Japanese Game Hunting at 7 Surugayas (2024)! - Adam Koralik

It's Adam Koralik here and today we're discussing a few stores in the greater Tokyo area, well, all of them are Japanese Surugaya Specialty Stores. How many did we get to? How did it go? Well, it went well.

The reason that Gamecube Pokemon disc is so rare and valuable is because it's the ONLY way to get Celebi in the gen III Pokemon games.

Sweet video. Pretty cool to meet a fan randomly in Japan.

2:13 that is a great rick flair impression by the hard-off's finest lol

4:45 Yu Suzuki Game Works is basically his "Last Dance" documentary on how he was the coach for The Washington Wizards and led Michael Jordan to beat Caitlin Clark and The Indiana Fever to win the Super Bowl **gasp!** That's thing that is NOT Virtual Cameraman

1:26 It should have been titled *Crazy Taxi: Donkey Punch* and released in the states as *Crazy Taxi: Dirty Sanchez*

Awesome video. Looks like so much fun. I'm envious of all of those Saturn and Dreamcast games.

I think, when panning around quickly (e.g. 01:09 or so), recording video at 60fps may help the viewer 😊

Thanks for the last few videos on the Japanese retro gaming world, very educational 👍

2:15 that Traitor-Off is such a disgrace, such a bakagaijin

13:22 Capcom publishing Grand Theft Auto for Japanese distribution has the same vibes as Nintendo of America publishing Mega Man 6 for the NES late in its console life cycle

Great Video again with your trip to Japan! There are 4 Surugayas in Akihabara, separated by the products they sell (e.g. TCG, game, figures, etc.) That is why only one (and the basement one near the Akihbara station) Surugaya sells the games. Next time you visit Japan, I recommend you visiting Surugaya main store in Shizuoka city. It reopened last October, and had plenty of retro games when I visited there last November!

All that's missing now is the Tsutaya store hopping videos (the name you usually call it amuses me for obvious reasons. :P ) love watching these though!

[IanNewYashaTheFinalAct]

0:36 missed opportunity to call it *Counter-gaya*

16:21 Nuts & Milk to Adam Koralik sounds about as naughty as Flying & Eating with Adam Koralik

[Aralis]

Adam I just got around to buying that lemon pledge you recommended for black consoles! My Genesis looks brand spanking new! I've owned it for years and I've never seen it look that good!!! Thx man 🙏

Got some good deals on AES games at Surugaya, in particular the Yokohama one, so definitely worth hunting through and spending a little time there :) Seems there are a few more loose AES carts in that showcase than last time, but fewer boxed ones

[lordflashheart]

ive been to most of them stores great memories, I noticed when I was there the insane prices of handhelds
dmg ds etc

[BensyBens]

22:55 i swear i thought you gonna talk about super puzzle fighter 2 and not about the bleamcast.

[CCH]

Man, look at the neat stuff. A bit expensive, but still cool.

It’s kind of a trip to see an mvs collection in a store, I’ve got 14 carts (15 but my metal slug is a bootleg so I don’t count it) in my garage
