Game Pickups in Japan!!

[@kikimoraharpie]

That's Toro, one of Sony's mascot cats in Japan. That game appears to be one of his few appearances in a game! Pretty cool stuff there man.

[@IanC14]

I've got on of the other ones, on PS3.

[@sinom]

@@IanC14 the game is called "taro and holiday" I can't find any English sites for it though

[@braingum8509]

Ashens, why are you putting that accent on?

[@puckerbutton7025]

i understood that reference

[@nicholsliwilson]

NICO is what Shadow of the colossus was going to be called, based on it’s original main character. The DVD you have with it is a video DVD originally supplied to stores and has a short documentary, trailers and so on about the development of the game from before the story and main character were cut back.

[@hamstrungharry259]

That Macross game is AWESOME. It's not a corridor shooter. Its a straight up arcade style shooter like Ace Combat. I freaking love it.

[@AestheticFunk]

If you are interested in possibly getting your Japanese Super Famicom running, I could take a look at that for you. I run a retro console restoration eBay shop where I do exactly that, fix and future proof old consoles with new capacitors and other parts. I love your channel and would be more than happy to offer my services for free. It really depends on the problem however since Super Nintendos/Famicoms are particularly vulnerable due to Nintendo's design, it has very little filtering and electrical protection inside causing a lot of damage to their irreplaceable chips (PPUs and such).

[@habbochakertester]

Can you fix my erectile dysfuntion?

[@AbdallahTeach]

You are a hero

[@habbochakertester]

@Poison fuck off

[@MrVictimoDomino]

I love how excited you are in this video :D

[@OldsXCool]

That game where you fight with construction vehicles is called BCV: Battle Construction Vehicles in the PAL region. We never got it in the USA. I watched a You Tuber who is in that region play it and it was hilarious! When your character wins, he yells out "YOU WEAK!" I don't know if that'll be in the NTSC-J version though.

[@amox]

I just bought it on Ebay, thanks. 4,50€ is a pretty good deal. I live in Europe.

[@bombabombom3603]

I have Japanese Yoshi's Island too. The only Japanese cartridge I've ever owned.

[@oliverespiritu7383]

Ok. WTF is happening? There hasnt been an update on this channel for 3 months and the last tweet you made was in nov 17 2018. DId something happen? or are you just really busy ?

[@kkipper44]

I used to play that construction combat game a long time ago! It was super fun, it played like your regular 3d fighting game as you had supers and everything

[@Malleonardone]

13:01 It literally just says 'X', transliterated into Japanese phonetics (ekkusu).

[@maxxyize]

smachz have been dropping videos. we all await your return lord retro

[@zackschilling4376]

Thats why I love PS1 and 2 stuff. You can still find good to great deals on plenty of games. I got into ps1 stuff right before it shot up. Well, stuff wasnt dirt cheap but I got a lot of rare/expensive games for like 20 bucks - Einhander/Castlevania Chronicles, both CIB - are good examples.

[@DLaichtm]

The other word on the "X" cartridge says... EKKUSU XD That Namco game says: Famirii Saakitto (Family Circuit) As for that Taito golf cart: "Golf Ko (Kids) Open"

[@GuardianTam]

Don't you pull a JonTron on us Mr. Retro! You're the hero we need!

[@angiectoan4543]

What are your views on the new Intellivision console?

[@oldirtygamer]

Famicom I'd buy that for a dollar!

[@previousslayer]

Surprisingly few comments for such a prominent channel (not in subscribers maybe but in views). Cybershell blew up much more after his hiatus kicked in.

[@БрухБрух-щ7и]

@StopDrop&Retro! Did you saw that new smach z prototype?

[@KENDRAPR1]

THEY MADE A ANOTHER (probably) FAKE PROTOTYPE,that was fast

[@Red3Tube]

Now I'm not too familiar with these non-Kickstarter / non-Indiegogo vids but I hope to see some gameplay from these in a near future if possible. Anyway, congrats on the awesome loot. I had the Ace Combat 3 as a kid and tried reaching all the endings without understanding a single word!

[@panquequejt]

I went to japan also, and the best stores for retro gaming in my experience was Book off. There are so many and is super cheap compared to super potato.

[@LegendarySuperVegeta]

You should go video game shopping in China or Hong Kong next, you won't regret it

[@duncanbug]

OMG STOPDROP THAT CONSTRUCTION FIGHTING GAME IS AMAZING! Thorhighheels did a great video on it! Have fun with it!

[@RaphaelPowery]

Played the nightmare before christmas and honestly it was a sick game to play after I had my fill of KH2 as a child 100% recommend (fueled by nostalgia)

[@MakoTenseii]

Lmao you got battle construction vehicles. It has an english version exclusive to europe. Its hillarious. You need the english version. Its very very cheap too. In stores used it costs £0.50

[@FallicIdol]

Dominik Makówka sounds absolutely amazing

[@CoolVids19]

2:52 that's Toro! The mascot for PlayStation he's pretty uncommon outside of Asia (he's also pretty uncommon for in Asia too though but less so). In Asia we get the theme featuring him as a PS Plus bonus for the PS4.

