SUPER POTATO in AKIHABARA Retro Game Run
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 05. 2020
- As things start to open again in Akihabara and around Tokyo, it's to get back in the game shops in the hopes of finding some decent deals. Super Potato is usually a long shot, but I'm always willing to try. Nothing like digging through this monument to retro gaming glory.

Thanks for watching, everyone! As the city starts to open up again I'll be out shooting a lot more videos, so feel free to let me know what kind of videos you'd like to see. Your feedback is always appreciated. Also, all of my social media stuff is in the description of every video, so have a look if you want to follow me on other platforms. Thanks again!
Hi, love the videos! I was thinking of signing up for the patreon game box is it possible to get switch games? And is there any delay sending boxes from Japan to the States because of Covid?
More super famicom boxed games please
I like the Wii Shop Channel theme, nice touch. Also, have you run into Mattias Pilhede, he came to Japan recently?
Idiots in japan as well. People lookind down at there stupid zombie phones while walking
@UClJx4GwqqVhMbIknqB9GMwg
loved the walkthrough! keep it up! Id like to do a one off game and snack box buy from you if you're still doing that kind of thing!
I remember my first time visiting Super Potato. I almost exploded 🤣
What an awesome store. We don't have those places here. Not even in San Francisco.
Thanks Jim! Its crazy how good this video made me feel, really uplifting to see people on the streets and most stores open again. I hope travel will become possible soon and I can finally visit Japan again. If not this mess, I'd be there right now, enjoying my summer holiday.
I missed these game hunting videos! Always makes me feel nostalgic, hope I can go back to Japan next year.
Thanks for the great video Jim .
I kept hopping you’d find that Metal Slug game in this video 😆
Amazing to see Super Potato is still around. I remember going there in 2008, it was rad.
I am so happy to see another Tech Romancer fan!
Another awesome run, Jim! Liking the edits throughout the video :D Super Potato in Nagoya always showcase a lot of SNK games as well everywhere in the store.
Dude thank you so much for sharing!! Can’t wait to visit someday!
Loving the clips you add while looking at games Jim !! :D
Loved the corresponding video clips!!
Still feels strange that I've been in that exact store. It's been years, though. They have way more consoles than I remember. I pretty much just remember games and toys.
This was really entertaining, subscribed!
man that store looks incredible!
Got to come here on my trip to Japan, was awesome to see it again. Hopefully (in a few years at this point) travel will be a thing
I could just watch you walk down Akibahara all day and not get bored. I always wondered if places like Super Potato did like US stores and had american imports tucked in a corner.
Hey. Just found your channel off a CZcams recommend. Love it.
Great video man!
i love that music in the beginning!
Yes I was in akihabara this afternoon all the shop are open it’s good to see it. We should go together !
Wonderful and awesome video :)
Woohoo, another shop video! By the way, I recently subscribed to HappyConsoleGamer and have been binge watching his videos both new and old, didn't know you and John were friends, you've sent him some cool stuff! As always be safe and keep playing
Great video! SP going to be the first place I visit when I go to Japan.
Awesome Jim!
Nice to hear the Wii Shop music again.
The condition of everything is amazing too
Einhänder goes for well over 150 bucks in the US. The PC engine section looked amazing noticed Ane-san and Cho Aniki in passing. Always love your game shopping vids. Hope all you are doing well Jim. Thanks.
If only we had stores like this in America that is cheap!
It's really nice to see everything open. We're going to have to queue outdoors and have a limited amount of people indoors when everything opens in the UK. Not normal :(
Always love seeing goodies in Super Potato Jim. Very nice. 8^)
Anthony..
The weekend just got better!
amazing!!! please I want to hear tokyo street sound too!
I bought an American version of the WonderMega, the Xeye in Charlotte NC for about $100 buck 4 years ago, one of the coolest things I have in my collection besides this huge nintendo sears sign.
It's refreshing to see how peaceful it is over there, because it most definitely is not over here lol.
Prob cos Japanese cops dont kill people for fun.
