Mario Kart 7 may be only one numerical entry behind the most recent game in the series, but that doesn't mean it isn't old as shit. In fact, it was first released on the Nintendo 3DS eleven years ago, in December 2011.

irys covid-19

Vtuber IRyS of hololive English has tested positive for COVID-19 and will take a few days to recover. According to the official hololive Twitter account, her symptoms are not severe. It did not state when exactly IRyS will return to streaming.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, there have been multiple instances of streamers and celebrities who needed to take a break because they caught it. Just earlier this year, Amane Kanata (who is also from hololive) had to stop streaming for a bit in order to recuperate. Nijisanji canceled its Fantasia live event in January 2022 because some of the cast members tested positive.

IRyS debuted as a hololive VTuber in July 2021. Though she is a virtual singer, she has also streamed herself playing games and such. IRyS is a member of hololive English, but can speak Japanese and uses it in her songs and on streams. Unlike Myth and Council, which are generations that featured multiple VTubers, IRyS was a solo debut. The title of her "generation" is Project: Hope. As of the time of writing, she has 903k subscribers on her YouTube channel.

Once IRyS recovers from COVID-19 symptoms, she will return to streaming, and the official hololive Twitter account will announce it when she does.

p3p p4g prices

The Japanese Persona Twitter account listed price points and release dates for the upcoming Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden ports. Both games will cost 1980 JPY ($14.40). We knew that they would appear on the Xbox consoles, and Atlus again confirmed that they will also be available on Xbox Game Pass.

You can watch the announcement trailer for the P3P and P4G release dates and price points here:

https://twitter.com/p_kouhou/status/1602830739246137346

In the trailer, we get a look at the stories and systems of both games. Morgana, who was in Persona 5 and has since become a sort of mascot for the Persona series, narrates the video. Both games feature the characters in an after-school club (in a sense), where they fight against Shadows using their Persona powers.

Persona 3 Portable features the characters (SEES) wandering around Tartarus, which forms during the mysterious Dark Hour. Their goal is to explore Tartarus, as well as figure out what the Dark Hour is. P3P was the PSP port of the game and allowed you to play as a girl protagonist. However, it did not have the Answer arc, which followed Aigis and the SEES after the events of the main game.

Persona 4 Golden is a murder mystery. The informal Investigation Team found a strange TV world full of Shadows, and realized that someone is shoving people into the TVs to kill them. Like the above P3P, P4G was the enhanced version of the game. It added new characters (and social links), as well as some new endings.

Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden will come out for the Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC on January 19, 2023. They will also appear on the Nintendo Switch and PS4. The Western prices for P3P and P4G are not available yet.