[@sinom]

The bandai racing game is called "family circuit"

[@altersaber1274]

Lucky that you found an Ultraman game for that cheap because it costly to even import especially Ultraman ultimate fighting evolution 3 for the PS2.

[@okamichamploo]

Namco Game & Robot one is called "Family Circuit" in the Japanese The next one is "Golf Ko Open" (Ko meaning kid or child)

[@mintynuggets]

hey man huge fan of the channel, the other day i stumbled upon this handheld called the pyra made by a small team in germany . after digging a bit further i found out that it was not they'r first handheld and that they made a handheld that was called the open pandora which was a moderate success and that they are still supporting it with regular software updates. it would be pretty cool if you could make a video showcasing the handheld .

[@jasonnguyen1379]

Can't wait for the Gpd pocket review!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

that Mario bros 2 yellow gba cart awesome :-D

[@biglevian]

Thanks to the simple series the first earth defense force was published. One of my favorite game series.

[@andrewkeyes5927]

Pro tip, junk in Japan just means untested

[@ahmedp800]

Great pick-ups And the Super Famicom looks great as a show piece even if broken!

[@awesomeferret]

Glad to see that you seem to be having a great time.

[@BawesomeBurf]

I've heard that Super Potato stores have gotten expensive in the past few years and their selection isn't what it used to be. Seems like Hard Off is generally the better place to go.

[@Kris451]

Hehehe... Nico. Sounds very familiar. Right?

[@UnwovenSleeve]

LETS GO BOOOWWWWWWLLLLIIIINNNNNGGGGGG

[@BudiAnto7]

3:36 you can get english version called BCV: Battle Construction Vehicles. and no, thats not turn based games. i play the game alot once i was a kid, great game!

[@ovwarrior]

PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT SOULJA BOYS CONSOLE!!!! I fucking love your channel

[@fuzer909]

That battleship game was a very popular rental title in my area.

[@custard9731]

EVEN MORE SD&R VIDZ ? holy fuck Christmas came early

[@MercurialDiety]

I know that you don't really do Lets Plays, but I would love to see you do a video with maybe a 2 minute cut of each game and a bit of commentary. I've always found that Japanese exclusive games may not have the most popular mechanics, but tend to have a lot more personality. Thanks for the videos, bro.

[@JAYWAY1982]

You need PSVR. Like Rez and Ace Combat would blow your mind.

[@admiralfrosty3495]

Rez Infinite lives up to the hype on PSVR, holy shit.

[@ghostoflazlo]

Come back to us, we miss you!

[@TechInspected]

I'm here because I'm waiting for StopDrop to make a new video on Smach because they uploaded a video on their "prototype" recently - like a day or so ago.

[@TheSanco26]

Do you have a video planned about the new Smachz developments?

[@MushaGundamMKIII]

13:02 that Japanese literally just says “ekkusu” xD

[@BrainSlugs83]

Lol they spelled out "X".

[@ViewpointProd]

gamecenter cx, a man of culture i see

[@maddog187killa]

Ah, you went to Super Potato in Akiba. I used to live in Tokyo and my wife is Japanese. I go back there every 8 months. Get tons of games there. You should have gone to BookOff. Way cheaper games.

[@UnwovenSleeve]

I'd love to see you play through all of these.

[@garyhanson655]

Nice.

[@maro6477]

Cool!

[@MiloKuroshiro]

Yeah, Super Potato is really expansive nowadays.

[@dwalk9674]

Hey StopDrop, What takes you out to Japan, if you don't mind me asking?

[@MrMegaManFan]

Living the dream! Wish I could go there and do the same. 🎮👍

[@derekjenkins6614]

Just wondering if you've considered a feature on the unfolding Kickstarter trainwreck which is "LeviZen" by Simplistyk? Looks like the company has gone to ground.

[@B10KPlaysGames]

Nice bruh

[@mawlinzebra]

The energy airforce game has the same jet artwork as ace combat 04. I'm actually pretty sure they used the same image of the jet.

[@prinzkomi5490]

by the way, the rest on the X cartrige reads... X. Yes, really. It's just a phonetic transcription into katakana XP

[@BrainSlugs83]

I wonder if any of the visual translation phone apps would be useful for those old video games...

[@Screamer26]

Is everything fine?, you havent upload a video in a long time :o

[@chadandroid]

Cool! I miss your "cheap games" vids you used to do.. maybe later show some game play?

[@-ratto-]

3:39 「建設重機喧嘩バトル ぶちギレ金剛!!」 建設重機 kensetsu juuki Heavy construction equipment 喧嘩 バトル kenka　battle quarrel　battle ブチ切れ buchigire enraged 金剛 kongou adamant

[@darklilligant2636]

I have the English version of the nightmare before Christmas game and if it dose have an English setting for the audio be prepared to hear Jack scream "SOUL ROBBER" every fucking time you attack or use the grappling hook form of the soul robber. Other than that it's an ok movie tie in game.

