What is the best Japanese store to buy PC engine games and or hardware or rare game consoles?

Do you mean an actual shop, or a web store?

Does Super Potato sell to foreign devils? :shock:

unfortunatelly they don't :oops:
-
My favorite Japanese places that sell PCE goods to people in the US would be Hit Japan, and Yamatoku.

I haven't shoped at japan hit video games, but I can recomend yamataco for some good service and excellent prices :)
-
Be sure to give http://stores.ebay.com/DREAM-STARS-JAPAN a try. The prices are usually not very cheap but he has some quality stuff and he's pleasant to trade with.
-
:-s His prices have really gone up. I think you would be better off avoiding stores with insane prices. But its up to you :wink:
-
Toshi's service @ Dream Stars Japan is unmatched.
However, I'm not sure it justifies the high prices anymore. He used to have some pretty good deals on loose HuCards, though.

japan's game stock used to be great but I just recently did an order with them.
Even if you set the order up in japanese yen. they end up sending you invoice in either US/EURO currency depending on where you live and the invoice total changes adding a few $$$ to the previous japanese order because of the difference in currency

God I wish there was a game store that is devoted to classic game systems like Super Potato here in the US. I know there is Digitpress in NJ but they hardly ever have anything TG-16 related.

I was very pleased when I used Dream Stars Japan back when summer was starting. Outstanding selection, fantastic prices (I got Legend of Xanadu 2 and Neo Metal Fantasy for like $20-30 shipped!), and amazing shipping!

Yeah the exchange rate can hurt ya still so far,JGS has worked for me.
If it's one game,i use airmail and pay with a ipmo.If it's a more then "one then i use ems for shipping instead and pay useing the card.
Nuff said.

It depends on what you're looking for. Toshi has sometimes really good bargains on some games, mostly in the sell-out section. Furthermore he's number one when it comes to sealed stuff or rare games.
