Oh Man! I felt so identified with your story thanks for sharing. I lived pretty much the exact same thing three years ago in my first (and only) trip to Japan. I planned to get the Nintendo Switch that had just released like three weeks prior to my trip. It was sold out everywhere, I visited every possible store (just like you did) and even had some of those same fails with stores that appeared to have it but didn't. I had little victories here and there, getting games and accessories for a console that I didn't even own, but I had also given up by the end of the trip. Then in my last day it turned out that stores were going to re-stock but only sell through raffles. I didn't have the time for that (my flight would have left me haha). So literally in the last store I was going to visit (a toy store in Ginza) they were just starting to sell them just like that without any raffle, that was like the perfect closure for a fantastic trip (which also had a magical day in Disney by the way), probably my happiest experience in my whole life since I got to share all of that with my wife and my brother. Anyways, you're probably not going to read this, I just thought to share it with you since I see a lot of my story in yours and you brought all those memories back to me.

When looking at your videos, all the fullfilling emotions came up when I went to Japan in Dec 2019. All the ups and downs, but same as for you, at the end it worked out the way I was hoping and looked for. Japan is a great place and will revisit whenever I have the chance again. Happy to see that you finally got your NS version you were looking for :)

Honestly this was my favorite series you've done! Wish you could have stayed longer for more videos. I was in Japan last year and you're videos make me wish I was there all the time

My heart has been soooo full watching these videos. Lately, many of my favourite KZreadrs (MJR, Woods) have ventured to Japan and I have gotten to relive so many awesome memories. I spent two days in Akihabara this summer and they were magical for sure. I'm hoping to get back there one more time with my brother so he can enjoy all these shops and experiences.

Nice to see that you enjoyed Japan! I was there recently for a two week holiday during which I traveled around the country with my friend and did some anime/game shopping in Akihabara, Ikebukuro, Kyoto, Nipponbashi etc. I fell in love with the country, the food and the people. For a weeb like me it was so heart warming to see how much they actually embrace the geek culture in various places over there. The best two weeks of my life for sure.

I've been following your channel for quite a while and I'm flying to Japan next saturday. I'm currently on a 3 month business trip in Australia and after 2 weeks in Japan I'm going back to Europe. I'll be looking for some Switch games and some old stuff as well. This video really made my day, because I can relate to your situation and happyness. Cheers and wish me some luck. I'll be on my own over there.

Thank you for sharing your fun with us. I looked forward to seeing everything you all did. It was a fun experience to watch. Glad you all made it back safely.

20:22 Look at all those Amiibo. I want them so bad. Everything on this trip looks so much fun and amazing and it makes me really want to go to Japan.

It's about time! I've been waiting for this video. I go to Japan in 2 weeks for 2 weeks. I needed to know what epic games to buy and now thanks to your vlogs I have some great ones to look out for 😁... Thank you for the Japan vlogs, they have been awesome!!

When it comes to picking up games in Japan it may be good to have a list what to look for (such as what Wood bought in the series of videos) as well as totally going blind because you just won't know what is in stock and you can get so many suprises (just make sure the price is good, which is the case for most older games).

Keep up the amazing and charismatic work with such high-energies !!! You are truly a blessed person and you deserve all the gaming happiness there is !

Hunter x hunter is also my favorite anime of all time. And I love that I’m not the only one pronouncing the x.

Ive been to Tokyo 3 times and going to Japan again next year. For me its very nostalgic and amazing to watch how fun you guys had on your trip and brings back so many memories from my own trips. BookOff is amazing but there is one store thats even better, cant remember the name right now but ill look it up for you for your next trip! Peace!
