A Glimpse Into Japan's Retro Mega Stores (56K DEATH!)

No, it's a Mitsubishi Toppo - hardcore. I had to think for a few minutes to remember the name, that's how great this car is. It gets me to work every day so I guess it will do.

Jeez, I wish we had a place like that in this po-dunk town. Not sure if I spelled "po-dunk" right. All we have is Geo and Hard-Off around here. Oh, and Kaitori Ookoku, which recently stopped selling Saturn stuff, as if specifically trying to anger me.

Even Nagoya doesn't have anything nearly that amazing. The best place for that kind of stuff in Nagoya sells Radiant Silvergun for like 20,000 yen, IF they have it in stock, which they almost never do.

Hope you didn't buy anything at Super Potato!

Why is that?

I'm just giving you crap. They're just really overpriced compared to most other places.

HARD OFF does have some good stuff from time to time. Just keep an eye on it. GEO will occasionally surprise me with something nice and cheap.

Time for you to come to Tohoku!

I always snicker whenever I see the "Toppo BJ". That name is funnier than the Daihatsu Naked. Anyhoo, when shaken comes up, ditch that car with a quickness. Mitsubishi isn't in the shitter for nothing! Plastic clutch plates on their EVOs, I don't know how they get away with that.

That's true. I only bought a handful of SFC carts and some PS1 games that I thought were fairly priced. I really wanted a PC-Engine Core Grafx, but SP had them marked at 9,000 yen. I felt like that was a bit too much to drop.

I was only in Tokyo for a couple days, so my game shopping was brief. I spent most of my trip in Hiroshima, but unfortunately couldn't track down any retro focused game shops or Hard Off stores.

There's a good example of Super Potato prices, a PC-Engine Core Grafx for 9,000 yen is crazy. I got mine for 980 yen and it came with three games. That was in a Doki-Doki.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Makes me drool. Will need to send many PMs to you in the coming months to get stuff. Also like the car, looks very well kept. Wish here people would take more care of their stuff like you guys.

Actually yeah, I can't badmouth Hard Off because they classify just about all Saturn stuff as "Junk", making it surreally cheap. They might as well just give it away. I got a Saturn Hori stick (black with green buttons) there for like 305 yen or something like that. Also, Dodonpachi was 980. Unreal!

Geo also sold WakuWaku 7 for 980, and they do have other good deals sometimes, but Saturn selection around here ain't great.
