Gawr Gura Pop Up Parade Figure

Good Smile Company is preparing another Gawr Gura figure. This one is a part of its budget Pop Up Parade line. Like the Nendoroid, it will be based on her original outfit. It will show up in Japan first in June 2023 for ¥5,500. The North American release will follow in August 2023. When it launches outside Japan, it will cost $39.99.

This Gawr Gura Pop Up Parade figure has been a long time coming. Good Smile Company first announced all five members of Hololive Myth would join the collection in July 2021 at Anime Expo Lite. At the time, only their official art was used and concept art for each figure wasn't available.

Here's a closer look at the final design. She isn't wielding her trident for this pose. Also, unlike her Nendoroid, she is alone. Bloop doesn't accompany her. The final figure will stand at 150mm/5.9 inches tall.
[gallery size="full" ids="946633,946634,946635" link="file"]
There's no word yet on when the other Hololive Myth Pop Up Parade figures will appear. However, there is a special website for the group. It features a silhouette for each Vtuber that suggests what the final poses will look like. It also notes the rest will be "coming soon."

The Gawr Gura Pop Up Parade figure will launch in June 2023 in Japan and August 2023 in North America. Pre-orders are open until February 9, 2023.

pokemon 1008 encounters

On January 12, 2023, the official Pokemon YouTube channel will premiere a commemorative video called Pokemon 1008 Encounters. This is to celebrate how, as of Generation 9, there are over 1000 species in the Pokemon franchise. The video will look back on how we met all 1008 species over the course of almost 30 years. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

Pokemon 1008 Encounters will premiere at 11pm JST, which will be 6am PT/9am ET on January 12, 2023. It is unknown how long the video will be. We also do not know how The Pokemon Company plans on dividing up the attention. All of the Pokemon species could get equal focus. However, it is just as likely that it will prioritize popular species.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYJwN4cvde0

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the current generation of the Pokemon series, came out worldwide on November 18, 2022. The game introduced 103 new Pokemon species, such as like Tandemaus and Tinkaton. Nintendo has not yet officially announced any upcoming new content for Generation 9. However, as Sword and Shield had two major post-game updates, there may be something on the horizon for Paldea.

The Pokemon 1008 Encounters video will debut on January 12, 2023. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are readily available on the Nintendo Switch.

Disgaea 7 Piririka

The next installment in Nippon Ichi's running series of Disgaea 7 character trailers focuses on Piririka, the game's other protagonist. Her demon companion Fuji was introduced on Tuesday. In Disgaea 7 Piririka is voiced by Hiyori Nitta. Nitta also played Karin Doumyouji in Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls, Gabriel in The Seven Heavenly Virtues, and Rino in Jinsei - Life Consulting.

Check out her trailer below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVKHjU-hc9s

On the official website for Disgaea 7 Piririka is described as "spontaneous", and a rich young lady raised in the Wahei Netherworld, far away from the Hinomoto Netherworld where the game takes place. Her distance from Hinomoto has led her to admire a false, pop culture-driven image of what "Bushido" actually is. This misconception leads to some severe culture shock when she visits Hinomoto for the first time and reality collides with what she's got in her head. In her interactions with Fuji she's shown getting excited over "famous Hinomoto customs" such as the dogeza (kneeling with head touching the floor in prostration). She also butchers Japanese idioms, only to be corrected by Fuji.

Nevertheless, through Disgaea 7 Piririka shows herself to be a "super-good-natured" sort of person. She's naïve, trusting, and gullible, but also strong of heart and adamant in the belief that every "bad guy" had a reason to become that way. In battle one of her moves involves summoning a Prinny and enlarging it so it becomes giant-size as it belly-flops onto the enemy. Piririka then takes a selfie with the aftermath.

Disgaea 7 releases on the PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch in Japan on January 26, 2023. Localization plans have not yet been announced.

shin kamen rider game

Bandai Namco Games will publish a Shin Kamen Rider game for the Nintendo Switch and Windows PC. The title is SD Shin Kamen Rider Ranbu. It will come out on March 23, 2023. While we know that Bandai Namco will be the publisher, we do not yet know the developer for the game. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

Since this news comes from a third-party source, Bandai Namco will likely make an official announcement detailing the game-play and developer in the near future. As an SD-style game, the characters will have chibified models. SD Shin Kamen Rider Ranbu will be beat 'em up where you fight against the SHOCKER troops. There will be a wide variety of moves that you will be able to pull off. You can also power up your Rider through food and coins you gain through battle, as well as through changing up what badge they have on.

