Wouldn't this be a specialty store? A general store in Kagoshima carries a ton of Super Famicom software (Photo Gallery)

It looks like Kyushu is becoming a new spot for retro games.

The "Strawberry Fields" variety store of Shibushi, Kagoshima Prefecture appears to have an unusually large collection of SFC (Super Famicom), SS (Sega Saturn) and other retro games.

I've grown to really miss getting drunk with friends, playing games such as Super Wagan Land 2...

Besides a wide selection of new software, plenty of used games in relatively good condition were also being sold. "Isn't this actually a game shop?" I began wanting to ask the store, which maintains that it deals in everything.

It’s become a rare occurrence in this day and age for even specialty game shops to deal with Super Famicom and Sega Saturn software. Considering the scope of titles, minor to major, and how many of them are in excellent condition on top of that, it could be said that this store feels miraculous.

In the store, while holding an (alcoholic) drink in one hand and thinking of how fun these games were…I thought of how it would be a good location to hold an event. People could gather and noisily reminisce on the games of the past.

専門店じゃないの? 大量すぎるSFCソフトを扱う鹿児島の雑貨屋さん(ギャラリーあり)

九州のレトロゲーマーの新名所になりそうですな。

鹿児島県志布志市にある「ストロベリーフィールズ」という雑貨屋に、尋常じゃない数のSFC(スーパーファミコン)やSS(セガサターン)などのレトロゲームが集まっているそうです。

『スーパーワギャンランド2』とか懐かしすぎて酒盛りしたくなるぜ...

扱っているソフトの多くが新品で、中古の商品も比較的状態の良いものが多く、「本当はゲームショップなんじゃないの?」と言いたくなりますが、お店はあくまで雑貨屋なのだとか。

今では、ゲームショップでSFCSSなどのソフトを扱っている事自体が珍しい時代になってしまいました。 そう考えると、メジャーなタイトルからマイナーなタイトルまで幅広く、しかも大量に保管されていたのは奇跡と言えるような気がします。

このお店で酒を片手に「このソフト面白かったよなー」と、ワイワイと思い出話ができるイベントでもあればいいのになぁ...
