I usually play PC games these days and have been thinking about buying a Playstation 4 or Nintendo Switch, but aside from a couple games...most new games don't interest me.
I'm steering more toward just buying a retro console to play some games I grew up playing, which would be much more fun.
I have been to Super Potato in Akihabara, but I know there are various other retro game/console shops in this area that I'm planning to check out next time I go to Tokyo.
Does anyone know if any of these shops sell English versions of retro consoles or games?
I realize it is Japan and most likely the answer is no because most of the customers are Japanese. I can understand Japanese pretty well, but some RPG games I enjoy playing have really deep stories that will be difficult to really follow all the way through in Japanese...
I'm trying to avoid buying an English console with games online and having them shipped from overseas, which will cost a small fortune due to the weight.
The console I mainly want is a Playstation 2, but a Playstation 4 with the software set to the English language is OK too, but I want to play classic Playstation 1 and Playstation 2 games on a Playstation 4 without using services like this: https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/can-finally-play-ps2-games-ps4-heres-3465834
Are there any Playstation gamers on here that have come across English games here in Japan?
