Question from Japan: Is Beyblade really trending in Taiwan right now? What other Japanese anime/toy cultures are huge there?

Hi everyone! I'm a mini-culture enthusiast from Japan.
I recently heard a rumor that Beyblade (especially the newer series like Beyblade X) is incredibly popular and trending hard in Taiwan right now. I'm really curious if this is true! Are people actually holding big tournaments or gathering in stores to battle?
Also, as someone from Japan, I'd love to know what other Japanese anime, manga, or toy cultures are currently a massive hit in Taiwan.
Are there any specific trading card games (like Pokémon, One Piece, Union Arena) that everyone is playing?
Which current anime series are dominating Taiwanese pop culture right now?
Are capsule toys (Gachapon) or specific figure brands seeing a huge boom?
I’d love to hear the real, everyday perspective from locals or anyone familiar with the Taiwanese scene. Thanks!

Greetings from Japan! I'm curious: What retro games are currently trending or highly recommended in your country?

Hi everyone! I'm a gamer living in Japan.
Here, certain retro games and retro shops get a lot of attention, but I’ve always been fascinated by the Western retro scene. I really want to know what the current vibe is on your side of the world!

What specific consoles or eras (like SNES, PS2, GameCube, etc.) are making a comeback right now?

Which individual titles are being praised as "genuinely holding up" (still fun to play today without just relying on nostalgia)?

Are there any Western-exclusive games or hidden gems that you think a Japanese gamer must try?

I’d love to hear your raw thoughts and recommendations. Thanks in advance!
