About us

Nice to meet you! I'm Robin - The Retro Shelf was founded in 2025 as a passion project. I have been collecting Japanese Watches, Knifes & Video games for a long time and have been looking myself for a nice way to display these items.

When I started to sell some of my games, I noticed that fellow collectors were interested in not only purchasing the game, but getting the display's too. 

Considering the prices of some english games, I have always found the Japanese games a way better collectable as gift or to display on the shelf myself - and I hope to offer this to you too!

I source all the games from Japan myself and work with collectors and game stores in Tokyo and Osaka.

All our games are 100% original, working & tested games.
