When Sticky Business launched, one of the things I wanted most was more parts to make stickers either via free updates for DLC. Well, we've seen that! The first one, Plan with Me, felt more practical. After all, it was about planners and scrapbooking sorts of things. Meanwhile, the Camp Zinnias DLC feels a bit more practical and versatile, due to the number of animals, plants, and landscaping additions it brings to Sticky Business.
The premise behind Camp Zinnias is that players are now preparing summer camp stickers for customers. While that means more obvious things like merit badge-inspired iconography, there are also items, animals, plants, natural objects, and other elements that are all tied to those kinds of great outdoors adventures. This also means a whole new sticker category, indicated by a tent. In total, there are 104 sticker parts and 10 new customers who will make certain general requests involving those elements and discuss camp life when they do.
So I'm obsessed with these new parts. The execution means they transcend the whole camping theme. All of the new animals, birds, and fish are creatures that could pair well with any of the existing items in the game. The new outdoors elements and badges also go so well with the things in the base game too. This is truly the type of pack you dream about. It might seem like it'd be too focused or niche. However, once you get into it, you find all of these ways to make the elements work with existing pieces.
This also means the new customer objectives seem really manageable. In some situations, I might have felt forced to clutter up my virtual shop and waste my time on designs I didn't really want to make to advance. Due to the range of elements in this add-on, that never came up. It's a nonissue. Whatever requests people might have feel really easy to work with and make your own.
The Camp Zinnias Sticky Business DLC is really handled so well. Spellgarden Games packed it full of a lot of parts that are so practical and fun. The design and execution makes it easy to find a way to make them work for you. There's a lot to it. Especially considering the low price. If you wanted more natural or animal elements for your design, I think it is worth your time.
Sticky Business and its Camp Zinnias DLC are available on the Nintendo Switch and PC.

Sega has revealed a new version of the figure modeled after Rei Ayanami (tentative name) from the Rebuild of Evangelion movie series. The company will release this figure in Winter 2024 in Japan.
The company originally released the tentative Rei Ayanami figure in February 2022. The new figure set will have the "30th Anniversary Version" moniker to distinguish it from the previous release. The new title will also match the franchise's upcoming anniversary milestone. While the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime started airing in October 1995, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's manga adaptation appeared first in late December 1994.
In the Japanese tweet, Sega mentioned that the new version will have a different base. People can see how the newer version will have a rocky base instead of a plain circle with the following comparison images:
This is not the only Rei Ayanami figure Sega is working on. The company has also revealed another figure featuring the long-haired Rei that will appear under its S-FIRE brand. Pre-orders for the latter figure are still available until October 7, 2024. Sega will release the long-haired Rei Ayanami figure in July 2025.
The Rebuild of Evangelion Rei Ayanami (tentative name) ~30th Anniversary Version~ Luminasta Vignettium figure will be available as crane game prizes in Japan in the 2024 Winter window, which generally runs from December 2024 to February 2025.

It's Monday, which means Bandai Namco shared another character who is part of the Bleach Rebirth of Souls roster. This time, it's another Gotei 13 captain. Gin Ichimaru, who started out as the series as the head of Squad 3 in Bleach and wields the Zanpakuto Shinso, will be a playable fighter.
The gameplay video features Gin fighting against Ichigo Kurosaki. It starts by showing an introduction as he enters the ring, before using the Signature Move Serpent Strike. This allows him to attack from a distance. From there, it moves onto Spiritual Pressure Moves. One is Urozuki, which allows him to counterattack, while Shinso Sousen is an AOE attack that can include a follow-up hit. His Awakening move involves him unleashing the Bankai Kamishini no Yari. This increases his range.
We can watch the Bleach Rebirth of Souls Gin Ichimaru trailer below:
Here is the full Bleach Rebirth of Souls roster of nine characters so far, including Gin Ichimaru. Trailers are available for everyone except for Renji Aburai so far.
Bleach Rebirth of Souls is in development for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The Bleach anime, including Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. Viz Media handles the manga.

