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.

So today is all Super Famicom games. Another of my favorite systems and one where it is super easy to mod a US system to play Japanese games (or get an adaptor). Super Metroid, Panel de Pon and Wonder Project J stand out for me today but lots more good stuff.

Shipping day today for Japan Post packages (Yamato will hopefully be tomorrow). I can't wait for the 3 of you to get your games and CDs.
I have way less orders these days, but that just makes each one more special to me. And hopefully to you as well.
Enjoy!

Today is entirely Nintendo 64 restocks. All tested (some of them on stream yesterday). It's a great time to collect for Japanese N64 right now. The prices on a lot of games are still reasonable and it is not difficult to get a converter for JPN games on a US system.
