OK, some possibly good news (in a bad situation). I just contacted Yamato and they will still ship to the US. It's a very expensive method for small orders (1-2 games) but it's a flat fee up to 2kg. So orders of 7+ games often come out cheaper than airmail. But please read the next post (1/2)
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.

To all my American friends. I know this year has been rough for many of you. But I hope you still have many things and people to be thankful for this year. Let’s look forward to next year with the belief that things will improve. Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

Lots of boxed N64 games today. I don't list boxed stuff so often because it's getting harder to find but I was happy to get these recently. Also some great music(hide and Otsuka Ai), a PC Engine platformer I haven't had on the site before and some PS2 restocks.

Thank you so much! I know the tariffs suck but thank you for supporting me despite them. Enjoy the games and music!
Another amazing haul from @japanretrodirect.bsky.social great selection of games: a Famicom cart, some Super Famicom, Game Boy, DS and a few music CDs.
A great experience again, top-notch service and a fun selection to pick from, well worth it, even those tariffs, always fun to look forward to.

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.
