I recommend checking out this channel, he lives in Japan and often game hunts in Book Off/Hard Offs and it'll give you an idea of prices and what you can expect to find: https://www.youtube.com/user/KidShoryuken

If you go to those stores, dig through the junk bins! Often games are labeled as "junk" if the condition is off or they happen to have to many copies of the game (think Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest stuff). And when I say the condition is off? I mean it's near mint...lol. The Japanese are amazing with their condition of items. They mark the prices down accordingly if something is wrong. Watch the channel I linked to, to see. You can really get an idea of the condition Japanese games are kept in. I mean sure there will be some yellowed cartridges or the odd one where someone wrote their name on it but from what I've seen in his videos, 80% of games look perfect. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=189045 2019-10-18T05:44:15 -05.00 YellowGameboyColor 8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYggHs2j_u8

Everything you're going to find in Akihabara is going to be overpriced. You'll find a lot of articles online talking about Super Potato and Retro Game Camp. While they both have a ton of stock and consoles and other neat things, their reputations comes with a high price. My personal favorite in Akihabara is Surugaya Specialty Store. You won't see this one mentioned too much, but I felt their prices were the most reasonable out of all of the local stores. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=189045 2019-10-18T01:32:22 -05.00 YellowGameboyColor 8 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=189045 2019-10-18T00:00:42 -05.00 YellowGameboyColor 8 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=189045 2019-10-17T23:55:42 -05.00 YellowGameboyColor 8
I guess this would be a good thread to compile a list of all of the video game stores in Japan as well. ]]>
