New releases are here too! Love & Berry
https://www.tiktok.com/@yokopii/video/7474866054859099400In arcades and in corners of big malls, the game Oshare Majo Love and Berry stood out, drawing crowds of girls.
Of course, it wasn’t just girls—boys and adults lined up too, cheering and groaning over the cards that came out and how the game unfolded.
In fact, Love and Berry was developed as the girls’ counterpart to Mushi King: The King of Beetles, which was enjoying explosive popularity at the time.
There was even a Nintendo DS version that came with a card reader, so you could play Love and Berry on it.
Who knows—maybe there are still some Love and Berry cards sleeping in the back of your big sister’s desk!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
The 1998 anime often considered the origin of the series, Yu-Gi-Oh!, is a work whose appeal lies in its horror-tinged atmosphere from the early manga and its thrilling developments.
After the protagonist, Yugi Mutou, solves the ancient Egyptian Millennium Puzzle, a second persona emerges, who judges evil through Shadow Games and resolves incidents.
Not only Yugi’s friends but also the villains are strikingly unique, and their relationships further heighten the drama.
The in-story card game, Magic and Wizards, became the basis for Duel Monsters, which then expanded and led to everything that followed—making this a work that can truly be called the beginning of a legend.
In conclusion
Did it make you feel nostalgic? That said, there are still popular series that continue to release new entries even now.
It’s also fun to compare how those toys were back then and how they are today! This makes a great topic for reminiscing with friends, too!
