The twin Vtubers Fuwawa and Mococo Abyssgard, known as Fuwamoco, released an original song called “Born to Be Bau”dol.” While the two released covers since the Hololive English Advent debut in July 2023, this is their first original track.

“Born to be Bau”dol” is by PandaBoY, who worked on other Hololive Vtuber original songs like “Blue Clapper” and “Twinkle 4 You.” The composer also worked on songs for The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, D4DJ, FREE, and The Quintessential Quintuplets. There’s no single available to buy just yet. However, the music video for the new song is live on the Fuwamoco YouTube channel for the Vtubers Fuwawa and Mococo.

Here’s the full track. Sawtowne worked on the animation for it. Also, in addition to singing the song, Fuwawa and Mococo helped with the translation. (Turning on closed captions offers an English subtitle option.)

Prior to this track, the last Fuwamoco song was a cover of the Round Table and Nino song used for the anime Chobits, “Let Me Be with You.”

Also, for some covers, we see both Fuwawa and Mococo versions. This happened with “Cute na Kanojo.”

As part of the Hololive Advent first anniversary celebration, the twins and other members Shiori Novella, Nerissa Ravencroft, and Koseki Bijou released an original song named “Sirens.”

Nijisanji Vtuber Derem Kado, who was originally a part of Nijisanji ID before Anycolor folded it into the Japanese branch, announced on her social media account that she now on hiatus “indefinitely until my heart is healed.” This comes after a major music video project she worked on was canceled. 

The project in question was called LASTRENADE. It would have been a music video for all three members of the 53Renade unit, which consisted of Derem Kado, Nagisa Arcinia, and Reza Avanluna, featuring fan art from people who appreciated their work. The deadline for the project’s submissions was August 24, 2023. However, Reza graduated in September 2023. Derem noted that health issues alsoforced her to pause work on it initially. She then noted “Reza has graduated for too long so it couldn’t be released.” 

In the Derem Kado statement about the LASTRENADE project for the three Nijisanji Vtubers, she directed people to “please ask Anycolor” and noted “I am tired of explaining something ambiguously, and forcing myself to take all by myself.” 

Here is the full statement:

Derem’s last stream was on July 30, 2024. She played Townscraper.

There is no end date for the Nijisanji Vtuber Derem Kado hiatus.

FFVII Remake August 2024 Calendar Pairs Up Aerith and Barret https://www.siliconera.com/ffvii-remake-august-2024-calendar-pairs-up-aerith-and-barret/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ffvii-remake-august-2024-calendar-pairs-up-aerith-and-barret https://www.siliconera.com/ffvii-remake-august-2024-calendar-pairs-up-aerith-and-barret/#respond Thu, 01 Aug 2024 18:00:00 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1045536 FFVII Remake August 2024 Calendar Pairs Up Aerith and Barret

The Final Fantasy VII Remake August 2024 calendar images are live and mark a shift in how they are presented, given that FFVII Rebirth versions of Aerith and Barret are the stars this time around. It features the duo in optional costumes they can wear in the game and features their Synergy Ability pose.

In FFVII Rebirth, characters can team up for special moves called Synergy Abilities, and one for Aerith and Barret is called Sweet-and-Sour Salvo. When the two perform it, they first put on matching sunglasses and pose before attacking. The two also appear to be in the Costa del Sol region of the game, based on their attire and the scenery.

Here are the two options for the FFVII Remake Aerith and Barret calendar, which feature a landscape one for PCs and vertical one for mobile devices.

https://twitter.com/FFVIIR_CLOUD/status/1818844105339752454

Previously, these calendars tended to focus on single characters. Some of the past ones in 2024 featured Zack Fair, Sephiroth, and Vincent.

While there isn’t a physical FFVII Remake calendar for 2025 yet, there is one coming up for FFXIV. Square Enix already started taking orders for it. It features art from Dawntrail, the latest expansion.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC, and FFVII Rebirth is out on the PS5.

Netflix announced that it would offer Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color for subscribers to watch, and there’s a new trailer teasing its launch on the service. As of August 1, 2024, it is now available.

Godzilla Minus One launched in October 2023. It’s a live-action Reiwa entry in the series. The actions in and around WWII led to Godzilla becoming active, and the film focuses on the effect of this on Japan and actions taken by a former soldier named Koichi Shikishima as a result of his encounters with the kaiju. 

Following the original theatrical release, the Minus Color version of the film debuted in January 2024. This is an entirely black-and-white version of the movie. It was completely and totally edited and adjusted for that release.

Here’s the Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color Netflix trailer you can watch.

To compare, here is the original Godzilla Minus One trailer that shows how the film looks in color:

The original Godzilla Minus One is already on Netflix. It debuted on the service in June 2024. A Blu-ray Collector’s Edition that includes both versions of the film will release in September 2024.

Both Godzilla Minus One and Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color are available to watch on Netflix.

Preview: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Deserves Attention https://www.siliconera.com/preview-ace-attorney-investigations-collection-deserves-attention/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=preview-ace-attorney-investigations-collection-deserves-attention https://www.siliconera.com/preview-ace-attorney-investigations-collection-deserves-attention/#respond Thu, 01 Aug 2024 15:01:00 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1044708 Preview: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Deserves Attention

Do you know how long people have been asking for Ace Attorney Investigations 2 to be released in English and show up worldwide? I’m pretty sure since February 4, 2011, one day after it launched on the DS in Japan. It only got worse when Capcom did release a mobile port in Japan in 2017, but then only released the original Ace Attorney Investigations Android and iOS port everywhere. But Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is remedying that injustice, and after playing through some early cases I think it will be a welcome prospect for players. 

