https://y-n10.com/ The website of the Nintendo founder's family office. It..is just beautifully designed, and a homage to the original game consoles and the entire art form of PC gaming when it started. Earlier thread on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26803201

Wow! I've been using the internet since the 90s and I have never had my hair blown back by a webpage before. The isometric view certainly hits the nostalgia button.

Edit (from the site): "Japan was once globally renowned for its people's quality of unique creativity teamed with a pioneering mindset. Their innovation and inventions changed the world. But that golden era has long been gone. It seems that the quality Japanese people once possessed is overshadowed by worry and fear."

It's really interesting to hear that coming from the family office of one the largest companies in Japan. I can't imagine an American leader making a public statement like that (about the USA), probably because US companies prey on fear and FOMO.

I love https://www.luigicases.com - it's the web site for an Italian gentleman who makes leather cases and straps for Leica cameras. But the web design is straight out of the 90's, along with loads of extraneous text and even some family photos. And you can't actually buy anything via the website - you send the guy an email and a corresponding Paypal payment ( https://www.luigicases.com/a000-PURCHASE-info.htm ). Basi…

I think we might be hugging it to death. Oops.
