Heisei Sunset

30th of April, 2019, will be remembered as the last day of the Heisei Era, as Japan ushers in the Reiwa Era on the 1st of May, 2019.

While the Heisei Era has its ups and downs, video game communities should remember that the Console Wars between Nintendo and Sega began in the Heisei Period, and for a while after Atari exited hardware production, the Console Wars was an all Japanese affair. Many of the best Japanese video game systems such as the Game Boy, the PlayStation and the Wii were launched during the Heisei Era. The Heisei Era was also known for manga and anime hitting the international stage big time, and most of the best anime came from that era.

I do hope that the Reiwa Era will be the era where Japan will be more open to receive the Word of God.
