>>386376964
They're not that retarded. Pre-owned shops just have to add a significant markup to remain profitable.

When they sell something to you 5000 yens, the original seller gets about 2000 yens. Rest is costs from the shop (labour, land, utilities) and taxes.

Land isn't exactly cheap in Japan, so don't expect to find good deals in touristic place like Akiba, Nakano or Denden Town. It's better to buy online.

>>386377194
I've seen JAV threads before so that's not new to me.
REAL ANAL SMELL BOTTLE is though.

>>386376964
What's weird is it's always the main, popular games that are priced high. Go to 2nd hand stores with lot of N64 games for example. Mario 64, Smash 64, Zelda OoT, all over priced, but they're games everyone would already own, but a game like Blast Corps. is less than half the price.

That's why going to Japan to buy the anime tie-in games is an ideal trip for me. They're cheap as fuck, who'd go there to buy Japanese Zelda?

Those about around for a while. You have the same for piss, sweat, "schoolgirl scent" (the fuck is that) and so forth.

It's just extremely cheap perfume sold at the price of gold (when you consider the price per liter). They just figured out that slapping an anime girl in a pink box would just sell anything anyway.

>http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-10-08-what-happened-to-japans-once-bountiful-vintage-game-stores
>The influx of foreigners has had more than a diversifying effect on Tokyo's vintage game stores. Last year, Wired's Chris Kohler posted a photograph onto social media showing the shelf where Super Potato's PC Engine games once lived. It looked like the scene of a recent looting; only a clattering of discs remained. "Akihabara is being scoured clean," he wrote. A year later, I popped my head inside to find that the shelves have been restocked, but the prices have risen precipitously, presumably to ensure there's still something around to sell to the waves of cooing customers. Throughout Tokyo, the cost of sought-after vintage games has risen to match those found on eBay, the place where, for years, savvy Westerners would sell the games they found in Japan with a fat mark-up.

>>386377351
>Mario 64, Smash 64, Zelda OoT, all over priced, but they're games everyone would already own, but a game like Blast Corps. is less than half the price

It's because those games aren't priced for collectors. They're aimed at the guys who see it in a window and think 'shit, I remember having a total blast with Goldeneye back in the day'. They don't know you can get it for pennies if you look around, so they think, 30 bucks for a bit of nostalgia? Yeah, that doesn't sound too bad. Then they dig the old N64 out of the basement, fire it up for half an hour, maybe tell their old friends they got that game they used to spend hours playing back in high school and forget all about it again.

>>386378472
Retro shops can be a bit overpriced in Japan, especially in the most famous tourist areas in Tokyo and Osaka. Also, the market for retro games is more systematized with big retro games store chains, amazon sellers and yahoo auctions. The latter is the closest thing to ebay, and generally where you can find the best deals on lots etc. if you're patient.

>>386377132

I don't care if you're rich or poor, you're just plain stupid. You are literally spending money on something you can get for free, with no extra strings attached. If you were really rich you'd be smart with your money and stockpile it for better things instead of fucking free videogames, but no, do go ahead and continue to waste your wage dollars on cheap cardboard boxes and shrinkwrapped plastic, I'm sure mama is turning over in her grave knowing you'll amount to nothing in the future.

First off, you don't need to understand japanese for a game like Zelda 1, which most people have beaten several dozen times and which have full translations available if you for some reason get stuck somewhere.

Blonde hair, blue eyes are exotic to Japanese. The Japanese often emulate Western ideals and fashion. My friend had a co-worker at design who was a face-character for Ariel from The Little Mermaid--she would often have people ask to touch her strawberry-red hair. My old boss was stationed in Okinawa, and they went nuts when they saw him sign his name in cursive.

Different ideals, different culture.

Play PSO2. I made lots of Japanese friends through that game alone. The Japanese otakus even go as far as sitting in the dedicated "foreign lobby" known as B-20 (Block #20) and even will approach you through private messaging.

However, Americans will American, and so, a lot of them stop coming around because us gaijin would say racist things whenever they (a Japanese player) spoke in public while in B-20.

We were also responsible for many Hackings. So the Japanese players started to completely hate the thought of filthy gaijins playing on their server.

Pretty much. Many people simply don't have space at all to buy and keep physical copies of books, manga and movies, and normalfags typically don't collect vidya either. But the funny thing is the nips don't seem to go digital at all either. They'll rent DVDs for a fucking dollar just to see it once and return it, and they'll sell the books they read immediately after finishing it.

Tourism is a fucking cancer and you should all kill yourselves

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

White people treat minorities in their countries like royalty! The fuck are you talking about. Go to France as a brown muslim and you'll get a home and healthcare for free.

Poors should not post their opinions.
Not our fault you never left your village.

Ranma was my first anime and finding out that Japanese and Chinese are completely different languages from this line was really shocking for a while.

>>386392074
My country is subject to cancerous tourism from first world countries, I have reason to be angry

>>386392169
Where do you live?

>>386392239
Thailand

>>386392239
Mexico

>>386392158
I'm surprised you weren't more shocked by the amount of bare tits.
I know I was, when I was younger.

>>386392305
I hate you.

Viajan con dinero, aguantalos un poco

I live in Japan. /v/ and /a/ made me into a weeb and I decided to move. Best decision I ever made. I don't even play much vidya nowadays though, I prefer reading and watching anime, maybe I'm getting old.

Me enojo porque van aqui sin conocimiento de las problemas en este pais,
y luego cuando regresen "DUURRR MEXICO IS NOT THAT BAD, LET'S GO AGAIN NEXT EYAR DURRRR"

>>386392518
It's 8am on a Monday in Japan. Why the hell aren't you at work?

>>386392518
post proof you live in anime land

>>386392681
It's commuting time.

>>A plethora of used NES/SNES/64 games for like $2-$5 that sell for 4X the market value
How? My understanding was that goodwill starting sending all the good shit off to be sold in their dedicated gaming stores or online, while only leaving a bunch of ps2/xbox original games in the stores.

Gomenasai, my name is Ken-Sama.

I’m a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)

I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!

I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Japan!

>>386382061
What store/where is this? I assume tokyo so I want to visit it next time I am there.

Are clueless tourists really that bad? Also how many people speak English in Mexico? I kinda wanted to visit, problems and all...

>>386392518
>calling yourself weeb
Kill yourself

>>386392518
How is it the best decision you've ever made? Everyone's been saying that if you live in Japan long-term, it's horrible. You get treated like a second-class citizen and never truly feel accepted. You're fine with dealing with that?

>>386392681
夏休み mah nigger

BEEP, Akihabara.

>>386383135
I met an indian from new york who studied japanese for 4 years, speaks fluently. Although he did get me lost in Kyoto because he can't read a fucking map.

Dude fucked a lot of japanese girls.

>>386392893
I live in the north, depends on the city. But mainly, almost no Mexican has knowledge of English. if you do go, please oh god, don't go to any of the resort towns where there's palm trees and beaches and shit or mexico city.

>>386392681
Who says I'm not?
>>386392704
Nah, it's hardly even that rare these days, tons of /v/aginas are living here now.
>>386392941
I'm just trying to fit in with the kids, man.
>>386392989
Well, there's a lot of caveats. If you're living in a first world country and have a comfortable lifestyle already, moving to Japan probably isn't the best option. Nor if you're a brainlet who can't even learn Japanese. There's hardly any discrimination if you can speak Japanese and aren't a thin skinned pussy though, which you shouldn't be if you like spending time on /v/ of all places

>>386392305
Fuck Thailand tho.
