U.S. tourist David Madrigal is over the moon after paying $200 for a "vintage" console at a busy Tokyo store that is tapping into booming global demand for retro gaming kit.
"When I came into this store, I was like a kid walking into a candy shop," Madrigal, 23, said at Super Potato in the Akihabara district, famous for its pop culture shops.
