I love the Hotel's desire to still retain the building's history, especially as the roots of Nintendo's activities and history. I enjoy how authentic it is in nature.

[@warbossgegguz679]

That's kinda how Kyoto is in general, being that it was Japan's capital all the way until the Tokugawa shogunate. There's a lot of proud history there.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Keeping the tradition of Nintendo's greed by charging 1k a night

[@Sun-ut9gr]

@@neverlucky3406 It's probably a tactic to keep attendance low. That building isn't very large.

[@trinityskitz7929]

So many Nintendo items considered "Extremely rare" in the United States and Europe are so easy to come by in Japan itself it baffles my mind. Although it does make sense since it's the country it all was made in the first place back in the day.

[@dawnhero6439]

That's always interesting to me too. It's the same with Pokemon cards. Japan exclusive cards, are just regular cards in Japan...so there's no premium for it domestically. It might still be rare and expensive, but it will be cheaper than anywhere else since you have to import it there.

[@shadowblack1987]

Same with JDM cars.

[@sinixsinix1843]

I like the fact that you always try to show us some history and nature through your videos. Good work!

[@itshelloraiin]

Title should have been: "I found the rarest Pokemon DS In Japan (and looked at it for 10 seconds)"

[@JordonVW]

That car at 5:46 ❤ Japan is famous for its car modifying culture and that was quite the classic car.

[@wafflybag]

Your B Roll shoots are so enchanting and calming to look at, excellent video, keep up the good work!

[@PHUSII]

This is like watching an anime come to life. Just few mates going around Japan hunting for bargains! Love all the episodes of this trip so far!

[@wyattalexander4041]

These vlogs are so well shot, the editing is fantastic, and your sarcasm stays amazing haha But seriously this whole series of you traveling Japan has been so cool 😎 imma be sad when they stop lol

[@Aeduo]

Kinda crazy how not everything retro-gaming related over there hasn't been speculated in to the sky.

[@asafon]

Video Title and then its just mentioned 3 second from a 12.30 min video. lol

[@Awemahe]

5:45 still peaceful with that sound

[@jackmerrick9902]

The videography is unreal, some awesome shots!

[@rmgb-tv]

As a huge Xbox fan it was so heartwarming to see you standing outside the Sony buildings with your Game Gear.

[@sanders4362]

That Sharp Twin Famicom was C H E A P. I am so jealous, I have wanted one for years!!!

[@abaque24]

I just bought a mint condition gameboy micro form japan- i’m not keen of traveling to japan, but sendico’s got me covered.

[@NinGamer01]

I love that Elliot tells us about console variants that we may have w never heard of before and random accessories to so we get even more knowledge on Nintendo stuff

[@cosmiclink661]

Really wanted that Mew DS when I was younger, but as I was still in my mid teens and didn’t have the luxury of disposable income like I do now, I never was able to get one. I wish I had got one though as always loved the subtle Mew silhouette by the speakers. I would have definitely snapped that up if I had found it.

[@VIRACYTV]

This video taught me that not all people say “urinal” the same.

[@jonvthvnlee]

I have scrolled for eons to finally stumble upon the comment I was looking for.

[@knucklesluigi4369]

Hi Mr retro future I started to watch you around two and a half years ago and I just want to thank you because now I have a most every Nintendo handheld which I have wanted to do when I first started watching you. I even started a retro gaming channel called dsgameboy because of you so thanks again.

[@KellyerX]

One thing I noticed during my trip there was the sheer amount of Yugioh games that were found in the hard off and hobby off stores. Everyone must’ve had Yugioh on the gameboy back in the day 😅

[@863mando]

Can’t wait to see what you got !!! That mew ds is awesome !

[@RoseT20]

Anyone know what the Sanrio game is at 11:52?

[@zeikjt]

8:10 Classic Densha de Go! Nobody expects train games.

[@Enoxix.]

Awesome you went to the Nintendo headquarters! I went there aswell when I was on vacation in Japan!