World of Warcraft has gone through several iterations at this point, all ranging from Classic, Classic Era, Season of Discovery, and Retail (also known as current patches and whatever expansion it's in at the moment). It's an MMORPG that constantly reinvents itself, while also attempting to keep the core feeling of what it was like playing the game in the early aughts alive. It's an MMORPG that I've fallen in love with for this reason.
Now if you've read the title and you've dropped off the game somewhere between Mists of Pandaria or Cataclysm, you've probably got your mitts on and are ready to have a go at me. But the chances are, that I probably agree with you. (I love all World of Warcraft, but I don't care for Cataclysm, at all.) Because while I am still relatively new to World of Warcraft, the most time I've spent in the game has been on the Classic Era servers and Season of Discovery. And while I do enjoy Retail a lot, I love the roughness of the game as it existed in 2006. So much so that I've even dipped into playing on private servers on occasion just to really experience what the game was like without any user interface or major gameplay adjustments and improvements.
I started playing MMORPGs at the tender age of twelve. Lineage II was the first MMORPG I really sank my teeth into, thanks to some really kind NCSOFT employees at GenCon. I remember fiddling around at one of the stations, just absolutely enamored at the prospect of playing a game online that wasn't a Ragnarok Online private server. Since then, I've been hooked on MMORPGs. I've played AION at launch, I made a QQ account with some help of a friend that had a Chinese ID to play Blade & Soul during it's early years through the QQ (now Tencent) launcher. I'm old, and I love the weirdness of MMORPGs early in their lifespan for how utterly bizarre some gameplay changes can be.
And World of Warcraft Classic (and by extension Season of Discovery) had everything I wanted. I played a Paladin at first, trudging through Hardcore and absolutely getting eviscerated by kobold in the Human starting zone. And then I moved to Hunter in Classic and Season of Discovery and loved the intricacy of it all. This was during a period where I was feeling particularly anti-social, completely burnt out because of several projects I had to juggle, and running around Darkwood with my Black Ravager (a large wolf with protruding tusks that I felt my character would have accompanying him on his lonely journey) was just a lot of fun. I loved having to feed my pet and raise it's affinity. I loved teaching my pet new skills and having to buy arrows for my bow. I loved the intricacy of old World of Warcraft.
Everything in World of Warcraft existed for a reason. It existed with intent. I had to take damage to raise my defense, I had to use a bow to become more proficient and deal more damage. It felt like my character was growing, that he existed and belonged in the world in a way. I was engaging in the game in a way that felt natural, and there isn't really another MMORPG on the market that does this specific thing. It's inconvenient, and at times trying, but it feels good to play.
But sometimes I don't want that challenge. Sometimes I want to use the Dungeon Finder to easily queue up with people to run the latest content and get new gear pieces for my extensive collection of Death Knight transmogs (or glamours, if you're an FFXIV player). Or I just want the general ease of access to reach Dungeons or Raids that I can mow through on my own as I chew through World of Warcraft's extensive backlog of content as a new player. And that's when I jump into Retail.
World of Warcraft Dragonflight and The War Within have added their own significant gameplay changes and updates. Dragonflight added a new flight system, which admittedly is a lot of fun and makes traversal through maps quick, and The War Within expanded on this, and made a new version of a roguelike mode that appeared in Shadowlands more single player friendly. There's also general quality of life updates like Warbands, which unlock transmogs and achievements across all characters, and has saved me from playing through Shadowlands a second time for a specific outfit. It's all about convenience, which is fine. It doesn't detract from Classic, and it allows me to play a more modern version of a game that I really have come to adore with friends that don't want to experience the rough edges of what the game used to be.
Both versions existing simultaneously isn't an issue either. If you want that more involved experience, you can play Classic Era, even if the servers aren't nearly as populated as Retail there is still a decently healthy community there. (Play on RP servers, the people there are generally very friendly, and seeing open world RP is awesome.) And Retail is alive and well, even if players dip in and out at various points.
I'm just saying that it's awesome that World of Warcraft players can have their cake and eat it too. I wish more MMORPGs would do this, or at least let players experience the games as they were throughout their lifetime. But I understand this isn't a possibility. World of Warcraft makes a lot of money, and Blizzard Entertainment is allowed to funnel that profit back into the game. Though I'm grateful that these various game states are allowed to exist. Because if they didn't, I'm not sure if I'd love World of Warcraft as much as I do now.
World of Warcraft is available for PC.

