This Could Be My Favorite HARD OFF ever... │ RETRO GAME HUNTING in HARD OFF │ Kanie, Japan

[@gettin_lit6594]

I could go broke at that store....

[@RetroMoments]

Yea, man! It was hard to retain myself from buying a lot of stuff 😅

[@GdhsVsbs]

I am abouta go broke this summer lol

[@neo_ness]

I can't wait to take my trip to Japan one day. I'm definitely going to add Hard Off to the list of places to visit. Great video!

[@RetroMoments]

Yea man! You definitely need to visit Japan in near future! HARD OFF stores are the most fun to hunt in. So definitely go to as many as you can :D Thanks Ness!

[@kpopmojo]

I'd love to see any videos from your travels both to and from game stores (including any food stops!). Keep up the amazing content. I look forward to your next video!

[@RetroMoments]

Thank you for answering my question I put out in the video! I will definitely try to film more of daily stuff in Japan before the game hunting begins. I appreciate you watching my content!

[@Attard73]

This video came up in my recommended today, and I’m so grateful to the algorithm. I’m blown away by this store - there’s nothing like it where I live in Australia. Keep it up I love your vibe 🤤

[@RetroMoments]

Awesome! Glad the algorithm works 😃 Oh yea! Retro is still alive in the stores here in Japan! Thank you for watching! More to come this weekend!

[@dakotachambers6824]

I really like your style of filming your game hunt. Describing what you see and the price conversion is very helpful and informative. I also like getting to see your walk to the store and the surrounding area. It's a very immersive experience which I've been looking for as far as video game hunting in Japan.

[@RetroMoments]

Oh wow! Thank you so much! Really appreciate you telling me all this, as I put quite some time into the editing. Even if it doesnt always show so easily! I will definitely continue this style and film more of the surroundings before entering the store in the coming videos! Thank you once again!

Ey its itadaki hokkaido! Nice to see you back in the comments :D Glad to hear you like watching daily life in Japan that leads up to the store. I will try to do more that for the next videos then! Thank you!

21:50 I love such small bins, you never know what you can find in them

[@RetroMoments]

The thrill of the hunt! Love it!

[@ButtholioTheGreat]

I just came back from that exact same store last week, and the stuff on the shelves is was completely different. Wild to think that there is so much retro gaming stuff in circulation in Japan.

[@RetroMoments]

Oh really!? I really didnt think so. Thats wild, man! Did you see anything new and cool in the showcase? Any interesting hardware?

[@ButtholioTheGreat]

@@RetroMoments yeah, i was hoping to get that gold PS2, PSX, and maybe a Wii U but they were all gone. Not too much that caught my eye, but there was a new in box DMG and a really nice Sharp Twin Famicom in black.

Oh man that Hard Off music! Flashbacks haha. I miss Hard-Off and Book-Off. They are my two favorite stores in Japan.

[@RetroMoments]

Gotta love that music haha! :D Oh yea, its always an adventure going to these stores. I just posted another new video visiting 2 BOOK OFFs if you wanna check it out! Thanks for watching!

[@Tanukieats]

Oh you're back! ... THE PRICES, jesus. Im going to Nagoya next time. GOOD VIDEO!

[@RetroMoments]

Haha thanks man! Yeah, this HARD OFF really surprised me. More games than the last time I was here in 2019/2020 :D

[@Charlie-Cat.]

I always felt bad for the games in the junk section adam. I mean they look like they just throw then in a large container and just left there without any care in the word. Despite that the junk section is the most amazing place to search into because you never know what to expect. Some are great finds, some are just average, but the mystery inside the bends are what makes it all tempting to observe inside to find the unexpected. 8^) Thank you for sharing this with us brother man. 8^) Anthony..

[@RetroMoments]

Yea, the unexpectancy of the Junk section is always a fun time. Even better when you find something you've been looking for that you can get for a bargain, then clean and use at home. Its a great feeling! Thank you for watching Anthony! Appriciated as always!

[@ReFreshz1]

Man learning Japanese language would be awesome so many games in Really good condition plus all the Japanese exclusives

[@RetroMoments]

A great idea! As soon as I get some time off, I'm definitely learning more Japanese.

