[@thepotatosky]

the Ghibli laser disc you picked up is for Princess Mononoke!

[@mariorodriguez-et1ey]

Princess mononoke is the shit, one of my favorite movies is pure gold.

[@Balboa9191]

Was about to comment the same!

[@davidt3563]

Yup! Fantastic friggin movie!

[@jaredbrown691]

Princess Mononoke is an amazing transfer love my LD!

[@spacebarvideoproductions]

It’s incredible

[@MatSpeedle]

I can't explain how much I love sendico. The amout of bargains and mint condition items I've gotten from them is insane. Everything is always packed to perfection. I'm already getting more ideas now... watch out wallet! Hope I can trip to Japan myself one day, great stuff Tito!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I totally agree! I hope you find your way to Japan soon 👍

[@davidt3563]

Yea they are always rock solid!

[@croumic]

Man, that brings so many memories. My first trip to Japan was in 2003, I was 19 and already a retro addict. In those days, it was very interesting to go and and buy retro because of the huge stock you could find, and the prices were ok (internet was not as big as today). I remember bumping into another retro tourist that was older than me, and he said that retrogaming and Laserdisc shops were not as interesting to visit as they were in 1995! Haha, I thought that it was interesting enough, and as Tito, I fully packed my luggage with treasures I still own. Especially laserdiscs, man, you gotta love these cover arts ! It could be displayed at home like a painting on the wall. At 9:30, this Princess mononoke LD is amazing.

[@Mobik_]

9:09 Princess Mononoke もののけ姫 is ONE AMAZING movie. You'll love it SO much. Watch it in Japanese if you can with Subs as the voices are PERFECT. It has A LOT of Japanese folk that doesn't translate to any other language.

[@jochenwuerfel]

Best pick up 👌

[@EvilAng3la]

It's easily my favorite Ghibli movie - such an experience!

[@bash_maxwell]

Absolutely, he's in for a treat.

[@yellohammer8571]

The English dub brought Doctor Manhattan from Zack Snyder's Watchmen voicing the protagonist. But don't worry, I watched the movie in its original Japanese glory, with subs, a few years ago in school, and I agree, it's brilliant. Hayao Miyazaki is such a great director.

[@boredstudent]

Spirited Away or in Japanese 千と千尋の神隠し (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi) is another Studio Ghibli movie that sounds better in Japanese

[@kumarp3074]

The design on these Japanese computers is so cool. The X68000, FM Towns and some of the MSX units are just amazing.

[@Jetsfan0786]

I love the box art and also the size of boxes for the Gamecube games. Japan box art and cases are so much better than what we get here in USA

[@RetroMoments]

Haha yeah, Wii U consoles are everywhere here in JAPAN! And awesome to see that you bought some NEO GEO AES games! Definitely worth those prices! Great pickups overall!

[@huffdm]

Open up those shirts and enjoy them my man! Life is too short. Love your content, keep up the good work!

[@Ghreak]

9:16 Princess Mononoke :)

[@fvckmylife]

Bro really made us wait long for this vid. Finally I can watch it, glad it is a longer vid.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Haha sorry, I hope it was worth the wait 🙏

[@fvckmylife]

@@MachoNachoProductions For sure, those were some great pickups. Looking forward to the restoring vids and mods with em. Now I want to go to Japan and pick up some gems! Great vid Tito, keep up the good work.

[@Daniel-it1dp]

Thanks for sharing your pickups! Such a dream trip that I hope to one day make in my life.

[@spacevector2188]

Amazing conclusion to a great series. Loved getting to see some japanese tech through your eyes. Thanks Tito!

[@Tron08]

Sendico is pretty great, one tip I will share though is there are a LOT of extra fees beyond the auction price, especially shipping/handling costs. I've found it's best for buying large lots instead of individual items, at least in the Gameboy space.

[@rafadaolio]

omg Tito! this video is amazing! I am going bonkers, definately you realized an old dream of mine! congratulaions on your new purchases, and can't wait to see them in your next videos!

[@bnr32jason]

Just a note about the Japanese Gamecube games, very few of them came with actual memory cards. But they often came with a small sticker with the name of the game, like yours has for Biohazard 0. So CIB would include an unused memory card sticker, but not a memory card.

[@chadwolf3840]

Nothing better than a Japan pickups video.

[@Evercade_Effect]

First off I really enjoyed getting to take this journey with you and was looking forward to seeing what you got. I guessed right you got a retro computer and can't wait to see you do a video on it showing off the arcade ports. I think it's great you had a theme in kind to collect for the Japanese versions of the Resident Evil games. Code Veronica on the DC is one of my favorite versions of that franchise so I can relate. It was mind blowing to play it when it released at the time and still holds up. As always great video!!!!

