Hello for all those who are interested. Japanon OP here again to post some more pictures.

Here's the TLDR for this thread:

I'm an anon living in Japan and I like going to retro game stores and looking around. I take pictures of said stores and post them in this thread both for fun and so that people can make requests if they are interested. If you see something you want to know more about you can email me at:

vrjpnguy@gmail.com

I ask for a 13% commission for any items I send plus the cost of shipping but I am always completely transparent on price and don't want anyone to feel pressured to buy something just because they asked me about it.

I dump photos in these threads but I also have a Google Photo archive where I upload everything so you can look at your leisure. Here is the link the the newest album: https://photos.app.goo gl/VABhoKkKlXixQ6Is2

You need to put a "." between "goo" and "gl." If anyone knows how to create one link to every album in a photo archive please let me know.

Also, I apologize to anyone who hasn't heard from me in a while. I have an excel spreadsheet I use to keep track of requests but I have received many requests from many people and there are some that I have lost contact with. If you want an update please send me an email any time and I will try to get back to you. I work full time so this is a hobby rather than a business but it still takes a lot of time.

Now for image dumping.

The OP image has the first Game Boy Light that I have seen so far. Unfortunately it's the limited Pokemon The Movie version so the store wants nearly $300 for it. That would be a good price if it was in the box but loose I think it's a bit much. Also please note that the price in the picture is before tax. Most Japanese stores put tax on the label but not this one.

Here is a pic of the Gradius soundtracks that I saw for the anon who asked nearly two weeks ago.

I've seen Super Metroid for as low as 1980 cart only but it's usually closer to 2500. If you're lucky it might show up in box for under 4000 yen.

I'm not sure about Demon's Crest but it's probably cheaper than the American version.

I forgot to mention in the OP that at the request of some anons I have also created a Yahoo Auctions account and can bid on items for you then forward them to your address for the items cost plus 13% and the cost of shipping. If it's something crazy expensive I can do less than 13%, it's just to cover Paypal's fee and leave me something for my time. If you want anything from Yahoo auctions please contact me via email though. I want to keep the threads focused on /vr/.

>> No.4252686

>>4252665
not OP, but you'll probably need proof of having financial support (e.g.. you've been hired by a company and will have steady income to support yourself)

essentially, you're going to need to apply for a work visa. Your best bet though is to go as an English/foreign language teacher, which you don't have the qualifications for and will need to return to school for. You're going to be hard pressed to get a job within the gaming industry.

>> No.4252689

>>4252665
Yeah, if we're talking about being eligible for a work visa, you need a 4 year degree. Or alternatively to 10 years of relevant work experience.

If you're a native English speaker you can try JET, but even for that you need a 4 year degree.

If you're from like UK, you can apply for one year working holiday.

(But you said "move". Well, getting to stay tín Japan permanently is a whole other can of worms.)

I haven't seen Bulk Slash yet but it depends on the store and the day. Generally prices run cheaper than ebay though. Sometimes by a lot (saw a Dracula X for 9000 yen once) and sometimes they're pretty much the same as ebay.

>>4252665
>>4252686
>>4252689
These are pretty good answers. You don't absolutely need a 4 year degree but in order to get even shitty entry level English teaching jobs every company wants you to have one because it makes it easier to get a work visa.

Barring that your options are:

Marry a Japanese national
Work for a Japanese or foreign company and get transferred to a Japanese office
Join the US military and hope you get deployed in Japan
Become independently wealthy and move on an investor visa

You're talking about face jobs and those only exist in China and other developing countries.

Sorry, this is biased but it's Japan, not China. You generally don't have to worry about people trying to screw you over at established stores and there's no haggling so no need to worry about getting suckered. With that said, the popular and well known places in big cities (Akihabara in Tokyo and Den Den Town in Osaka) have good selection but suck as far as pricing is concerned because rich foreigners with more money than sense visit every day.

I recommend visiting secondhand chain stores. My favorites in descending order are Comp Off, Hard Off, Book Off and 2nd Street.

The standards for the lowest level work are insultingly low. You don't need any experience or qualifications and they only require a 4 year degree so they can get you a visa but expect to be treated like the unskilled labor that you are. There are good jobs too, teaching business English, working at a university or starting your own school can be very lucrative. Working at a public school through JET or Interac has much better conditions than eikaiwa but the pay isn't great.

