Kirby Is at Kura Sushi, Pokemon Are at Kung Fu Tea

Two Nintendo properties are at two different restaurants in the US right now. If someone heads to Kung Fu Tea, they can get drinks and a straw cap based on Pokemon: Legends Z-A through January 31, 2026, while supplies last. Should people head to a Kura Sushi location until January 31, 2026, again while supplies last, they could get Kirby and Waddle Dee-themed sushi and merchandise. 

In the case of Kung Fu Tea, there are three kinds of drinks, cups based on Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile. It is also possible to get a straw cap that looks like Pikachu with your purchase. Each drink is inspired by locations and elements of the game, as well as characters So the Mega Evolution Matcha with brown sugar boba comes in a Chikorita cup, the Prism Tower Punch with aloe jelly, curacao, and lemonade is tied to Totodile, and the Z-A Royale Milk Tea features coconut, passionfruit, green tea, and honey boba. It is possible to order all of them from locations via the website.

Here's the official art for that promotion:

With Kura Sushi, there are both Kirby and Waddle Dee types of sushi, giveaways for a cup set and blanket, and Bikkura Pon Prizes given away randomly for every 15 plates of sushi. Both the Kirby and Waddle Dee options have tamagoyaki (egg) as their base and seem to feature avocado, with one being the Kirby Dreamy Crunchy Roll and the other the Waddle Dee Feisty Feast Roll. You get the cups if you have the Kura Sushi Rewards app, a QR code, and a receipt showing you spent $85 to get the cups now. The blanket is the $85 reward available after January 14, 2026.

Here's how those items look:

In 2025, Monster Hunter Wilds also appeared at Kung Fu Tea and One Piece was featured at Kura Sushi.

Pokemon is at Kung Fu Tea and Kirby is at Kura Sushi in the US until January 31, 2026, though some items may only be available while supplies last. Kirby Air Riders is on the Switch 2, and Pokemon Legends: Z-A is on the Switch and Switch 2.

New Cardcaptor Sakura Sanrio Plush Include Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin Taito announced even more Cardcaptor Sakura x Sanrio Characters are on the way, with the latest four being a batch of plush keychains. These designs will head to Japanese arcades in the middle of December 2025. There's no word on whether we'll see them worldwide eventually or not. The four options in this collection involve two versions of heroine Sakura Kinomoto, Cinnamoroll, and Pompompurin. One version of Sakura features her with Cinnamoroll's ears in her school uniform. The matching Cinnamoroll one has him in the same outfit. In the case of the Sakura and Pompompurin pair, both of them are wearing the costume from the second season anime opening

Taito announced even more Cardcaptor Sakura x Sanrio Characters are on the way, with the latest four being a batch of plush keychains that include Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. These designs will head to Japanese arcades in the middle of December 2025. There's no word on whether we'll see them worldwide eventually or not, but items like acrylic standees based on the crossover did show up everywhere.

The four options in this collection involve two versions of heroine Sakura Kinomoto, Cinnamoroll, and Pompompurin. One version of Sakura features her with Cinnamoroll's ears in her school uniform. The matching Cinnamoroll one has him in the same outfit. In the case of the Sakura and Pompompurin pair, both of them are wearing the costume from the second season anime opening "Open the Door." Each one has a ball-chain keychain at the top and is almost five inches tall (12cm).

Here's how those look:

It has been a few weeks since we'd seen any new plush from this Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio crossover. Ones of Sakura Kinomoto and Hello Kitty in Clear Card second anime opening outfits appeared in Japan in October 2025. However, there were some keychain pouches with the heroine alongside Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin that showed up in November 2025. 

The Cardcaptor Sakura x Sanrio Characters plush featuring Sakura Kinomoto, Cinnamoroll, and Pompompurin will launch in mid-December 2025 in Japan. The anime can be found on Crunchyroll, and Kodansha handles the manga.

Destiny 2 Tharsis Bazaar

Destiny 2: Renegades brilliantly mixes the Bungie franchise with Star Wars inspirations galore, including a new currency.

Credits are a new currency in Renegades that you will accrue throughout the game's campaign and beyond. It's necessary for certain upgrades and also is the main way to purchase items in the DLC's new location.

Here's everything we know so far about Credits in Destiny 2: Renegades, how to get them, and what you can spend them on.

What are Credits in Destiny 2?

Credits are a new currency added in Destiny 2: Renegades that are the main currency of Tharsis Junction, the new location that's inspired by Mos Eisley in Star Wars. Since this is basically the wild west in space, your Glimmer is no good here. You need Credits, similar to the Galactic Standard Credit from the Lucasfilm movies.

How to get Credits in Destiny 2: Renegades

Credits are rewarded via the Lawless Frontier activity. At the end of each mission, you are rewarded Credits depending on what kind of caches you were able to procure throughout the mission by successfully completing it.

You can get 1,000 Credits or more per completion of Lawless Frontier missions, several of which are a part of the main campaign in Renegades.

What to buy with Credits in Destiny 2: Renegades

Screenshot by Destructoid

Credits can be used to purchase everything from Renegade Ability upgrades to armor sets to weapons, all found within Tharsis Junction. The Tharsis Bazaar area, for example, has these armor stands that open up and allow you to purchase individual armor pieces.

In previous Destiny 2 seasons and expansions, buying equipment was relegated to one vendor or main area. In Renegades, they can be found all around Tharsis Junction, such as weapons which can be purchased by the Tharsis Reformation Syndicate, which are a Vex Syndicate found inside of the main cantina area.

Destiny 2 Renegades armors

Destiny 2 has added yet another new currency to keep track of, and who can blame you if you find it confusing?

The Chronolog redeemable currency is found within the Season 28: Lawless rewards pass track, and you can use it to get some pretty cool stuff that you may have missed out on in the past. This may be useless to the most dedicated Destiny 2 gamers, but there's likely something for most players to pick up using Chronologs.

Here's everything there is to know about Chronologs and how to use them in Destiny 2.

What is a Chronolog in Destiny 2?

Screenshot by Destructoid

Chronolog is a new redeemable currency in Destiny 2: Renegades (it was added during the Ash & Iron update earlier in 2025) that allow you to unlock previous season pass items that you may have missed out on in the past. They are found as rewards within the reward pass in Season 28: Lawless, and other new seasons moving forward.

The rewards are in both the free and premium track of the reward pass, and they are found in bundles of 100. This new currency basically functions as a catch-up mechanic for players to collect rewards they may have missed out on if they played and did not max out a previous rewards pass.

How to use Chronolog in Destiny 2: Renegades

Screenshot by Destructoid

To use Chronologs, visit the Seasonal Archive: Monument to Seasons Past in the Tower, shown in the image above. Interact with it and you can see the Reward Passes from previous seasons in Destiny 2. Inspecting an individual season will allow you to exchange Chronologs for the rewards.

The image below depicts what the Reclamation season reward pass looks like:

Each item has a different price of Chronologs. For example, this Last Discipline ornament set costs 40 Chronolog (because I had some of the items in it already), while some rewards cost 100, 200, or more.
