More Sega Saturn restocks. A lot of classics like Shining Wisdom, Sega Rally, VIrtua Fighter Kids, Christmas Nights, Fighting Vipers and my favorite version of the puzzle game Columns, Sakura Wars: Hanagumi Taisen Columns. Next update won't be only Saturn, I promise.

I noticed a lot of Sega Saturn stuff has been sold. So today it's all Sega Saturn restocks. Fun stuff too. Still a lot to restock, but it's decent start.

Special thanks today to my French customers. Now that Japan Post isn't sending to the US (only Yamato right now) my sales to America dropped off a lot. But a country whose people have consistently been there for me with orders, kind words and support has been France. And good taste in games too!

This weeks orders are going out today. Again, it’s quality rather than quantity. And these 4 people are (I hope) going to be super happy when they get these. That thought keeps me going.

People really snapped up those boxed N64 games I put up yesterday. Today I have some boxed Super Famicom games. I expect these might go quickly too considering it's some of the best games on the platform. Also some PS2 restocks and 2 games never in the shop before.

Finally some good news. While I can still only ship via Yamato to the US, Japan Post will resume packages to Canada. I am shipping to all the Canadian customers who chose to have me hold their packages rather than refund. I will get them out today. Also updating shipping options on the site now.

Feeling sad today due to the loss of the amazing @burgerbecky.bsky.social so I am distracting myself by listing games. Beyond my own personal donation, I will donate a portion of my November sales to her funeral fund.

So today is all Super Famicom games. Another of my favorite systems and one where it is super easy to mod a US system to play Japanese games (or get an adaptor). Super Metroid, Panel de Pon and Wonder Project J stand out for me today but lots more good stuff.

Shipping day today for Japan Post packages (Yamato will hopefully be tomorrow). I can't wait for the 3 of you to get your games and CDs.
I have way less orders these days, but that just makes each one more special to me. And hopefully to you as well.
Enjoy!
