Shenmue and Virtua Fighter 3 were planned to come out on the accelerator, but both games were moved to Dreamcast.

According to a former engineer at Sega, a graphics accelerator card was in development for the Sega Saturn, but it was canceled in favor of the Dreamcast.

If I had to guess how it would have worked, it might be similar to the RAM cartridge shown in the picture, or a 32X-like adapter.

Also, the Yokohama team won, and I celebrated by purchasing some of their merchandise.

I saw a baseball game while I was in Japan back in spring 2024, and I became an instant fan of Japanese baseball, and this is coming from a person who is not a fan of sports.

The crowd on each side of the stadium cheered for their team, and I had a lot of fun cheering on the Yokohama team.

Happy Mar10 Day!

Another online order came in the mail, and I got more games for the Sega Saturn. I'll talk about these in due time, but the fact of the matter is that I now have all the Clockwork Knight games.

I have another online order coming later this week, so I'm excited for that.

For some reason, when I play Sonic Adventure 2, I think of SnapCube's videos on the game, which ends up with me bursting into laughter.

In other words, I can't take Sonic Adventure 2 seriously anymore.

Indeed it does.

Although I recommend getting the Japanese version because it's cheaper if you know where to look.

Sega Rally Championship is a fun game in the arcade, and so is the version on Sega Saturn. However, outside of Time Attack mode, the game is rather lacking in content: three tracks to choose from, with an unlockable track when getting first place in Arcade mode. In the end, it's a good port.

Also, I plan on meeting AVGN and Nostalgia Critic since I've been a fan of their work since the mid to late 2000s. I plan on getting their signatures first thing, and if possible, I might take a picture with them.

I can't believe Game On Expo is next weekend. In terms of video games I'm looking for, besides GameCube games, I'm looking for Japanese games for PS1, PS2, and Sega Saturn. So I hope the person who sold me a ton of Japanese games last time is there.

I see people are having fun with the Pokopia Font Generator, so I figured I'd have fun as well.

I stopped at a Book Off somewhere between Fujisawa and Yokohama, and I forgot the name of the stop, but at least I took these pictures.

Here's the final part of the Enoshima pictures, and I found the spot where the birds attacked Bocchi. Also, I found a Triforce.

Here's the second part of the Enoshima pictures. Yeah, I took a lot of ocean shots; that's because the ocean in Japan looks beautiful.