[@torloni13]

This was a really great trip!! Congrats!! That X68000 is AWESOME!!

[@whatskenmaking]

Super jealous about the X68000 - what a great piece to own! I discovered Sendico in one of your other videos, and have gotten some great deals from them… thank you!

[@pixel240p]

Congrats on the acquisitions, beautiful items, dream trip, I have waka up scan converter, you will love it! hugs from Brazil!

[@richardcooper]

The Anime is Princess Mononoke ;) Awesome film from 1997.

[@arvyramos5197]

The Silent Hill 2 for the PS2 you picked up is playable in English, both voice and subtitles/menus. You just need to change it in game options. Same goes with Silent Hill 3 and 4 japanese versions since I have them in my collection. 😊

[@kenkooldad8900]

Nice pickups. We just got back from Tokyo last weekend. We love going there for the holidays. Next year it’s Osaka!!!

[@VinnytotheK]

In class right now, but I'm unbelievably excited to watch this later!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Sweet haul man! That sharp pc looks like a lot of fun! Glad you found a lot of cool items on your trip. Holler at me next time you are in town we will have to hit more of the rural side of Japan next time👍👍👍

[@moniepanda13]

coolll you have princess monoke.!! love your content Tito! keep it up!

[@kaseyclark7876]

MLIG did an episode on the Waka upscan converter. It taps the RGB signal from the PS1 or PS2 and line doubles it to 480p VGA. It’s really cool, but the video cuts out sometimes(at least on my unit). When I play Final Fantasy 7 or 8 it drops picture when a critical hit occurs. I’m not really sure why it happens, but it’s enough of an issue that I just run my PS1 to a Retrotink/vga adapter now instead of using the upscan converter. I dream of a mod that can correct it, if that’s even possible, but I don’t have the knowledge so 😅

[@DjJannoEuroRave]

Great video yet again! Would love to get a macho nacho game room tour. Can’t imagine how amazing the personal collection is

[@ma-yuansgameroomchannel9917]

Awesome pic ups 👍

[@d00kie06]

Princess Mononoke is awesome! Love the Blade Runner cover art! Cool Pickups!

[@dant5464]

You'll need a pair of power supplies for the WiiU, the GamePad has its own, the idea being the console sits under the TV and the GamePad stays by the couch with your remotes and other game controllers. There was a nice charging stand as well, included in the original box. Be sure to dump a backup copy of the NAND.

[@StrokedGT]

Great haul Tito! I've been looking for a Super Grafx myself, I'd have one by now if I could find one at the price you got! That was a great deal! I have most consoles but missing a few, including the Super Grafx, AES and X68000.

[@davidme00]

I was thinking of King of Games today as well. Hell yeah.

[@The_Lone_Aesir]

watching from my hotel room in yokohoma. ive not had any luck around here but going to yokosuka to hit up a few wattmans.

[@kazinwho]

I'm here for the Wonderswan stuff. I need to get one of the original black and white ones, I only have a modded color one at the moment. Insanely jealous of the X68000, too. Great haul, Tito!

[@garrettkazuma207]

great video. btw, you need to trim a standoff on the supergrafx casing to avoid the pcb from being damaged.

[@AshuSPVG]

I bought a pile of Dreamcast peripherals in BEEP last time I was in Japan. Still have the paper bag with their logo, only one I kept! I loved looking at all of the hardware they had in there although I knew very little about japanese computers including the Sharp X68000. Thankfully, the MiSTer FPGA is allowing me to correct this. It's been a joy watching this series so thank you for sharing it with us. I'm looking forward to returning to Japan for 3 weeks in April and going back to Beep as well as a few other places, while adding in more Hard Off and Book Off locations. It's funny you mentioned not getting a Wondermega as that's at the top of my hit list, being the only proper console I really want to find and pick up. While I'm hitting 6 cities, I won't really have the chance to hit some more of the off the tourist paths so I'll have to accept premiums. I can't remember what I paid for my AV Famicom when I was there but I'm certain it fell well into "Too much!".

[@kylestyle5693]

Cool stuff!

[@frostyarcade]

Those LD covers are sick!

[@undamned]

Sweet pickups! That Waka scan converter was reviewed by MyLifeInGaming a while back.

[@distant2soul]

Fantastic, and I agree silent Hill 2 was just classmy god the horror ha ha

[@hadesmcc]

The Panasonic Q, fortunately I have managed to add to my collection but the Wondermega and the X68000 still elude me. Congratulations on picking up the X68k!

[@fezwhy]

Nice Pickups! I would love to visit Japan someday. Looks like you spent over 2k. Which honestly I am surprised what you bought didn't cost more. Both of those wondersans were a steal at those prices. The Wii U was also another solid choice at that price. You can't even find one in the US broken for 30 dollars. Looking forward to what you have coming up next.

