There's a complete one without the box for 7980 and one with the box but no A/V cable for 6980.

Sadly no AES systems, just some fighting games. I've seen a few Neo Geo CD's but I don't think anybody really wants them.

My god...

Why don't you buy a banner to advertise your services?

>>4165461
I doubt I would make enough to pay for it. This is a hobby, not a business. I work full time on top of this which is why I'm so slow to get back to people sometimes. If I was advertising across multiple boards and suddenly got a lot of interest there's no way I would be able to keep up.

>>4165461
He doesn't make more than a bit of pocket change from this, anon.

>>4165473
This.
It's an untapped gold mine though.
Imagine if he posted his services on redit

How you doin' OP? Glad the thread is back.

So I finally gave in and started learning Japanese. I don't plan on moving to glorious Nippon or anything crazy, so there's pressure and I'll just see how it goes and whether I'll stick with it. I realize it requires a lot of time and studying.

So far I've learned Hiragana and Katakana. Hiragana aren't much use without grammar or vocabulary, but being able to read Katakana on billboards, packaging and manuals is surprisingly... fun? There's something oddly satisfying about reading and understanding.

My question is this: will this feeling last, or will everything become a tedious chore deep into the kanji?

Hahaha, cool thread.

Reminds me of how I've been studying Japanese for years, lived in Tokyo for a year and am moving back to Japan in 2018.

(Can't wait, desu.)

>>4165480
Not OP, but that depends on how you learn and how well you proceed.

>>4165437
That's weird, that's a boxed copy of Mystic Quest, not Final Fantasy USA. Wonder how that got there.

>>4165480
Kanji will probably become a slog no matter what. You need to try to find reading materials that interest you which will help them stick. Acquiring the Kanji is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for Japanese in my opinion since it's a large hurdle to overcome just to be able to start reading.

Katakana is convenient at first but eventually you'll wish they had just written a word in Japanese so you don't have to guess what foreign word they're trying to say.

>>4165493
That's funny, I hadn't noticed that. Occasionally you will see copies of foreign game for sale and as you'd expect the prices are inflated.

>>4165484
Again, I feel like strangling you every time you shoehorn this blogposting into yet another thread. Good for you, but nobody cares.

>>4165508
Thanks. Any tips on strategies to study kanji? What would be the next logical step after learning the kana, studying grammar first or building up a basic repository of vocabulary?

I know there is a thread on /jp/ about studying japanese, but it's mostly just people shitting on each other for using the wrong particles.

>>4165550
>>4165553
Take your love spat over to /int/ or /jp/ and leave Japanon's thread out of this.

>>4165553
>best possible advice drawn from my experience -> study
Gee wow thanks I sure didn't think of that one, captain obvious.

As your reading comprehension seems to be lacking, I will repeat what I said in my first post here: I am fully aware that it requires a lot of work, and I am also aware that I might just lose interest or simply lack the time to progress. I have bigger fish to fry in my life right now and I am being honest with myself here. This does not constitute a "failure" to me. I am the person who gets to define what does and does not constitute success as far as it comes to personal achievements.

If you read carefully, you'll also see that I wasn't asking YOU for advice, but OP.

Remember: No matter your "mastery" of their language, to them, you will always be just a gaijin.

>>4165558
You are absolutely right.

Sorry, I just hate everything about that guy. Something about this arrogant prick just really ticks me off. I'll stop replying to him now, he isn't worth the time and I don't want to shit this thread up any further.

>>4165521
>>4165521
Different methods work for different people. Some writing to practice stroke order can be good but I get bored with it pretty fast. What works for me is to learn the radicals (the pieces that make up each Kanji) first so that I have an idea of what the meaning probably is.

You probably know about this already but Remembering the Kanji by James Heisig is a good place to start (for remembering the meaning, not necessarily the reading)

I'm not really an expert on the language but if you have any other questions please feel free to email me. I appreciate that you're interested but I want to keep the thread focused on /vr/ things.