Because the game is a tie-in to the Shin Kamen Rider movie, it will have some spoilers for it. The movie, which as Hideaki Anno of Neon Genesis Evangelion fame as the director and writer, will come out in Japan in March 2023. Though the exact release date of the movie is still unclear, the two will not come out on the same date.

SD Kamen Rider Ranbu will come out for the Nintendo Switch and Windows PC in Japan on March 23, 2023.

Blue Protocol network beta test delayed

Bandai Namco announced that the network beta test for Blue Protocol has been delayed. The development team is having difficulties in fixing a new bug recently discovered within the current build. Bandai Namco will release more information on the state of the network test on January 25, 2023. [Thanks, Dengeki!]

Blue Protocol is an online action-RPG currently in development by Bandai Namco Studios and Bandai Namco Online, and network beta test was originally scheduled for January 14, 2023 exclusively in Japan. However, due to difficulties in fixing a new bug interfering with the network test, and the proximity to the initial dates, it will not run as planned.

Bandai Namco has promised more information on the state of the network test will come on January 25, 2023. The company announced this information through their official Japanese website and Twitter account, where it mentioned that the invitation period for friends will be extended, due to the sudden change in plans.

https://twitter.com/BLUEPROTOCOL_JP/status/1613039330326614017

Blue Protocol is being developed by Bandai Namco, and will come to Japan for PC on Spring 2023. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions will come at a later date. The game will appear in North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Western Europe in the second half of 2023. A Blue Protocol closed beta for people outside Japan will appear in 2023.

NieR Reincarnation updates

The latest issue of the magazine Famitsu includes information on the upcoming update for NieR Reincarnation. The new chapter of the game is coming in January 2023. The second anniversary event is scheduled for February 18, 2023. Famitsu talked with Director Daichi Matsukawa about this new content and what's happening to the story afterwards. [Thanks, Ryokutya2089!]

Matsukawa said that the new chapter coming out in January 2023 will be the last chapter for "The Sun and the Moon" story arc. He also talked about new content coming for the second anniversary of the game and briefly mentioned the new direction the story is going to take. Here is a direct quote from Matsukawa:

After the second anniversary, the story will undergo major changes and enter a new phase.

"The Sun and the Moon" is the second and current story arc of the game, and it focuses on high school students Hina Akagi and Yuzuki Kurezome exploring The Cage. The new chapter will be the sixth and last of this arc. In comparison, the first act "The Girl and the Monster" had 12 chapters. In November 2022, Square Enix announced a crossover event between NieR Reincarnation and SINoALICE. The event released on November 10, 2022.

NieR Reincarnation is immediately available for Android and iOS devices, and new updates are on the way.

Pokemon GO February 2023 Community Day Pokemon is Noibat

It will be much easier to get a Noibat and Noivern in Pokemon GO, as it will be the featured February 2023 Community Day character. On February 5, 2023 between 2pm and 5pm local time, people will see normal and shiny versions of the character in the wild and in four-star raids. There will also be a $1 Abundant Noise Special Research available.

The Noibats will be in the wild between 2pm and 5pm, as usual, but they'll only be in raids between 5pm and 10pm. To evolve a Noibat into Noivern in Pokemon GO, they will need 400 candies. If this happens on February 5, 2023, that Noivern will know the normal-type move Boomburst. Getting candy for that evolution will take fewer catches during the event, as there will be a 2x candy bonus active. If someone is over trainer level 31, they will also be be twice as likely to get Candy XL.

However, it should be slightly easier to find Noibat in Pokemon GO in January 2023 as well. The Twinkling Fantasy event is on now and features it. It is one of the characters you'll see more often in the wild until January 16, 2023. It is also is always available in 10km eggs.

Pokemon GO is available on Android and Apple iOS devices, and the next community day is February 5, 2023.

     Genshin Impact Arataki Itto Guide Best Weapons Best Artifacts Talents Build Redhorn Stonethresher WhiteblindThe ridiculous himbo Arataki Itto is undoubtedly one of Genshin Impact's biggest superstars, and he has one of the silliest hobbies in the game. A child at heart, Arataki Itto dons the mighty Onikabuto beetle and heads into battle, pitting these creepy crawlies against each other. These beetle battles were just a thing of legends before, but now, we'll finally be able to participate in the beetle-battling ourselves. And you'd best believe Arataki Itto will be making an appearance in Genshin Impact's "Almighty Arataki Extraordinary and Exhilarating Extreme Beetle Brawl" event. Arataki Itto is always a handful (and a mouthful), but this beetle fighting game will allow us to use an Onikabuto and fight to the buggy death. The mode looks similar to a fighting game, but it's almost certainly not as in-depth as the genre typically demands (unless you count Divekick.) It's a simple mode that features a lunge attack which you use to deplete the en...
