![Game Hunting in Japan? Plan a ROAD TRIP! [Guide]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QfJWkMbo-1Y/mqdefault.jpg)
Let me know if you like these Game Hunting VLOG videos...because we have about 8 other gaming stores in my area! A few of them opened up in the last few years and are new to me.
Absolutely love these videos! 🎮
Yeah, new game hunting location finds are always exciting!
Love these videos, definitely do more of them.
These videos = amazing treasures! Never know what you will find. Love this. Looking forward to more
It satisfies our game hunting cravings by watching you go to them, almost as if we are there with you.
That is so painful when you have a person looking over your shoulder when you are looking at items in a cabinet.
It is but many of those are expensive, and so small that they'd easily be stolen.
Blame people that steal in the past Walmart didn't have glass cases either
I don't condone it obviously, but if you are going to steal, steal from the greedy big multi-million/billion companies, like a Walmart. Not the little guy who's trying to make it week-by-week.
It's the worst. It also makes you feel super anxious even though you have no intention of stealing anything
It is necessary!
Sadly, thieves have made things bad for everyone.
Ahh, the feeling when you find a store that's been under your nose without even know it! The initial walk-in and going into the "mission" mode is definitely something else.
Thumbs up for supporting your local area stores. Great finds MJR, have a good Friday!
Lol "mission mode" 😂👍
I know the feeling well. This January I finally took notice of a thrift store chain in my area known as GCF which is basically a small goodwill. Three of their stores are located near my house. The closest being about 4 minutes away.
There games, movies, and music are almost consistently priced at $0.69 per disc. They normally get PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii games, but sometimes they will have a few DS, 3DS, PSP, PS Vita, and Gamecube games in stock. The only time they raise the price on a game is if it's for a newer console like the PS4 and Xbox One.
I had everything as a kid and my mother sold my gaming stuff when I went to college in late 90s. Because of your channel I have started collecting again. Thank you for the inspiration and keep rocking Metal Jesus
Same thing happened to me when i got here to USA, i sold all my games back in Cuba because of budget, and since i started watching collectors videos like this one, i couldn't help it 😅 so now i have recovered most of my old games and consoles, and will continue to clect more!!
Same here. Feels bad man.
I have not, but i love to se collector and love when theyr faces light up when they see something rare or something they really want. Brings me joy somehow...
I feel your pain. My grandma did me dirty because I quote" wasn't using them anymore " damn her. Bye bye NES and genesis with about 60 games.
Wish I had your life as a kid
That's my case on your title screen. Thank you for the continued business. It sucks not seeing you and other interesting people buying stuff from me at the various video game shows this year so this case and Ebay is where stuff has been going. I'm restocking next week and will throw some good stuff in there.
The best time to hit this place is between the 7th and 10th days of the month. This is when vendors get their checks from the Antique Pavilion and often restock.
The first case you featured is owned by a guy that imports lots of neat stuff from Japan and has a booth in there with crazy amounts of Ultraman stuff.
The guy that runs the Lake City Toy Show also has a booth in there.
Hey Nick! Thanks for the info. Hopefully this video will send some more business your way and I'll definitely be back in. 🤘
I was in this video, I was the lady who opened the game case for you. Please give shout me out. I love clout.
Honestly, this video amongst your other gaming pickups makes me wish I was in Seattle. Here in NY they jack up the prices to an insane degree, even before Covid.
King The German Shepherd I’m your son. Please come home
@@KingTheGermanShepherd I'm that head tingler thing. I now live with MJs wife. Which is nice
"Right off the bat you can tell im a man on a mission.". Damn straight. you got up those stairs so quickly i swear i heard the Rocky theme.
LOL 😂
eye of the tiger, its the thrill of the find,
searching much for the gems in the shadows
and the last known survivor, the last of its kind
can only be found, with the eye of the tiger
@@tzovlask that's the theme from rocky 3. I meant gonna fly now by Bill conti that plays while he's running up the stairs during the training montage in the original.
@@AlsoCuteAndFLUFFY yehah I know, I just adapted the lyrics to suit MJ
@@tzovlask fair enough. I dont actually know the lyrics to eye of the Tiger, so i didn't catch that.
Jason -- this really has nothing to do with THIS particular video, but I just want to thank you for continuing to put out very entertaining and positive content over the past four months. Watching one of your vids always helps to put a smile on my face during these @#$% difficult times.
