    holy moly that anime exhibit? installation? whatever it is it's freaking amazing! definitely a lot of names I recognize from stuff I've seen. Correct about 'Argus no Senshi' that was Rygar here in the states, funny enough that was the last PS2 game that I imported! (although I think I'm going to fix that soon!!) kinda stuck at the moment though not sure where I'm going next, haha. funny enough also bought tetris battle gaiden at one point yeah definitely a neat puzzler I need to go back to.

    I would think the stores in Aki get hit hard. I wonder if they price things differently outside of the tourist area. Also I am still amazed at the condition of used games in Japan. They look like they are fresh from the package.

    • @MadPanicGaming
      @MadPanicGaming  ปีที่แล้ว

      Prices in random Hard Offs is pretty unpredictable, there's not much uniformity among them. Super common games are always 300 or 500 yen, but aside from that it's all over the place. Akiba is typically more expensive overall, but the prices are more predictable because they're catering to a more informed clientele.
