Japanese Gamestop?

Does Japan have Gamestop, or something like it? I'd like to have somewhere physical to buy my games/gear.

You should visit super potato and gamers if you're in tokyo

No matter where you are in Japan there will be a store selling games not that far away. And if you are in a city of any size at all, then my friend you are in for the best surprise of your life. Imagine a place the size of a grocery store, chock full of video games from every generation, accessories, anime, manga, figures, posters, music cds, etc. Gamestop is nothing compared to these places.

Then of course there is Akihabara which is on a whole 'nother plane all its own.

Places to buy games/access./systems:

Geo
Tsutaya (sometimes)
Doki Doki
Super Potato
Book Off
Sofmap

Thanks everyone for the replies. Can't wait to get to these stores.

if you can't visit the stores above, there's always Bic Camera and Yodobashi nearby

I guess it's a little late to say, but I'll be living in Mitaka, Tokyo.

Go visit Super Potato in Akihabara. Lots of cool stuff and retro games and consoles. I felt like I went back in time as a little kid. Even if you don't buy anything, it's a fun place to check out.

All depends on what your looking for, new stuff can be had at Softmap, bic camera & yodobashi camera and these are chain stores nationwide.

Older stuff is harder to come by, you will need to go to akihabara and stores such as book off, hard off, kanteidan and trader. but take note that akihabara is a tourist trap and they price accordingly! there is a great selection but at far higher prices than anywhere else.

There's also a smaller Super Potato in Ikebukuro, slightly better prices than the Akihabara branch I think.