You're very welcome! I've always wanted to help bring positivity to the gaming community and not focus on drama and stupid rumors like so many other channels. Have a great weekend, my friend 😎
I am with you. Jason is very positive and i am thankful for his channel.
I couldn't handle the employee just standing there watching and waiting for me to finish looking through the games
Trust me it sucks especially if you want to look ata lot
the next level in antique malls most of the time they just sit there and watch everyone on the cameras. If you are in there you are being looked at in some way by one of the staff they dont have to be standing next to you
@the next level Damn dude lol. I think most of us hate being stared at while we look through games, feeling rushed by what you assume is an impatient employee. Glad you're better than the rest of us.
the next level bro shutup
I mean she had to close the glass door back and lock it...that’s why she was standing there. Small businesses are really struggling right now and have to be very careful with high theft items. I’m sure MJR didn’t mind.
"She's excited about the tingler for some reason"
LMAOO that one was funny
bo jackson “Mevsee hot girl me turn into a dog with meat in front of him”
Fucking loser

Do more of these. Love the game hunting in the wild.
I live in the UK and there's a shop inside my local shopping centre called 'The Antique Loft' so i decided to go in one day, let's just say, Metal Jesus you would have a field day! so many retro and new games/consoles! original, modded, restored! games galore!!
Which city in UK?
Yeah would love to know where?
It appears to be just outside Matlock in Derbyshire - it must be in that textile mill that was converted into some sort of shopping centre that I've often passed but never been in!
As soon as I have a job and a car again I'm going...
@@Xoferif of all the cities in the UK I was hoping it was mine. Sadly not
Lucky you. We don't have anything like that in London.
Hey Metal Jesus, let a guy know when you're heading into the "wild" of Seattle. 😅
Mine was the case with the Sega Mini Tower (0721). I've been lazy since the pandemic but I'm filling up the case up with Japanese Imports I brought home from my last trip to Japan tomorrow (Sunday 8/2). Plus some nice rarer titles for the game hunters.
Thanks for the video! And thanks for commenting on the good prices. 😁
5:21 ...and then Metal Jesus spoketh and summonedeth an employee and said let thy games go! ...and there was much rejoicing for X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter
LOL 😂
Amen and Hallelujah!
O yeah he spoketh goode
Do a new pickup video with Reggie, we need it 😬😬
yeah and with montages of Reggie driving his beat-up car around the Seattle highways as in a 70's "Dirty Harry" film, would be epic xD
YESS We want Reggie Jason :)
@@SimonBannow didn't know he got it back from street fighter 2
Yessss we need it
I agree
I haven't watched Reggie's video recently...
I miss him so much
That's cool to know you're a Stephen King fan. I actually live in the town here in Maine where he was born and where a lot of the stories were born from local locations and situations. I love these type of antiques places. You never know what you'll find.
In uncertain times watching Metal Jesus go game hunting is something that will always calm me down. Also wanted to add a thank you as I watched the Amiga pick up video you did recently and it bought back some good memories of my dad who passed away from Covid-19 in April. Mainly because he used to look at the games on the Amiga and then look for a version for the Atari 520ST we had. Keep up the great worjk and fun content and thank you again. From Dan M (a fellow metalhead and game lover)
Part of my collection came from a store called "Video Palace." They got all sorts of games, but they have ps2/xbox for 4 for 10. They got quite a bunch of games, and the owner is an OG to me, owning it in the mid 80s, the fact that he used to collect neo geo games, and hes generally helpful. Its a sick brick and mortar store
Me and my friend Kaja are watching this now ❤️ so many games in here I've never heard of, I love game hunting videos.
I live in a game collecting "desert": small town in Finland. There's a couple of flea markets and one game store. Pretty rarely make any real finds. I've acquired most of my collection on line. So I'm a little bit jealous of you, Jesus... but on the other hand, wit access to games like that I'd be constantly flat broke!
Where I live isn't amazing for collecting. You can get retro games but they're always expensive
There is no such thing as collecting “deserts”. There is a thing call the Internet now
@@truthsocialmedia Yeah, as I said I've bought most of my stuff on line. But nothing beats the joy of coming across a bargain at a flea market. Like that one time I got an Amiga 500, an RGB monitor and ten kilos (about 500 disks) of games... for 20 bucks!