>>4165567
>you'll always be a gaijin
Unless you look Japanese, in which case you will be held to impossibly high standards from the moment you arrive. Being a guest in Japan isn't such a bad thing really.

>>4165571
Let's please avoid fighting in these threads. Even if someone is berating you the best thing to do is to just ignore them as they are trying to get a response out of you.

Out of curiosity, do you look into cabinets at all?

>>4166141
Sorry, I don't do this professionally so I only check what is available at retail stores.

Most of the retro cabinets I see are just running emulators, even in big cities like Tokyo and Osaka.

>>4165431
Yeah the CD is really shitty.
What about MVS?
I suppose those wouldn't be carried either

I approve of this thread and this idea.
Great pics op

>>4166560
I think I saw the stick for an MVS but not the system itself.

>>4165578
Thanks, I've also thought about learning radicals first. I like a structured approach to things, even if it means a bit more prep time. Final question on Kanji: Is stroke order necessary to know if I'll mostly be reading and rarely, if ever, writing? I've heard it makes it harder to look stuff up in dictionaries if skipped.

>please feel free to email me
Thank you for the offer, but I'll probably pass. I've gathered that you're a busy person, so better spend that time responding to request. I think what you're doing is great and don't want to impact that.

Also, excuse the Gaijin quote. I was lashing out at the other guy and I did not mean to depreciate your experience, on the contrary, I've got the impression you are quite confident in what you're doing and happy with your life in Japan.

To get things back on topic, for what price do FDS Cards usually sell? How do high profile games like Metroid/Castlevania/Zelda compare to the cheapest cards available (for writing backups)? I know about overwritten cards, but with a write enabled disk drive, that shouldn't pose a problem.

By the way, this is answering an old question but for those who are interested I can ship a Super Famicom with the cables and one controller for ¥2400 if you live in a country with epacket light service and ¥2800 if you don't.

Some anons had been waiting for me to find a cheaper shipping option.

If you don't mind saying, which areas in Japan do you usually shop?

>>4165480
>There's something oddly satisfying about reading and understanding.
Is this your first time learning foreign language or what.

>>4165372
Did you find retail thracia 776 yet?

>>4167619
No, I found a Super Famicom memory cartridge that has it installed but it doesn't have the Thracia label.

>>4167604
Stop being a jerk to that poor guy!

>>4167582
Do you think Akihabara is a secret? Countless tourists pass though it everyday.
https://retro-video-gaming.com/2014/05/10/retro-gaming-guide-to-akihabara-in-tokyo/

>>4167835
Unless you only have a chance to shop in Tokyo, Akihabara is a tourist trap. Be prepared to see a lot of nice things for higher prices.

>>4167835
I said nothing of the sort. I just didn't know which areas of Japan he went to to shop. I've not paid close attention to previous threads to see where he said he has/can go to for shopping.

>>4167641
Hmm too bad

I know the retail release works on a cart converter so it would work on my europoor snes

The memory cart i have no idea if would work
(even tho its mainly for my FE collection, i want to be able to play all my games as well)

Thanks for looking tho
Youre the best Jap-anon

>>4165447
Holy shit even in Japan Cotton games are priced through the fucking roof.

I honestly don't know why I expected otherwise, I'm just used to seeing eBay prices.

>>4165391
Is that Smash 64 complete in box? 'Cause that's crazy cheap.

>>4167925
Sorry, I live on the west coast and don't really go to famous places. Akiba and Den Den Town are alright but for good prices I prefer national and local secondhand chains.

OP i wish you were here a couple years ago before the canadian dollar went to shit, I havent bought anything online in years because of that. I always wanted tatsujin for the PC engine and a couple other games I dont have yet spriggan but there is no way in hell I would ever be able to afford it :'(

>>4168395
Yeah, they both are. This store tends to have the best prices. It's funny that cart only Sin & Punishment is ¥2900 because they had boxed copies for ¥3000 and ¥3200 a few months ago.

>>4168039
Games with a low language barrier tend to be pricey due to demand overseas. Shmups especially suffer from this. I still see a lot for less than eBay though, especially after you convert the yen to your currency.

how much is outrun on saturn?

