He streams Japanese games and all that cool stuff

So I thought for today's video it would be awesome to have him join us

and explain how buying games works in Japan

and we're gonna go show you guys some places where you can get games for good deals

I thought if you guys come here on an exchange

you're probably not gonna be put right in Tokyo

More often than not you'll be out in the countryside area

We're gonna show you some of the shops out here that you will see a lot

Used, you can get amazing deals and it's just fun to go shopping there

So yeah that's what we're gonna do today!

Make sure you go check Chad out on Twitch when you're done watching this video

Let's head out to the stores and have some fun!

So the first store that we are going to is called Wonder Goo

This is a chain store, you can rent movies from here

And you can also buy games, they have an awesome games section

So we came inside, and they have Animal Crossing here

We're gonna check out the smaller store later and see if they have a better price

As you can see they have all the new games here

There's also a used section that we're gonna go look at now

So Chad was just saying that if you are studying Japanese

It's always cool to buy games designed to teach children Japanese

I used to play lots of these really simple children's games

and they have furigana over the kanji, so if you're not good at reading kanji you don't need to worry

So that's really awesome, and it's Doraemon so that's always cool

It looks like it's the newer version that I don't have yet

I'm pretty sure this is out in America as well under another name

So if you come over to the corner of the store

You can see they have what looks like a junk pile here

You can find games that don't have the packaging so they're a lot cheaper

It's always cool to check out the discount piles

You can find some good stuff in there sometimes

if you don't care too much about the packaging

Chad found Mario Party! And what is that??

It's so cool looking at the old Japanese games that never came out in North America

So if you guys want to reserve a game and get it right when it comes out

And Chad is gonna show us what you need to do here

So when a new game comes out, like God Eater is coming out on Oct. 29

So you fill out your name, your number and where you live in Japan

That's really all you gotta do, and the store will fill out the rest for you

Usually it's free, you don't have to put any money down

So you just hand that to them, and you're good to go

In Japan, when new games come out they can do whatever they want with prices

So basically they can decide like, yeah this game is worth 80 bucks

When back home, this would be $60 no questions asked

So when it comes out worldwide, then they'll put a limit on it

So they're like, well we're the only ones who have it so we can do whatever we want

So you can find those at all the game shops

So this is the store that I'm excited to tell you about

Now this is just one that they have in Chiba here

They're gonna be different depending on where you are

But basically what it is, it's a recycle store or a thrift store

where you can get games for really super cheap!

And their prices are a little lower than the big chain that I showed you before this

So if you can, look for smaller recycle stores like this

On the outside wall here they have all the prices they will pay you

They will buy games off of you for this price

The money that they give you is a little higher than other places as well
