US tourist David Madrigal is over the moon after paying US$200 for a “vintage” console at a busy Tokyo store that is tapping into booming global demand for retro gaming equipment.
“When I came into this store, I was like a kid walking into a candy shop,” says Madrigal, 23, at Super Potato in the Akihabara district, famous for its Japanese pop culture shops.
“This stuff is my passion. I love older consoles,” he says. The PS Vita that he bought is a console released in 2011 that “would usually cost me about US$600 in the US”.
Super Potato has three floors packed with Game Boy cartridges, Sega Dreamcast consoles wrapped in plastic and antiquated arcade machines where nostalgic customers can play Street Fighter II again.
