Some goodies from my last trip into Tokyo:
Mostly games from my childhood, not really into collecting anymore.
One big surprise was being in a store and finding out there was actually a "Samurai Pizza Cats" video game (3rd row down, second cart). And after beating it it's quite good! The Double Dragon III text errors (BIMMY AND JIMMY!) are just as I remembered them. The Kinnikuman/M.U.S.C.L.E game is absolutely terrible, but I loved the toys as a kid. Hammerin' Harry is just an awesome title all around. And gotta love the fact that the Ninja Gaiden III cartridge uses the cover of the anime OVA!
I actually didn't own a Famicom when I started buying these, but most were 100-200Y so I could'nt resist.
After buying about 10 carts I ending up just buying a system, too, since I found a good deal (60 bucks with both controllers!).
And yes, that is from my (then) hotel room. I'm the guy who flew half way around the world to Japan and ran back to play the games I bought.
I also have to say that Mighty Final Fight must be some kind of programming miracle. I had no idea the NES was capable of running a game that looked this good. It even might put the Master System to shame.
Oh, and Metal Gear on the Famicom is just as terrible as the NES version. Somehow, I thought it might be better...
At least Michael Biehn still looks bitchin' on the cover.
