holy crap awesome game store man wish we had stuff like that down here where they give you half of what you pay for we just get game stop sadly not that i sell my games anyway but its nice to no not every video game store doesnt rip ya off
Ive actually seen an entire playthrough of the catherine game (along with japanese translation by the lper) and it seems quite a good puzzle game when you takeaway all the weird stuff.
In the west you need to find an independant game store or an actual retro store to be anything like this, as EB / Gamestop is a bunch of lame shit with employees that wouldn't know a Colecovision from a hole in the ground.
I've been subscribed to your channel for quite a while now; every time you upload something new, your channel is the first one on my list I go to. It seems like your videos are getting better and better by the day. Excellent video once again, Luke. I only wish the States had cool stores like Chameleon Club. Oh well.
We are getting Catherine here in the states on 7/26 :).....interesting the PS3 and Xbox360 has different box covers with the PS3 looking a little more mature than the Xbox360 version
Within 8 seconds of the start of the video you could already see so many great games. Tales of Destiny 2, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, and 428 Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de just to name a few. Also..about Catherine, You really should give it a try, sure, it seems a little strange, but it's actually a really solid Puzzle/Platformer.
I'd film the Game shops in the UK, but if I did this in our Game Station, they'd find me with the camera because they bug everyone with the 'Can we help you?' thing. God, that's annoying.
Yeah, Luke, anytime i see your videos, even if I'm watching Netflix i just have to watch you. You have this calming nice presence about you and It's always cool seeing the gaming culture in Japan.
Keep up the great videos and best of wishes to you and any of your friends that were affected by the Tsunami. I know we don't hear much about it on the news nowadays but i can only imagine there's a lot of rebuilding.
Luke out on the town, I love how undercover your game store videos are. Didn't seem to have too many retro games, unless they were in another section with you couldn't get to with the camera. Either way, cool little place.
@MartellRagel Because apparently reading the game in English is important even though you could just get a translation guide or a walkthrough, or play it through Memory. Was at Anime-Expo last weekend and a guy was selling a boxed copy of Chrono Trigger for 140 bucks while sitting right next to it was the boxed Japanese version for 30...
@MartellRagel I think its because LoM sold waaaay more units in Japan then in the US. So i think the japanese version isn't rare at all. thats what i think anyway
@MartellRagel Because they've had it for WAYYYYY longer than USA have, remember japan get their games a whole 6 months before anyone else, so the game would've been old news for them...
Haha, I agree, that Catherine game is twisted. It's super creepy though, the more you get into it. I've never heard of that store! I'll check it out soon.
Another great video as always. I think you should review that Catherine game, if only for the LOLZ. Oh and I would love to see you play a UFO catcher game, but I think they are expensive, I like the figures inside the UFO catchers, they can only be won out of them, and not brought in a store.
Love that your doing these videos again Luke. Seeing all the small things Japan has to offer is fascinating. Any more McDog like experiences in the future? That was an interesting learning experience for sure.
That is some serious packaging overkill. Who the fuck would wrap EVERY SINGLE THING in non bio-degradable plastic. I have noticed that China and Japan don't really give a shit about the planet or animals. . . . . .or even their own.
I am watching this vid and playing Hard Off's bgm at the same time! It just doesn't feel the same watching Luke's game shop vid without that music. :o
I wish there was a store like this where I live. Oh yeah and buy the way catherine is being released in the u.s. I will have to check it out. Sounds bizarre.
Do Any of you Americans notice Something About This Video? Maybe the fact that The Japanese respect Thier Games More Than American Resellers Do. you dont see this kind of shit in Gamestop......lol
You're very fortunate to be able to make a trip over there Luke. I wish that I could read japanese so that I could play all of the games that never make it over here :( someday I plan to learn. Also, what is that game on the little TV @ 4:20? It looked interesting, I hope it isn't Japan exclusive :( very nice video Luke, I love to see everything you put out, it's all great stuff :)
Have you managed to fuse a few of your cab's into one to save yourself some space, seem such a shame them sat in storage, I know you'll sort something out though mate, I've got loads of space since I gave away my pool table.
Well, this was certainly nostalgic! I miss going to these types of game stores in Japan. Trader2 and Super Potato were always my favorite gaming stores. :) Thanks for posting this! I hope you do more videos like this in the future.
hey luke quick question have you picked up a 3ds yet? also if you do hope you beat zelda for it im in the middle of it atm its really boss brings me back to my childhood.
He did pick one up, he mentioned it in a few vids ago I believe. He said it was alright, but the 3d wasn't too great for him. Didn't seem the most pleased with it, but almost apathetic. Hopefully he can respond to you, but that's what I got out of his take on it.
@papasmurf2465 haha thx i thought i rem him showing 1 or something but figured it was some1 else cause you know when luke does a review of something it will that a good long time :)
I love how everytime I see a new Luke vid I just stop what I'm doing and watch. You should do a review of Catherine!! I haven't seen that over here yet. Like always, awesome video :)
@jillpoo3 Hey bro, LOL, that cracks me up. Stop what you are doing to watch a vid of mine, desperate times call for desperate.....haha. Ill see what I can do about the Catherine game bro. I really appreciate what youve done for me as well man, thanks so much
@deadlyscorpio11 lol, yeah, a lot of the sounds were coming from different monitors around the store playing various demo games and the store announcements :o
All of these visits to the various game stores you go to never cease to amaze me. Keep up the good work Luke, hope to see another video like this soon!
@KnightSabers01 Yeah dude, I know what you mean. I put up a video on Visco a few years ago. Im sure if you type it into YT youll be able to see the video ;D
@WorthyouruniverseHD OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!!! Hardcore Gaming goodness all over the floor and the store.......Talking about the games only here Dan......or....well....just the games, no, thats all!
@thatguyontheright1 Think that they just did it to have a nice colorful display when you put them on your shelf, they look pretty wild when you have them on a shelf organized to the colors of a spectrum, really cool stuff. Thanks man!
wow you even get new ps1 games cool wish america still did that