>>4168890
Well you can always let me know. Something you want may turn up for cheap. Earlier this year I found a complete Tatsujin for Mega Drive for around ¥4000, maybe less, I can't quite recall.

>>4168962
¥2500 tax included. It says there are scratches on the disc but the standards for scratches here are pretty high and typically they are hard to see. It wouldn't be in the case if it didn't work.

I'll be going to Japan with friends in December, I barely know any Japanese but my friends are decent at it, should I bother learning any? Also, any tips on finding stores to buy retro games in?

>>4169667
No.

中古 - used
ゲーム - games

Look for these words.

>>4165451
>Bandai
Why am I not surprised?

>>4169667

learning katakana takes a day and it will help you a lot in terms of recognizing signs and stuff on menus, since most katakana words are just english words.

I wouldn't bother learning anything beyond that just for a trip unless you have a legitimate interest in the language and culture.

Do they have the soundtrack for Silent Scope: Bone-Eater on CD?

Have you seen any of these 2 colors? i wont mind if they have bad sticks i just want them in great shell condition.

>>4174026
I've seen orange intermittently for ¥1550 and emerald for around ¥2700 (maybe a little more). I don't know if anyone has them right now but they go in and out of stock not too infrequently.

If you don't care about sticks I might be able to get you an orange one for ¥500.

What's an msx2+ run for these days?

I just got back from a trip to Japan, was there for about three weeks.
These threads gave me some good advice on where to go. Didn't buy all that much, but it was a lot of fun to look at everything.
I was going to buy the JoJo game for PS1, but then I heard it was region locked so I didn't bother.

Thanks for making these threads OP

>>4174787
All PS1 and PS2 games are region locked. Just get Breaker Pro and Swap Magic nigga

>>4174460
Never ordered from Mandarake before so don't know how it is.
>>4174160
Anything below ¥8000, which may be impossible seeing how popular the character is and Fate/GO is.

>>4175285
Mandarake is good, my sister buys a lot of stuff from there

>>4174772
Not sure, I haven't seen one but probably at least $150-$200 if it's complete and in good condition.

I'm glad that I could help. Did you find anything good during your trip?

>>4175285
>Never ordered from Mandarake before so don't know how it is.

Mandarake is great for finding rare or discontinued stuff at decent prices. Its a chain with stores throughout Japan, they package well & shipping is reasonable. You wont find that Nendo cheaper online.

>>4176172

Actually just Tokyo and Osaka with one in Nagoya but it's still a good website to check.

>>4177028
Japanese people don't like secondhand goods. They think that if something isn't new that the quality must be bad. The secondhand stores often emphasize how "eco friendly" buying secondhand is.

In the case of retro games in particular, collecting games just isn't a big thing here due to space and tastes. I think prices would be even lower if not for international demand.

>>4177080
Sure, I'm willing to send stuff to wherever people may be.

>>4177489
Just a shame I can't speak in moonrunes otherwise I'd look into buying some things.

>>4177648
OP here, my native language is English and you seem pretty good at communicating in that. If you're confused about a sign or anything feel free to ask.

Have you seen CIB copies of the Ace Attorney Trilogy for GBA and Metroid Fusion? Would be interested in both if the price was decent.

OP, if you happen to run across an SNES Gouketsuji Ichizoku, would you mind telling me how much is it?

>>4178965
I think I've seen Fusion but I don't remember the price. I haven't seen Ace Attorney on GBA though.

>>4179247
Sure, I've seen Groove on Fight for Saturn at ¥3,200 but I don't know about the Super Famicom version. Does it matter if it's cart only?

>>4179963
Cart only is fine too.

Is it true Sonic games are super rare in Japan?

>>4180349
Not from what I've seen. I see sonic all the time across all platforms and even found Sonic for Game Gear for ¥100 recently.

OP here, I'm going to be unavailable for a day or two because of work but when I get back I will upload more pictures.

