My local Yamada Denki still has new old stock of 3DS, Wii, and Wii U games. For example here is LoZ Skyward Sword for Wii. 19 new unopened copies.
It would be cheaper to buy the Switch remake than the original.

Mt Fuji is visible on this crisp autumn morning. There is a moderately busy road leading to Mt Fuji. Camera distortion makes the mountain look a lot closer than it really is. Looking at the Mt Fuji with a busy street. Back of camera view.

I replaced the sticks with these clear ones a few months ago. However they didn’t fit right, like they sat too far down. Saw online that this is common Chinese 3rd market parts and the person suggested putting foil in the hole to make it fit better. It worked and feels great. #gamecube

Went to Tokyo today for the JALT conference. Meet people from when I lived in Kyoto and Nagano.
Black and white Japanese back street with Docomo Tower lined up in the middle. Really not that original looking.

Long exposure with light painting of a ghost. Right behind is a tori gate and then there is Iida city off in the distance. The ghost light painting is multicolored and it makes the multicolors of the city.
