My trip to Akihabara (video and pics inside!)

Most of you already know about Super Potato, but if you don't, you just need to know it's hands down the best retro gaming store in the world, in both size (3 floors!) and quantity of games.

The second floor has newer games, but nothing beyond PS1 that I could see.
The third floor is a retro arcade. And Solid Snake.
See the rest of the Super Potato pictures (and other pics of Japan) here!
