Game On: Japan’s Digital Worlds, Past and Present

Japan is the beating heart of the global gaming industry—home to legendary creators, iconic franchises, and genre-defining innovation. From the pixel-perfect nostalgia of retro arcade games to the immersive worlds of Final Fantasy, Zelda, and Persona, Japanese games are more than entertainment—they’re cultural landmarks.

Our Gaming section dives deep into Japan’s digital legacy, exploring game reviews, behind-the-scenes stories, industry insights, and the growing impact of anime-inspired RPGs, indie developers, and gaming subcultures.

Step into the worlds crafted by Nintendo, Sega, Bandai Namco, and more—where gameplay meets storytelling, and every console generation leaves its mark on pop culture.
