look more modern) for almost 9,000 yen. 14:46, I'll pass on the donoffee. 😉😜
Glad you agree on the Garou densetsu pick up. I do love me some twinbee as well. I need to grab parodius for the pc engine at some point though. Id say all the well known popular titles have almost doubled in price in akihabara since the boarders have opened. And what is wrong with a little old fashion donoffe??🍩☕️🤣
@@ScruffyLookinRGB I watched the video at like 3AM, I thought my ears were deceiving me, rewound to that part of the video 5 times. I knew it was an unfortunate edit. 😄😄 But yeah, I do tend to notice games sometimes not spoken in the video, knew Druaga had gone up considerably, but damn it continues to rise, no end in sight. I'd expect it to be well over $150 within 5 years, unless it happens to plateau (it likely won't drop in price after either). But 5K yen for Momo looks rather stiff as the game is a weird little platformer that plays out like a stage play. I do wish I had bought Detana Twinbee on Wii VC years back, despite already having my Saturn copy of Twinbee Deluxe Pack. Despite losing 2 stages, the game still has it's charms. Forgot to mention, I have that Jackie Chan game, but for NES, still a fine game, and I got it when it was far cheaper as copies do tend to sell for a lot more now, especially the US release. The PCE release is a lot more colorful, and a bit nicer in the graphics department. But the NES release is pretty damned good too.

I'm glad to hear it👍🏼😉 and you can say that again, everdrives are amazing 👏 😉

Jackie Chan is really cool. PC Engine games are not cheap. 4000 is a huge chunk of change. Hope you enjoy your time when you come🙏
Cool video. The everdrive turbo is the only everdrive I am missing.
The ability to play hue cards AND CDROMs is huge👍🏼
The shmup I recommend most on PC Engine is Rayxanber III, easier than 2 and much better. Also Sarumaru said something about a donut eating contest?
I appreciate the super. Thanks. I have been wanting to try out Rayxanber III for a while now. i will give it a go very soon. There won't be any donuts left when the smoke clears 😄🍩🍩🍩

While most things are getting up there in price, there are still deals to be had.
Yeah, that's totally what I was saying
Great content as always! How much do PC engines usually go for?

Sad but true. Games are up there in price at superpotato. Oh man, not the shuttle! 😢 I'll keep my eyes out for bubble gum crisis 😉

Yes, it is getting expensive. I found i need to narrow down what i collect for. PC engine is my second favorite 😍
Sad to see that most of those places now charge more than ebay. Auction ending prices that is. Fatal Fury 2, Street Fighter, and Jackie Chan were the only deals.
Wow it has gotten pretty terrible then at superpotato at least. Hope things calm down my wallet cant take much more of this🤑
Those game cards are realy amazing 😊🎉😊
Glad you like them! Hue cards are so fresh😀

Great system. Great games. But prices have drifted far too high for my budget.
It's understandable there is always emulation👉🎮
