Join me on my 1st exciting retro gaming and game hunting of 2026 in Japan, exploring some incredible thrift store finds. We hit up HardOff and other spots, discovering many retro games including a Super Famicom. Come see all the cool stuff we picked up!
In this video, we dive deep into the aisles of every collector’s paradise: a Japanese Hard Off store. From boxed consoles that were never released in the US to “junk bins” filled with classic cartridges for under $4, we are checking the current prices in Yen and comparing them to Western eBay listings. Watch as we spot a stunning Spice Orange GameCube, a rare MSX computer, and a controversial price tag on an original Game Boy. Is Japan still the holy grail for retro game collecting? Let’s find out!
