wow cool soundtrack section, didn't expect it to be that great

[@RetroReWire]

I agree! It’s definitely worth digging through. Cheers!

22:24 Well I got mine back in FEB from Suragaya for 25,000 Yen

[@_Username__]

24:56 GORGEOUS

[@_Username__]

24:03 I never seen any for Saturn

[@RetroReWire]

Surugaya, Mandarake and Super Potato may be a better option for Saturn guides in general.

[@_Username__]

Yaaaaay 😍

[@_Username__]

this 21:35 white wiimote is rare

[@RetroReWire]

I don't see it as often as the other themed Wiimotes.

[@Leonasambongo]

I love how japan gas so many old and new video games. Seeing the videos is enough but would be a huge dream to see it in person. Wish i could platy the Japanese games.

[@fazares]

ebay is ur friend

[@RetroReWire]

Yes, Japan still has many games available, both old and new. Hopefully one day you will find yourself exploring Japan. Cheers!

[@_Username__]

OMG I would have gotten this 19:16 silver ps3

[@_Username__]

I never get these "best" versions 9:08

[@RetroReWire]

I do with certain Best releases. The Capcom ones tend to include extras, from soundtracks to guidebooks.

[@colinliew9641]

Was looking at the Nintendo switch consoles... So how much is it for a regular switch? I see some for 20k. Is that price inclusive of 20% discount or do I need to deduct the discount myself... Like 16k for the final price?

[@RetroReWire]

Yes, that's typically how they advertise their prices. You have the base price, and a yellow sticker lists the discount amount. The discount is then applied at the register.

[@dottyorb]

I want to go to this store just for the soundtracks

[@RetroReWire]

Book OFF rarely disappoints with their soundtrack selections!

[@_Username__]

23:29 OMG how many animal crossing guides they have hahahahaha

[@RetroMoments]

It's great to see that you can still pick up lightguns for cheap. I find them all the time in the junk. And they're definitely getting more pricey in Europe now.

[@RetroReWire]

I agree, some places have light guns well under ¥1000. I’d like to add a Guncon3 to the collection. Cheers!

[@DannyMexen9]

Bloodborne looks sick! I was surprised by MGS guide book thickness 😮

[@RetroReWire]

Some of these guide books get super thick!

[@dennistimothyclima6112]

oh bookoff near to my place, maybe 10minutes by Bicycle.

[@RetroReWire]

Cycling in that area would be awesome. I may try that in the future. Cheers!

[@_Username__]

24:25, interesting but too thick for my taste

[@_Username__]

29:34 I just got this for the same price hahahahaha

[@Cezkarma]

17:16 here it's just WHAT??!

[@yeyeibarra]

Peanuts as in cheap, haha.

[@pres002]

I just want super famicom in box for a good price......I'm going to Japan in Nov here in a couple weeks and I' searching or it.

[@RetroReWire]

Book OFF and Hard OFF have some decent prices just outside of Tokyo. Cheers!

[@pres002]

@@RetroReWire aye! I'll be in Osaka a couple days too. But hopefully find something lol

[@RetroReWire]

I saw one today for a cool ¥3,000 at a House Off. That's another store for you to consider, happy hunting! @@pres002

[@Health.FoodLife]

Which one is much affordable this one or traders?

[@RetroReWire]

There will not be a drastic difference, and it certainly depends on what you're looking to buy, but the BOOK OFF may be slightly more affordable with regard to software. In general, the Trader stock will be superior. Cheers!

[@_Username__]

5:31 omg you should have picked this!! dirt cheap

[@RetroReWire]

I totally forgot to buy it after recording, haha!

[@TheRealKarmaquarius]

as always great video, some of those OST's had me drooling!

[@RetroReWire]

Glad you liked the video! And Yes! All them OSTs are a huge temptation, haha. More to come, cheers!

[@jtdx_]

Good prices on some of those PS2 consoles and nice selection of games as well. I'll definitely have to hit up this spot next time I'm in Tokyo!

[@RetroReWire]

The PS2 fighting game selection was solid! Cheers!

[@_Username__]

7:49 wow they are starting to games with "sfc" & "n64" tags, never seen that before

[@phile6889]

Cheers man! How you been JJ?

[@RetroReWire]

All good! Work had me traveling, so that means more videos from the regions I visited! Cheers!

[@HansBoopie]

Final Fantasy VI OST for ~$4… that would be an instant buy from me. One of my favorite soundtracks!

[@RetroReWire]

A legendary soundtrack indeed, cheers!

[@Bokuwachoppa]

There was a dreamcast arcade stick at 1:36 did you check what price it was?

[@RetroReWire]

Yes, it’s priced at ¥3,800 before sales tax. Cheers!

[@Bokuwachoppa]

Thank you for replying that is a really good deal because on ebay people are selling them for 100 usd also if you can check how much is the average price for a neogeo pocket I might go to japan soon so I would like to know how much it is

[@RetroReWire]

I picked up a couple of NG Pocket color handhelds this year. I paid ¥5,500 and ¥5,600 for each. One was sold as junk due to battery corrosion. The other included the box, but was missing the battery door. On average you can expect to pay around ¥10,000 for a working unit. With the box that price will increase a bit. The original non-color version is pricey, however. Cheers!@@Bokuwachoppa

[@_Username__]

The ps3 remote control & wii u controller are super good deals

[@_Username__]

23:33 there is a rare Biohazard guide here, the one on the left side of 2

[@_Username__]

4:49 1800 in box is good deal, I got it for 2300

[@Daniel_YM_Lee]

Great Video as always! Especially it helps me a lot, especially to pick the spot for the visit in November. By the way, I sent the email to the address registered on your KZbin channel but for some reason email did not go through. Would you kindly let me know to reach you by email (I don't do Insta or Facebook) to inquire about game tour?

[@RetroReWire]

Hmm strange, I'll have a look at my email settings. In the meantime, is there an e-mail address I can reach you at?

[@RetroReWire]

Ok, my e-mail should be good to go. It seems I was over my storage limit, haha. Cheers!

[@itadakihokkaido4305]

Another great video!!! I hope to take your hunting tour someday!

[@RetroReWire]

Glad you liked the video! And yes, I'll be waiting, cheers!

[@Pikmin3388]

Love the video schedule More handhelds plox? XD

[@RetroReWire]

More handheld action to come! In the next video we’ll explore another region of Japan. Stay tuned, cheers!

[@_Username__]

wow a lot of wii u games 9:03

[@_Username__]

17:47 WHOA cheeeap

[@stevangerardo4471]

Love your videos bro. Will go to bookoff plus in osaka next week for 3ds hunting

[@RetroReWire]

I appreciate it! And Happy hunting, cheers!

[@stevangerardo4471]

@@RetroReWire hope that I can find good new 3ds reguler. It's kinda rare in my country here in Indonesia

[@RetroReWire]

I don't think you'll have too much trouble finding one. I see them fairly often. Pricing will vary depending on the shop and location. The shop in this video had them at a decent price. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKurZYuGmdVpmLc @@stevangerardo4471

[@josem.228]

Thanks again for the soundtrack section!

[@RetroReWire]

More to come, cheers!

[@_Username__]

17:51 wow this game is worth getting, unique

[@RetroReWire]

It's a cool game, and it supports the PS1 mouse. Cheers!

[@fazares]
