Nakayoshi Pet Advance Series 3 Kawaii Koneko is one of those cute little GBA pet sims that flew under the radar—probably because it never left Japan. You get this tiny, ridiculously expressive kitten to take care of, and honestly, the animations are way better than they needed to be for a game like this. The cat stretches, chases its tail, and even gives you that slow-blink "I love you" look when it's happy.

At first, it feels like a Tamagotchi clone, but there’s more to it—you can decorate its space, play mini-games to earn treats, and even dress it up in silly little outfits. The controls are simple (it’s a GBA game, after all), but the charm is in the details, like how your cat’s mood changes if you ignore it for too long. Just don’t expect deep gameplay—it’s pure digital pet comfort food.

If you’re into retro Japanese oddities or just want something low-stakes to unwind with, this one’s a surprisingly cozy time capsule.