[@LetsGoVB]

The nostalgic feels of seeing the N64 box opened 🥰 reminds me of how excited we were when we got the original Nintendo when we were kids

[@GhibliNova]

Princess Mononoke!!! Its fantastic

[@cds5067]

This channel is something special, I am a big geek/nerd and I've watched everything, but this young man/fellow is going to be big in the future, remember these words.

[@redsarg99]

I really love some of the packaging for Japanese games! the GC games are a prime example!

[@Bakamoichigei]

I have yet to encounter a SNES/Super Famicom game where the Japanese boxart _isn't_ vastly superior. 😌 The Japanese put a much bigger emphasis on aesthetics in general...even just the graphic design elements of the brands are superior in Japan.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Dude, 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation video game covers were awesome considering it was commissioned art by the companies itself, and not screenshots from the actual game. So it made you feel as if it was going to be like playing a video game version of the movie, despite the graphics being similar or not even close to the artwork the box and the game sticker on the cartridge/CD-ROM had at that time...6th generation was pretty good too, although I like the 5th generation and before without the CERO ratings on it.

[@Bakamoichigei]

Actually, you CAN still use the Mega Modem! iirc, it didn't connect to a _service,_ it was for peer-to-peer dial-up multiplayer gaming, so if you have access to an analog phone line and another person with a Mega Modem and a phone line, you can theoretically play one of the few titles supporting it! Oh man, an X68000...

[@kaiosobreira]

The sega modem for the sega genesis was also in brazil. Went by the name meganet They even made a ad with a olimpic swimmer from the era... I dont remember who

[@JacobGunner]

That Final Fantasy Wonder Swan is gorgeous... I hope there will be a video of you modding that one!

[@lalo2509]

Amazing deals!! I also have that crono trigger CIB, it was funny because the guy who sold me the game warned me twice about the language and I was like "dude it's alright, I already have it in wii's VC" I just wanted it physically LOL. But in fact is cheaper than American version.

[@THELEGENDARYK2]

That Waka upscan is awesome with vga crts and a very nice score

[@Nighteye88]

Never knew about lazerdiscs... everytime I watch something I learn something new... Even if its not a mod video.... 😆 Also Resident Evil 3 has カプコレ on it which means "Capcom Collection" might have been a way to help people spot Capcom games easier because its on Tomb Raider ect when I searched it.

[@rodrigocc290]

10:56 - Ayrton Senna Monaco GP on the background... awesome

[@igormilanes2796]

Im from Brazil, love your videos 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@zinratore4809]

Man I enjoyed this video....I am glad I got my laser disc system 2/3 years ago.....I have a few japanese gundam LDs and Goonies, toy story also japanese editions of laser disc....oh and bubblegum crisis

[@dvdmike007]

Laserdisc FTW, still the best format

[@mathieuberthalay21]

Thank you for the video. The anime movie on Laserdisk is Mononoke Princess.

[@TheShoe1990]

Great movie picks! I didn't realize you were also a movie guy. lol Also, that Wii U was a steal! They're still fun to mod & play DS games on

[@vcoolguy575]

Huge shout out to you and to Sendico. I have a big bundle of Wonderswan games sitting in their warehouse as I type this lol

[@bitdigital8052]

Sweet haul! Be sure to check the PSU & Battery in the X68K ASAP if it hasn’t been refurbished already.

[@animedrawer69]

That waka up scan converter is something I always wanted to own. I’ve never seen one for sale.

[@TheCoolDave]

Wow, you got some good stuff. I did watch the videos; I have been following you for a while now. I don't remember you're a LD fan, that's cool, Nice pickups for a good price. I have a CLD-99 and a CLD-A100 with a good chunk of LD movies/and a few games. I DO remember, the first NEW Star Wars, Lucas would not do DVD, so I got a Japanese disc of Star Wars: Episode I so I could watch the movie in Dolby Digital (only other version was VHS at the time). I worked in a high-end Hi-Fi store at the time and I took my disk in and used it as a demo. The pod races were WILD in DD. I think I was one of the very few that could experience that on the east coast at the time. The NEOGEO AES, WOW prices, OMG, I had one when it was current, I HAD to have it. I remember back in the 90's picking up Viewpoint for the AES for $175, most games were under $150 used. I do have 8 games for the system and with current pricing, I do not think I will be buying too many more. Very nice pickups, I could not go there myself, as I could not hold myself back..... I DO plan on going there one day and limiting myself to like $700.

[@atomiswave1971]

Neo geo plays in the langauage the bios is set to. Both languages are on the disc it just chooses from the bios. So if your consoles is USA it will be English. I went to Japan in August and spent about $1000 or more. My 2 expensive items were Spriggan Powered and Battle Mobile on the Super Famicom CIB. My problem in Japan is reading the spines I generally get distracted by front facing items at waist to head height. All that stuff at ankle level can stay there lol.

