The article reminds us of the upcoming Witch and the Hundred Knights and the Disgaea 4 team's game, labeled as "20th Anniversary Project #1". Apparently, there will be a "20th Anniversary Project #2" coming to the Vita as well, though details on that are unknown.

Meanwhile, for you Neptunia fans, Neptunia V is slated for August in Japan. While it does star Neptune again, she will apparently be thrown to another dimension/back in time to essentially the 3rd generation console war, where the currently confirmed reigning goddesses are Blanc (Sporting a white and red Shrine Maiden-esque outfit) and another CPU in charge of Planeptune. While Noire and Vert are also confirmed to make a return, though both aren't goddesses.

Neptune and Blanc have been noticing there are some really shady guys in black suits walking around lately and Histoire has been acting rather suspiciously. Nippon Ichi's justice senses has picked up on this as well and thus drags the two to uncover this mystery and fight some evil.

-------
Speaking of Neptunia, the game has been out for almost a month now and some DLC has been released including playable Nisa and Gust. Is anyone enjoying the game?

Chapter 3 was actually released a month ago but I forgot all about it. Chapter 3 is a New Years chapter.

In chapter 4, Neptune gets sick so IF, Compa, and Gust try to find a cure.

As with the previous chapters, there's a lot of fan service.

The girls want to prepare a Christmas feast so Neptune, Noire, and Blanc go hunting Monster Hunter-style. NSFW toward the end.

It doesn't exactly look like it's adapting the game (Though I've only seen a couple of cutscenes and haven't played the game). Compa and If don't show up either.

Man, Noire is really really tsundere.

The official U.S. title, according to the latest Prinny Bomb, is Hyperdimension Neptunia. The main character is still named Neptune btw.

EDIT: Just found exhibition videos for Nippon Ichi and Gust.

Nippon Ichi
Gust

Here are the PB Portable cameos:

Hero Prinny
Asagi
Castille
Zetta (Marona actually dodges this time)
Unlosing Ranger

Instead of getting the voice actors back, they just pasted various voice clips from each of the characters into the cutscene. Well, it beats completely silent cutscenes, that's for sure.

Has anyone heard about this game? Its another game done by the combined efforts of Sega, Compile Heart, NIS, Gust, and Idea Factory and looks like a successor to Trinity Universe. Apparently, the premise of the game is console wars in which 3 goddesses Blanc/White Heart (Wii), Vert/Green Heart (360), and Noire/Black Heart (PS3) are in a joint effort to defeat Neptune/Purple Heart (Sega). Purple Heart gets her butt kicked and ends up reverting to her apparent non-goddess form, Neptune. Each of the other goddesses also have other forms. Neptune then gets ordered by some greater goddess to stop monsters from roaming the gaming world (a nod to stop piracy). During her adventures she meets other characters named, I.F-chan, Nippon Ichi-chan(voiced by Kaori Mizuhashi), Gust-chan, and Compa-chan whom all are nods to the companies involved with this game. The plot sounds absolutely silly, but at the same time sounds very interesting. I might this give a try myself. Word is that Compile Heart and Sega really want to bring this game stateside.

I really like how the designs for the -chan girls really reflects their respective companies. I.F.-chan is wearing kinda stiff-looking clothing with prominent collars much like other I.F characters; Gust-chan looks like she came straight out of an Atelier game; Compa-chan, has a headband with a C-shaped ornament, a belt with a C and heart on it, and a color-scheme that matches Compile Hearts logo; lastly Nippon Ichi-chan has the signature red neck wear that every NIS main character has, a flat chest, and NIS-style gloves. Her blue hair almost makes her look like an expy of Laharl. Oh and she goes berserk when someone comments on her flat chest. Nice continuity nod there. Just by looking at this game, one can tell its very fanservice-y and moe moe.

Famitsu gave this game 26/40 and Dengeki gave it 70,70,70,65. It did roughly the same as Trinity Universe.


EDIT: Here are some dialogue vids which I also posted down-low.