If you have a question go ahead and ask but I might not get back to you until Sunday.

Since everybody seems to be excited about OP.

What makes him different from the appox. other 5000 french, spanish, american and other gaijins living in Japan and selling retro games?

>>4182039
Normally I ignore these posts but I am going to go ahead and give you an answer.

This isn't a business, it's a hobby. People can see exactly how much something is and no what it will cost before they request it. There is no haggling involved and with only a 13% commission plus PayPal fees the money is usually pennies, especially considering the time it takes to pick things up and send them. The idea is to have a thread to show people interesting /vr/ things while also giving them a chance to pick something up for less than they would find it online. If you have websites or services for finding retro games and hardware from Japan then by all means feel free to post them here. If I can't save people money then I would rather they find things elsewhere.

>>4182096


was just genuinely asking - since I know about a dozen people living in Japan doing the same.

some hiding the prices with their thumbs (looking at you Steve Bailey) or adding a price-based markup on the games.

so by all means - continue doing what you do. wasn't trying to discredit you.

Hey man some time ago I asked you about s-video cables for nintendo and you told me about ones in bad shape, have you seen others in good condition?

Are Mega Drives able to play Genesis games? I'd love to know cheap I could get one if they are compatible, but maybe even if it isn't. Or maybe a Saturn, I dunno.

>>4180449

Ah. OK, Ive just been looking into Sonic's popularity in japan and Ive kept reading internet comments that he is unpopular over there and some guy claimed that he couldn't find Sonic stuff when he tried. I do know that the Megadrive wasn't too successful over there and Sonic and Knuckles didn't sell to hot according to this site.

http://www.vgchartz.com/game/6424/sonic-amp-knuckles/

But ultimately, I couldn't find too much information on the subject.

>>4182156
Yes, if you remove some plastic in the cartridge slot. However, some games have region locking software, so you may need to use a Game Genie or something for that.

>>4182176
>VGChartz

Anon, no... they pull numbers out of their asshole

Have you ever seen a set of bandai original yugioh cards before konami started making them?

OP,

Have you seen a cheap GB Light anywhere? I don't care if they're a little banged up, a good screen and buttons would be enough. I'd probably spring for a gold one that was under 5000¥

I assume you've gotten this request before, and I highly doubt you'd find it but just in case, could you look for LSD: Dream Emulator?

>>4182105
Sorry for being super defensive, I ask questions like that sometimes too. I was just getting sensitive because I started these threads to help people, and of course make a little extra money from my hobby, but I was hoping to spread goodwill on the board.

>>4182116
Not for Nintendo I'm afraid but if anyone is interested I recently found an official Sony Playstation S-video cable and a HORI Playstation S-video cable for 100 yen each.

>>4182156
What this anon said >>4182828 you would have to modify the cartridge slot to get it to work. All Saturns are region locked but you probably knew that already. If you have an Action Replay Plus you can get around region locking though.

>>4183540
I've never even looked but a few of the stores I go to have huge trading card sections. That's really out of my wheelhouse though so if there is anything you are looking for I need you to give me some specifics and the price point that you're looking for. It's likely that the stores will charge a premium but it might still be cheaper than what you would find online.

>>4183790
Quite a few Game Boy Pockets but no Game Boy Light's yet. I will post them in the thread if I do.

>>4184071
I have gotten that request and unfortunately neither that game nor Germs (another oft requested title) have showed up yet but I suppose it's a matter of time.

I will dump some photos later, I don't have a lot more but I want to at least add something new to the thread for people to look at.

Yes, actually hand spinners are super popular here too. I've even seen them in gachapon machines and at summer festival stalls.

>>4185296
I see, well if you ever see the s-video cables I hope you can pick them up, I'm sure me or other person will be interested on them
Thank you for the reply

What the heck? I should have checked my auto correct before posting.

I've added some new pictures to the photo drive but it's mostly just games and no big shots of the store or shelves this time. I've posted those before though and not much has changed.

For the anon asking about Ace Attorney I did see the third game for GBA in the box for 540 yen after tax.

