Super Potato is a chain of retro video game stores in Japan filled to the brim with equipment and merchandise for games that you've long forgotten. Their shop in Tokyo serves as a kind of flagship store for the chain and includes a vintage video game arcade, leaving lovers of old school video games grinning from ear to ear.
The third and fourth floors of Super Potato are a treasure trove for classic video game lovers, particularly those who played the classic Nintendo systems of the 1980's and 1990's. The store contains an impressive library of games from systems that are no longer available for sale elsewhere. Of course the games and equipment here are all the Japanese versions, which are sometimes a bit different from the versions that were sold overseas, so it's interesting to find familiar and much-loved machinery being sold under different names and manufactured in different styles and colors.
Super Potato also houses a rare collection of merchandise. Toys and gifts with video game themes are packed onto the shelves, from a business card case shaped like a Nintendo controller to key chains shaped like characters from Mega Man (only, it's called "Rock Man" in Japan). You can find an enormous collection of classic character stuffed animals, video game music soundtracks, and so on.
The fifth floor of Super Potato has a vintage video game arcade, with a nice collection of old games available to pump coins into while sipping on pop sold in glass bottles. The collection of machines isn't huge compared to other arcades, but there are a nice selection and enough memorable classic games to make it a nice finishing touch to the Super Potato experience.
