Japan Spam: Top Fighter For The SNES

Here's a video of this weird sort of bootlegged game running on an SNES at the Akihabara location of Super Potato.



For those who don't know, Super Potato is a shop that specializes in older games, so you will see a huge selection of more old and obscure items than you can imagine. There are NES systems with the Japanese disk drive, old, pre-NES electronic games, piles and piles of Genesis, SNES, Virtual Boy, Saturn, and Neo Geo games, and lots of old strategy guides for all of them. Usually they have some 8-bit music playing out of their window when you walk past, so you know how to find them despite the fact that they are sort of hidden on the second floor and third floors of a building in a back-street off of Akihabara's main drag.

Here's another video I took the same day, last December. Cut out of this video for privacy purposes: the incredibly hot half-French girl I was with at the time. Just so you know who I was talking to.



I know that was too fast and blurry, and I left out some of the cooler things, such as the Nntendo 64 DD pack I found one day, but I haven't really recorded anything recently. I'll do a full breakdown on Akihabara someday, but for now enjoy this little glimpse into Super Potato. By the way, there is a Super Potato in Osaka as well, at the place called Den Den Town, so be sure to visit if you end up down there.