I also saw Thunderforce II and II for Mega Drive but they were cart only.

That's it for this time, I can try to get more store photos next time if anyone is interested. As always feel free to make requests the thread or email me at [email protected].

Or if you don't have any requests but just have questions or comments about the /vr/ scene in Japan feel free to post them. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Thanks as always being my analog for window shopping in Japan. I forgot the link to the base gallery directory for older images from prior visits. I understand they may no longer be in stock but I just like looking at them.


I am curious to the Wonderswan titles behind the one >>4186975 displays. Are they all the same one?

How much for the Gamecube Twilight Princess pictured in >>4186964 upper right?


Since I have a whole laundry list of games I want, I feel it is unfair to e-mail you a list of "everything" so I just ask about items in individual pictures.

>>4186889
oh fuck i really want that gameboy micro. its region free right?

>>4187569
Correct.

>>4187514
No, actually there are a few different games and I believe they had some in the box (Nobunaga no Yabou). I couldn't take everything off the pegs though because of the time and space required. I often see Digimon games for Wonderswan but not the one that got released in English.

I don't remember the price on Twilight Princess sadly. If it's like the other stores near me then probably between 5000-6000 yen but it could be closer to 4500. I will have to check again when I go back, sorry I couldn't answer.

I appreciate your using the pictures as it can be difficult for me to track shopping lists but if there is something you are particularly interested in feel free to send me an email as it might show up eventually and I can just get it while I'm out.

How much does a famicom recorder go for?

>>4188756
The main Wonderswan game I am looking for is Klonoa. A Makaimura or Guilty Gear Petit are secondary. I know, games with minimal Japanese and action based are more costly but my tastes for games on the system get pretty limited when I haven't played any Digimon nor watch/read Bandai sponsored anime/manga.

If it is at that lower end of prices, I'd consider that pretty fair for a Japanese Gamecube Twilight Princess at this time. I'm just looking for an excuse to utilize a Japanese GameCube.

The real things that I had wanted, which I remembered seeing from the base directory of the gallery in older pictures were a set of Saturn games like Sol Divide, Dodonpachi, and Strikers 1945. Seeing the new pictures, I missed out as it appears others have already bought them. I'll stay on the lookout and hopefully I will be in position to ask for them.

Once again, thanks! Hope to e-mail you soon.

>>4190354
I haven't seen Kronos or Guilty Gear but I did see a Makaimura with the box and instructions for ¥5,400.

Strikers 1945 and Dodonpachi turn up occasionally so hopefully they will show up again soon.

I will try to find out about that copy of Twilight Princess.

>>4190805
"Klonoa" autocorrected to "Kronos." Sorry about that.

Hey OP, do you, as a gaijin, get funny looks from all the game storeowners?

>>4190819
Maybe for half a second but it's not like they haven't seen a foreigner before. My money spends the same as anyone else's and I'm probably one of there higher spending regulars.

>>4190916
Any progress with those supergameboy 2s?
How much does Super Mario World 2 go for nowadays?

you are mai nigga

>>4165372
you are really scum for trying to make a profit out of taking these games out of japan. it's bad enough that people go there to buy games and leave with them for their own purposes

do you think this well just goes on forever?

OP, you're living the dream. How often do you come across Resident Evil stuff? I saw in the pictures you posted, there was two GameCube ports of 2/3.

>>4191056
There were some for a little more than ¥3000 I think, I will try to get some pics. How do you feel about that price point?

>>4191124
I see 1-3 for PlayStation and Code Veronica for Dreamcast all the time for really cheap, like ¥300-¥500 cheap. I've also seen quite a few Tokyo Mariu airsoft gun replicas.

Is there anything in particular you'd like pics of?

>>4191085
May ask for another for I can play with my friend because playing virtual on without twin sticks is awful.

>>4191124
>OP, you're living the dream.

Being an English teacher in Japan is hardly living the dream.

>>4191539

OP what's the general prices for N64 and GC controllers?

