Collecting classic retro video games in America has been a little crazy for the past couple years and by that I mean crazy expensive. However collecting classic retro video games in Japan is way different and way better.

There are so many classic retro games that are better, different, cooler, and way way cheaper if you get the Japanese version instead. Buying Japanese games in the West is easier than it's ever been. In this video, I'm going to cover five Famicom games and five Super Famicom games to show you what I'm talking about. In this video series I am going to point out what games that are significantly cheaper to get a Japanese version and what games are better than the Western version. And significantly cheaper is always better.
