I always wanted to pick up a Panasonic Q Gamecube/dvd player.  It was a chromed out collabo between Nintendo and Panny. Alas only available in Japan...I didn't spot one in the pics but I wonder how much they go for these days.

Most of these shops are open 24 hours just in case you need a Famicom copy of Super Mario Brothers at 3AM on a Tuesday.

For obvious reasons, including my ebay auctions, I had to censor some of the prices.

Enjoy the pictures.




What they usually look like on the outside.





The bottom shelf, with copies of DEAD OR ALIVE
































FAMICOM TV!!!


























Deck the halls of SFC carts...la la la








































PC Engine, Super CD games











Sega Saturn












































Disk System Games










Yes, that Donkey Kong Gameboy Advance SP is 120,000 yen. (about $1,250)


















Most of these stores never sell Super Famicoms (or Famicoms, N64s, GameCubes) without AV or Power cables.
They sell them separately to maximize profits.




















SFC cart grab bags and FC Twin systems











I heard these are "rare". (Psychic Assassin Taromaru)



















Final Fantasy Wonderswans

































The MARK OF THE WOLVES PS2 NEO GEO Stick. This isn't easy to find.


















US Versions of games are often easily available in Japan. If you can't afford the Japanese version, opt for the Import.
Unlike the US, game imports are CHEAPER than domestic ones. Case and point, these copies of GTAIV









The walls are made of Famicom games....














I love these things, Capcom Fighter pads for the SFC









And here's how they get you when you want to buy an SFC, FC, N64 or GameCube

Are there any Mom & Pop stores like that in the States?