Dude, can you get a GBA like this guy here?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J_VEFiYR_M

Friggin $4 ??

Are you KidShouryuken?

>>4191528
Sure, there's another one in the junk section for ¥500 but without the box. Just send me an email.

>>4191724
¥500 if I find useable ones in the junk section and ¥1550-¥2580 if I buy the "nice" ones. It's a bit harder to find cheap N64 controllers though.

>>4191904
I don't usually see GBAs that cheap unless they're in junk but they usually have damaged screens. Normally I'd say they are around ¥1580-¥2480. The brighter backlit GBA was never released in Japan so it would have to be modded.

>>4191929
Is that a YouTube personality?

bamp

>>4192524

I see a ¥2000 GBA SP up there, that seemed nice.
But I'm looking for the regular GBA.

Getting both is alright, too. A good condition working GBA, and an SP just for the backlit screen. I'll mod the SP screen to the regular GBA.

The Original SP screen is better than a Chinese AGS-101 replacement, which goes for $40-50, crazy.

2x ¥2000 doesn't seem too bad. Cheaper the better.

But how much would it cost for shipping it to Malaysia Japanon?

>>4165372
Hey anon, any white saturn by you? And how much?

>>4196106
This is an estimate but for a GBA and an SP I would think around ¥800. Does color matter? I can let you know what is available.

>>4196585
Yes, a complete Saturn with a controller and the cords is typically ¥4300-¥4800. If I get one from the junk section it would only be ¥500 but wouldn't include any accessories. I can usually find controllers for ¥300-¥500 but I never see A/V cables sold separately.

>>4197320
¥500 for a junk Saturn? That's cheap af. Have you bought any consoles from the junk pile before?

>>4197630
Yeah, they're hit or miss with disc based systems but I've had a higher success rate with white saturns than grey.

>>4197818
I'll save your email for later. I'm interested in a white saturn and white controller so I'll be in touch

>>4197951
Sure thing, they show up not infrequently so just let me know whenever you're interested.

Surprise Surprise - this anon is quoting high prices.
Hit up a local hardoff, recycle shop, or even yahoo auctions. 4300-4800? bs
This auction in the pic has been relisted three times since I started watching it. I already got a white saturn, S-Video cable included with two controllers and a pair of games for 1000, so Im not really looking for another... but its an option.

This anon is greedy liar fuck, take advantage of you.

I post pictures of everything. You can see the Saturn prices I got from the pictures in the archive and that really is what they charge for them, at least at the stores near me. If the Hard Offs near you offer a better deal then please post the pictures so that we can see them and if you are so inclined send some to other anons on this board. I've told people in these threads multiple times that if they can find a better deal elsewhere or if another anon in Japan can help them to please go there. I'm trying to help while also enjoying my hobby. If you don't like these threads you're free to leave but don't undermine my integrity. If you're so much better than me then are you actually going to help people or are you just coming into this thread and trying to start shit?

On a different note, if anon is still interested in an orange Gamecube controller for the outer shell I found one in the junk bin for 500 yen. The stick is loose and missing the cover but everything else about it is fine so if you needed you could probably salvage the board inside as well.

I added more pictures to the photo drive, here is the link: https://goo gl/photos/rKjvAjyivfXtc7CF8

I will dump some here too for people who just want to have a look but I won't post all of them because there are quite a few and some are figures instead of /vr/. Somebody asked me a while back about JoJo SAS's and I found a number of them at this store.

Breaking news for anon who asked about twilight princess. It's better than I thought. Only ¥4500 plus 8% sales tax. That's about ¥1500 cheaper than I've seen at other places near me. They have two so I'm not too concerned about it selling out.

Can you buy a camera for me? Much like JapanCameraHunter?

Damn, Panzer Dragoon Azel soundtrack but it's ¥12000 plus 8% tax. There's also some kind of mini soundtrack selects for ¥1800 plus tax and the original Panzer Dragoon soundtrack for ¥2000. I'll upload these pictures later.

>>4198564
Sure but just to reiterate I ask for a 13%commission of the item's after tax price. If that's still cheaper than that other service then I can do it for you.