[@sinom]

The part after X literally just says X again but in japanese

[@aser278]

Never thought I would be interested in games from other country’s

[@DijaVlogsGames]

youshouldnotbecringy you haven’t been around for long, haven’t you?

[@nicholsliwilson]

youshouldnotbecringy why not, everyone else is? Also, “countries” not “country’s”

[@aser278]

Nicholas Wilson it auto corrected

[@nicholsliwilson]

youshouldnotbecringy isn’t autocorrect helicopter? :P

[@dandan3045]

Super Potato is the best!

[@GraveReaperCushions]

Game Center CX sounds a lot like True Gamer starring Slowbeef...

[@SianaGearz]

Holy hell, you'll actually make content next year? Give us short reviews of all the rare and weird games you have. Like 2-3 minutes per game with footage. And let's help you repair the Super Famicom. A lot of minor things can go wrong there, including voltage regulators and solder joints for AV, power connectors, etc. Of course not every fault is minor but if you have other junk donor consoles, everything is doable.

[@-ratto-]

2:40 トロ　と　休日 toro to kyuujitsu Take a holiday with Toro

[@jacobyne]

Most of those ps2 games had an English release, Battle construction vehicles has a Pal release, the rest you have ntsc us too. You should have bought Lickle or Gimmick :p

[@hamstrungharry259]

Also, that Golf is game is Golf Ko Open.

[@weiswurst666]

Try the fuse on the side 1.5 A I think it is this was my problem

[@memyopinionsche6610]

OK a PlayStation 2 game based on the Warriors movie... I am intrigued and confused I didn't know it existed. Will you show gameplay footage? How well does fallow the movie plot lines? Is it from the dreaded LJN? Curious minds need to know.

[@admiralfrosty3495]

It was actually made by Rockstar, believe it or not!

[@suitrBJ]

Just returned from Japan myself. Went to super potato expected it to be bigger got a Kirby game and pokemon tcg game for 560" yen as present for someone else was going to pick up gc controller but was 2700 yen. But some cool stuff like a blue see through ps2. Was heaven at book off for manga soo many great stuff

[@HaohmaruHL]

suitrBJ "expected to be bigger" just general thought everywhere you go in japan if you're from usa/europe

[@suitrBJ]

@@HaohmaruHL I'm from AU

[@SUPERKID515]

greatness!!

[@UltimateDailga12]

Hey @StopDrop&Retro I saw a recent video saying that Smach z is actually coming out with their product. Can you make another video on this?

[@monicachain8680]

Have you seen the Intellivision Amico yet? Because I’m dying to see what you think of this.

[@QuartzIsAnOxide]

Do you have the Game Center CX games on DS? They're legit two of my favorite games ever for the system!

[@HAYveku]

thought this was an ashens video when i clicked it

[@Lowend115]

The smach z is back

[@Mike.Garcia]

don't forget the ODROID GO

[@touchly]

famicom is much cuter than snes

[@HaohmaruHL]

touchly even dog's shit is cuter than ntsc-u nes and snes. Wait till you see how famicom and super famicom game boxes look with it's super adorable or cool art

[@captainfuture5984]

Hey Man, nice games. Anyway, I've heard that Smach Z is gonna start production soon. Also there's still no working prototype available. I fear that more people is gonna fall for this scam again. Can you do another video on this latest news update? A lot of people are still ignorant about this scam.

[@lapinus]

Even tho they have a 75% working proto that can already play any game

[@thecriticaleffect3849]

Ashens’ younger self.

[@rezganger]

Very cool! Theres an app for android to translate text.Y just use yr phone camera and film text (japanese) and it shows up on yr screen in english!There r several free apps on google play. Let us know how it works out. Thanks for sharing.

[@-ratto-]

14:38 ゴルフ ッチ　オープン golf tchi open

[@okamichamploo]

The Japanese next to "X" just says "ekkusu" (In other words.. X in japanese lol)

[@Alanzice]

If you mod this Super Famicom with a Raspberry Pi, please do a video about it.

[@bscubed]

Smach Z put a price on his head so he had to hide out in Japan

[@tokyowarfare6729]

Dude.... Time to make a video right?.... I miss your stufff

[@jorj4317]

Bro, a new trailer of Smach Z where the prototype is shown, but I might help you out. In the trailer when he moves the stick the game doesn't react emidiatly but some time later. There is a service called PlayKey. U can launch GTA V on a raspery pi with PlayKey. And the controls work the same (and still don't react imidiatly.

[@lapinus]

It's because the driver has to be better developed

[@adrien3967]

R.I.P GameBand lol

[@capnbug]

N o I c e

[@pswitch9553]

0:42 The Communism? Nice game.

[@Samwild]

I think he's stuck in Japan.

[@Clay3613]

Eh, The Warriors was an alright deal. The Xbox version was and still is the best despite the terrible analog response, plus cheap! The HD versions are full of crushed blacks and missing music. I cannot play the first three Gran Turismos, the difficulty curve is insane.

[@kanesmith8271]

Did the Yakuza kill this guy?

[@SUPERKID515]

Hey stopdropretro, do you do interviews for other pages?? I would like to get in contact with you about be a guest on a stream show..