[@antongrnning3554]

Great video! Nice of you to go through the hard off section in detail! (Did I hear a swedish accent there?)😁 Will travel to Japan in a few months and my first stop will be Nagoya and will check out their Hard off's there!

Thank you Anton 😃🙏 Glad you enjoyed it. Jajemen, jag är svensk! Awesome! Great idea to go here since most people go to Tokyo for shopping still. Good luck!

Kickar igenom din content gällande n64 och snes. Hoppas på att hitta några bra deals snes eller n64. Har du några tips vart jag bör leta? Är det book off/ hard off fortfarande som gäller?😊

Nice pickups! I’d actually never heard of kid Dracula and appreciate the recommendation 😊　Always good to see you doing your thing and I look forward to the next one ✌️✌️

Awesome! Thanks man! Glad to see you here. New videos in the works. You should definitely check out Kid Dracula. Its worth playing through at least once!

[@atloos]

I miss my time in japan, this summer was my first time visiting as I want to move to japan pretty much in the next 5 years. I visited hard offs and super bazaars for a whole day, found so many hidden gems. Bought myself a 3ds ll and a first gen switch both for modding for less than 80 bucks together. Cant wait to come back to japan before moving for a few weeks again

[@aampublic9182]

8:47 nice DC if cib and clean

[@RetroMoments]

It was CIB and clean. Pretty good price, yes. I have seen it a little bit cheaper though!

[@jtdx_]

Incredible selection of boxed SFC. I gotta hit up this location for sure

[@RetroMoments]

Yea! One of the best Hard Off stores Ive ever been to! Its worth it! They get new stuff all the time!

[@japanesecowboys]

Dang Nagoya has the best stuff, such an underrated area, I’m thinking of moving to Gifu area just cause it’s so underrated, and food would be great cause I also try to hit as many food joints on my hunts too lol

[@RetroMoments]

Yep, less tourists here in Nagoya! So definitely easier to find better stuff! Oh cool! Gifu has a lot of cool stores as well. Especially Ojamakan! Nice haha! Food in Japan is always top-notch!

[@aampublic9182]

6:35 this psone combo suddenly went thru the roof, it didn't even gradually hike like most of other stuff

[@muajin]

That pc-engine shuttle!!!! I did buy one about 22yrs back, brought it to korea but forgot it when i moved out of my apt *it was in a closet* came back and it was gone. T.T I really need to get another...108$ is a great price. Its VERY hard to find a boxed one now.

[@RetroMoments]

Haha yea I love the look of the PC Engine Shuttle! Definitely tempted to buy it :D Oh no, man! What a sad story. Yea I agree. The price was good. Maybe I will go back and get it. Still thinking about it. Thanks for watching!

Hi Adam 😊 im number 50 like ❤ i will watch after i walk my Wolf we have SNOW, soon you will be getting more snow in sweden im shipping it your way the storm ❄️ ttul :) excited to see what you grabbed 😊

[@im_cart8656]

reminds me of old Luke Morse's videos always enjoyed his hard off adventures... man that must of been over 10 years ago when i watched those

[@RetroMoments]

Thats a great compliment! Thank you. Im definitely inspired by Luke Morse as I used to watch his old Hard Off videos as well, back in the days...

[@aampublic9182]

12:51 gorgeous gorgeous box

[@RetroMoments]

Agreed!

[@Evercade_Effect]

I love Kid Dracula on the Castlevania Collection on the PS4 and it's translated as well. I need to jump back in and finish it. I like that it feels like a spoof of the Castlevania games and it so much fun. Einhander is great, played that on PS1 as I love shooters and need to revisit that game and very cool you found a physical copy for both that games at a great price. I really like the artwork for Famicom is great and so much better than the US carts in my opinion. I was surprised to see a Neo Geo CD copy of Metal Slug for such a high price. It's a great game but don't hate me for saying this but for me Contra is the king of run and gun games. 😋 It's always great to see the retro game stores in different countries that you go to. If you run into Scruffy Looking RGB, tell him that Ed from the Evercade Effect says hi. 😉

[@RetroMoments]