I'm an old gamer from 1980-2005 time. Took a brake and now getting back into gaming again. Love your videos with your crew!
supporting local business is very important. i love this series of videos meatljesusrocks. more of this type of content please
More videos like this man these are cool! You never know what you're gonna run into haha
Now I gotta check out my local antique shops for treasures!
Watching your videos on my way home from work is pure bliss, thanks for all your creative work Metal Jesus!
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and Lament of Innocence (the other 3D one that came out for the PS2) are both incredible games IMO.
agreed -- I have both. May just have to revisit those again very soon.
I love Curse of Darkness. It was nice to see it get some love in the Netflix series
AGREED !
Yeah I loved both of those castlevania games. I especially enjoyed curse of darkness because of all the branching "evolutionary" paths your innocent devils could take it was really fun I poured hours of my early teens into that game, good find metal jesus.
I agree as well. I am replaying Lament of Innocence and Aria of Sorrow.
I love this place! So many gems in there. Used to frequent the Antique Pavilion when I lived up in Shoreline, most of the time just to browse and look at the cool stuff.
This spot in Shoreline was my and my wife's favorite place to go on the weekend. There is also a great selection of comics!!!
I went there right after seeing this video, I didn't get anything from the game case, but my wife bought a nice mug.
Pretty sure that tingler joke went right over everyone’s head 😂
Especially appropriate as it's a head massager. Those are excellent.
I missed it as I was watching the video while playing ghost of Tsushima. What time did he say it?
NVM I found it. That was not subtle lol, if that went over your head you're either 13 or you are very very very naieve.
dhostetler35 Not this guy 🤣🤣🤣👌🏻
Honestly the first thing that came to my mind was a weird sci-fi horror movie from the 50s called The Tingler. Not a half bad film by the way. Then the joke dawned on me.
I mean I've had one of these before and it's literally just a few thin wires that tickle/massage your scalp. It's not like those branded "back massagers" that everyone know are for something else.
Glad to see you’re healthy and still grindin. Thanks for the content MJR
This channel is so damn relaxing for me
Wow, I just discovered your channel from this video. As a local to this region, a fellow Star Wars fan, metal lover, and gamer; this channel looks amazing! Thank you for the store recommendation. It looks incredible, and I'll most certainty check it out. Best wishes and stay safe in these uncertain times. Happy gaming, Metal Jesus!
i really love the videos where he goes game hunting
I love how u still live ur life in the past. Vhs tapes and records idk anyone who still uses those today. I can see why u love ur old games and old things in general. It’s so u. It suits u well
“Antique Pavilion” is basically a glorified term for a Flea Market.
Yeah, here they are often called "Peddlers Malls" and they really really suck for the most part. I've wasted countless hours looking through many in my city and only finding junk. This one he found looks really nice in comparison.
I miss our flea market,
@@aaronpatterson4944 These days everyones on the up&up so the good stuff is always gone. Some people actually get the stores to cal them when they get new gaming stuff in stock. Garage sale hunting is the same way now cause the internet, gotta get there bright and early on the first day to get the good deals. I got the new God of War for 5$ last year.
Hi Metal Jesus, im Federico from Roma Italy , i always go to the second-hand Market , a lot of games and system for a very low price . Basically my entire Original Xbox collection was bought at this market. Recently i pick Batman begins 3.50€ Matrix path of Neo 3.50€ Top Spin 1.50€ and Swat global strike team 2.00€
From the title I thought he was gonna go break into one of his friends' houses. If he took a couple games each time they'd never notice :p
This is how fleemarkets work in Finland. You rent a table to sell your "stuff". In summertime we have flee markets outside, but those are rare. Mostly we have two days of good weather in summer.
Suomalaisia täällä😲
@@Pettumuussi Onko siinä jotain ihmeellistä, jos itsekin kerran olet täällä? :D
@@Pettumuussi Torilla tavataan.
Olisi mukavaa, jos Suomessa olisi Portland Retro Gaming Expon kaltaisia tapahtumia.. sitä odotellessa..
I hope you picked up that Pantera VHS my dude!
You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're takin' over this town
Watching your videos makes me soo happy to see that you bring life to consoles that are 20 years old. Thanks for all the amazing content. Thanks to you i bought a psp and downloaded tons of psp games and ps1 games👍🏻
I did kinda get a Terminator vibe as you were entering that store, a bit frightening.
