Does this mean they’ll be shipping soon? I ordered one a few months back, and am looking forward to playing on my consolized MVS with a proper stick

My #italkiRefresh @italkioffical.bsky.social isn’t quite as impressive but I’m hoping I can be more consistent with it in 2026. Ideally I’d like to do at least one lesson per week…

This is the one console I haven’t yet got into collecting. I think I need to learn more Japanese before I can really appreciate most of the library

I normally loathe end of year summaries, but I am happy with the amount of progress I’ve made in Japanese this year studying with my @italkioffical.bsky.social sensei and then using @bunprosrs.bsky.social to review concepts daily. I still have a long way to go but I can tell I am improving.

I work for a small studio of industry veterans that is building emulation technology to enable commercial rereleases of classic games on modern platforms. Our company is @implicitconversions.com and we’d love it if you gave us a follow.

I had the same experience a couple weeks ago. My charitable explanation is they get a LOT more tourists now so maybe people are happy to see anyone make an effort? I had a couple cab drivers ask me if I lived in Japan, which I chose to accept as a compliment even though my Japanese is N4 at best.

Came back from Japan with a suitcase full of kanji training apps. Currently using the top right premium app as it has IMO the best UX for teaching to write if you didn’t learn in school but curious if anyone here has a favorite DS app for practicing kanji #japanese #kanji #languagelearning

Flying back home after a very fun two weeks. As usual after an event I feel reenergized and exciting about the future of games. I will miss the food but it’s been too long since I’ve seen my wife and my dog.

Can’t believe TGS is nearly over. Had another amazing day of showing Milano and Micro Mages and networking with other indies. Then had an amazing team ramen dinner followed by sick deals at the local book off. Got this kanji game for less than 1/3 what it goes for on eBay.

When I first started in gaming, I was so jealous that my bosses at Namco had business cards in both English and Japanese. Now I have achieved this and am presenting my work at Tokyo Game Show. I feel as though after 20 years finally I’m a real game developer.

Today was so fun! I met my italki sensei in person after more than a year of zoom classes and went for a hike with her and her husband in Arima Onsen. Then I went back to Tokyo and ate some amazing cold crab ramen and also found two kanji games I was looking for at the Akiba Book Off.

Couple fun finds from the Osaka area shops today. I’m very pumped about this Club Nintendo DK stylus since I’ve been mostly using the 3DS to practice kanji lately and it feels like holding a regular pen

It’s very disheartening to hear so many people say “日本語上手” to me when I know my Japanese is still beginner level. On the other hand I guess I choose to believe they say this to foreigners simply as a way to acknowledge that they appreciate the effort to learn and speak their language, even if badly
