I'm immersing myself in the lore since Sisters vs. Sisters is coming to the Xbox. This poo poo is byzantine even by anime bullshit standards. Half the characters are Japanese puns of companies I've never heard of. Any good primers for this stuff?

Oh wow, cool. Good job.
So?

Half of the game dialog is also industry references.

What kind of story they will make with the Xbox/Activision merger is what got me interested in this series.

You'll probably want to at least be familiar with the mainline games: mk2/Rebirth 2, Victory/Rebirth 3, and VII/VIIR (aka Victory 2.) Those are the "numbered" games in the series that maintain continuity.

The Neptunia anime is a mash up of mk2 and Victory. Afterwards there were three OVAs released starting in 2020 but they're just commercials for a related figure (Purple Heart in a revealing outfit, a grown up Human version of Neptune in a revealing outfit, Neptune in a wedding dress.) Only at the end of the latest one do they hint at the Victory 2 story possibly coming.

Rebirth 1/ReVerse (PS5) is a re-imagining of the original PS3 game where the side characters from Victory come to visit after figuring out dimensional travel in the then previous game. That sort of got a sequel in the spinoff game Super Neptunia RPG but the Canadian development team didn't notice the connections and Rebirth 1 Plus flopped in Japan.

That's on top of the first game right?

The first game from PS3 is kinda retconned out of existence. The true ending didn't really leave room for a sequel so they rebooted the universe from the goddesses representing companies to representing the consoles themselves. Then the PS4, Xbone, and Wii U released requiring them to make up some story about the cast powering up instead of dying like all their predecessors did.

Wii U as an upgrade?

Nepgames treat canon like a vague suggestion. There are goddesses. They are powered by people buying merch. That's about all you need to know.
