Super Potato Retrokan Ota Road Branch — Local services in Osaka

Tourists who don’t do enough research end up in this tourist trap buying game items at EXORBITANT prices.

Do avoid buying from here unless you’ve done price checks at other outlets!

In my picture, MHP3rd is priced at 528 yen in Super Potato, while its 110yen at Lashinbang.

edit: this is not only applicable to games, it’s applicable to almost everything like gaming consoles / systems.

Sincerely, avoid buying things from here unless it is so rare that it’s ONLY found in this store.

Go to HardOff/BookOff/Lashinbang or any 2nd hand stores for better deals.

You can go here to look but I'm sure a lot of smart gamers/collectors don't buy anything from here, you'd be stupid to do so. Just use eBay, maybe even check...

Very cool retro game store, with games and consoles like Super Famicom, Neo Geo, Gameboy, PC, Playstations and many others. There are cheap buys as well as very clean second hand ones for collectors, and a couple of game stands that you can try out for yourself. If you're looking for a trip down memory lane, to relive the 80s and 90s in gaming, or to find one game you loved, this would be the store to go. For foreigners, it appeared these were all Japanese region/release games, but don't let that stop you! Super Nintendo NTSC consoles are only 5800yen (~65AUD), so you can game to your...
