Den Den Town has often been called "Osaka's answer to Akihabara", due to being the best place in the city to shop for electronics, anime products, and games, so inevitably I had to check it out. It is home to quite a few different game stores, which includes one of the city's three Super Potatos, which is located on Ota Road.
The store is an absolute cave of wonders that features an impressive selection of titles for a large number of consoles — in both boxed and unboxed condition. This makes it a joy to browse through as there's so much incredible stuff to find and you'll never quite know what you'll come across while sifting through the decades upon decades of video game history.
Should you decide to visit the store, you'll encounter the familiar statues of Naked Snake and Mario (which are also on display in the Akihabara branch) outside, before coming across a wall of plushies and merch surrounding the cash register on the right of the entrance. Meanwhile, on the left, you'll see a bunch of glass cases that are crammed full of Game Boy Advance games — many of which sport the inflated Super Potato prices I referred to before.
That's not to say I left the store empty-handed, as I ended up dropping a not-insignificant sum on another four Goemon games (Goemon: New Age Shutsudō!, Kessakusen! Ganbare Goemon 1 & 2,Ganbare Goemon: Tengu-tō no Gyakushū!, and Ganbare Goemon: Ōedo Daikaiten).
