Photo of the Nintendo 3DS game “Bravely Default” with box, cartridge, and electronic manual sheet. The cover features the main party of characters in a fantasy landscape with a painted art style.

#CollectionSpotlight

Still one of the best JRPGs on the 3DS.
Bravely Default brought back job systems, turn-based combat, and gorgeous hand-drawn visuals — and it did it with style.
So glad to have this in the collection.

Photo of “The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass” for Nintendo DS with game case, cartridge, and manual arranged on a wooden surface. The cover shows Link steering a red ship with Tetra beside him, on a stylized ocean.

#CollectionSpotlight
Zelda on the DS felt like magic back then — especially Phantom Hourglass.
Touch controls, sea travel, and that time-based dungeon mechanic… it was bold and super fun.
Still love this one!

Photo of the Nintendo DS game “Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker” with game case, cartridge, and instruction manual on a wooden surface. The cover features the main character surrounded by a variety of classic Dragon Quest monsters like Slime, Golem, and more, in colorful anime-style artwork.

Highlighting Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker for Nintendo DS — a spin-off that deserves more love!
I’ve always enjoyed monster collecting games, and this one blends Dragon Quest charm with fun mechanics.
Glad to have it back in the collection!

Photo of the PS2 game “Shaman King: Power of Spirit” including the case, disc, and manual. The cover shows various Shaman King characters in a dynamic, colorful anime composition laid out on a wooden surface.

#CollectionSpotlight
Back to the Shaman King universe with Power of Spirit.
The mix of strategy and arena brawling is a bit odd — but I’ve always had a soft spot for the series, so I’m in.
Big anime energy in a PS2 package.

Photo of the PS2 game “Gungrave” with its case, disc, and manual. The cover shows the main character wielding two large guns in a gritty anime style. All items are arranged on a wooden background.

#CollectionSpotlight
Is it over-the-top? Absolutely.
A bit janky? Yep.
But Gungrave has this weird charm that makes blasting through waves of enemies genuinely fun.
Stylish, edgy, and unapologetically PS2.

Photo of the GameCube game “Scooby-Doo! Unmasked” with its case, disc, and instruction booklet on a wooden surface. The cover art shows Scooby and Shaggy frightened by monsters in a cartoonish haunted setting.

#CollectionSpotlight
Scooby-Doo has always had a place in my heart — cartoons, movies… and yes, the games too!
Unmasked may not be a classic, but it captures the goofy charm and spooky fun I love.
Zoinks!

Photo of the Japanese Game Boy Advance game “Rockman.EXE 4: Blue Moon” (Mega Man Battle Network 4) including the box, cartridge in tray, and manual. A black GBA SP and an orange original GBA are also visible, all arranged on a wooden surface. The box features colorful anime artwork of Lan and MegaMan.EXE.

#CollectionSpotlight
Mega Man with a twist — Battle Network 4 (Blue Moon)!
As a kid, I loved the idea of walking through a world where you could jack into anything and have MegaMan.EXE by your side.
The real-time grid battles, the net world, the style… it all felt so futuristic and personal.
