When that homebrew music for wii starts at 4:50, my memory reset back to early 2009 when I hacked my wii. I still have it today playing games that even the pc, series x or ps5 can't do.
Holy Grail Indeed! Glad to see two youtubers I watch everytime on the same screen~ Wish to go game hunting with you guys when I visit Japan. (Expecting this fall!)
Just subscribed because goddamn is this interesting content. No nonsense. all information and nostalgia. The pricing and information boxes (plus the commercials) are such a nice touch. Thanks for putting in the extra effort. I've learned about a lot of stuff I'd never have seen anywhere else. My favorite game of all time is Shenmue 2 and it's so cool seeing it pop up in a couple videos. I had never heard of the "What's Shenmue" demo disk. I kind of want it now.
Thanks so much! I actually picked up What's Shenmue by accident on a recent live stream as it came bundled with one of the original launch versions of Shenmue haha
Awesome episode! My favorite fellow Swede out there representing :) One of the best hardoffs in Tokyo if you ask me, been there twice on my trips to Japan. Will go there the next visit as well :)
@@4amLaundry its not that bad everywhere tbf, I live in the UK and it regularly sells here for £50-80, which is about 65-100, so not cheap but a little cheaper. I actually see quite a few sell for £35-45. I picked it up at the end of last year for £40 which is about 50 bucks
great video 👍, cool 😎, retro moments is with you 😁, am subscribed to his channel both of your RU-vid channels are amazing, over all I like the video games that were in the video 👍, but my favorite one would have to be is Capcom fighters 😊🎉🎉❤❤
Nice! That looks like the Oweda Hard Off? I was there on Saturday…. I picked up their last Super Famicom, a Wii, and complete Wii U. They had other Wii-U’s, but they were pretty “scruffy”. I also got a New 3DS LL (it wasn’t actually “new” but it was in mint condition). I also got the a N64 from a he book off out back. I got a bunch of games too… I’m planning to go to another hard off in Hachioji on Friday (to get more games)… Thanks for these videos, they have been helpful.
9:30 That's the situation at a lot of Hard Offs, especially those in the big cities like Tokyo. They resort to putting common games in their glass cases because they want to keep up the image of having a full case but have nothing better to put in there.
Dude! Stellar finds. Such a vibe touring all these thrift stores. What's the general consensus on the JUNK section? Is stuff mostly not working or just in rougher shape than the rest? Stoked to get out there in a few weeks! :D
Some great stuff! Initial D on PS2 was one of the first imports I owned, I found a great deal on a system a couple years ago and came with a handful of loose games, and that one was in there so I had to jump on it! Definitely have to get back to collecting for it at some point. also blown away by the freaking Gundam Arcade they had there... probably don't see THAT one every day!
So cool right? The 3 monitor setup is crazy that it was even available. Those arcades are network controlled so I doubt you'd get the game working on it.
There's only 62 games on the PC-FX and everytime I see the m it's the same couple of adult ones lol, I'm guessing the uncommon ones are worth a fortune
Found out about your channel through @RetroMoments and it was fun seeing the 2 of you. Subbed to the channel and it's a shame you had to leave that NES TV behind. It's totally understandable as it would be a big investment to ship it and get it working again.
Appreciate the sub! I'd have gotten the SNES TV if it was working, I live here and it wouldn't have been that big of an issue but broken CRTs are just way out of my area of expertise unfortunately.
Batman Returns is top tier SNES brawler. Crowdmaniging is fun and the hits feels really good. You really feel like Batman, an underrated game and often overlooked.
Hey man, what's up? I've been to that store a month ago and there I found Wario Land 3 complete in box for 2200 yene. My brother found a Gran Turismo 4 special edition for 500 yene there. I took a look on that Rockman 7 (I played that game a lot on my childhood) and the condition of the box and manuals aren't great. They were asking 8000 yene for it before.
I heard about the transformer issue, I personally don't touch anything CRT unless it's working because I just don't have the skills to fix it. As a novelty it's super nice tho, was the quality comparable to RGB?
Been living here 8 years and that is high for a SFC TV. I find them working and clean in the 30k-40k range for people. If you have never seen one IRL its nice to look at but not to buy at that price if you live here. If you plan to sell overseas and have someone wanting it, its worth it bc its worth much more outside Japan.
You'd be surprised tho, it's only been 5 years here for me but the prices are shifting drastically. I'm not expecting to find a mint one for under 100k anymore tho.
@@4amLaundry i'm not surprised, I been buying and selling games, cards, figs etc for longer than I been in Japan. Deep in the US and Jp markets. I see all of that. The prices on thsoe that I've mentioned have been steady for years tho when I find them for people. Its like me being able to find SFCbox and FCbox still very cheap. Just gotta know where to look and of course NEVER tokyo lol
Yay a new video and with my friend Adam from Retromoments 😊 so yeaturday I went to you page to see if you were live lol and you were not since I missed the last 2 lol 😊 ahah lol 4am and Retromoments lol ahah just saw Adam walk-in on u lol 😂😂❤😂😂 2:43 wow so cheap the Dreamcast games in Japan 😮 $2.10 usd wow. 8:23 Grandia 3 I’m picking it up lol have it on hold to grab it for my ps2 😊
Yo Pim, if you consider Ocarina of time on the 3DS the definitive edition then play Majora's on there too. However, on the N64 is the OG experience obviously haha. Also you definitely have to be a little emo kid at the time to consider it your favourite hahaha. Awesome video brother thanks again.
Great video, I picked up a 'junk' Kingdom Hearts 3DS for 5000 from this store in February. I was hoping to see the XEye that was here but it had sold when I went.
@@4amLaundry It had a faulty thumbstick, thats all... Easy fix. I saw a working one later the same day for 20,000. No i saw it in a video with Jim and Destiny
@@4amLaundry dude theres alot i feel the vibe you guys get excited, some of that stuff I cant read the JP but recognize the box/visual recognition, but the contra graphics were peeping out on the box on that one too
Grandia III got a US PS2 release. The Mega Man games are now as valuable with the PS4 collections. There's a Street Fighter 30th anniversary collection on PS4 so Third Strike is not as valuable. I would love to see a KOF collection. SVC Chaos was never released on PS2 in the US. It was supposed to but last minute they released it on Xbox instead.
I don't think you can. Even if it wasn't gutted like this one arcade cabinets these days are connected to servers where they're "unlocked" with a subscription available only to game centers. Some have been hacked tho.
Well, depends on where you buy it, I guess. The last auction I saw of that game, it went for 30 dollars. A friend of mine in Scandinavia picked it up for 20!
I could be wrong but I believe that namco pro wrestling game is not the nintendo one you showed in the video. I have it on FDS called Famicom Wrestling League or something like that. I don't believe they efver released a cartridge version of the Black box nes Pro wrestling for famicom.
You're right! I just noticed like right after uploading haha. Namco's is called "Tag Team Pro Wrestling", shows how much I have yet to learn about the Famicom haha
Less demand internationally since they're Japanese and most people can't read them. There's also a lot more of them than people think, multiple reasons really.
The Fishing game was new, all others were used. The specific discs we picked up we're all more uncommon or sought after so you typically won't find these for 100 yen like I usually do. The Hard Off itself is kind of famous so they're a bit more expensive too.
The other youtuber talks incessantly and disrupts the flow of the video. Definitely detracts from your usual format. Love the bike vids. Just my $.02 and constructive criticism. ✌🏽