Looks like a really great store and the part about "them" pricing the items correctly/or fairly is so damn important.
I've been there, this place is certified cool af. Its way bigger than you can even imagine and theres all sorts of interesting stuff to look at. definitely a great way to spend a rainy fall afternoon
@Major Gear I do believe so! There's something for everyone.
Someone upgraded his thumbnail game. Well done, sir!
I love your channel and just wanted to say keep it up :)
Since I've become a dad my backlog has become massive. Your channel celebrating older games connects with my undying love for good games :)
Thanks! Will do!
im so glad i kept my megaman legends 2 copy kinda hard to find a replacement case tho
Awesome. My favourite videos of yours are 1) Pickups! 2) Challenges (buy for $10 or less, etc)! 3) Game Hunting VLOGs! 4) Game Room Tours! 5) Reviews. Thanks for the awesome work, Mr Jesus.
The Tingler massages your head, Urm of course it does.
Very cool dude. It always nice ti find those type of places for games and other stuff.
I don't think many people are going to be traveling to Seattle any time soon.
Isn't it called Soros Town now?
Yeah I always wanted to go, but now it is off my list. Sad times
dude, a little off-topic, but I have been on a Metal Jesus binge over the past two days. I've consumed and enjoyed your content for four or five years, but I have spent the past weekend revisiting your buying guides and hidden gems videos. It's been a weekend Drunken Master Paul would be proud of. Thanks for you're unfailing positive attitude. It's a nice thing to have around.
8:15 Yeah, sure! That's a *"head massager"* allright! 😂🤣
Lol, hence the excitement!
I grew up and live in the seattle area too, and i used to frequent that swap meet when i was a kid. In the 80's, me and my buddy would ride bikes there and look for old albums, 8 tracks, and whatever else we could find. Good times.
8:15 "Massages your... head..." sure, lol!
Trust, I got one of those Tinglers from Spencer's Gifts a few years ago, you can't do anything with it besides run it over your scalp like a weird hairbrush (it's a bunch of metal legs sticking out of a handle)
@@ToruKun1 haha, I know, it was just funny how that was included and a bit awkward
Dude you are walking like Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th 6. Lol. Awesome video as usual, brother.
Legend Of Kage came from NES, where It has the First Game Of the "series?"
He pronounced it wrong too right? It’s Kage like cage right?
Quite popular game in Poland,often relased on pirate multi-carts.
Thanks for letting me go with you man. I needed that even if I didn't buy anything.
My secret game hunting spot -- 24 hours after upload, empty shelves.
Right?! But that sellers prices aren't very good. No different from the places I already know about
Yeah it’s no fun hunting when they look up prices on the internet. That’s why I usually stick to garage sales so much better deals.
Castlevania Curse of Darkness is GUARANTEED hours of fun. I've been playing these past couple weeks. You'll be hooked, Metal Jesus
wow, Washington State is a goldmine for game collectors.
thanks for continuously posting for us to stay entertained during these tough times!
Wasn't ready to see hot lady at the end of the video. When you say +Pickups this is what you mean, Metal Jesus? :)
She's not standing on a box either
😂
This pavilion reminds me of Jacobs Market in Cardiff, Wales, UK.
The many traders in Jacobs have various antiques, movie posters, old guitars, vinals, comics, furniture and many more collectables. 2 different gaming stores began in there and have since expanded and moved into bigger, more permanent premises. If you're a collector of stuff, it's worth a visit.
I'm never this early
Some of my best finds were at a used book, cd, movie and game chain called 2nd and Charles. Love that place
12:10 she looks cute
tell me why I was about to comment the same thing.
Agreed
cringe
Love these dude, more please! Nothing quite like the thrill of the hunt!
Just making this so someone won’t say first
Mike UK it’s irony
So glad you've been taking us out of the game room, and seeing Seattle. My family lives in Everett, and I rarely get to see them, so it's nice to see the area.
It's nice to see him practicing basic human decency in a pandemic
It's a governor's order to make mask mandatory in WA. He would have been turned away if he didnt.
Yeah and it's stupid we have to point it out when someone does it. It should be a giving, wear👏a👏 FUCKING👏MASK!
@@Txur_Itan i know but people are stupid
@@shiniestaipom123 Trust me... I know, in my country (French Canadian), we have a total civil war over mask wearing and I'm just fucking tired of it, this shouldn't even be a discussion ffs. But hey, have a nice day, sorry for the rant!
