The PlayStation is one of the few Japanese systems where collecting is not gonna break the bank!

Very true. I do A LOT of game hunting and PS1 and PS2 games are typically the cheapest and most abundant I come across.

Love to see ps1 games always find something new. Giving more attention to ps1 because of you and Mr. Hapa😉

Love the Playstation hunt videos. This one was too short Jim! Need more! 😄

The cover art for monster rancher is better than the NA cover art 😲 PS1 has so many great games. The prices in Japan are a steal!

That’s the thing amaze me about Japan is how cheap those older games are and you can come out with 10 or 20 games for cheap. While in American one ps1 game cost you 50$……….. used too.

The PlayStation is such a classic console. So many wonderful games in its library. Great video bro, keep them coming my friend.

Nice set of PS games, I wouldn´t say no to Raiden Project for that price! The Rival Schools sequel seems very cool too, did watch your review of it.

kinda miss this kind of shops back in mid 90s with full of ps1 stacked cd in a very very big game store in my town, now theres no more, only small game store in mall that mostly restaurant and cinema

Bro, I’m so jealous right now! What a dream store 🥺👍✨

Thank you dude for inspiring me to collect import games broadening my horizons in video games

It was nice to see some titles that I'd been looking for turn out to be very affordable when I was over there. Nabbed a ton of stuff, though actually not from Super Potato. The Super Potato in Akihabara was kind of a bust. It was hot, overstuffed with tourists, smelled like body oder. I scored all of my good finds in Japan from Marui Plaza.

Jim, I had contacted you about finding me a Net Yaroze black ps1 console in Japan. I would pay you a handsome tax on top of the price and would buy import ps1 games from you as well. Thanks man.

I'd definitely love to collect more PS1 imports, although I think I need a good video solution for my HDTV? all those screen resolution changes my HDTV doesn't know what to do with it! also I don't blame capcom for the way the vs. PSX games turned out... there just wasn't enough RAM to do the series justice, I mean compare those to the saturn versions!

Japanese systems are still NTSC so they usually work with all NA cables, but I'd have to look it up for that system. Some systems can use the JP21 connector which is Japan exclusivw and outputs RGB usually, but looks like Scart.

@@darktetsuya most PS2 games output 480i or 480p over component, and usually HDTVs handle those resolutions fine, but most PS1 games output at 240p which on composite is usually fine but over component causes problems on newer HDTVs. Go check out My Life In Gaming's video on the PS2 and Retrotink scalers.

I know it wasn't popular in Japan, but I would love to see what the selection and prices for original Xbox games are at Super Potato.