[@Eiriansolum95]

muy buenas compras bro💪💪

[@aaronbrenkus9126]

The laser disk movie anime is Princess Mononoke, its amazing on LD. Happy watching!

[@Balboa9191]

That x68000 is amazing!!! I grabbed a star wars game for it while in Japana last but never saw the console

[@vava85]

25:09 it looks soooooo good!

[@0hellow797]

Also had to get an extra suitcase for my trip to Japan with my family, mom bought a fiberglass SATO elephant, and we had to cut its head off to fit in boxes

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Man it sure feels like Japan, despite the laws and working issues, has one of the best collections of retro stuff in the world (probably more than UK and US combined, including Canada and Ireland). So dude, thanks for doing this, I've seen many of these consoles over the years, and despite the prices, it's always nice to see what you picked up and what you'll use over the next 5/10 years or so. Thanks for making this video, enjoyed every minute of it but had to wait until Friday to watch considering yesterday I was a bit busy cleaning the house up.

[@ratmaster2000]

Great haul on the laserdiscs. I once had Phantom menace on LD when it forst came out (was like 100 bucks, crazy but I had it before anyone in the states, and back then there was no region locking BS). Anyway, I gave that along with my entire collection including two players to a good friend. They had all sat in my garage for the past decade or more. These "things" used to mean more to me, but with my wife's passing last august, nothing really matters anymore. I am basically downsizing and just keeping what has meaning to me or is just to fun to play. Sorry for being a downer. Very cool haul in Japan, especially all those Neo Geo systems. Back in the 80's there was a cool Japanese Game store in Torrance California, and I remember the Neo Geo going for like $500 bucks and the games being $100 to $150 bucks, but man the games were awesome.

[@FintanMoloney]

Those Laserdisks look like they are in mint condition. For sure when I get to Japan I'll be taking your advice on bringing an empty suitcase. I don't think ill have any trouble filling it up with stuff lol

[@dragoncracker]

with your fascination for laserdisk you might want too look into the domesday device for backing them up

[@thenatinator4935]

i want to try visiting a super potato store when i go on my japan cruise this coming summer

[@tigheklory]

Awesome video Tito! I would have suggested that you got the Sharp monitor along with the X68000 as it switches between 15khz, 24khz and 31khz as some games for the X68000 does that and and finding a triscan monitor is really hard to find in the USA.

[@GreyMatterShades]

That's a good point, but shipping a CRT back from Japan would be pretty pricey! 😅

[@tigheklory]

@@GreyMatterShades but Sendico is sponsoring the video, LOL, I mean guess you can put the money towards a Retrotink 4K

[@GreyMatterShades]

@@tigheklory LOL, yeah I guess they could have taken care of it 😅

[@Felice_Enellen]

The first black-sleeved Blade Runner was the widescreen Director's Cut, which is great. The second green one appears to be the original release. The corner you pointed to just said "Japanese subtitles". I wonder if the OG release in Japan had the unicorn scene.

that mario t-shit you got is actually mario 1, i got both famicom carts here rn lol

[@rustyroy5385]

I was out there recently for a couple of weeks too. I thought the stuff you see on eBay selling for really high prices would be easy to find and cheap out there, but I was wrong. Didn't see any 64DD stuff. Did see a X68000 and SNES modem, but they were both in a specialist games shop and priced highly. Also was expecting to see cheap shooters for the Saturn, but most Saturn games I saw were just common or shovelware. I took too much stuff with me, so couldn't bring tons back. The laserdisks are heavy, like you say. I now have a few laserdisks, but no player. Will have to go back at some point taking hardly anything with me so I can bring back a player.

[@theshadowman1398]

With yen being as low as it is now I am more than pleased to buying up most of yahoo's auctions right now. And getting much better deals than I would have at hard-off.

You are correct all language version is on the Neo geo cd and it’s easy to switch the console language to play the games in English.

[@AceUndergeekBunny]

The trip in Japan was so cool to see, a lot of Bio Hazard and many cool stuff. You talk about the Ghibli movie on Laser Disc that you don't know the name, it is Princess Mononoke, one of the best of Miyazaki. Also, My life in Gaming do a video about the Waka Up Scan Converter . To do simple it convert the 240p signal into 480p via VGA.

[@shadowdeath9687]

It missing the AV cable is complete lol - they expected you to have one from your Super Famicom ;)

[@TwinFamiProductions]

8:59 The Green jacket of Blade Runner is the older one. It’s the second version of the Warner Home Video art (the first version of their videos being a WCI box). The Director’s Cut is the first one you showed.

[@TheKiman2]

How did you bring all the hardware back? And did you have to declare them at customs?
