    Another great video, JJ!
    I picked up Fate: Unlimited Code myself from a BOOK OFF! Definitely worth it. Super cool fighting game never released outside Japan! Recommended :D

      I may have to give it a go. I see it from time to time, and it’s always reasonably priced. It seems to have a solid group of devs and publisher, too. Cheers!

    Might be worth a trip to Shizuoka to check out the new Surugaya flagship store that just opened in the building that used to be a department store.

      Sweet, thanks for the tip. I was recently in Mie and Aichi. For the next round I’m thinking Yamanashi and Shizuoka. Cheers!

    Such a big fan of this video. So many reasons - the slow slow steady shots of the full shelf before diving into them. Let's me pause the video with a clear look at all the spines. So I can virtually hunt and try to practice my reading of the titles. Loved seeing the guide books and the big box items. The slow look at the glass cases. Slow look at the used hardware so I could see vita, controller, etc prices, and variation of defects. If I could add more, I'd love to see what games end up in the rated Z sections too as they are always up high.

    • @RetroReWire
      @RetroReWire  Před 9 měsíci

      I glad you enjoyed the video! I try and aim for a slow pace so that viewers can pause and scan areas that I miss, etc.
      I’ll try and remember to add the rated Z stuff in future vids. They’re high up on the shelves to keep them out of view of young kids, haha. Cheers!

    Hi. Do you see a lot of Japanese games for the original Xbox on your journey? I know it's not a popular console, but it would be interesting to see!
    Very interesting and informative videos!

    • @RetroReWire
      @RetroReWire  Před 9 měsíci +1

      I love the original Xbox! I see the games quite a bit, but never really in terms of quantity. I highly recommend Panzer Dragoon Orta’s Japanese release as itt includes a soundtrack! Cheers!

    Hey JJ, great video. Thanks for the awesome tour last Friday. I would have picked up all of those spice orange controllers to go with the 1800 Yen GameCube we found. I'll definitely be back next year.

    Would you know what the price range is for a used Nintendo Switch (base version, not OLED)? I'm heading to Kyoto and Osaka next month and planning to upgrade from my 1st gen Switch.

    • @RetroReWire
      @RetroReWire  Před 6 měsíci

      Prices will definitely range from as low as ¥14,000 (Junk) to ¥26,000 (CIB) for the base model. LE Switches will go for higher depending on their condition. The OLED seems to hover around the ¥29,000 mark.
      Surugaya, Hard OFF, Book OFF are decent places to check. Furuichi and GEO could be better!
      Enjoy your trip and happy hunting!
