There are some in NJ, like Digital Press there are also some indy stores that sell a lot of used games in pretty good condition for fair prices. Seriously check out Digit Press' website it has pictures of their used games it's very impressive.

Wow this is awesome, definitely looking forward to Part 2. I've seen pictures of Super Potato before, but seeing it in action makes me want to get in there that much worse.

Look at all of those Super Famicoms! Lots of all kinds of systems actually.
I can't believe how many Game & Watches they had, I've always wanted one of those just as a piece of history.

Great stuff but you need to work on the voice over / music volume balance a little. Music is too loud.

Two thumbs up.  That is really cool!  If I ever get to visit Japan, I'd love to go there.

There was a beard?

Did you use the Casino Night Zone music because I requested it for Radio Trivia and you don't like me enough to use the full game?

It's a special redesigned SMB with different levels (including some from SMB2J):

By the way, where does the name "Super Potato" come from?

I'm a little late to the party, but I finally got around to watching these videos.  They're great!  Hopefully by bumping this I can draw some much-needed attention to them.  ;)

TYP has a boyish charm to him.  When he smiles he looks like he belongs on the cover of Tiger Beat.  ;D