Oh thats awesome. But I believe there's not that much text in it at least. Yea I never finished it either. Gotta do that as well! I've heard a lot about Einhänder but tried it out the first time ever a few days ago. Just as good as I imagined. Loved it! Yea Im satisfied with the pickups, but there were so much more I couldve bought. But I can always go back! Yea, that Metal Slug looked pretty much mint. And when games are like brand new, Japanese stores love to put the prices higher. Honestly, I'm a bit more of a Contra person as well I think haha! But MS games are incredible too. Glad you liked it, man! I will definitely say hi from you to Scruffy whenever I meet him :D

[@Evercade_Effect]

@@RetroMoments 😀

[@bjornh1527]

You made two excellent purchases here with Einhänder and Kid Dracula! I can easily see why this is your favourite Hard Off, lots of amazing hardware to drool over too… I would have picked up that Saturn multi-tap, I´m on the lookout for one to play Noon with 4 people!

[@RetroMoments]

Thank you Björn! Glad you think so :D Yea, each time I get back to this one, its filled with amazing hardware. Oh cool. I have to check out Noon. Never heard about that title...

[@bjornh1527]

Ja, Noon är inte ett spel folk brukar leta efter, men jag tycker att det är ganska coolt. Men den riktiga potentialen ligger nog i att spela 3-4 personer. Rätt anarkistisk version av att matcha färger när alla springer runt och förstör för varandra samtidigt.

[@_Username__]

This half hour better be worth my time, let's go ...

[@RetroMoments]

It is haha!

[@retroremy]

That is a fantastic location brother. I would have bought all of the GBA/SP/Micro, Famicom JR., PC Engine Shuttle, and PSX which I could have fixed it easily. My wallet is saved but man I was pointing and shouting at the screen Great hunt!

[@RetroMoments]

Oh yea, it really is man! I knoooow haha! I was walking away from the store thinking about how many more consoles and games I shouldve bought. But Im going to more stores so I feel like I dont want to spend it all on first one, you know. But Im glad you were entertained behind the screen haha :D Thanks!

[@segagirladventurespico]

Thank you for the Shoutout 😊❤ yes Vib ribbon I love that game I grabbed it from Japan before cov hit and I actually paid around that price on ebay, so it’s probably higher now on ebay if it’s selling around that price, I paid Canadian dollars. But there is a Vib Ribbon ps2 I would love and mr mosquito lol 😊😂 Never seen Sega Mark 2😮 6:38 is that the price ps1 with screen? Always wanted the screen 😊 space pc engine is cool. Japan Kirby air beat to grab there and kid Dracula I could never get it on ebay from Canada definitely one to grab also for gameboy price is great there that’s around $20 cad. Loving the video the quality so good so clear compared to mine lol aha I edit on broken cell phone. 14:45 has ENGLISH and only released in Japan wow I want it also curious about clock tower so cheap there!! 18:17 looks like your holding a cake lol 🍰ADAM NO PS VITA????!!!😂😅😊 great video great pick ups and no gold ps2 eh!?

[@RetroMoments]

Haha youre welcome :D Gotta give credit where credit is due. Oh nice! So the price in HARD OFF was good ehh. Yes, Mr Mosquito is a must have game! And SEGA Mark consoles are hard to come by, even in Japan I would say. Yes! Ive always wanted the official Sony screen for PSone as well. Its so neat :D Yep, good stuff! And thank you. I always try to improve the quality of the videos all the time haha! It felt like a heavy big cake lol PSvita another time and Im still thinking of that gold PS2. So cool!!

[@segagirladventurespico]

@RetroMoments Maybe you will see anyother ps1 screen and a golden ps2 if so will you grab it if the price is good :) cant wait for the next video :)

[@RetroMoments]

Haha we can always hope! Next video is in the works :D

[@vix_in_japan]

Oh yeah, I went to this on back in December. The older guys who work there are really nice. Always helpful. You'll laugh but I bought Nichibutsu Super Mahjong from here, but I like mahjong (someone has to) and it was very cheap boxed for the SFC...

[@RetroMoments]

Cool! Yea, very friends staff in this one, I have to agree with that. Haha nice. Well, its not my thing personally, but its cool to hear about other people enjoying it :D Thanks for checking out the video, Vix!

