Retro Official Nintendo Web Pages (Japanese; lots of images)

[DarthGohan1]

I came across the official Animal Crossing Wild World website by Nintendo in Japan. For some reason they have left it up for almost 20 years. That got me going down the rabbit hole to see what other sites are still live. Surprisingly there are quite a few! I tried to compile some of the more popular or interesting looking ones if you'd like to take a look. And added some screenshots below too of some of the pages. Compared to Nintendo of America (which from what I can see hasn't left up any retro console or games web pages), Nintendo in Japan has done a great job of archiving a lot of their old consoles and games. Please share links or screenshots if you are able to find other consoles or games that I missed here, too!

This is literally... SO COOL! I am such a huge fan of old websites for some reason (I know it sounds weird but trust me) ITS SO FASCINATING! It takes you back to a time where you may not have even lived but gives you a feel for the communities around certain topics like Nintendo. Thanks for researching these!! I'll have to take a loong look later lol
