Almost there with my next video, focused on the mighty WonderSwan.
Here’s a small preview, zooming in on a title that perfectly matches my taste: Japanese horror.
Ring Infinity (リング ∞, 2000) is one of the more unusual releases for the WonderSwan.
More WonderSwan titles coming soon in the full video!

A tribute to this brilliant but often overlooked handheld from the ’90s. From my Mark I and II consoles to my favourite games and mods, the modern Analogue Pocket to play Lynx games… a love letter to a console that deserved more.

After the 1988 Bandai model of Kaneda’s iconic bike, here’s another gem: the Bandai Soul of Popynica version of Kaneda’s bike from Akira. Released in 2004 as part of Bandai’s Soul of Popynica line, this is a ridiculously detailed, die-cast piece straight out of Otomo’s manga and the 1988 movie.
