/vr/ - Retro Games

OP I would not personally recommend playing kana only games. Retro games in general you might sometimes have issues with anything pre-ps1 because they're either kana only which is confusing in my opinion or they might be harder to read the kanji.

If you want some practice I recommend first and foremost Tales of games. They're generally not that hard aside from some occasional magic mumbo jumbo dump and they reuse a LOT of fantasy vocabulary so after you mine and beat one you'll have an easier time with the rest of them and JRPGs in general. Also, try newer Pokemon games that let you play with Kanji, not sure which ones did that.

same, though originally it was one of the reasons I started learning Japanese.

I know this isn't what you're asking, but Tales Of games in general are fantastic for people learning Japanese and want to get into fantasy games.

Though I don't advice jumping into games until you have an alright grammar base and a few months of learning.

Issue with older Pokemon games is that they're kana only which isn't actually that good for people learning the language I think. At least for me playing without Kanji made things harder to read and understand.

Games with Kanji and furigana like (>>8385468) mentioned are easily the best choice. After that you can use Google Translate or some text extractor to mine vocab from games.
