We are so glad you that you chose to visit us today. 20 years ago today, Sega released the Mega Drive in Japan and today we have something new to show you as well. What started as an idea four years ago to help people acquire import video game will today expand into a community of gamers united in a common interest. It will also stand as a resource for Japanese gaming information and discussion.

Rising Stuff is dedicated to Japanese retro gaming. We will cover classic games and the consoles they play on. Many of these have never made it out of the land of the rising sun. We will try to cover obscure system like the PC-FX, Wonderswan and Playdia as well as the better-known systems like the Mega Drive, Neo-Geo, Saturn, PC-Engine and Famicom Disk System. For some of these systems our news and reviews might be the first ever written in English. And if you are an expert on any of these systems or games yourself, we are always looking for new contributors.

And don’t worry, the Rising Stuff Store is still here providing you with the games you are looking for at the prices you want, with the service you deserve.

So please join us in our forums and chat room. Our mods and admins are here to help you feel welcome and answer any questions you might have. If you enjoy playing Japanese games you have come to the right place. Welcome home.