Can't wait to get back to the Nippon
fujita is a cool guy ahah...i like his videos
I would go nuts buying all that ps1 gaming goodness.Hot shots golf is one of my favs on the system
I know I'm late to this video, but wow, when I make my trip to Japan, no way I'm missing this place!
Can't wait to get back to Akihabara to get some Super Famicom goodness asap
Like I've said to other people, nobody does merch as well as Japan. Gotta head back to Akihabara someday!
Very nice.
Crash n the boys and the Technos Team really won my Gaming Nostaliga
Cool Vid
love the video! keep it up! Id like to do a one off game and snack box buy from you Jim if you're still doing that kind of thing!
13:51 OMG, Super Metroid from Konami, i spend hours on the SNES to play this game in my childhood. love this... thank you Jim for these flashbacks
Super Metroid was made by Nintendo. Nothing to do with Konami.
@@SailorMoonFan92 amazing. i diddnt catch this. thank you. anyways, this is one of my childhood memories
Man I wish I could find a working MSX2 that's in awesome shape, I wanna play all those old school KONAMI games, I got to play both Metal Gear games from the MSX on the PS2 and I LOVE THEM!!! Especially the second Metal Gear, my God is that game overlooked
Xevious on the PCE is great! It features the arcade game, plus a sequel/gaiden followup game that is all-new. Super Potato is great and never bother people for taking videos in the store. Prices may be cheaper elsewhere, but at Super Potato you can't find a better presentation and ambience. I made a Metal Slug and Outrun iron beads for decorating the store, but they took damage and are probably long gone by now. That was about 10 years ago.
18:25 Omega Labyrinth! Good times. =)
Always nice to see some famicom-games showcased :) How often do you run across games like Gimmick, Recca or Moon Crystal?
22:58 I *JUST* purchased that Doki Doki Panic booklet from eBay yesterday for a bit less (with a gift card), lol.
Nice! Violent Soldier/Sinistron is one of my faves. PCE version is getting much harder to find now days for a good price. US one goes for less usually
.
Fairly sure the leopard DC controller was sold through SEGA Direct and came in a brown blank box. Had a friend who got his that way back in 2003.
That is correct! Along with a few other designs...I picked up the woodgrain one when I was in Osaka last December.
What I really find myself longing for these days are Game Boy games.
I have some digital ones on my 3DS (I also have some old physical ones, but their internal batteries are dying off), but I specifically miss browsing the boxes :/
Aaaaaaw i miss the Wii e shop music =)
this is a really cool video thanks for showing all the famicom and super famicom games especially all rockman and i spottedd sweet home the original resident evil if i could go to japan one day this is the kind of store i would go all the time and buy the original cartridges you cant find them in the usa
nice video !!!! thx for the work !!!!
スーパーポテトかー。最近行ってないなぁ。また見に行こう。
Iwill come to visit this place is a tourist 💝
kidshoryuken, you looked at a super nes game called papu wakun I think. Cant find it anywhere to buy, unless I am spelling it wrong.
I wish you a wonderful day to everybody!
You enjoy Yu Yu Hakausho? Funny enough I ran into the Yusuke english voice actor in a Mangasouka (Justin Cook). He was looking at some of the figures and let me get a selfie with him lol. Great guy. You never know what or who you're going to find game hunting in Japan. xD
To answer the Einhander question, it's running about $100 in North America right now... $80-90 if you're lucky. We had a copy when I was little and stupidly sold it away back in the 2000s. Damn!
Man used the same background track for the entire 25 minutes... wow.
it was nice though, I ain't trollin' that much.
The music at the end of the video... I swear I've heard it before. From an old NES game but I can't remember what it was.
Distraction is always good :-)
I enjoyed that video. Can you tell me more about the girls in the street handing something out pls. Subbed btw.
I wish more Game Boy/Color/Advance and N64 attention.
Can anyone read the price of Battlemania 2 at 16:50? Is the first digit a 5 or a 9?
