Maybe it'll be like Super Neptunia RPG and not sell that well. Then you'll be able to look up gameplay and review videos before pulling the trigger.

Super Neptunia RPG is actually offensive on the Switch. The title screen has framerate issues!

Neptunia OVA 3: Little Purple, is now out on streaming services. You can also find it fully uploaded on YouTube for the time being.

CFW Trick got some sort of youth beam and hits the 4 goddesses and Arfoire. Neptune and Pure Arfoire live together on a farm while the other 3 end up at the Planeptune Basilicom. It ends with an Uzume cameo teasing more episodes to come.

Neptunia Sisters vs Sisters will be arriving in Asia (Chinese/Korean) October 27th. Based on this, the English release will probably be early 2023.

TL/DR you have two months to purchase the Neptunia anime officially subbed. HiLight is the 2013 anime re-cut into two continuous stories. The full anime had a Blu-ray reprint in 2019 and can still be found for under $20 https://www.amazon.com/Hyperdimension-Neptunia-Complete-Melissa-Fahn/dp/B07TKNFKNL/

Sisters vs Sisters so far seems like a love letter to mk2 and that's my favourite one. So I'm treating this as a reliving of 2015 which is when I bought mk2 on PS3.

Most of the premise of the game so far (first 2 chapters I saw) seems to be notCovid affecting Gamindustri. Nepgear and the others get knocked out/shoved in capsules for 2 years and come back to a society where no one's on the streets, everyone is holed up at home/in shelters, addicted to cellphones (the rPhone/magiPhone), social media and notYoutube personalities due to "Trendi Outbreaks", where random droves of monsters spawn everywhere. All of this is of course worded to sound exactly like people during the pandemic quarantine. Also jokes about them becoming weird due to not going out too often. For example, when you're reintroduced to Vert she's hopelessly addicted to giving Superchats to get some random faceless influencer's attention.

This was like a warm comfort blanket but I'm kind of dissapointed by the lack of transformation sequences. Also I'm a little bit skeptical about the transition to action RPG which they've done before in cyberdimension and other games. It seems a little janky. At first when three characters were in a dungeon and they started walking off I thought it was going to be like halflife.

So I'm conflicted.

e:

It kind of looks good actually. I liked the part where rom and ram both brought biscuits.

Yeah all the animations are pretty short due to the action nature of the game. And as always the jank is real, and the game'll vary from sleepwalking to getting 2 shotted from one boss to another at times.
F2P in particular seems to either have busted (low) health and nearly no aggro. Also I have no clue why they limited Shanghai Alice and Higurashi to NG+ only with no explanation at all.

The metric truckloads of cutscenes and dialogue are pretty fun at least.

EDIT: This game has some of the most absurd usage of time travel I've seen of late.

The game does look surprisingly good. Plus I can't believe they made a giant downtown Planeptune and Planeptower for you to just run around in. I can't advance the plot, I'm too busy running around like, 'Holy poo poo! THE crosswalk Neptune was in front of in that one cutscene background?' :woop:

One time I bought a DLC Nisa for Disgaea 4 and then found you can only use her after the first playthrough. I never finished Disgaea 4 so I've simply never used that DLC character.

If your game uses (mechanical spoilers for the finale) its main theme for the true final boss fight that's an automatic +1 from me. Hell, they even remixed it in for the regular final fight theme. Glad they remembered that lesson from Nep VII. It's not the most amazing theme or final fight but man do I love moments like those.

They just need to scale everything down some 15, 20% and make the other 3 cities and it'll be great. The new stuff definitely looks way better than the reused graphics for sure.

Yeah I understand the feeling, but those characters were in half the trailers too, as opposed to DLC so that's even weirder here.

Woah, I just got the line about penniless refugees without anything but the shirt on their back and how we have to help them.

That's a very topical point to make in a Nep game. But then again Victory 1 has lines about suicide in Chinese factories.

Sisters Vs Sisters just got patched to remove/replace a buncha dialogue? From the looks of it the ESRB got pissed at them so they're patching out every swear, and every instance of the words "piss" and "bastard". Which somehow includes censoring "Bastard Sword", even though I'm sure I've seen that in E10+ rated RPGs.
Was someone asleep at the wheel at the ESRB or something? Why do this 2.5 months after release?
