Buying the RAREST GameBoys in Japan!

[@TheRetroFuture]

I really really really hope you enjoy this series. It’s the biggest project I’ve ever worked on by far and I’m really nervous about it! The audio and video was a bit rough for the first few days because I was too excited and overwhelmed to make sure everything was okay. Hopefully it will get better in the coming videos and you won’t mind too much! Also if there’s anything you want me to do different let me know now because I’ve not edited the other ones yet so I can adjust them to suit what people want! Love you all ❤

[@ialext6702]

Men you did great and i gotta say its one of the videos i have most enjoyed in your Channel. keep up the good work Edit: im not english so please have that in mind when reading this

[@kbramlett6877]

Elliot, I was beginning to wonder what happened to you. This explains it. Let me commend you on showing me the best and most thorough footage of Japan that I've seen. Because you actually took the time to film a lot of the "hole-in-the-wall" stores and show the massive amount of merchandise that these stores just blew me away. I was watching in total amazement and in complete awe the entire time. I felt like I was right there with you. I cannot wait for you to upload and publish Episode 2.

[@kentnoob]

So chuffed for you to be given such an amazing opportunity. Truly an excellent content creator and thrilled to see things going so great for you!

Gosh, it's so mesmerizing to see these stores stocked with so much cool stuff. Even though it's just a video, it makes me feel like a kid in a toy store again . Can't wait to see what you do next! ❤

This video was really great man, I love getting a deeper look into Japan's gaming culture, as I have never been there before.

[@Reallythinkaboutyourself]

Glad you actually got to see Tokyo like this. I did the same in 2013 and ended up playing street fighter in the arcade on the top floor of Super Potato smoking Marlboro reds. The best experience. Really can’t comprehend how lovely it is just wondering at night.

[@paulwignell9733]

I'm going to Japan for the first time myself at the end of July, and I plan on shopping around for retro gaming stuff as well so I can hardly describe how exciting this video is! Can't wait for the next episode!

But seriously looking forward to more in this series. I think this might be one of your best ones yet man!

To be honest I was a little worried about the lack of activity on your channel but this is definitely worth it. I love your content and I definitely look forward to the other episodes of this trip to Japan. Keep up the good content and congratulations to the whole team.

[@famousspear15]

I am so very excited for this series! I thought the video was great! It's nice to see Japan from the perspective of a GameBoy fan, there aren't any videos like that on KZbin. Love it!

[@Crankyc0wz]

This was so fun to watch, can't wait for episode 2!

[@KittyKittyPeowPeow]

Congrats Elliot, looking forward to this series. Honestly, some of the prices looked really good at the shops.

[@NonkelGans]

Thanx for the tip on Hard Off, I hadn't heard of this store yet. Seems like they also have quite some old camera related stuff. I'm leaving for a trip to Japan in about 2 weeks and seeing you going through the "junk boxes" really makes me check out this store. Love your channel, greetings from Belgium.

[@srooij]

FANTASTIC work mate! So excited to see the rest of the series! I hope you had an awesome time.

[@McTAnGuS]

Brilliant start to a series mate. Gave me proper Lost in translation vibes with the music towards the end exploring the small streets.

[@zincmann]

This is awesome stuff. For those who havent been able to go to Japan and discover all the goodies in the stores its great to see all of this. Thanks Elliott

Loving it! looking forward to the complete series. Also this is getting me very hyped I will be going to Japan this summer. :D

[@westonblock7097]

Me too!!! This series is gonna be my training guide 😂

[@cameralabs]

Great work Elliot, really enjoying these and vicariously experiencing your joy at visiting these places for the first time. There's nowhere else like Japan and it's great you're getting to see so much of it. On a personal note, I'm reassured in a way you didn't find much in hard Off in Akihabara, as I thought I'd just been unlucky when I visited. I'd heard so many good things about it, but the two branches I visited there didn't have much for me, but good to hear you had better luck in some other regions!

[@TheRetroFuture]

Thanks mate!!

[@becca_94]

Elliot, loving this series! Your videos are always so high quality, the editing is fantastic Great job! Absolutely amazing being part of your journey! I can't wait until you hit 1M, so deserved!

[@Rosa_Canina]

Man, I miss shops like these. In my hometown there once was a retro game shop, but in the town I live now they even closed the GameStop. So nothing retro AT ALL here. Went on holiday the other day into a veeery big town. Internet said it had 3 Retro Games shops. One was for VERY RICH people looking for sealed stuff. One was a complete bust and the other one was in the middle of restructuring... at least they got good prices on the stuff that was actually there. This makes me want to go to japan. Just that damn language barrier....

[@esotericsean]

Brilliant series, this is my dream! Hopefully I get to do this someday. In the meantime, we'll all be living vicariously through your vlog series. Cheers!

[@veryscaredbunny]

It's so cool that so many people walks and drive backwards there! Great job on the video!

[@420boxysama]

2:39 You crazy Brit😮 I do not recall any karaoke, that thing was used for the microphone attachment for "hey, you Pikachu" Back on the N64 I don't recall any karaoke game coming from Nintendo in that era at least

Hey man! I absolutely loved the format of this video! I am traveling to Japan in two weeks with my brother and I am so excited to go game hunting. I have Cerebral Palsy (stairs are an issue while traveling with a wheelchair) thankfully, my brother will be helping me with getting around. However, it looked like the places you visited may have been pretty accessible! Made me really excited for my dream trip! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

[@brockachoo]

Wow Elliot! The footage you took was beautiful and breath taking. The backwards footage looked sick! I can't wait to watch more of these. The idea of go pro for rummaging was a terrific idea. All that lovely stuff to look through, must admit I feel a little envy. I hope you had and amazing time mate

This may be my most ideal series ever made. When I lived in Tokyo I used to go to Akihabara once or twice a week on my bike looking for cool stuff. Actually found minuet Tetris in Super Potato hidden with all the normal ones for 500yen after watching your video on it!

[@unknownpatata]

Thank you! I watch other youtubers that go to hard offs and book offs in Japan and they've done it so many times they don't take the time to show all the stuff like you have. I could watch all your footage. Please put up 4 hour video of you rummaging through the junk section!

[@Ones2watch]

This is amazing ! A month ago i bought a gba with box for around €40 and a sp with 2 great games for €52 using sendico for the first time. The gba and box are in perfect condition and they go for around €200 in the Netherlands where I'm from. ( With bad conditions boxes. ) Im never gonna sell this gba and will leave it in its original state. Thank you for making these amazing videos and introducing me to sendico. Also thank you sendico for the amazing service. I hope they'll support with you for a long time because you deserve to do all these amazing things.

Great video dude, enjoyed it from start to finish! Takes me back to my first trip to Japan, it's a beautiful country and the sensory overload in Tokyo is always mind blowing! I liked the tipsy part a lot, felt like I was chilling with you, maybe have an outtakes vid for stuff that didn't make the final cut? Also the Go Pro stuff was quality, keep it up and am looking forward to the other parts in this series ❤

Elliot. I knew the channel was going to make a drastic change... And I was worried it was going to pivot to Mr Beast stuff. You totally went in a direction that has me super excited. I follow other KZbinrs in Japan, tokidoki traveller etc. But the idea of following a gaming specific one really speaks to me. Can't wait for more.
