Cars and retro games from Japan. Mostly. Again.
It always seemed _really_ bizarre that this collection was never on Switch, as it's a perfect fit for the platform (was there some sort of licensing thing going on)? So it's great to see this finally get a release.

Also, SNES Goof Troop is a totally legit game, so that's even better.

Here it is! Been waiting for this one for a while.

Gooood morning from sunny Oceanside, CA where it’s a beautiful day to drive the all-new Honda Prelude!!!!

No joke, for years I thought the name of this game was "X Granada X"

As it is, in fact, the last day of work for me this year, I'm re-posting this Konami banger. Again, this entire OST is fantastic and deserves a listen.
Last work day of the year, for who, huh? Fine, I'll play...

(Motocross Maniacs 2 has an absolutely ridiculous OST, by the way. Top tier Konami jams all around.)

Gotta love it when you're having corn flakes for breakfast and the exact curvature of the top flake creates a little ski jump for milk to splash all over the table

Sure, you've watched Netflix, but have you ever wondered if you could _eat_ Netflix? If so, House Foods has this spicy black curry just for you.

(There's a whole line of Netflix-themed foods at Japanese 7-11 stores, if you can believe it.)

Ho Ho Ho! For this holiday season, we have 'Santa Claus no Takarabako' - a Christmas game for the Famicom! This is the cover artwork.

One of the more bizarre tie-ups that I've seen in Japan, drink maker Cheerio teamed with Japan's various Self-Defense Force branches for special designs of their Jungleman energy drink. (Each of the three designs would come out randomly. I got the Air Self-Defense Force version.)

I hope there are people at Honda America just waiting to greenlight federalizing the current-gen Fit once *some* number crosses another on a spreadsheet graph

They’re still being made! Still selling well! www.honda.co.jp/Fit/

If you pre-ordered Nintendo World Championships for Switch from Yodobashi Camera, you got this neat dual acrylic Super Mario Bros keychain as a bonus. However, this falls into the category of "something too nice to ever actually use", so into the storage box it goes.

Starting from March 2026, you can ship items on a special Shinkansen train car that is specially designed for logistics use - no seats or anything. An interesting business case, as I don't think there is exactly a surplus of empty Shinkansen trains running around. Has to be tremendously expensive.

The refreshed Subaru Forester just won the prestigious Japan Car of the Year award. It's only received mildly positive reviews in the States (comfortable and practical but not exciting, like other Subaru SUVs), so it's interesting to see the gap in evaluation between the two countries.

I lost my job, my kid can't get a job to begin with, and my insurance premiums are literally doubling. But at least America will once again be a country where no car gets more than 20 MPG.

Saw the latest issue of Famitsu magazine at a conbini. For years, that would have been an instant buy for me, but as I looked through the issue, there was hardly a single thing of interest. I put it back on the shelf. Has the industry really changed that much? Am I really thay old? Don't answer.

Yes, Nissan has had financial problems as of late, but that hasn't stopped them from being the leading sponsor for Sazae-san, one of Japan's longest running and most beloved television shows. If this ends, though, it's definitely not a good sign.

JP retailers keep pushing Black Friday as the hot new thing, and... I just don't see the demand for it. The Friday after the 4th Thursday in November is just a regular weekday. People are working. Kids are going to school. There's no time to shop, even online. Completely top-down phenomenon.

Dug out my old PS3 only to find out that:

-My HDMI monitor doesn't have speakers or an audio jack
-Apparently the PS3 connects to Bluetooth headphones but not really?
-You can try to connect USB to the PS3 headphones but they don't do anything

So, Sega Ages Hang-On w/o sound it is then...

Boss Coffeee and Dragon Quest have a collaboration going on, and the graphic design team at Suntory is really getting into it. Like how they've incorporated the design motifs from each brand here.

OK, so Honda will not sell you an S660 anymore, but they are now offering an N-ONE kei with turbo engine, tuned suspension, special interior/badging, and, importantly, a 6-speed manual transmission. I'm interested.
