Welcome to the Next Level! │ SEGA Mega Drive Hunting 2023 │ RETRO GAME HUNTING in JAPAN

Time to visit Osu, Akamon in Nagoya for some SEGA Mega Drive hunting in Japan!
We visit stores like Super Potato, Surugaya, Lashing Bang & Meikoya for the most interesting MD Mega Drive / Japanese Genesis games. What can be found? Which are the rarest and most expensive games in the stores here? Which games are cheaper? Any hidden gems? And is it worth collecting for in 2023?
Enjoy the hunt!

Whats your favorite Japanese Exclusive MEGA DRIVE Game?

[@nesfrk]

Hm, Japan only, must be Twinkle Tale!

[@jonnyr6092]

I'm thinking.... Monster World IV.

[@MVA74]

Mamono hunter hyoko

[@chriswilliamson1978]

Twinkle tale🔥

[@RetroMoments]

@@FalcomScott Bare Knuckle :D Great choice. Which is your favorite one, 1 2 or 3?

[@Evercade_Effect]

I love the art of Japanese MD games. I really enjoyed this hunt.

[@RetroMoments]

Me too! Could be the system with most amazing cover arts ever. Thanks man! Glad you liked watching it 😃

[@KaskelotenZebbe]

Nice video! It sure looks tidy and calm around there. I really need to go to Japan soon, before all arcades and retro games are gone...

[@RetroMoments]

Thanks Zebbe! Oh it totally is, I can assure you that. Love the atmosphere. Sounds like a plan!

[@peterforisky2152]

Terminator vs robocop has never had a new release, it was the PAL release also the same with a few others with black spines.

[@RetroMoments]

You're right, Peter! It is the PAL version on that. As well as Alien 3 there. I noticed that right before uploading the video. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@coffee84]

Almost right in time for the 35th anniversary of the japanese Mega Drive which is in October ❤️

[@RetroMoments]

Haha thats true! 😃 I just couldnt wait to release this anymore! Enjoy! 😃👌

[@whitepuf75]

You promised a video tour for the megadrive in Nagoya stores and boy you delivered! Thank you very much. Can I ask if you have choosen your gaming console for the next video? Can it be possible to get the same megadrive video around x-mas?

[@RetroMoments]

Haha I sure did, and here it is :D Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Actually this was the last console based video for now. The coming videos are more about odd stores, hard offs and even Akihabara stores. Some great videos will come, I can promise that! A Mega Drive video around x-mas in winter could come. Just not sure if I will be in Japan by then. We will see. But I will save that thought in the back of my mind. Thanks for watching as always :D

[@creativityandlove8456]

Great job amazing games

[@RetroMoments]

Thanks! Glad you liked the video!

[@nesfrk]

Man what a big stock super potato had! Glad I got some of the now, expensive ones, already! But some good reminders of what I should try to get hold of soon ^^

[@RetroMoments]

Haha yea, soon they will have most of the retro games in Japan since HARD OFF, BOOK OFF and many other stores have less games, as times goes by. Yea I feel the same. But this might be the last chance to get Japanese Mega Drive games now. I predict that they will be very rare in the coming years.

[@SpikeSetsFire]

Another awesome video, Adam! And your timing is perfect. I'm really starting to get into the Mega Drive these days. It's interesting to see what's available and how much it is. Fatman looks fun! Hahaha!

[@RetroMoments]

Thank you, Mark :D Glad to hear that haha! However, the timing for buying MD games now is tough. Prices going up and its way harder to find these games compared to SFC. But Im glad you're diving into it. A lot of gems for the system that shouldn't go unnoticed. And Fatman looks like a game you need in your collection haha :D

[@segagirladventurespico]

I love when stores don’t update there prices 😊 there’s a retro store I go to that they haven’t updated there older games that been on the walls forever that’s the best.

[@RetroMoments]

Haha oh yea, its a great feeling. Being ahead of the store :D Oh which one? Do we get to see a video? :D

[@segagirladventurespico]

@RetroMoments its on my upcoming video, but the wall games are only ds, ps2 xbox lol lol psp cheaper games under 19 canadian.... Snes, of course, is behind the glass, lol.. you should start saving up to come to canada, and i will show you around. lol :😜

[@gettin_lit6594]

Awesome stuff .. 👍👍

[@RetroMoments]

Always first huh!? 😃 Thanks man! Glad to see you here!

[@RetroConsolas_]

Great video, you have held in your hands for a small moment Aleste CD in the first shop and have passed the fantastic Magical Hat no Buttobi Turbo! Daibouken (the original game where was based the conversion Decap Attack). You are right, there are some beatiful covers like Golden Axe o Rolling Thunder 2

[@RetroMoments]

Yea I noticed the Aleste CD when watching my content. Im still exploring MD, especially the Japanese library. So glad you pointed these games out. Ah Rolling Thunder was the name. Ive played it once. Cool game!

[@4amLaundry]

Great video! I'm not really into the Megadrive like that so cool to see!

[@RetroMoments]

Thanks man! Thats cool. I've been way more into SFC as well so I get it. Im still exploring here a bit as well :D

[@segagirladventurespico]

34:49 lots of great Mega drive games at the store. The mega cd is the Sega cd? I love all the games you shown us I don’t have a favourite game because I enjoy all the games I play except a space Sega cd game that I showcased on my Sega cad video oh I hated that game lol. I have that DJ game in the small mega drive case. Ohh wonder dog looks cute. Did you say a girl or game? I like the movie style games too those are interesting. Earnest looks fun. I enjoyed all the games. What did you pick up Adam? You inspire me to make little retro video on my channel I want to start making of my Japanese games so hopefully soon maybe 1 per week if I get the time. Thank you Adam I’m Re watching your video as I make brunch incase I missed something 😊.

