Get overwhelmed by nostalgia in these Akihabara Retro Game Stores!

 

Newest games usally get people excited, but there are still many of us who like retro classics. Even though the number of retro stores in Akihabara has been decreasing, there are still a lot of them. Today we will introduce you three retro game stores!

 

Retro Game Camp welcomes the customers with a stuffed Mario!

You will recognize the place immediately for its stuffed Mario and a colorful signboard. It is located right next to Tsukumo Ex. on the main street. The inside of the store is long and narrow so, be careful not to get carried away looking for products. You can easily bump into other customers. On the other side, the basement is very wide and comfortable. 

As you can tell from their stuffed Mario, most of the games they sell are produced by Nintendo. 

You can discover many other retro games store while you are looking for Mario. Don’t forget to check out the as-is cassettes carelessly displayed on the ground. 

 

Surugaya – popular for its online store!

It is a relatively new retro game store located behind Saizeriya on the main street. It may look a bit small, but there are many games you can play on consoles from the 90s and onwards. We expecially recommend this store for Playstation users because there are many playstation games. 

 

Retro games are sold on the second floor in the main store!
