Topic: The Hyperdimension Neptunia Thread

Hyperdimension Neptunia fan right here. I watched the anime for the series a few months ago on Crunchyroll, and found most of the OVAs on YouTube. As an otaku, I absolutely love this series, and I noticed that there wasn't a thread for this series except a few old ones that were mostly locked off, so I thought, "Why don't I just make a thread for everything involving this series?", then I did that.

Feel free to talk about anything involving the Neptunia franchise, including but not limited to: the mainline games, the spin-off games, the anime, favorite characters, the music, and announcements and news involving the franchise.

I'll start: I was really disappointed when Nintendo of America canceled the English release of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth Collection (one of the things that is keeping me undecided about Switch 2). Thankfully, Playasia is selling $40 physical copies of each of the three games included in the collection (or $60 collector's editions). I intend on getting the first one around Christmas time, then getting the other two in 2026, assuming I like the first one. I'll add links to the standard, not collector's edition versions here for anyone who is interested (important note: 2 and 3 haven't been released yet):

On a side note, the developer Compile Heart announced that the next mainline Neptunia game will be announced before the end of this year, and they just recently started the franchise's 15th anniversary celebration recently, since the first game came out on August 19, 2010. Does anyone have any thoughts and theories about the next mainline game? I'll share mine later.

Go wild, fellow Neptunia fans!

Personally I would stay away from Play Asia, nothing but a bunch of crooks and con artists. They take your money refuse to send you your product then basically tell you your ***** out of luck and refuse to give you your money back. Never ever dealt with such a scummy company before.

Save yourself the agony and dont do business with them. I wish some warned me about them.

A while back, I had an idea for the next mainline Neptunia game. The new bad guy should be Blanc (Nintendo) from an alternate future where Lowee (Wii) eventually becomes a new country that is a parody of the Nintendo Switch, and this alternate Blanc kills all the other goddesses and younger sisters, and wants to do the same in alternate timelines as well. The alternate Blanc's weapons are two short swords, a red one and a blue one (Obvious Joy-Con parody).
