So, Card Captor - Sakura Card Friends is one of those GBA games that flew under the radar unless you were deep into the anime. It’s based on the third season of Cardcaptor Sakura, and yeah, it’s got that classic early 2000s anime game vibe—bright colors, simple mechanics, and a lot of charm if you’re into the series.

You basically play as Sakura, running around collecting Clow Cards (and later Sakura Cards) while chatting with friends like Tomoyo and Syaoran. The battles are turn-based but super straightforward—pick a card, watch the animation, rinse and repeat. Not exactly deep, but it’s fun if you just want to relive the show’s energy.

Honestly, unless you’re a fan of the anime, it might feel a bit thin. But if you grew up with Sakura’s adventures, there’s something nostalgic about seeing it all in pixel form.
