I Searched for Japan’s CHEAPEST Retro Game Store
I’m back in Japan for more retro game hunting! This time I’m driving across western Japan, searching Hard Off, Surugaya, and tons more tiny shops for the best prices on retro games and consoles!

This video took me by surprise and took away 45 minutes of my sleeping time, but I do not regret it.
I stopped playing Pokemon Go then dropped into Pikmin Bloom.
OMG!!! I just rewatched your old video! No wonder you are back in Japan again!! Excited to finally visit Japan next year! 🎉🎉🎉
Excellent Video, last years video was one of my favorites and this is even better! thanks for sharing
Glad i had notifications on for the channel. So cool to see you uploading some stuff for us.
42:40 CHANCE SIGHTING! 😊😊😊

Hey its good to see another video. And its another banger as usual 🗣️🗣️🗣️
oh its the pokemon go guy
Solid video! Whats the songs you used in this video? I really like your picks especially the first song!
Hi Nick, so happy to watch your video, especially as I was doing the same thing 3 months ago in Japan, especially in Kyushu area 😄 I just wanted to say that indeed, Bookbox in Kagoshima is an amazing place to visit. It's 2 old gentlemen that own the store, they are passionate and we had a blast. This place looks like a museum, it's almost overwhelming. Anyway, it's really nice to see you wandering around the same stores, it brings back nice memories. Thanks for the video! Cheers mate
Hold up# game cube Gameboy adapters are NOT region locked! I'm using a Japanese adapter on my US GameCube right now!
It always shocks me the rare great prices people pass up on in these videos to only get things we could get anywhere for just a good discount instead..
I love these videos, even more than the Pogo videos. Just love the vlog style. Keep it up plz!
I respect these shops for not immediately throwing away broken stuff, knowing that someone will come by and buy the items to fix and enjoy. Yet again, Japan is peak.
When you fully get entrenched in commander, and go back to Japan, the more known Magic The Gathering Store is Hareruya. Just their sleeves are pretty awesome and have some cache in America.
So happy you uploaded this Nick. Great content and can't wait to go to one of my dream destinations Japan one day.
It's so crazy the difference in prices from shop to shop. I guess it's kinda like here. I don't know if you know about it, I'm sure you do but do they have a price checking web site like pricecharting over there?
The prices recently just started skyrocketing over there. They use to be so cheap just a couple years ago.
so basically you searching for the cheapest video game store in the hoenn region
Nick putting me on Hard-off changed my first Japan trip significantly 🙌🏽
@NicholasOyzon you should play commander with our group if you’re ever in San Diego!
Glad you’re back over here!
We've missed you!!
12:35 that is SO cool!
i visited that suruga-ya in Kumamoto, and OMG the figure section had so many hidden gems that you will not find in Tokyo/Osaka, like FFVII Gacha figures.
I wish you would gone to hita I’m going there in November
The Tsuruya section was so cute! I hope he and his lil shop are doing fine <3
I'm going on a trip with family in a month, and while we're stuck in Tokyo (so the prices may not desirable), these are super fun to watch. Even if I might not get anything, you make Hard/Book Off hunting look fun, so I'm looking forward to doing the same. Maybe I'll just pick up an NDS.
Awesome vid! 🙂
ハードオフに売りに行こう🎶
It is always fun to remote browse through Japanese thrift stores, I would go broke if I ever made it there xD Thanks for taking us along!
I would love to see a video about your MTG Commander experience!
PLEASE DO BEYBLADE PLEASSSSEEEEEEEEEE
