It’s far from perfect but I am just not super artistic. My daughter will have a Gravity Falls themed birthday party and I did my best to make a Bill Cipher piñata. I hope she likes it. #GravityFalls
Other than a Yoko Kanno CD restock, everything is Famicom today.
Restocked some of the Rockman games, Super Mario USA, Donkey Kong Jr, Thexder and more.
Of note, I was able to get another copy of Castlevania 3 (maybe the last one for a bit).

All Famicom today. One of my favorite platforms of all time. So many great games.

Disc Rot?
I run an online game/CD shop. More than 10,000 discs CD/DVD/LD/BD have passed through me. I test each one.
I find scratched discs for sure. And moldy disc in cases that also have moldy manuals.
But a pristine case with a “rotted” disc? Twice. 2 times in 15 years.
Mostly restocks (Um Jammer Lammy, Pillows, Perfume, Katamari, etc.) but you will notice a few new items (PS2 Kamen Rider, Xbox Tomb Raider). As for existing finished orders, they are getting shipped today. I hope you enjoy your games!

I am going to start 2026 off right. All listings today are boxed Super Famicom games. Great ones. The Tenchi Muyo SRPG is actually one of the first games I ever imported. Also Super Bomberman 2, Mana 2 and Sim City.

Weekend listings. Mostly restocks, but a few of these I have not had on the site before. Check out the Evangelion music game made by Suda 51. Also the Weird Mario Kart clone Astro Go! Go!

Feeling much better now. I will ship Yamato packages today. Also I listed games for 3 Super Famicom series. Dragon Ball Z, Rockman X, and for the first time ever, all 5 Super Bomberman games are in stock at the same time. Grab them while you can.

As promised, I listed things other than Famicom today. Some nice tunes, a Nintendo DS Pokemon puzzle game, Tobal No. 1, Bomberman Kart and some fun PSP games.

There's a new hosting team for the penultimate week of The Promised Land Minute!

Excellent games and tunes today. Daytona USA Circuit Edition and 2 Slayers games for the Sega Saturn. Sakura Wars 4 for the Dreamcast. Metal Gear 2. A really nice complete Tales of Destiny. Albums by Utada Hikaru, Two-Mix, Denki Groove and more!

No particular platform or theme for the games and CDs in the update today. I had a lot of fun with IQ Final and Macross Ace Frontier. Final Fantasy IX is a masterpiece, but if you follow me, odds are you already have a copy.

Restocks of some great tunes and PS1 classics. Parrapa and Um Jammer Lammy are OG must-have music games (and both have full English options). YMCK is excellent chip-tune music and if you like j-pop or 80's synth pop check out Tommy February 6.

All listings today are Sega Saturn restocks. And many of them, I would consider to be, must-have Saturn games.
Fighters Megamix, Daytona USA, Dead or Alive, Vampire Hunter, the 2 Nights games, Sega Rally, Puyo Puyo 2 and more.
SEGA!

New Hot Pot Gaming! I talk to @FamicomVinnk of @FamicomDojo and @JpnRetroDirect about what he likes about video games designed for kids, as well as the important role video games play in his family life.
We also talk about the Switch's impact in Japan.