[@beekats]

i love that you talk about the history of the places you go to, it's so interesting!

[@josephzamer5802]

never tired myself to see Japan an weird console stuff...keep going dude

[@bendadswell17]

Your videos are so good. I love watching them. Keep up the good work. Thanks

[@sheppardpat47]

Sendico is perfect, thanks to sharing it to me, I bought a Poké-plush in Japan with them ! Super good and good pricing !

[@Phaedrafoxxo25]

God, I so badly want more money to buy more cool stuff like this

[@kadosho02]

Never know what you might find. From the history, architecture, nature, expression. To hidden treasures Love this series

[@papahat3449]

Keep it up man been here since the mod videos and hope you keep it up

[@daserfomalhaut9809]

I'll never forget when a friend and tutor of mine in college back in 2012 was on a trip to Japan. And out of nowhere, with no expectation or prior setup just randomly runs into Eiji Aonuma and takes a selfie with him. Complete freak, on in a million chance.

Thank you for your videos Eliott as always! The fact that you actually stay natural and true to yourself makes it much more pleasant to watch. Have fun in Japan, I'm going there next year Hopefully 😁

[@funnycatvidz839]

These videos are awesome, love your content and your trip to Japan so far! So much retro consoles/gamesQ

[@jeancrochets]

I'm really loving this series! I'm looking forward to the next part.

[@coollead3k]

Really funny watching you get closer and closer to my house. Kyoto has a lot of cheap game stores near the touristy area, but I haven't been recently.

[@thatsjustchrisc]

Love that you gave mini history lessons in this!! Always love hearing things I can actually apply to life

[@Devious_Reviews]

I really ought to shop through Sendico if prices are low as seen in most of your videos. The American market is chock full of scalpers who "know what they have". According to them, I'm sitting on a gold mine. If you're selling NDS game carts, take it easy, okay? An out-of-box copy of the _Metroid Prime Hunters_ demo is NOT worth $45.

[@Uselessceilingfan]

Great video! I don't actually know anything about Kyoto, so this at least taught me a few things!

[@axelsgf]

Best feeling ever finding the things you love I absolutely want to start collecting every Nintendo device

[@vrishankjuturu]

This is so cool! I wish that I could go to Japan and buy a ton of old consoles and make a huge collection.

[@GigaLem]

upon looking it up, the rockman blue sp was bundled with Battle Network 4 (known as Tournament Red Sun/Blue Moon in japan)

[@michaell8749]

Great views of Kyoto. Love the castles.

The rarest Nintendo thing ever: the Astroboy Gameboy giveaway, that never happened. Its so rare that it is actually a Nintendon't

[@AndreaLazzarotto]

I traveled to Japan in 2006 and got one of those Japanese e-reader devices. I also got a few Pokémon cards back then. Sadly, the e-reader did not work with European Pokémon games, so I only got to use one or two cards that included a standalone mini game. :( I still have the item though. :)

[@Ricar2002YT]

What an awesome vlog, so many cool locations and cool stuff at the hard offs

[@roflBeck]

This looked like such a fun trip! All sorts of retro hardware, too! Also the name Hard-Off makes me laugh.

[@curcapsicum]

[@leecroft1983]

Love these videos, so interesting to watch. If i was over there my number one gaming system i would be hunting for would be the Sega Saturn, my favourite system. The amount of treasure for that system in Japan is staggering.

[@GenSmashsed]

Man I'd love to go to every one of those hardoff shops and get my hands on some of those film cameras. It's definitely on my bucket list to go to japan and experience it first hand. The car culture there is something else.

Hey there! Just curious, what’s the song at 1:46? Absolutely love the vibe.

I hope that one day, someday in my life, I can visit Japan. It's so much a part of my interests as a child growing up, and as an adult I feel very inspired by it~

[@DreamDaddie]

I want to go to Japan just for the games. As soon as I can afford it I’ll go