The Game Boy Light is sought after for rarity and practicality. That model is a limited edition that was only available in Japan to promote the first Pokémon movie. It sells for $600 or more complete in the box so their price isn't unbelievable but it's not really a deal either.

Like with anything else getting started is the hardest part. Once you're here though you should really try to make friends with some locals because most foreigners leave eventually.

The 8000-9000 would be for a Core Grafx. A DUO will run you about ¥15000-20000 complete depending on the store and whether or not it has the box. But those suckers are heavy in the box so shipping could be as high as ¥7000. Probably much less if it's loose.

It depends on the model but I see the remotes by themselves go for between 1500 and 2500 yen. Cables are usually available for 300 to 500 yen and power cords are closer to 500. I'm not sure about sensor bars but I would guess around 1000 yen or less depending on the store and the condition.

I'd be willing to go up to $25 each on them.

That shop is all over the place. A friend of mine bought a 3DO there for ¥1000. I dig the atmosphere. It's definitely one of the most "American" stores I've been to.

>>4258161
It depends on the person. The most common complaints are that with Japanese women the sex completely stops after they have a kid and they undergo a radical personality change from cute and bubbly to cold and serious. For Japanese men it's usually that they expect their wife to take care of all the chores and child rearing and have a very traditional gender role.

But just like anywhere else there's great variation between people and you just have to look out for obvious warning signs and not rush into marriage.

Plenty. For the GameCube and N64 I've seen pretty much every variant at least once plus the clear "cool pad" for Saturn and the Dreamcast Millennium controllers.

>>4259272
Generally Japanese stores (regular ones anyway) are very immaculate, neutral and kind of sterile. That's not a complaint by the way, the service and cleanliness is generally much better in Japan across the board. This store feels less serious and like the owners are just trying to have fun. Also the service is kind of shitty and the customers dress really casually. It isn't better but it reminds me of secondhand specialty stores I used to visit in the states.

Japan has tiny stores cramped to the roof with games and merchandise. It's very cozy and makes it look more like a hobbyist store. It's mostly because of the urban layout of commercial locations in Japan vs the big-box stores and malls of America. You also get tiny brick-and-mortar stores in America, like Videogamesnewyork, with a similar atmosphere, but they are few and far between.

I've only seen one HORI pad and it's gone now but the store wanted ¥4980.

The cheapest I see complete Saturn sets is around ¥4200 but I might be able to piece one together from the junk section (junk is a misnomer, almost everything works, it's just sold loose and has aesthetic imperfections) for ¥1000 but missing the A/V cable, those never show up in junk for some reason.

Bumping for awesome thread.


>>4252294
I just can't be a fan of the series due to my income. This is the one peripheral I do not have, because it was priced significantly more than the official Sega ones. After shipping and all this thing will top $300USD. It is the final revision of the controller too (wider spacing and larger metal base). I think this Hori one was mail order only too. Gone a long ways since Sega overproduced the Sega Saturn twinsticks that they were going for $30 shipped (that's why I got 2). Guess it is time to learn the obtuse to me 360 pad controls the top players use with dedicated guard and jump buttons.

I added some pictures to the google photo drive, here is a link: https://photos.app.goo gl/0Swnt4uczfHuDUvQ2

I will dump some here later for people who just want to browse without dealing with the link. Remember to put the "." between "goo" and "gl."

I did make it to a new store that had a pretty large selection but leaned towards newer things. I want to visit more new places in the future to keep the threads interesting but I can't always get too far away.

>>4262484
I haven't seen one yet but my guess is around 1500 yen unless it winds up in the junk bin in which case it would probably be between 500 and 980.

>>4262764
I've seen a few but they always seem to have broken disk drives. In that condition they seem to run from 6000 to 9000 yen.

>>4264919
Great series and I love the twin sticks but 200 USD is too much for me even with HORI quality. I actually saw a newer Virtual On machine at a Round 1 recently but didn't have a chance to play it.

I've seen that exact controller but only for PS1, not N64. The boxed PS1 version is usually around 2500 yen I think.
