About This Site

Japanese Retro Gaming Archive was founded with a clear mission: to introduce Japan’s classic video games that never saw release in North America, yet remain highly enjoyable even without Japanese language knowledge.

Our Mission

Many gems of the Famicom, Super Famicom, PC Engine, Mega Drive, and beyond were never officially exported. This site exists to highlight those titles and show that fun in gaming can transcend language barriers. By spotlighting accessible gameplay and unique design, we hope to inspire collectors and fans around the world.

Why It Matters

Retro games are not only entertainment, but also cultural artifacts. By documenting Japan-exclusive titles and making them visible to an international audience, we contribute to preserving gaming history for future generations.
