Welcome to the Rkaydz Collection!

Today, we ceremonially induct Onimusha: Warlords — the legendary PlayStation 2 title that merged Capcom’s mastery of horror with the mythic drama of samurai cinema. Released in March 2001, this game redefined the action-adventure genre with its blend of supernatural battles, Sengoku intrigue, and the unforgettable Samanosuke Akechi.

Developed by the minds behind Resident Evil, Onimusha brought us demonic warlords, cinematic swordplay, and an innovative critical hit system that rewarded precise combat timing. Over two million copies sold, countless lives sliced, and one resurrected Nobunaga later... this is a relic that demands reverence.

The disc and manual inducted today are pristine — a white-glove masterpiece of early 2000s design. Season One concludes with this powerful addition to the archive.

Today, we induct not one — but two legendary peripherals from the world of Mario Kart: the Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Mini and the Pro Deluxe edition. Released alongside Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in 2017, these wheels brought arcade-style racing into homes with playful design and surprising precision.

From the lightweight, lap-friendly Mini to the full-scale Deluxe with pedals and suction mounts, Hori delivered immersive options for all types of players. Together, they represent a moment where Nintendo fun met engineering flair — bridging the gap between couch gaming and serious competition.
