Where to buy PC Engine Games in Japan?

[Tatsujin]

yeah, I remember well. back in 1998 I could walk into any stores and buy me some real deal sapphires for the cheap。

@tatsujin: thanks a lot, where is media land located and do they sell PCE stuff?
super potatoe and tetro champ are the best stores so far. i have to check out those other ones.

[Tatsujin]

updated medialand. they still have some pce and other retro stuff in 3F or so. and they are also quite cheap, if you have the chance to get some good stuff (f.e. they had a dracula x for below 4000JPY).



btw. potato sure has the most stuff, but is also the expensive. champ is also very expensive compared. I woulnd't recommend to buy at champ anyway, unless they have some good bargain stuff.

please try mandarake and retro friends the next time. they have the best price vs. condition ration. trader honkan also is ok.

retro friends was a cool shop but they did not ave basted or ko seiki beast...

today is my last day in tokyo, i will check out mandarake this day.
does anyone know if there are good retro game shops in osaka?

[Tatsujin]

Osaka has like 39'483 potatos. ask superdeadite for the details

[SuperDeadite]

Osaka has a few good places.  But honestly if you can't find very common PCE games like Basted! in Akiba, then you won't find shit here.

I found a few games in Nipponbashi, Osaka last time I looked, but Akiba is better. Here's some links to stores there that sell retrogrames (can't confirm which have PCE), but if you go there everything is mostly on one street with a few alleyways, so you'll probably find the places just by walking around.

i did find basted at mandarake in akiba.
now iam in kyoto and when i come to osaka after my 2 day hiroshima/3 day yakushima trip, then i will check those stores for KO beast.

Damn dude, nice gaming trip. Can't wait to see what all you hauled off. Got any cool pics too?

Best of luck on your hunting!

[gbapalyer]

off course. will post some when i return.
hunting for games is a neat side effect of me and my girlfriends trip. we are visiting tokyo, kyoto, hiroshima and yakushima each place for a few days with more day trips to surrounding locations. 10 days tokyo are over and now we are staying the last night in kyoto before leaving to hiroshima tomorrow for 2 days, then yakushima 3 days and lastly 6 days kyoto again.

[Nando]

Sounds like an awesome trip! Safe travels and happy PCE hunting!

[kazekirifx]

Lots of PCE games in Yakushima.

Nah, just kidding.

[gbapalyer]

[gbapalyer]
