Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade preorder boxes for Switch 2! Seeing FFVII in any form on a Nintendo console is still a novelty for me.

Mario & Wario gets its first western release ever today thanks to NSO! Developed by Game Freak and directed by Satoshi Tajiri of Pokemon fame, you use the mouse to guide Mario to the goal while dodging obstacles. This has been one of my most anticipated NSO releases so I’m glad it’s finally here!

Yup, I’d say you can typically find one for under 5000 yen

Dragon Quest VII statues at Tokyo Game Show! I’m sure these things will be popping up in DQ themed exhibits here in Japan until the end of time.

Strange Hard Off find: a DS Lite with a USB C charger and a custom shell. Seems like a lot of effort to make it only to end up selling it.

Cyberpunk 2077 is the benchmark for third party ports on Switch 2. No wait, Star Wars Outlaws is the new benchmark. Hold on, actually it’s FFVII Remake. Ok, maybe it’s Resident Evil Requiem now…

Both the Switch and Switch 2 edition of Pokemon Legends Z-A have download cards! I much prefer the Switch 1 design though…

Nintendo Live 2025 Tokyo starts today at Tokyo Big Sight! Unfortunately I couldn’t make it this time, but everyone can watch the tournaments via the greatest software known to man: the Nintendo Today app!

Dragon Quest I&II HD2D, Mina the Hollower, and Stray Children all come out in a two day span. We gotta figure out how to freeze time.

Tokyo is gearing up for Pokemania: Kalos Edition! Shibuya Tsutaya will have a special Pokemon Legends Z-A exhibit from October 16, and Pokemon Centers will sell merch from the game! This is the best Z-A cosplay chance you’re gonna get!

Pokemon card takoyaki crane game! You use the crane to drop the ball in the takoyaki pan and you can win some cards. I think even grabbing the ball should net me one card.
