New overview trailer for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort! Kinda wish it just had every sport from the past games, but the new additions are very distinct. Matt will fall. Watch: youtu.be/0tX12iFeM88?...

Preorder displays for the new Japanese Nintendo Switch 2 bundle are already up. With this, the Splatoon Raiders set, and the upcoming Monster Hunter bundle, there’s a lot of options this holiday.

Some of the new Pokopia figures and sets! Crocalor doesn’t count, but you can invite him too.

Nintendo will launch a special bundle with either Mario Kart World, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, or Tomodachi Life on 11/12 in Japan! It’s 63,980 yen, so you’re nabbing a game for around 4,000. Mario Kart definitely has the biggest savings 🤔

This Ogrepon was made from discarded waste, so someone was crazy enough to throw away Super Mario Bros…

I’m playing through Theodora’s route now in Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave, and it’s impressive how different it is from Leda’s in both mechanics and story. I really love how the world of Dagda is fleshed out via all these vastly different perspectives.

Stumbled across the Japanese translation of Tim Summers’ The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: A Game Music Companion. Japan definitely has a way better cover.

Rhythm Heaven Groove ads are still up in some Tokyo train stations. Although it’s been out for nearly three months, it was the second best selling game in Japan in the past week!

It’s October 1st! That means we are less than three months away from The Duskbloods absolutely, totally, 100%, without a shadow of a doubt, releasing this year.

It would be neat if Intelligent Systems released Fire Emblem Cipher as a video game. It was a Japan only physical TCG that was discontinued years ago, but a game with all the cards and a campaign wrapped around it would be an interesting way to preserve the project.

Sonic the Exhibition -Across Generations- is a 35th anniversary exhibit coming to Ikebukuro Parco on 10/9! It will feature dev documents including things displayed for the first time, along with new merch. Tickets on sale now, but 10/9-11 is a lottery. More: art.parco.jp/parcomuseum/...

After playing an absolutely normal amount of Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave these past two weeks, I’ve cleared Leda’s path. Great characters, compelling story, awesome battles. I had no intention on playing the other routes, but the game smartly incentivizes doing so. Next up: Theodora!

Spotted Kiyokazu Arai’s signature at Junkudo Ikebukuro. You might know him from his work on Famitsu, Itadaki Street, and The Hokkaido Serial Murder Case.

I had Rowlet mochi at Pikachu Sweets today. Caramel flavor, which I’ve never had in mochi before but it was really good.

A real version of the Ditto rug from Pokopia at Bic Camera. And by real, I mean a sticker. But close enough!

Saw this on the side of a barber shop in Harajuku. Original characters, do not steal.

They’ve ripped down the big Fire Emblem display and replaced it with Zelda stuff, which is still six weeks away. Switch Sports Resort will have its day…

We’re now one week into Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave. It’s such an ambitious game that’s hard to put down. Although the main story tactics battles are excellent, there’s often a big gap between them which might annoy those who solely want to focus on those.

Legendary Pokemon Encounter: Legend Research is a Pokemon-themed mystery/puzzle-solving activity happening until 11/29 in Nihonbashi! You don’t need to participate in the actual game to see the displays though, but the merch shop does require a timed entry ticket.

I visited the Think with Pokemon: Art and Environment Education exhibit in Tokyo Midtown Yaesu! It features over 50 Pokemon made with trash to promote environmental awareness. I also talked to the student who made the Magikarp! The event runs until 9/27.

Nobuo Uematsu’s production notes on display at Final Fantasy X Museum in Shinjuku. You will never be as cool as Uematsu leaning while listening to someone play the sanshin, so stop trying.

Do you need multiple Katamari events? Tokyo has you covered with a pop up cafe in Ikebukuro and a Tokyo Tower event featuring activities and merch. I must’ve rolled up Tokyo Tower in at least one of the games. Cafe site: collabo-cafe.com/events/colla...

I visited the Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary exhibit happening now at Lumine 0 in Shinjuku! Not as good as the FFIX exhibit from last year, but there were some neat areas. And yes, the Anima shirt was sold out.
