Ah, I read that, too.
I also left him a comment and asked for the address of the store.

I saw many big game stores in Japan, but nothing like that yet.
But I heard used game stores in the bigger Tokyo area are bigger than in the rest of Japan.
I need to go there. :D

One problem might be that you won't know where to start and lose yourself somewhere.

Strangely enough, being lost in heaven sounds quite pleasant. :)

:D

It is nice, but can be annoying. Trust me.
I was in a Manga store that was nearly as big as that one and I just couldn't find what I was looking for, because it was too big.

And in a big game store (smaller as this one though) I found so many games and accessories that I couldn't buy everything I wanted. (Which is heart-breaking) I ended up with the trunk of the car filled up completely. This was mainly because I bought a Mega Drive, PC Engine Duo RX and stuff, whose boxes were quite big.

Don't understand me wrong. Big places are cool and nice, but they always hold too much stuff to buy.
That's why I personally like smaller stores better. You can actually look through the whole sortiment and still make good finds.

But once in my life I want to visit that mega big store.
Hopefully I will have a well paid job and a car with a big trunk at that time. :P

:shock: WOW.
I agree about this place being too large for an average budget, but it's nice to know places like this exist if that winning lottery ticket ever comes through!

If I won the lottery I would buy every single Mega Drive cart there.

Depending on how big the Jackpot is you could buy the whole store perhaps. :wink:

Should I ever go to that store I promise more pics for the NES files. :P

holy moses that is ridiculous! it's like... Wal-Mart with nothing but video games!!!

i think walking in there would be overwhelming. how would you know where to start? how would you know where to end? it'd take a month to read the label of every game in there.

I think I see why they have so many games. If you look at some of their stuff, the prices you can make out are pretty high (3200 Yen (about $29) for Metal Gear loose), but I think I saw some SNES games in the 200 yen range, so it might not be so bad. What's amazing is where this guy manages to find all these games, I'm just blown away by the sheer mass of it.

My List. Remember, everything can be bought, for a price.

People bring in their used games.
Some big stores and chains even drive to your house and buy your stuff if the load is big enough. Another method is to buy up games from other stores that went out of business.
