What exactly are you looking for? Basically EVERYTHING game related you can find in Akihabara if you're in Tokyo. Sure, you can make a an hour or a few hours trip by train, probably a 30 minute walk, thereby wasting a half day or a whole day of precious time in Japan searching for a game shop in Kanto that offers basically the very same thing that you'd find in Akihabara.
There are a few good shops, but you'd be making a trip somewhere JUST for like one place that wouldn't be really any better than what you'd see in Akihabara (maybe some cheaper things, but you'd be spending extra time, money for transportation and food anyway). Only if you were a few hundred miles away in Tohoku or Kyushu or whatever would you be getting to the really good game shops... places that you'd need a car to get to in most cases.
My advice is stick to Akihabara or Den-Den town in Osaka unless you are here for an extended period of time.
If you want to check out Hard-Off shops or whatever, their website has maps to their locations; NONE of which are in Tokyo proper (23-wards) (except maybe Oizumi Gakuin, but that is NOT within easy/convenient striking distance unless you have a car).
hi everyone im new to this forum but i am going to tokyo this oct, and i am hoping to go to some of these retro's stores they amaze me that ive seen on this site, ive been to akihabara before and super potato amazed me big time.
