Favorite Games
Jessica enjoys cozy games that can be played in handheld mode on the Switch, especially management games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and Spiritfarer. She also loves Sonic the Hedgehog and games set in Japan, which remind her of her time living there.
Favorite Console
At three years of age, Jessica often played the N64, enjoying games like Majora's Mask, Ocarina of Time, and Golden Eye. Too young to read the text herself, her father would read it for her, until she got sick of always asking and figured it out herself. As her first console, it will always hold a special place for her.
Favorite Anime
Jessica started watching Sailor Moon VHS tapes in English at a young age, and still loves the show to this day. She originally watched the English dub, and now uses the Japanese version to keep her listening skills sharp.
