1/2 OT: Gameshops in Tokyo (Ginza, Ikebukuro and Shibuja)

[Moosmann]

I travel to Tokyo next month. Anybody know some recommendable used game shops (Ginza, Ikebukuro and Shibuja Area) there I should check out ? I know I can buy used games in Akihabara, Shinjuku, Nakano an DenDenTown (Osaka) but I want to take a look on other places.

I also heard it`s a used game shop in Shibuja sew Taito Station (cellar, from the outside not recognizably).

Nothing to specifically recommend, but I would bet Ikebukuro to be the best bet of the 3 to find shops. I've had good luck in some of the rural areas of Kansai -- picked up a bunch of good games for cheap at a Ninomiya in Nara-ken (sadly now out of business)...

My point is if you poke around almost anywhere you're bound to find something. Anyplace with a decent shopping arcade will have some game stores -- Mandarake Umeda has some nice kit as well. I've found the burbs to have better prices if you can find things -- check in, say, Machida...

Ah, thanks :)

What`s about shopping in Kyoto ?

The photos on this website doesn`t work and I really don`t know the area (Subway-Station and so on...).

Shibuya has:

Tsutaya (2nd floor) - it is at Hachiko Crossing, in the same building as the Starbucks. FYI - that's the busiest Starbucks in the world.

Mandarake: If you like manga, this will blow your mind. Has some cool game items as well. Quite a few rarities. Prices are mediocre.

Dorama: Just down from Mandarake a bit. They have almost no used games anymore besides their bargain bins. Not sure why.

As far as I know, Dorama in Kichijoji have used games. Do you know, which Dorama-Stores have used games (SFC...) ?