@@Txur_Itan i shouldn't be complaining that much I'm in one of the better off states(New York)
Every thing about this channle is awesome.I love your narrative voice,all fun game places you go to,your knowledge so on awesome channle again.
Man Metal Jesus I love your vidoes! Always so positive and somehow I seem to learn something new in every video. Never quit posting!
The tingler is amaaazing for a better effect aproach someone from the back and do it without them knowing, its a TRIPY FEELING
Metal Jesus: " I don't know what pavilion means?"
Hewlett-Packard: Bruuuuuuh?!?!?
I love the pickup videos where you're out and about! Glad to see that you're staying safe while doing it too!
Glad you like them!
I've been to this place a few times in the past, and totally missed the gaming items. Time for a revisit!
My god I’ve been trying to find bushido blade for 10 years now!!! I forgot the name till today. You don’t realize how much you just completed a chapter in my life. now I’m on the hunt!!!
I pass this every time I go to Another Castle, never had a clue you could find this much treasure at a Burlington Coat Factory 🤣
Me too! LOL
Yeah, you can’t sleep on those antique malls. I love wandering around those things and finding random video games here there and everywhere. I found a copy of College Hoops 2K8 for five dollars at one of those recently. That’s like an $80-$90 game!!! Antique malls and Peddlar malls are so much fun.
Sounds like you found an amazing hidden gem! Thank you for sharing with us! Love the videos can't wait to see more.
We have a couple of these here in point pleasant nj. Same type of set up. I go in about every 2 months to check out what's new. Always a fun time to look around.
Places like this and flea markets is where I find a lot of my big box pc games.
I find there are two kinds of antique store video game vendors. People who sell video games for a living and already have a manned store somewhere, they put an unmanned booth on the side to widen their reach. The other kind is antique vendors who happen to have videos games and don't really care to know much about it. I love these people. Last summer I got my hands on a box of colecovision games that were in a dirty box, behind a pile of junk.
jI'm about to go back to my game store for the first time in awhile. Good to have game stores up and functional again! Makes me happy!
Seeing that two crude dudes game unlocked memory’s I forgot I had. I loved that game
It’s been crazy to watch my city go from a desert to having 3 retro game shops and a handful of thrift shops that have games. Because of that, it’s super competitive with other collectors to find stuff! That, and the pandemic has made many of the game prices skyrocket!
These stores are always cool to check out. I used to have one not too far from my house and it was great to wander around in.
Great vid dude! Lovely to see some out and about content. Boy does that place know the value of games
Those head "tinglers" are amaaaaazing, they're also great for itching in your ears. 😅
Always love your shopping vids.
Every now and then I check on metal jesus too make sure hes doing okay, glad to see him still goin hard
Checking this place out after work! Woo-hoo! Loves these kind of videos!
Have fun!
Found a hidden shop like that here in Tulsa in a shopping center full of antique stores, the shopping center is hidden away so you would never notice unless you knew the road, and then the store itself is mostly furniture and antiques but at the back they have a huge retro game section.
I passed this kind of store as well until I found out the treasures inside. I have a pair of these right by my house, that were hiding great Vinyl, vintage games, cool antiques, and useful household stuff.
Awesome game hunting video. The excitement of finding new places to hunt for video games is always great. That Legend of Kage 2 on the Nintendo DS looks cool. Keep rocking Metal Jesus! 🤘😎🎮
Love watching these! Can’t get out to do any hunting currently. So it’s fun to watch.
i know i'm a bit late but i really love watching all your pickups related videos (because i discover some great new games from them, also side note, i got Sky Force Reloded after seeing it on your Switch Shoot Em Ups video and i love it)
DMP is like beer. didn't like it the first time, but now it's like how did we live without it. we need more of him!
I finally checked out Aurora Antique Pavilion today! Got Japanese copies of Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and a (what I believe is) COMPLETE-IN-BOX Japanese Super Bomberman! Thanks for highlighting this awesome place, I can't wait for my next visit!
Oooh, these antique mall/flea market setups are always good for at least one video game stall. I'll have to check this one out.
Love these types of markets. Lots of cool stuff. I can spend hours just looking around.
Zone of the Enders 2 was great! Also, those Pantera videos were really cool.
