Okay, so Pukupuku Tennen Kairanban Koi no Cupid Daisakusen is one of those weird, charming little GBA games that never left Japan—which is a shame, because it’s got this quirky dating sim/board game hybrid thing going on. You’re basically Cupid, rolling dice and moving around this pastel-colored board to set up couples while dodging obstacles like grumpy teachers or bad weather. The art’s super cute, like a 90s shoujo manga come to life.

At first, I had no idea what I was doing—the menus are all in Japanese, obviously—but after a few rounds, the gameplay clicks. You collect these little heart items to boost your matchmaking powers, and the couples you pair off react differently depending on their personalities. Some are shy, others are drama queens. It’s got that addictive "just one more turn" energy, especially when you’re trying to beat your high score before the timer runs out.

If you’re into obscure retro stuff or just want something lighthearted with a ton of personality, this one’s a hidden gem. Just don’t expect an English patch anytime soon.