Koei Tecmo announced the worldwide release date for Atelier Yumia, and it also shared a new trailer going over the game's story and systems. This is the first look at the upcoming Atelier series RPG since its debut at the August 2024 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.
Here's the Atelier Yumia trailer, which begins with her talking about her mother and following in her footsteps. In this entry, alchemists are essentially outlaws and the art is forbidden. However, Yumia's mother was one, and it cost her her life in an incident. Still, Yumia is also working to become a skilled alchemist who can help people and investigate what happened to the Aladissian Empire with an Aladiss Research Team. It was a nation in which alchemy played a major part, and as we explore, we find clues as to what happened.
However, while Yumia's arts are frowned upon by most, she is still supported by people. The two introduced in the video are Viktor and Isla von Duerer, who monitor and support her. We get to see the three of them explore the world, fight enemies in battle, and meet other allies. However, while we do get to see a lot of exploration, story, and battle elements in this latest video, we don't see too much alchemy. But in this installment, you can perform fusions at her hub or perform Simple Synthesis in the field for some materials. When she is in her hub, however, she can also construct furniture and decorations for her alchemist base.
The Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land release date is March 21, 2025, and it will appear on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam worldwide.

Capcom has launched a new Street Fighter 6 Fighting Pass ahead of Terry Bogard's inclusion in September 2024, and it features numerous content themed after SNK games. The "Terry Arrives!" pass contains content from the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters games.
Some of the new pass' highlights include sets of avatar gears that will let players have their avatars cosplay as Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi. It will also include the stage themes for Terry, Andy, and Joe from Fatal Fury Special. There is also a new set of stickers that features more Fatal Fury series characters like Jubei Yamada, Duck King, and Kim Kaphwan.
The Fighting Pass will also come with an SNK-themed challenger screen effect and a King of Fighters photo frame. Capcom's 1997 arcade game Battle Circuit—which is also the only content not related to SNK in this pass—completes the premium rewards list.
Capcom has also uploaded a trailer featuring the new Fighting Pass on the official Street Fighter YouTube channel:
Capcom has been launching a new Fighting Pass before it releases an extra character. Terry will not be the only SNK guest character to appear in Street Fighter 6, as Mai Shiranui will also join him in the game's Year 2 content lineup. The new year started with the return of M. Bison—the dictator alternatively known as Vega in Japan—in June 2024. The Street Fighter III debutant Elena will complete the roster for the year.
The "Terry Arrives!" Fighting Pass has appeared in the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and PC fighting game Street Fighter 6. Capcom will formally add Terry Bogard as a new DLC character on September 24, 2024.

Nintendo announced via its official Japanese X account that it has updated its guidelines for sharing content from its games on online platforms.
The guideline is available in multiple languages, including English. The original Japanese version has additional update date notes on the newly revised lines on the page, which has been regularly updated since its debut in late 2018. Nintendo made three new revisions to the guidelines on September 2, 2024.
The first revision added a new line to the official guidelines list. It shows Nintendo's right to object to any infringing content and blacklist the offender from sharing content from Nintendo games in the future. The Japanese page added that the company will even use legal measures to enforce its objections.
In the second revision, the company explained the types of shared content it allows and disallows. While Nintendo forbids republishing official trailers and game assets like music or cutscenes, it also discourages players from uploading simple gameplay recordings without any edits or commentaries. The Japanese page added an exception to content produced directly from the Nintendo Switch's Share button feature, which includes videos that can only run for up to 30 seconds.
The third and last revision in this guideline had Nintendo update the list of content that it will deem unlawful or inappropriate at the bottom of the page. Usages of unauthorized methods like third-party emulator software, cheats, and data mining are part of the list. The company also included malicious acts, such as making offensive remarks or griefing another player by impeding their game progress during a multiplayer session.
The Nintendo Game Content Guidelines for Online Video & Image Sharing Platforms appeared first on November 29, 2018, as it replaced the Nintendo Creators Program. The company newly updated the guidelines on September 2, 2024.

