Mickey No Pocket Resort is one of those weird little GBA games that feels like it fell through a time warp—it's a Japanese-exclusive Disney title where Mickey runs a tropical resort. You're basically managing this tiny island, building facilities, keeping guests happy, and occasionally dealing with random events like storms or surprise visits from Goofy. The pixel art is surprisingly charming, with Mickey waddling around in his little vacation outfit.

At first, I thought it was just another shallow management sim, but there's actually some strategy in balancing your budget and deciding what to upgrade next. The controls are simple, though the menus are entirely in Japanese—not a dealbreaker if you're used to retro imports, but don't expect a full English guide to pop up. It's the kind of game you play in short bursts while pretending you're on a beach somewhere. Definitely niche, but weirdly relaxing.
