    Special note: if you are an indie dev with a retro-styled game (low poly, pixel art, uh... dithered? I guess?) and you want to show off your game or talk about it or demo it or whatever, you should 1000% show it off at Retro Matsuri.

    Are you looking for an experience that's sort of like Bluesky but in real life? Hosting a panel at a fan convention is kind of like that, probably.

What came out in 2005?

Retro Matsuri is all about the stylings of classic anime and games. Usually, vintage means anything at least 20 years old. So let's take a look at 2005, the most recent year something might qualify as vintage.

Register for Retro Matsuri

Pre-register by May 1, 2025 for the best price - just $30 for both days. That's $15 per day. That's, uh, actually still a better price than most cons in 2005, I think.

What does "retro" mean?

Retro is a term that refers to things that display characteristics of the past. This might mean something genuinely old, like Space Invaders, or something that has a deliberately 'vintage' style, like Pizza Tower.

Retro Matsuri celebrates the anime and video games of the 1970s until 20 years ago (that's 2005 for this year), as well as modern games and anime that have a retro touch.
