They did, however, just open a new Super Potato in Nagoya last month so I guess the chain as a whole is doing pretty good.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-63811338240111911272015-01-09T14:17:52.861+09:002015-01-09T14:17:52.861+09:00Just standing outside Super Potato 7 now and it...Just standing outside Super Potato 7 now and it's still shuttered.

As you say the quality of everything there was quite high,which is nice. <br /><br />One thing I noticed was that Super Potato seemed to have a second location in Den Den town. There was a little shop on the main street with a Super Potato 7 sign on it. It was closed and shuttered when I went by so I couldn`t see what was in it, have you ever been there?Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-38693833036638791742013-09-07T15:49:19.170+09:002013-09-07T15:49:19.170+09:00Taking into account the selection of goodies avail...Taking into account the selection of goodies available, this is hands-down the best retro video game shop in Japan that I know of. Yes, the prices are on the high side. But the quality of the items (state of boxes and games) is usually also high, and you pay a premium for the fact that it is all there, waiting for you. The Tokyo branch is cool as well, but in my experience the Den-den town one is even better. This is also the original Super Potato. For years Super Potato only existed in the Kansai area, before they opened one in Tokyo. Did you know that the next door neighbor (Retro TV Game Revival) which you wrote about in the previous post is also part of the Super Potato empire?Erik Voskuilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635926073385633313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-35733155558675514382013-09-05T22:03:38.390+09:002013-09-05T22:03:38.390+09:00Thanks Johnny, love the blog!

I`m hoping to be able to make a trip up to Tokyo sometime in the next few months and if I do at least one afternoon will be set aside for Akihabara. I really want to see that throne made of Famicom carts if they still have it.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-38222149742637057092013-08-31T22:46:31.262+09:002013-08-31T22:46:31.262+09:00I've been to the one in Akihabara a few times....I've been to the one in Akihabara a few times.
