Metal Jesus in JAPAN - Game Hunting in Osaka, Kyoto & Tokyo (Part2)

[@gamosama]

I am going to say it again, you really make good travel vlogs. I really enjoyed watching both parts

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I really, really enjoy making them. Wish I could do more!

[@ishbon9807]

Agreeee!!

[@charliethecherry28]

I totally agree with you. MetalJesus have a unique way of vlogging unlike other KZbinrs who just speaks in the screen which is pretty hard to watch honestly. It gets pretty shaky when they walk but props to MetalJesus for making it simple yet entertaining to watch at the same time. Love your content by the way.

[@campkira]

@@MetalJesusRocks I just went to Osaka... Are you stalking me? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqKTao1sl7mJbqs

[@_neuco]

Agreed!

[@attk177]

You should visit way more places, I love your travel videos

[@danieljohn9257]

Hell yeah, like visit CDPR studios, including a couple interviews and tours of course, and then also they could tour old European castles and whatnot! If I visited CDPR, I would have The Witcher on the brain just as much as Cyberpunk! MetalJesus could get some kind of mementos from both, I'm sure. Plus all the amazing mountains, villages, castles, cathedrals. Would be a bit of walking and some hiking involved, but well worth it. Especially if you go when the weather is pretty nice.

[@attk177]

@Ironclaw XII Well obviously I meant that. Im not interested in MetalJesus hanging out on the beach all day, I want him hunting down cities for their videogames and then also show a little culture. Just like he did here

As everything I loved about this video, especially how humble you all were, my favorite moment was when the students ask if they can talk so they can practice their English. I find that amazing and sweet

Man, as a game collector living in Osaka, I must say, you REALLY nailed all the best spots! Props to whoever put that itinerary together. Also so cool that you met Matt, great guy! 🤘

The store he went to was actually just below Surugaya, and the store that he was in was actually called Super Potato in Nipponbashi. Absolutely fantastic location for Retro! Hope this helps!

I live in Kirkland near Seattle. And I travel to Japan annually. To save money on a flight take China Air. It is about half the price of other major airliners. A round trip to Kyushu Nagasaki is about $660 compared to JAL $1350 usually. Also, exchange money here in USA instead of in Japan to get more Yen 💱💹for your dollar. Also,a Hostel is even cheaper than AirBnB. Also take 2 big suitcases w you and only fill one of them. Then fill the other with souvenirs. Hope this helped.

[@BuzzinsPetRock78]

Or buy a cheap one there....we did, every time we went....Although it does mean you end up with lots of cheap suitcases to 'give away' ;) 5000 yen will get you a man size suitcase....just shop around

Decided to come back and watch your videos. I remember spending hours watching your buyers guide on a certain console before going to my local game store and buying it and all the recommended games. Glad to see you are still posting. I tried catching you at game on expo in 2017 in AZ. I hope I can catch you this year. I need to finish off my signed copy of 720 for the NES.

This video was super informative and makes me miss those days at Super Potato when they had oodles of Wonderswan and Virtual Boy games. I live in Taiwan now, so it's a hop over.
