64 Hanafuda - Tenshi no Yakusoku is one of those weirdly charming N64 games that makes you go, "Wait, they made a Hanafuda game for this console?" At first glance, it’s just traditional Japanese flower cards—bright, seasonal designs, the usual Koi-Koi rules—but then these little angels show up, guiding you through matches with this oddly sweet story mode. The visuals pop way more than you’d expect from a card game on the N64, with these dreamy pastel backgrounds.

It’s not just about slapping down cards, though. There’s actual strategy in chasing combos, and the AI doesn’t go easy on you. Took me a few rounds to stop getting steamrolled by the CPU’s sneaky plays. If you’re into Hanafuda or just curious about niche Japanese titles, this one’s a surprisingly polished take on the classic game.