Is it something thst can be ordered online or so I need to pick it up in person? I'm not in a big city so that could be an issue.

How much was that Blue 3DS XL/LL?

Finally the statue in front of the yamaguchi manga souko, when I get a credit card I might get the other games I want online. There is not much choice for used games in yamaguchi prefecture. Remember kids, Japan is not like it is in the anime.

I'm looking for Gun slinger girl vol.1
All gun griffon games
All PS1 and SNES versions of smt 1,2, if and mt1&2 for SNES.

I would love raido 2 special edition, but I can wait to pay for that later. Shit is like $80.

>>4198338
A lot of boxed Super Famicoms for only around 1000-1500 yen? Damn, that's cheap compared to european (boxed) SNES games.
>>4198386
That Xbox One is only twice as expensive as that boxed Megadrive. Does this mean that there's a high demand for MD or very low for the XBO?

>>4198793
That looks like pretty standard pricing for an Xbone, and the Mega Drive is kind of a niche console in Japan from what I understand, so I can imagine the price being fairly high.

>>4198770
You can read moon? Translate If...

As mentioned sounded fair to me. Expect an e-mail soon. Link is a lefty as it should be. Thanks, Japanon!

>>4199225
No, it's been six months. I think another anon on this board lives there though. Hopefully they see this thread.

>>4199309
Isn't he a lefty in the Wii U version too? Glad if I can help, sorry that I wasn't sure on the price but the variation between stores is pretty extreme sometimes.

Saw a couple of cool games but unfortunately they're on Neo Geo CD. I can't really recommend this platform but it's still cool to see the nice artwork.

Last pic for now. I didn't know they made these little SMT statues. It's cool to see the classic Mothman on the shelf.

>far right

>>4198980
My moon is pretty meh. Besides translating it I would have to find someone to change all the dialogue. I'm not sure if the engine for if is the same as smt2 . In all seriousness altus should release it for the West. It's a shame what we are missing. I'm still kinda disappointed that altus localized the inferior version of smt1&2 to the West. There gba version is so ugly.

>>4199218
There Japan version has nocturne with raidou in it, so that's why it's expensive. American version of the special edition is nice too.

>>4198676

I see a used Black regular 3DS at ¥4800.
Do you find many at <¥5000 Japanon?

Also do you buy from online auction sites?
Buy it, have it shipped to you locally and then you proceed to ship it to us international buyers?

>>4165493
prolly some westaboo that wanted to experience the superior dub.

>>4198319
Damn, i got ripped off buying saturn controllers

Can you legally ship the black Guncon controllers?

>>4203086
no, but if he puts a orange tip on it will be fine.

Most of everything that I'm wanting to import is dirt cheap compared to eBay/Amazon. Only thing that gets me is the shipping. Probably going to use a forwarder.

Have you stumbled on Rockman mangas? I'm thinking mostly about the ones that were never translated and released in the west, like these:

I blame that G1 Megatron toy for all this shit. Maybe the Decpticon's plan was to ban all the cool toys and force that stupid orange cap on everything.

i've already got maniax, but i didn't know that
does it come with the raihou plush too?

>>4199964
They didn't localize II for the west, only I, and the iOS version was never updated and has since been pulled from the App Store if you haven't already purchased it.

Hey japanon would you be able to order something from like yahoo auctions and then ship it out to me?

>>4204430
No idea, haven't seen one or heard of one before your post
>>4205034
Really, how sad.

>>4205503
It really is.

How much does a Sega mark iii go for?

Sorry I haven't been responding. I'm in a short trip but will be back in a couple more days.

>>4203526
I don't really read manga but I'm sure they're around. I can take a look when I'm at the book store.

>>4205472
I just made a yahoo auctions account because another anon asked. Send me an email if you have a request.

>>4206576
I haven't actually seen one yet but there was a complete no box Master system for over ¥10000 but it was a while ago so I can't remember exactly how much.

Any Gradius soundtrack CDs?
