Hello, i'm soon of to Japan a couple of Weeks, mainly Kyoto/Tokyo. Are there any good retrogaming stores worth a visit? I know theres one called "super potato" in Tokyo, but any more??

My Japanese Mark 3 collection needs to grow;)

I kept this in my bookmarks because I too am going to Japan very soon. http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2011/07/hg101-guide-to-retro-game-shopping-in....

There's also a Super Potato in DenDenTown in Osaka which has a fair amount of Mark III games. Probably lots of other shops but I've lost track of places/names not having been for a long time.
Places like the Famicom Shop chain has retro games but they are quite expensive and often in stupidly bad sunfaded condition.

(Champion Ice Hockey is a very cheap game in Japan, almost the cheapest SG-1000 game)

Yes, that's what i meant, sorry.(Again:)

How much? Including notices + white box..?

Bumping this oldish topic if you don't mind...I wrote that retro game shopping piece, I don't suppose they actually put a price tag on it several months later, did they? I so wanted it...

Why wouldn't they? (If you're talking about Space Slalom)

Nah, talking about the Alex Kidd board game...when I was there last summer, they wouldn't sell it because it wasn't tagged.
