SURUGAYA in SHINJUKU Retro Game Run

[@utikt]

Love how you put a mini video next to the game your talking about. It's a great touch that's much appreciated since most of these games didn't come to the west and will probably never see.

[@RyuHayabusa06]

Looks like heaven. I could spend hours in there just browsing. If I could just win the lottery....

[@diamanteloco]

I could spend a solid month or two just walking around all the different shops and arcades in Japan...and that's without taking in anything of culture (outside of nerd stuff). My initial goal was to visit Japan before I was 40...not gonna happen, but if the world isn't complete crap, 45 is a real possibility :)

[@RetroMoments]

Fantastic store! I've never played that X-Men game on the SNES. And SNES/SFC is pretty much my favorite system. I'll do my homework and check it out then.

[@RetroMoments]

@Falcom Scott Absolutely, man!

[@MilkWasABadChoice17]

I was actually staying in Shinjuku when I went to Tokyo last year and that Surugaya was awesome. Spent A LOT of money while I was there, well worth it. I certainly found deals elsewhere but got stuff I couldn't find elsewhere there. Glad I can see this and relive my experience. Thanks Jim.

[@thriftdweller]

I've been watching your videos since i've come back to youtube, very good stuff man! Seriously, everything's been enjoyable to watch.

[@RodanChi]

Nice choice for background music and your volume mixing is perfect!

[@BeAsT1x5]

The music selection is a 100/10 for me.. OH SNAP SURUGAYA!! WE WENT THERE!!!

[@marcelanoryadi9110]

Your chanel is such a breath of fresh air every chanel i turn is either corona virus, U.S politics, U.S riots , fires, etc Never change bro... never change 🙏 👍

[@jm77_josemanuel]

Love these walks. Dreamcast forever.

[@ryoma0045]

Great video dude, I enjoyed it with my morning coffee too! I missed out on here on our travels, but looking at the selection and quality of games was probably a good thing for my bank balance.

[@chocolocojames213]

Great video Jim. So nostalgic for me 😊😊😊

[@YarsRevenge]

Thanks for the slow pans with the games in the glass case. It's always really interesting to see what the really rare stuff goes for.

[@optimusp517]

❤

[@dariusq8894]

If things had gone as planned this year I would have been in Tokyo right now for TGS2020. Or Makuhari Messe, I guess. Thanks for keeping the dream alive Jim. =)

[@razorgem555to666]

HEY, JIM HERE

[@G-y_m]

Yes?

[@Evercade_Effect]

Very cool store. I wish Friends allowed filming. Would love to see you visit that Retro Video Game store.

[@schmidsgamebox5883]

I love such big 2nd hand gameshops 😍

[@clarku4]

So this is heaven. I dream of having access to a store with so many retro games.

[@retroremy]

Probably one of the best shops there. Great selection and consistent stock.

[@forcedfeedbackclassicgamer5499]

These videos always make me crazy jealous.

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Great choice with the Stardust Speedway Zone 1 in the beginning Jim. One of these days we need to see you driving with a dashcam or with a buddy driving and take video footage of the Tokyo highway with this theme and with Stardust Speedway Zone Act 2 as well. 8^) Anthony.

[@Jorzha]

I got Tron Bonne when i went to Japan in 2019. Great game

[@expsharevideogames]

So many wonderful games! I may have to look into the possibility of getting some of these cool Japanese consoles from you...

[@JapanGeek]

Sometimes this Surugaya has better items than Akihabara. I always go there one of my favorite shop

[@edvmth]

Thanks for the vídeo Jim

[@RetroToonsOfficial]

Your Content Are Awesome i Mean I like It

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Jim its good to see you doing another game hunt it has been a while. I have not been to Shinjuku in a long time didn't know there was one over there thanks I must check it out some time. Ive found that surugaya is has some of the best prices in Tokyo out of the big chain game stores what do you think?

[@iangarrett3308]

Got a Sega Saturn system and alot of Japanese imported games to go with it!! I got most of the Capcom games, X-men, X-me vs Street Fighter, Cyberbots, Street Fighter Alpha. And yes I got Macross: Do you remember Love? shooter game. Too bad it the Saturn was not successful in the United States, there were so many good games!!

