So I'm going to Japan next month...
Hi, so basically I'm leaving for Japan on the 7th of next month and I'm going to be in Toyko, and I am basically going to go on a bunch of shopping sprees. I am literally bringing an entire empty suitcase specifically just for stuff to bring back. That being said, I am open to orders for stuff that people would be willing to trade for NES games I want. So if you want a copy of Radiant Silvergun or Dracula X or some rare japanese game that would cost hundreds in US dollars, but would be much less to actually buy inside japan or even a non-rare game that you just wouldnt have to pay $20 in shipping for, this is the time to ask. I am for sure going to Super Potato (which I've heard is expensive) and Friends (which I've heard is less so), but I really would like some store recommendations from anyone who's been as well.

Wouldn't mind Final Fight Tough for SFC either, but that might end up being too pricey.
Famicom to Super Famicom: typically $5-15(bought Chrono Trigger CIB for around $9)
Nintendo 64: I think most of them are under $20 but I never buy any
Gameboy-GBC: typically less than $15(Pokemon Gold CIB for around $7)
Last generation games: typically less than $25 on average(Giftpia - around $15, Doshin the Giant(I guess it is more rare) -around $25)
Nintendo DS/ Current generation: pretty much the usual prices here, although if a game is a year or older like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom you can probably find it for no more than $30. I think play-asia still sells it for $70...
Hopefully I was able to help some people out.
Could you bring back some sushi?
Or a nice bottle of Sake!
Better yet, bring me back a Japanese girl!

Wow. I thought this would be a Jumpman thread.
Don't worry, it will be whenever he get's back from wherever he is.

Yea, I was going to suggest a chick too. Maybe you can get a group rate or something.
Bring me back a stack or pirates! That would be awesome to play BBB or something where they were speaking japineeze! Or something that I could spell.
How much would you expect to pay for Radiant Silvergun over there?
my friend who lives there bought a sealed copy for about 5800 yen (about $60 or so, maybe a bit more due to crap dollar exchange rate) about 4 months ago inside akihabra (pretty much the most expensive place for games) so it isnt dirt cheap but it is certainly wayyyyyyyyy cheaper than anything you would ever find on ebay or in a resale US game shop (the last one I saw in some shop in california was $400).
anyway, i am affording about $500 just to buy games, though basically all I really just want are weird japan only famicom games and maybe some random japanese game merchandise stuff (I really want game soundtracks on vinyl more than pretty much anything in the universe). so i figure I would have money left over to get stuff to sell and trade out to people.
personally,i really want all the technos kunio games (river city ransom sequels and spinoffs not released here), wai wai world 2 and wild gunman with the zapper that looks like a real metal 6 shooter revolver (my friend has one and it is probably the most dangerous looking toy ever).
nes stuff i want to trade for are basically any games i dont have. mostly games that are 5 or higher rarities on the nesage list, but I am missing a lot of common ones too. i dont care about boxes or booklets or anything either. im basically just building a complete cart only nes set as i dont have the time or patience for anything more.
You can get me a CIB famicom sqoon for cheap.
Thats a cheap one, they run 5-20
wai wai world 2
I would love a copy of wai wai 1 and/or2 if they can be gotten on the cheapsies!
