some very cool finds here! always love to see the gamecube keyboard controller, i never knew about the Super Gameboy 2, and seeing Spot goes to Hollywood for the saturn is such a trip lol, still can't get over how Cool Spot for the megadrive is such a sleeper hit of a platformer

[@pixxellie]

I love cool spot for mega drive/genesis!

[@SPac316]

I like Surugaya. I ordered many games from their website.

[@pixxellie]

Surugaya rules! This was a really time location with some cool niche titles

[@buckunowildo]

So mcuh cool cover art!! I've definitely been curious about Princess Maker. Very interesting life sim

[@chillwavve]

good finds jammy

[@pixxellie]

I try my best! 😄

[@Geekeric]

Incredible stores! More like video game museums. Love the video!

[@pixxellie]

Thanks for watching! I agree! Half the fun is just in looking at everything!

[@Flay-wx3om]

Great price for the super gameboy2

[@Squall20XXuk]

I saw a copy of Tane wo Maku Tori for Wonderswan, if you haven't got that, it's a great little game and the manual is a beautiful little storybook! Thanks for checking out the Wonderswan sections!

[@pixxellie]

I have been interested in that game but I know I don’t tend to stick with puzzlers for very long so I want to see if I can get it for a bit cheaper!

[@RetroMoments]

Great video of 2 of my favorite stores in Akihabara! I like that you showed more obscure games and so on! Definitely need to pick up Silhouette Mirage and Chou Anaki in the future!

[@pixxellie]

Thanks for watching! I’ve been into retro collecting for so long to be honest it’s only the really weird and obscure stuff that gets me interested these days!

[@SwannyTheMike]

I've heard that the Saturn version of Suikoden is the definitive version that added several scenes. I'd love to get myself a copy one of these days to see what's all different from the PS1 version.

[@pixxellie]

Oh that’s cool I didn’t know that!

[@nekhronica]

10:55 there was a SF Memory Cassette there! Wish you talked about it, hadn't seen one of those before in retro shops

[@pixxellie]

I didn't even notice it!!!

[@Leonidas8g]

Have a good weekend!

[@pixxellie]

you too! lol

[@nobodycares9579]

What's up with all of these cute retro game collectors popping up everywhere? Subbed!!!

[@fattiger6957]

Silent Mobius is also a great anime. A very cool mix of cyberpunk and sorcery. Like Bubblegum Crisis, it has a female ensemble cast, each with distinct skills and abilities and unrealistic, but cool names. Unfortunately, despite having a 26 episode series and 2 movies, there is no proper animated conclusion. The series ends on what feels like the promise of more, but there was never a second season. And the english translation of the manga is frustratingly difficult to find (I don't even know if that translation covers the entire manga)

[@pixxellie]

I actually have a random vintage issue of the manga and have been into the art for a long time! I need to check out the anime soon!

[@fattiger6957]

@@pixxellie Yeah, the art and general design is great. Very Blade Runner-ish, like most Japanese cyberpunk. The Japanese truly love that movie, probably more than anyone else.

[@Richbroth]

Beep and Surugaya are much more interesting than super potato or mandrake imo prices are just way too high. Everytime im in town i make sure to go beep/surugaya.

[@pixxellie]

I agree! I think super potato has become kind of a tourist trap unfortunately. Mandrake can have good stuff, but not the Akiba location (in my experience anyway).

[@kidrobot.]

ive always wanted a sega saturn. sadly it's so expensive now to start a new collection even with a few titles

[@pixxellie]

That’s not entirely true!!! You can get a lot of really great imports for $5, such as the virtua fighter series. Saturn is actually still one of the most affordable retro consoles! Sure there are expensive games, but there is a TON of quality in the $5-25 range, especially with first party sega stuff

[@kidrobot.]

@@pixxellie you may be entirely right. i apologize for my lack of knowledge on this system. looks like the games i want are the more rarer one's lol

[@pixxellie]

@@kidrobot. no need to apologize! We are all always learning about the hobby ☺️

[@user-tv5hl8zu9s]

I thank you for making this videos you are a beautiful kind person

[@pixxellie]

thank you! ^__^

[@franco3584]

Fun Video but I'd better stay away from these places , I'd go broke. 😂

[@pixxellie]

You can’t escape the collectors fate! Lol

[@DicePunk]

Ah geez Leynos 2 is soooo expensive...

[@pixxellie]

I didn’t think it was too bad! But maybe it’s gone up in recent times

[@DicePunk]

@pixxellie I haven't started my sega journey yet. Planning to do so next year. Hopefully the prices won't rise by much more.

[@pixxellie]

@@DicePunk Saturn has been pretty stable for a while, especially imports so I think you're good!

[@DicePunk]

@pixxellie that's good! There's a ton of saturn-exclusive guns and mecha games I want to get into. Especially the FPS ones. Thanks for the video!

[@pixxellie]

@@DicePunk If you're into mecha games theres also quite a few that support the mech twin stick controller from virtual on! I might do a video on those at some point.

[@teemukoskinen2647]

First. 😃