[@muajin]

I remember going to a HUGE hardoff in shizuoka about 11-12 yrs back. They had a ton of old systems, even a bunch of old famicom disk systems. Shoot myself in the arse for not picking one up.

[@RetroMoments]

Haha yea! I saw way more games and system just right before the pandemic for way better prices. Still I was thinking "I can always pick it up later..." Oh I was wrong...

[@_Username__]

22:36 notice how PS1 game spines differ from each other

[@RetroMoments]

That is true. It kinda bugs me to be honest. I want them all to have a similar theme or look the same. They should be connected somehow!

[@BanditsBest686]

damn that gold ps2 for $70 some was ultra deal bro, no nuts you shouldve gotten it i wouldve. As well as a much of those $1 games, luckly they dont have neck beards out in japan yet to drive up the prices of retro games reselling them. I know if they had a junk area like that here resellers would clean out those bins to resell those $1-2 games for $10-20 each no joke im not kidding.

[@RetroMoments]

Yeah dude! If there was one thing I was thinking about going away from that store, it was the gold PS2! I didnt even know it existed. So cool! Oh yea I know. Thats true. And to be honest, there are definitely less resellers in Japan. But I have seen an increasing number of Japanese resellers this year and last year. Before that, I only saw business men buying a nice item for themselves after work.

[@aampublic9182]

if this 7:25 gold ps2 is boxed then it's a steal, and if it's not it would be still a not very bad deal

@@RetroMoments Honestly I would not expect that, since most of these are "retro" Japanese released games intended for Japanese market.

[@RetroMoments]

@@lordbacon4972 Well, its very mixed. For example during the Famicom days, they would put English in the menus to save time and space in the development. And if we jump to the PS2 era, they would hire voice actors, which again, was cheaper to just make it in English for everybody and the Japanese releases has English subs.

[@aampublic9182]

5:11 MGS 2 for 66000 ??? what's wrong with this people ? this is not even a touristy place, even super potato won't charge this much for this game hahahahaha

[@tidalus]

Crazy price indeed, though it's not the normal version but a a limited variant cover version given to Konami shareholders. The fact that it's factory sealed probably helped the price skyrocket.

Correct @tidalus! Limited edition and factory sealed. How many of those can you really find these days? Not many! Condition is always a huge part for stores in Japan when it comes to pricing!

Foreigners messing with japanese stuff making pricing go up for resellers................all this for 2-3 views.

[@Yohann26]

by messing you mean "loving and preserving" ? I mean come one the guy made 100 views you think this horde of foreigners will all go to japan and buy everything ?

[@NinjaChris77]

@@Yohann26 Sadly yes, ... and im not blaming him btw, i love watching these videos! But you cant ignore the fact that greedy westeners are already flooding ebay and local retro game stores with japanese consoles and games! I been in the scene for quite over 10 year now and i never seen this many japanese retrogames being sold in my country from normal ppl on the internet. For example, ppl been selling japanese Pokemon games complete in box for HUNDREDS here, even though we all know they are maybe like 10, 15, 30 bucks at most in a hard off, lol. Junk Gameboys, Junk DS consoles, ... seen it all here being fliped for dumb high prices compared to hard off prices! The carziest thing i have seen so far is a japanese Mario 64 in box being sold for 800usd in a local gamesstore with the hardoff price tag still on it, HAHA!! 600yen it was originally and it was a generic ass Mario 64 that you find tons of in Japan still.

[@xTHETRAINx]

this shit is so true but it's too late now, way too many videos and resellers now hoping to make a measly 500yen markup

[@RetroMoments]

@NinjaChris77 Yea you got some valid points here. And theres also a difference between a collector and a reseller. I bought 2 games from this store and not everything that was a good deal to flip. But I understand reseller will see this and go there... but like @xTHETRAINx said, its too late now. So many HARD OFF videos floating around on KZbin. And bigger youtubers promoting for Sendico "Hey, buy these Japanese games, theyre cheap!" Also. Akihabara and Game stores in Japan has been a tourist attraction for many years. Long before KZbin even was a thing.
