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

Probably the most enticing thing there was the Saturn Dual Stick CIB for $20.

Those usually go for 500 yen, be careful out there!

Wait, was it a dual Virtual On style stick, or a traditional arcade stick that was very long and had two joysticks+ buttons with one of each on both ends?

If it was the second then Fast may be veeeeery pissed.

It was one of these:

So nothing too difficult to find. I have Virtual On for the Saturn and I'd really like to play it the correct way, but I don't know if I can justify having something that big sitting around in my apartment collecting dust most of the time. If it was one of the dual arcade controllers for $20 I would have snagged it and promptly sold it to someone on here for a hefty profit.

Not sure I get why you've censored the prices.

It's not as if people somehow have the alternative of going there rather than bidding on your ebay auctions...well, obviously I may well do but most people won't care and indeed will be aware of the fact that you are making a profit

Honestly, the price censoring had me loling when I was first looking thru the pics weeks ago.

do you idiots realize this shit was posted like 9 months ago? hashirya has moved back to the states since then, i sincerely doubt he even has any ebay auctions right now, this is a moot point. enjoy the pictures or shut the fuck up.

sorry for the rant, i'm sure i'll get a warning for being so inappropriate, but this guy takes a bunch of awesome pictures of awesome shit in an awesome country and everyone is throwing him shit about censoring prices. who cares? remember when he posted the pictures of the giant gundam? this is like bitching that he didn't get a picture of it from a specific perspective or something.

[CFFJR]

Well, I just saw these pictures and I'm blown away.

I mean, holy flipping christ, its the mother load.

If only there were such retro game superstores in the states.

I'd be broke silly, but man it'd be cool.

I know its months later and all, but thanks for posting these pictures, they're impressive.

Thank you, sir. I wonder if those people go to their local Target and demand that Target must tell all its customers the price the Target Corporation paid for the stuff sitting on the shelves. The price "censoring" was to block the price for other people who live in Japan selling things on ebay. I had a bad experience before, so I learned my lesson. I'll leave it at that.
