How to read these numbers
- Loose and CIB are never mixed. On many titles most of the gap lives in the box and manual.
- Sold vs. asking asymmetry. US prices come from PriceCharting, built from sold listings. Japanese prices are mostly shop and marketplace listings (asking prices), except where a sold median is noted — so every ratio is a guide, not gospel.
- Conversion is ¥150 = $1 throughout, the same rate used across the database.
- No US release? For Japan-only titles the US column shows the US import price of the Japanese version, labelled as such — that gap is mostly the import margin.
- Snapshot date: this database was generated 2026-11-13. Verify current listings before buying.
How to buy Gunstar Heroes from Japan
Copies in Japan are sold through domestic marketplaces and used-game shops that generally do not ship overseas, so most overseas collectors buy through a proxy (buying) service or a forwarding service. Our step-by-step guide covers how proxy services work, what the fees look like on a real example, and how to work out the total cost before you commit:How to Buy Retro Games from Japan. The wider picture is inthe price-gap guide, and every tracked title is on the price database page.
What to watch out for
- Loose: 移植・再発が非常に多く、価格は完品コレクター需要に寄る。検索で出る「駿河屋 ¥10,700」はゲームギア版の価格で流用不可
- Complete in box (CIB): 箱・説・ハングタブ付き完品かどうかで価格が決まる。MD版の状態別価格が取れたら再判定
