Akihabara's "Hidden" Game Shop [Serial Freaks]
Ойындар
There's a tiny little retro game shop in Akihabara that's very easy to miss, so I thought I'd walk on over, show you the way, and have a look inside.

Love hearing that Catherine soundtrack playing in the background. You’ve got great taste Jim :).
Very cool find in Akiba. Lots of interesting consoles in those display cabinets. Thanks Jim.
2:18 RGB modded PC-Engine LT
There’s stuff around every friggen corner in Akiba. Gotta love it.
Did anyone else notice the Dreamcast VMU with color screen?! I'd love to know more about that little oddity!

He sells the kits for people to do those sorts of mods. He has no English so that's as good as I can give you
Love your videos dude!
Interesting store for sure . I saw U.S version of FF Mystic Quest cib at the Surugaya in Akiba and Killer Instinct at the one in Shinjuku (Marui Complex) and that's about it so yeah it's odd to see so many NES and SNES carts at a Japanese store.
Woah, had no idea about this place. Really cool. Gotta check it out later myself.
4:55 what's that Nekotako game for super famicom? After some research it looks like a new release. Cool place I had no idea existed. Gotta go back now.
I think I saw this on the Hard Officers channel, cool little shop! I would have given it a peek if I´d known it was there.
Interesting... I see several msx games on the monitors, including the 2020 release Caravan Boomer ( 5:55 ), but only one msx title for sale.
I bought a bunch of stuff from this shop. It's not a bad place to have a look
You’re making my to do list longer everyday for my next visit Jim......🤦🏾♂️...Cant wait!!🤣😂🤣🤪🤓😁😂
Nice PC Engine LT in there but the most intriguing thing was that PC Engine on the rotating plinth. You can see that the bottom half has been replaced and if you pause the video at just the right time you can just about see what looks like a screen on the back. Is that an original PCE made into a portable? Jim, can you remember what it was?
Hey Jim, love your videos cant wait till I'm done my bachelor degree to come there and visit all these shops you visit. Thank you and keep up the amazing content. Hope to meet up one day and do a game shopping spree.
The isle on the other side of the Radio Department Store has arcade stick parts, Sanwa and Seimitsu gear
makes me wonder what most people in japan think when they see north american games being sold in there country since there is quite a few NA exclusives that im sure would be fascinating to some
Very interesting. In all my trips I never knew this existed. Thanks dude
That white GBA looks like it is modded with a back light screen.
Love this channel.
Nice! These obscure little places are very much part of the charm of Akiba.
that's so cool to see US games in a Japanese game shop
That new intro was dope!
There used to be an import shop down that way about 10 years ago that had lots of current and some previous gen games for NA systems. Almost makes me wonder if they bought some of their stock when they went out.
Sounds like Catherine soundtrack in the background. Nice!
Oh the sweet nostalgia! I loved the arcades at Akihabara too
Cool video man. Thanks for being my vacation to Japan.
Interesting store got to check this place out when I go to Japan this summer.
I really hope you picked up that Parasquad for the 32X - I would buy that from you :).
Japan is awesome such a cool little shop :)
6:32 you should return those famicom cartridges back to its original position ....
What a cool place!
More Japanese shopping goodies to view is A-Okay in my books Jim. I'm loving it. 8^) Anthony..
damn this part of akiba is a maze ! i went looking for this one and could not find it ! I think i was in the wrong part, maybe near the station and not the right covered market ?

Just curious how do you find this stuff is there a map?
Missed this video, couple of boxed MSX titles in the bottom left of the case :)
KZread has been recommending worse than before so I miss a lot of subscriptions videos I like so I'm hitting the bell more on subscriptions, including you.
Prett-ay, prett-ayy, prett-ayyy good. 😆
Lol I have written here in the comments for almost a year now about you should check out the small stores in the Tokyo Radio Dept building, especially Kadenken
Wow retro games worth to buy
nice video there was a great selection of video games to choose from I think I will stick with the xbox and xbox games I hope that the new xbox comes out soon :)
Wish they're was a detailed map of akiba. I mean really detailed
Dragon Quest 7 and Zone of the Enders and more all in fantastic new condition for only 100 Yen which is 90 cents US, I'd buy those on the spot.
Ah kaden no ken chan... i've discovered this one in 2018.. bought there doki doki panic famicom disk €3,- this january... great lt pc engine consoles..
do people even collect for NES over there? always seemed weird to me to see those over there like I'm sure a lot of those are already on famicom anyway, but IDK. that's a neat looking shop though!
What's the little console briefly seen rotating on a turntable at about 4 minutes 30 seconds?
Can anyone tell me what movie, novel or show that the poster on the wall next to the broken console is from? It's not Kindaichi's Case files is it?
They had NBA shodown 94!for 100 yen, ah the memories
Are there any stores that you have come across that sell PAL SNES games ?
But how was the pricing? (my eyes suck) but now, what there be nothing there in October when I visit 😩
I never thought I see SNES games sold in a Japanese store, however to be fair, I've seen JP N64 games in Las Vegas, so go figure!!
Jim! Dont go showing all the secrete shops man! Shhh! Its called Kaden no Ken-chans actually. Its a cool little shop more geared twards modding your various consoles and what not. Like you said it is a cool place to check out! 😁 Every one should check it out! Just keep it on the DL😁
What’s the name of the song the end of the video?
It's easy to find an NES to Famicom converter but and SNES to Super Famicom is a difficult one. So I just Unscrewed my SuFami and take the top off when ever I want to get my Uniracers on.
Did I see a sharp x68000 there?
Sharp X68000 at 3:00 ?
why don't you try the japan traditional market? I mean a place that sells cheap gaming games in Japan 
This reminds me of Judgment SCENES!
gamernium.com/ the website on those nes boards.
It would be healthy if I ktonit helped buy games in Japan,and send them to me in Russia for the collection) there is much cheaper
They have some cool stuff except for all the non-Japanese stuff obviously
Still waiting to see my name on the Patreon’s list 😂🙏