In a series where characters like Yuji Itadori and Satoru Gojo routinely steal the show, Jujutsu Kaisen's Nobara Kugisaki doesn't always get a chance to stand out. Considering the events of the Shibuya Incident Arc and chapters leading up to the series' conclusion in September 2024, I was honestly pissed! I love who she is and her signature Straw Doll Technique. It seemed like Gege Akutami was about to do her wrong. Fortunately, chapter 267 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga pulled Nobara Kugisaki into the spotlight.
Editor's Note: There will be spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen up through chapter 268.
Nobara always had drive and ambition in Jujutsu Kaisen. From the very beginning, we see her determination. She got out of her small town and reached Tokyo, determined to reunite with her friend Saori and get out of that village. She pushes herself and shows she's as strong as Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji. Perhaps even at times she's even more unwavering. After all, she used her Straw Doll technique nails on herself to help defeat Eso and Kechizu during the Death Painting Arc and how she went after Mahito during the Shibuya Incident Arc.
It was at that point that I felt like Akutami decided to make an example of Nobara. After all, it's going after Mahito that resulted in what seemed to be her demise. In chapters 124, 125, and 126, we see the results of her ignoring Kento Nanami's directive to stay and wait to be rescued. She's determined to do as much as people like Yuji are, and chases down one of Mahito's doubles. For a while, it works! She reunites with Yuji, and their combined forces make it seem like they have a chance. Mahito touches her, unleashing Idle Transfiguration. We see her lose an eye, potentially more, in the process, and then she just… disappears.
I don't mean literally. Figuratively. Akutami just… doesn't talk about her again. It felt wrong. I hated it. Nobara was an important part of the Tokyo Jujutsu High "team." Her Straw Doll Technique was an incredible idea, given how she could use damage done to the doll with nails and her hammer. There were so many more great applications of that and her Hairpin technique that we could have seen used in unusual ways during fights. Especially since her fearless nature and passion meant she would consider doing damage to herself if it meant succeeding against her enemy. Moreover, the fact that it happened and she was just gone, never brought up again, didn't seem right. We didn't have that proper closure.
So chapter 267 of Jujutsu Kaisen was an absolute delight. Seeing Nobara alive was an absolute joy. Especially considering we had no idea what happened and Yuji and Megumi are already in dire straights due to Ryomen Sukuna. But then seeing Yuji is missing two fingers instead of one, and that everyone all along had been counting on Nobara to wake up and use her Straw Doll Technique to again be part of the solution to cut Sukuna down, was priceless. Watching her Resonance hit him was so satisfying. "You better be happy, boys!" Akutami, you have no idea.
Of course, this is Jujutsu Kaisen, and Akutami is still putting us through the ringer as it draws to a close. So things naturally get harrowing in chapter 268. We get to see the three first-years reunite! Megumi is fighting back against Sukuna's possession and influence. Yuji is there. Nobara is assisting in the fight. However, we also see Sukuna hit back, with Nobara once again falling victim of a harrowing Jujutsu Kaisen foe. The nail she used on Yuji's finger backfires and go straight into her own forehead, exposing the Mahito wound in the process. It's a shocking, stark parallel to watch happened to her before. However, we see her rebound and, alongside Yuji and Megumi, succeed. I found it an amazing parallel to the events of 126. It's clearly similarly life threatening! However, this time her own power and awareness, as well as that of others, meant things went right when it mattered most.
What will eventually happen to Nobara Kugisaki, as well as Yuji, Megumi, and the rest of the cast of Jujutsu Kaisen, remains to be seen. After all, we have until the end of September 2024 until the manga ends. But at least we have this major moment for her in chapter 267! There was this point of redemption for her, and perhaps for Gege Akutami as well. Rather than being someone forgotten while her classmates got to go on to greater strengths and notoriety, we got to be reminded of how critical and amazing she was yet again.
Viz Media handles the Jujutsu Kaisen manga outside Japan. You can also read it on MangaPlus. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll.