[@udokiki]

It was in 1995...our Mega Drive 2 came with Yu Yu Hakusho, Sonic 2, Bare Knuckle 3, TMNT, Rambo, Mortal Kombat 2 & 3, After Burner, Chase HQ, Road Rash 3, Fatal Fury 2, NBA Live '96, Dragon Ball Z ...and more...🥹

[@RetroMoments]

Wow, thats a great selection of games. Lucky you!

[@segagirladventurespico]

3:51 i have never seen a Genesis 3 😮 was that by Sega or a 3rd party? Very cool. I have a Japanese sega mega drive and a bunch of games will have to film someday for my channel. 😊

[@RetroMoments]

Nope! Its original made by SEGA :D Came very late in the Mega Drive's life cycle. Very cool box art I must say. You definitely should :D

[@wicketwicket6469]

Hey bud great videoxi was wondering are u in Tokyo in 3weeks im coming over to hunt 😂😂if the mrs lets me 😂😂😊👍

[@RetroMoments]

Wicket :D Sorry, didnt see your comment until now. Oh nice, thats awesome. I am actually in Europe right now. But looking to go back to Japan soon. Hope you had some time to do some Game Hunting :D

[@sleeksm4]

I love out runners series

[@RetroMoments]

Me too! Outrun 2 Coast 2 Coast might be my favorite racing game ever!

[@Vvewa]

What are the Japanese like with recapping consoles? I search on yahoo auctions for consoles for fun quite a lot and haven't seen any advertised as being recapped or anything translated to indicate as much.

[@RetroMoments]

You're right. You rarely see that. But then again, Japanese people really take care of their stuff. So I would be surprised if they already expect things to work properly.

[@rolandbaron5813]

I'm glad I picked up a mega drive a month ago.

[@RetroMoments]

Nice! Where did you find it?

[@rolandbaron5813]

@RetroMoments off of ebay. A region free modded one for a good deal.

[@HappiestRogue]

Favourite Japan exclusive Mega Drive game you ask? Well that’s gotta be GLEY LANCER 👍

[@RetroMoments]

Great answer! I've been confused if its called Gley Lancer or Grey Lancer haha! I keep seeing "Grey" as well. But I came to the conclusion that "Gley" is the right one. I've only tried it out for a minute. I will definitely dive into that game later. Thanks for the answer.

[@HappiestRogue]

@@RetroMoments you’re all good bro, great vid as always, really enjoyed the tour and all the details.

[@RetroMoments]

Thanks bro! Happy to hear that! More to come!

[@kenfontijn1671]

Thanks for the video. Although you're really off when it comes to the Yen/USD conversion, 1000 yen is not 10 USD but more like 6,8USD.

[@RetroMoments]

Well, it was an estimate of the price. And it was also recorded in May, when the conversation rate was way different. But thank you for the comment. Enjoy the video!

[@kenfontijn1671]

@@RetroMoments sure thing. In May the rate was the same as now, but that's OK ;)

[@RetroMoments]

@@kenfontijn1671 Oh, I think Google says it was different. Anyways, I could have confused the USD with another currency, since I'm European. Sorry :D At least it works as an estimate :D

[@MoonBeamie318]

Do you know if this store sells online and ships to the US?

[@RetroMoments]

The last store, Surugaya does. They have the best prices so can definitely recommend it! Super Potato created an eBay account during the pandemic. But the selection is far from what can be found in the actual stores.

[@MoonBeamie318]

Thank you!!!

[@theshadowman1398]

Yeah I am not paying such prices.

[@RetroMoments]

Totally get it.

[@HollowRick]

Mega everdrive is the way :D if you want to play these games on real hardware

[@liamconverse8950]

32:27 "the Hitler game" lol what?

[@RetroMoments]

Yea, theres a Hitler game for the Japanese Mega Drive lol Its called "Advanced Daisenryaku".

[@BanditsBest686]

wtf why is that one loose unit over 20,000 yen? more expensive then units in the box?

[@RetroMoments]

Im not the best at reading kanji, but from what I understand its region-free and can also play NTSC-U as well as PAL games. Thats why.

[@BanditsBest686]

lol aight i was wondering like woah thats pricey@@RetroMoments

[@RetroMoments]

Yea I was confused at first too lol

[@segagirladventurespico]

Hi Adam im number 70 LIKES ❤ too bad not 69 lol jks lol. Watching your videos as i clean my 7 cats litter boxs YAY SEGGGGAAAA❤

[@RetroMoments]

Hey! Haha you shouldve have been a little faster lol Thats crazy haha! Enjoy SEEEEGAA!

[@ElijahSanDiego]

Hunting without buying

[@RetroMoments]

No. I got Thunder Force IV!

[@segatendostation8884]

PAPRION..

[@RetroMoments]

Oh Paprium! Ive seen that game. Looks incredible. Amazing graphics for being Mega Drive I have to say.

[@chamamemestre]

And in Europe we just have overpriced CEX crap or Gamezone...sigh...

[@RetroMoments]

Haha right. But CEX stores can have different prices depending on the location, right?

[@bigbabatunde1218]

​@@RetroMomentsCex have a set price with no haggling. Their prices can change but tend to do so on a nation wide basis.