Very cool ....Einhander i have seen go from $100 to $300
Great channel. Ive watched a lot of channels as such were content creators go to Japan game hunting but few with gameplay & ive always wondered what the games look like. I don't & if so rarely give a thumbs up but im going to say just for being different and the effort maybe even love you put into this vid, your getting one from me. Ive watched this channel before dreaming & wishing i was there but i didnt see any in past vids but this one was awesome & for what its worth, appreciated. However, whats better than saying thank you, giving a youtuber a thumbs up! You got it. If possible, can you do one i think super potato or Alibaba i cant remember any of the names of the stores but if possible can you do one with figs, statues & legos etc. I think in japan they sell hot toys, prime one studio etc statues for a good price & some weve probably never seen. Just a request. If you can cool if not, still cool beans. Still a dope channel either or. Cant hurt to ask. Have a good one & stay safe.
the PC Engine stuff making my eyes light up 😍😍😍
I want that AES console too haha
you did not mention the cost of the bulk package of super famicom games you picked up @ the beginning of your little adventure, just curious what a 10 ish pack costs.
\
KidShoryuken, Where can I find the Cheapest PS1, PS2, Saturn, Dreamcast, Gamecube and Wii games in Japan?
I wanna live in Japan (sometimes)
I love Neogeo
I want to live in there.
I played the first minute of dragon ball or 'dragon power' if you will. I thought it sucked balls, but maybe i should revisite
How much does 'mighty final fight' for the NES there in stores go for?
Where do these retro game stores get their games from? Do they buy and trade used games from customers? Or is there some kind of source they purchase in bulk? It's amazing how much product they have!
Lets play how many maids can you spot!
hi little late a quest but this store inside have pc engine old gaming computer and ibm palmtop pc 110 old japan laptop? im this 2 model very search thanks the answer :)
I've been long aspiring to visit Super Potato for years, and Japan in general. Obviously, knowing the language would help, but how necessary is it to speak Japanese to make it around there? Thanks in advance, loved your video.
In times like this I need they should change to nurse cafe
Populous for 110yen sounds alright if I had a Super Famicom
Hey what is the name of that super famicom game you picked up the first one? Papua ?
The MSX you were holding seemed to be tapes, not cards. I would love to get into MSX, and collecting MSX cartridges but they are soooo expensive
I do love the tags they used in the dreamcast games section, that's cute! if we ever survive this pandemic someday I'd love to fly myself and my wife out there to check out some of those shops! (and sure do some other sightseeing around Japan) always love seeing these videos so much cool stuff!!
Really stupid getting married its a scam also this plandemic is also probably a scam as well.
0:37 Guy in red shoes is like, "shit, maids are trapping me, better turn around!" hahaha
You dont need like in your fucking sentence
@@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335 Are you crying bitch baby, because it's there?
What does "the maids" mean? What are they offering anyway?
Damn I hear about how expensive they are but the prices are actually way cheaper than eBay. How much was that 1943 Kai? $80? I'd love to be able to get a copy.
Enjoyed the video. Anyone know how to play dreamcast on a modern flat tv?
My FIRST Console Game is Nintendo GameBoy Advance SP, and My SECOND Console Game is PlayStation 2.
I Remember that's Game City Connection, but... Game before City Connection, i didn't Remember, have try it or not🤔🙏🙏🙏
Where is the outro song from?
super potato is good with pricing for hidden gem titles.. Though the key/rare titles i find them to be slightly overpriced...
I wish I was there now. I'm in the twin cities, which is a bit of a war zone right now.
Oh my gosh, Ive nvr played Yo Noid, only Kamen no Ninja, and I thought it was a Chinese bootleg game! Sorry, I guess I thought the quality wasn't amazing, but I just replayed it a bit, and it is an ok platformer, weird timer thingy or shooting the items.
Just a random question, are the maids scared of you at the end because you have a camera? I see them all turn away haha. Great video by the way. I would love to visit that store so bad.
Ahhhh was trying to work out the music Mario Paint on the Snes ?.
Wii store in the beginning if that's what you mean
Dude, Were are the GameCube's
