    yes i'm joking boss

    or maybe not, since i didn't mention who is stealing

    i just find it funny when a new guy shows up and he's not really here for reselling eh, except that well the lot is up for sale and well it's worth around 800 usd and please contact me if you want it, coz all i can find is that game in the lot and well they're asking 800 usd just for it so i'm giving you a heck of a deal

    sorry for being that jaded guy but come on...

    Suruga-ya and empty shelves, the twitter battle: What's your take?

    << The tourists have taken everything. I don’t bother shopping for retro games in big Japanese cities anymore. >>

    All places selling good games at good prices will eventually be sucked dry. We know something about it here in Hong Kong and Taiwan. So even if I agree with you, it's called hypocrisy, because both you and me were happy to "take everything" before "the tourists" came (physically and then virtually).

    Also, it would have been less cringey if said by an actual Japanese guy. You know, not a Kyoto-based American researcher.

    Really, big news, super cheap super rare Japanese games have become hard to find and expensive, partly due to non-Japanese guys buying them en masse from Japanese stores and websites. Try buying a complete Japanese 1st print SotN now. It used to be 2-3000 yen at most, now incomplete copies in shit-dipped condition are 3 times the price, and complete in good condition well over 10,000 yen. I blame the tourists too, but what else did you think was going to happen?

    Besides, Yahoo and Mercari now have HUGE banners promoting proxy services. They are happy to sell to gaijins, they make-a more moneis. Average Japanese Joe is not happy, me neither, coz about a trillion Japanese games I didn't buy 15 years ago are now way too expensive and show up way too rarely.

    Why do Japanese games often have the titles in English but.....

    Japanese games for Japan, I understand why they don't mention it (they are in Japanese, what else), but at least SOME devs actually think of the confusion and mention the languages on the box, which is nice. Or maybe it's Sony that does it for those special games with languages you might not expect.

    Though many PS2 games in Japan have full cover in Japanese and full manual in Japanese, but the game remains 100% in English (many EA games for example). So the opposite problem also exists 🙂

    Which game do you think is the most important of the 21st century?

    Somehow I also thought of Shadow of the Colossus. I guess because I just finished playing The Last Guardian, and was wondering how it could be so bad.

    Diablo II is definitely one of the most influential games though 🙂. And it kept being patched officially until 2016. That's 16 years of free support. the game is fine-tuned and well balanced like nothing else in gaming history. the maths behind it are incredible, it is a marvel that you can study for a long time.

    p.s. i mean PS2 SotC, not the half-asses PS3 texture-licked version. And not the remake on PS4 either.

    as a seller, this is a nightmare because if it's from ebay, a collector could have an opened copy and claim it's the sealed one, and return if for a refund. a guy wanted to pull this scam on me after i sold him a sealed super mario kart years ago.

    it really sucks for this buyer though. i'd be incredibly angry. i hope you got it at a good price at least... 😞
