I still need to get my Saturn modded somewhere somehow... But yeah, a lot of Japanese Saturn stuff is so cheap it's awesome.

Tetsuwan Convoy is the man to speak to about Saturn mods! He had one done a few years back, and last i spoke to him, was going to try another place soon for a second Saturn.

The simpler solution is an Action Replay 4M Auto plus cart from Play-Asia. Not all games work perfectly but most are fine.

Sweet acquisition dude, the character & that mask are absolutely friggin' awesome!

Mine all worked. The only one that won't work on the psn is the aruguls tomb dlc pack as it isn't released for a while and is a pc code for a email for a psn code when it is available

Couple more gaming acquisitions whilst still in Japan:

• Uncharted Golden Abyss, Dokuro, Pro Baseball Spirits 2012 and a Cradle for PSVita
• Star Wars Episode 1 Racer for N64, for 100Y!
• Famicom Colour GBA SP (Until now i've been forced to use my Gamecube Gameboy player to play original GB games, but no more!). It'll also properly honour Super Gameboy colour palettes which the Gameboy Player doesn't, giving me an excuse to replay Donkey Kong '94! Plus it looks freaking cool and has the best brightness of all the GBA models

Went to Takeda Castle Ruins today ... in the mountains of Wadayama, Japan. Awesome in itself, but it wasn't the only sight i saw today!
My inlaws and their eagle eyes spotted a recycle/used shop and stopped the car for me.
It looked promising, the outer walls covered in printouts of game covers.
Then i stepped inside:
The Mother Load
Saturn & PS1 section (would you believe, no MK2 for PS1 despite the thousands of games on offer)

The prices were a bit higher (but still very reasonable) than DenDenTown for games, but the accessories were plenty cheap, and the range even better!
It appears this store is the sole retro games store for a few towns, probably accounting for their massive amount of stock.

Managed to come out with the wallet relatively unscathed thankfully... gotta save some for next time too!
