What it is
Super Potato Nipponbashi is the Osaka branch of Super Potato, a well-known Japanese retro-game chain that also runs stores in Akihabara, Ikebukuro and Nagoya. This branch occupies the 1st floor of the Hirata Building on Otaroad (Nipponbashi/Den Den Town), about 4 minutes' walk from Nankai Namba Station and about 7 minutes from Kintetsu Nippombashi Station Exit 4.
The shop stocks secondhand consoles and cartridges spanning early Famicom-era hardware through sixth-generation systems, including boxed and complete-in-box rarities, alongside retro-game merchandise and novelty snacks. It has been open on Otaroad since April 2012 and, like other Super Potato locations, is known for wide selection and premium pricing rather than bargain hunting — a browsing destination as much as a shopping one.