[@atomiswave1971]

I think this is my first stop in September. Get off plane, go to aki Hotel, catch train to shinjuku, suragaya. I assume prices are better at suragaya/shinjuku than Aki? Then a coffee at the crossing 3 stops away. Will be a nice entree to my stay there.

[@GiappoGamer]

Great Surugaya it’s my preferite retro shop in Tokyo...well with Super Potato 😅😃👍

[@shinjid3705]

for ppl who cant read japanese, u can always pickup fighting, beatemups and platformers because u dont really have to know japanese to play these. And many have english menus anyway

[@ErykDragonheart]

28:46 Samurai pizza cats!!

[@worldofretrogameplay6963]

I’m really interested in subscribing to this channel’s game box service. With that said, I have a few questions for the Patreon members who buy the bi-monthly game box: *What’s the wait/shipping time like?* *Do the games arrive in good, physical condition?* *This is basically the second question again, but how well is the box packaged?* *Have you been satisfied with the games you have received so far?* Thanks in advance to whoever responds!

[@SarahLJP]

9:10 I managed to pick up 最後の 忍道 for ¥7,000 on YA JP through Zen Market recently. It in pretty good condition. The case front is scratched up quite a bit but that’s ok. That copy looks like it's in better condition. Which is why it's going for more.

[@galacticfederationambassad4063]

Have you ever been to the five story animate building? I think it’s in Tokyo but. I was a kid when I went there and only once

[@frenchy79]

thanks for the video! I wish you had spent more time on the consoles though.

[@rulif2092]

Impressive! would be nice to buy some games from japan too.

[@TubeWave]

Hey Jim, big fan of the channel. Are the games you buy for your Patrons complete in box? Or is it random?

[@michaelcreech1804]

I’m always buying Neo Geo MVS games from Surugaya online. Do you come across those games much while in Surugaya? I would love to see some of those games in your videos. (Still currently watching this video.)

[@SarahLJP]

20:49 I see a copy of 武者アレスタ. I bid on one on YA JP but lost.

[@ExpensiveForeigner]

I can actually hear my wallet crying whenever I look at the stuff in the glass case - gotta wonder why those Lemmings games are so pricey though

[@KaiReeinJapan]

Sugoi! keep safe ☺️

[@kevintran6346]

Hey Jim, any way I could get an ID on this music? So good.

[@Yeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeah]

Yeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeah 😎👍🙏

[@togakure9]

Hey Jim. Just for curiosity. Wich store has the best variety and prices?? Surugaya, sup potato or hardoff?

[@hudsonball4702]

what game was that at 10:58? The one with the busty women?

[@Bloodreign1]

Would love to see a collector market crash, to help bring down prices on those games in the glass cases back to sane prices for those of us who collect, but don't have endless pockets of cash. Because a lot of those games in glass cases there, and in retro game shops in the US, are not rare in the least bit, just stupidly overpriced. At least the 2 boxed Goemon SFC games there are actually nicely priced in this video, though likely common as dirt.

[@claygraphics1]

The Japanese box art absolutely trumps the western variants (98.7% of the time).

[@Jadson8711]

Hello Jim, how are You? As you live in Tokyo, would you like to show us Tetsuo Kurata’s restaurant? The actor of The Black Kamen Rider and Black RX series. The name of restaurant is: steakhaouse Billy The kid. Thank you.

[@SarahLJP]

3:57 I looked up 火竜娘. It looks pretty bad. The video I found considers it クソゲー.

[@rufnek3124]

try finding these prices on Ebay, you won't

[@daxxhex8546]

Some game's are based on japanese animation like that Game was i played in back in 1992 crazy school kid run into a lot of trouble in the end he get stick in the stone age

[@avivmizrachi4382]

Had to stop video and look up gundam perfect one year war( super gundam fan) but sorry Jim, not fighting game, I wish... another rpg. Slow, dialog heavy, strategy heavy... not for me. Who can reply to this with some really great gundam games, NOT RPG.
