Today, I traveled out to west Tokyo, to the neighborhood of Hachioji for a good old fashioned retro game hunt at Hard Off. This was literally the biggest and best stocked Hard Off I’ve ever been to, and a long with my little buddy Destiny, we picked up A LOT of games!

I wish I could afford supporting you on patreon because I would totally love to get a copy of Ganbare Goemon 2 on super famicom
Liquor off is the funniest store name ever, I have heard about the Epoch system but never actually seen it upclose.
Cassette tapes man I must have been like 5 or 6 years old when my brother had a Commodore64.
Those loading sounds XD..
Destiny seems super cool I hope she found some cool games
That Nigh of the living dead shirt is off the charts
Usually when buying second hand games the cleanest and complete are the most desired, so it was very accurate to see a yellowed Super Famicom priced higher than the more refreshed Super Famicoms. When we hear the word 'depreciation' we know the value of something is declining, and this makes me wonder how big videogame companies estimate how long their products will last before they are worth nothing. Since the secondary market determines the market value of the old products (Hard Offs), do we videogame collectors get to dictate the salvage value by default?
I want that star blazers game
You had me at Jordan's and Chucks!
I'd love to have anywhere like this where I'm from in the UK, But sadly I don't. 😢
I'd spend hours it that place.
Great video.
Strangely, Destiny's breasts don't look that big when she's wearing a hoodie… don't you think? Otherwise, a super cool shopping tour, as usual !
Nice video man, as always! I've asked you before, but i "loose" the answer, do you work with/or sell the games worldwide?
Was Destiny there for Wrestle Kingdom???
Cool video. This looks like the spot to pick up games.
Super Aleste is definitely one of the best shoot em ups on the SNES (Compile and the Aleste series started out on MSX). Lovely condition box (mine has a fair bit of spine fade).
That Hard Off looked absolutely huge, other than the couple of items in the glass case did you see any other MSX items there? Might have to use Jim's services in the future if so.
I love these videos that you do
Great hunt and video as always. Loving the new logo and great pickups.
awesome
rip brad renfro
@25:00
Steve Bailey scooping up all the good stuff for foreign buyers lol
Video made me bring out some of my retro games for a classic gaming night
What a haul!!!
Also Ys commercial and Ys music is chef's kiss.
Prices here seem pretty high compared to yahoo japan auctions, tho. But I gotta hit up these hard offs
Most of their junk consoles and games are just untested overstock. Very rarely do they have anything wrong with them (worst case cosmetic)
250 for ps vr still
The outflow of games from Japan continues. No wonder some Japanese retro game YouTubers have resorted to going to old neighborhood toy stores in order to look for dead stock.
Considering this episode, I can see a major upgrade in the channel Jim. It was a good decision of yours to share the channel with people that have a great appetite for making good content. Edit, music and the whole run of the episode looks brand new and it’s great. Also you have nice people to accompany you around! Thanks for the video and congrats to Mad Panic Gaming Team
This became the worst HardOff. It used to be a hidden place but now its more popular than any Super Potato. There's even a store clerk that can speak english pretty well 🤣 a real rarity in japan
4:56 she sounds like the marvel vs capcom lady that say ‘ready!’ Or ‘capcom presents’
Please post the 3 hour director's cut!
I just came from ECO town tonight hahaha
I actually didn't think they had good collection of games
I also went to Hamura's just before ECO town, and it wasn't good neither
I might go to Tachkawa's
Is it possible to find english region versions of games in japan?
Video was great wish the store you went to had a online shop
I think I remember you mentioned that you were changing the name of your channel. I'll miss Kidshoryuken. I gotta get used to "Mad Panic Gaming", as it just doesn't sound right or have any uniqueness to it. But I love your content all the same. Good luck to you, and I'll keep watching if you keep doing what you do.😄
Great video, I really like to spend hours in a Hard Off, do sure.
The game & watch lcd games for ¥5500 are quite underprized. They sell like hotcakes for €50-90 on ebay and mostly less well preserved too.
DBZ Legends is a must own! Especially for the Sega Saturn! I own the PS version and sold the my Saturn along with that game. I regret it now. 😢
This is the first time I've seen you and your voice reminds me of Mark from the Classic games room channel.
I have to agree with you on Goremon 2, it's an excellent game!
Love hachioji hardoff, would love a picture of that pixel art on the table. Want to make a sign for the basement 🙂