Both of the games in the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection star prosecutor Miles Edgeworth. They’re also a part of the canon timeline for the Ace Attorney series in general, taking place after Trials and Tribulation. (The first game is immediately after, and the second immediately follows the events of the first.) In each one, Edgeworth may feel a bit more like a detective than lawyer, as he’ll first investigate a scene after a crime, then go through a phase where people and suspects are confronted. The sequel also introduces a Mind Chess element that involves a timed minigame where you talk with your opponent to learn details and eventually beat them to get critical testimony.

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

When going through the first Ace Attorney Investigations, it was a pleasant homecoming. I really appreciated that spin-off when it first released worldwide, and the remastered graphics, new character sprite, and work put in to bring it to the Switch all made my initial case come together well. I especially liked the history feature, as it is a quality of life option I appreciate in other visual novel and adventure games. Considering what Edgeworth is dealing with here, it’s really helpful to be able to look back. 

As for my experiences with the first episode of Ace Attorney Investigations 2, I can’t express how pleased I was in the initial moments. The consistency with the localization honestly made it feel as though nothing changed and as if there hadn’t been any gap between global releases. The nature of the cases also fit in well, especially with the first picking up with an international incident that ties into the original game.

The one thing I did notice as I went through Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is that the new HD sprites really felt like a marked difference. I attribute this, in part, to the fact that even the original DS game used the more refined type of portraits for characters and, regardless of whether you select the HD or pixel art sprites before choosing a game or loading a save file, everything else features the remastered backgrounds, portraits, and texts. So while having the pixel art sprites is a fun bit of nostalgia, I found they felt rather out of place when actually going through the cases. 

After going through the initial cases in Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, I think everyone who has been waiting years for a chance to play this missing Edgeworth game will be pleased with how Capcom chose to honor these spin-offs. I’m not done with my new journey to bring the truth to light, and I’m already impressed with how well it’s been handled. Especially considering how the HD sprites and remastered elements look so far.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection will come to the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC on September 6, 2024

Skullgirls Mobile Gets Roxie as a Guest Star Character, VA Revealed https://www.siliconera.com/skullgirls-mobile-gets-roxie-as-a-guest-star-character-va-revealed/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=skullgirls-mobile-gets-roxie-as-a-guest-star-character-va-revealed https://www.siliconera.com/skullgirls-mobile-gets-roxie-as-a-guest-star-character-va-revealed/#respond Wed, 31 Jul 2024 15:30:00 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1045263 Skullgirls Mobile Gets Roxie as a Guest Star Character, VA Revealed

In the Skullgirls Mobile game, some folks who aren’t normally playable and tend to be NPCs are being made into Guest Star characters who can pop in to aid in a fight, and Roxie is the next one. She’ll be played by Anairis Quiñones in the game, and there’s no release window for her yet.

Roxie is a background character who is a part of Parasoul’s Black Egrets. She’s never been playable, but she’s often appeared as a background character during parts of the game. She was also one of the potential fighter options during the Indiegogo campaign alongside fellow team members Adam, Molly, and Panzerfaust. 

As for Quiñones, her voice may sound familiar. She’s Lynette, the four-star character from Fontaine, in Genshin Impact. She also played Kimberly in Street Fighter 6, Mirko in My Hero Academia, and Yelena in Attack on Titan.

We already know about a few other Skullgirls Mobile Guest Star characters who will eventually join the game. Minette and Brain Drain are confirmed. Minette seems to be the furthest along in development.

Netflix shared a new trailer and release window update for the Sakamoto Days anime adaptation. It will come to the streaming service in January 2025. 

We first learned about the Sakamoto Days anime back in May 2024. Back then, a January 2025 air date was confirmed for Japan. However, a worldwide release and home wasn’t noted at the time. 

Here’s the latest trailer. English subtitles are available if closed captions are turned on. It goes over the general premise of the series. That is, Taro Sakamoto used to be a legendary hitman. When he met his future wife, he retired and started a family. Now he runs a store. However, his past catches up with him, so Sakamoto needs to rely his skills and the help of some other allies he works with and knows to protect his family and new life.

While the manga series has been running in Japan since 2020, it took a few years for it to show up worldwide. Viz Media began releasing volumes of it in English in April 2022.

The anime adaptation of Sakamoto Days will air on Netflix in January 2025, and the manga is handled by Viz Media outside Japan.

The latest Deltarune Chapter 3, 4, and 5 update is live, and it primarily focuses on how work on Chapter 4 is going and the road to the release of Chapter 3 & 4. Toby Fox noted in the July 2024 newsletter that three people completed the “unfinished Chapter 4” and some of the development tasks involve adjusting four battles, working on two cutscenes, and polishing a bit.

In the update, Fox noted that the goal is to have a simultaneous worldwide release on both consoles and PCs for the third and fourth parts. He also noted those two together are longer than the first and second ones. As for Chapter 5 of Deltarune, Fox noted initial work on bullet patterns and maps started.

Toby Fox also released a “Quests to Release Chapter 3 & 4” page that offers a more detailed explanation of the current Deltarune progress as the team works toward getting to Chapter 5. It goes over how YoYoGames made a new Gamemaker function just for this title called game_change and the challenges of being the test case first. Then it talks about getting the console versions of the game prepared. (The first two chapters appeared on the Switch and PS4.) The Japanese localization work will start after that. Finally, they’ll deal with bugs, getting a rating, and the last bits of preparation for release.

Deltarune Chapter 3 & 4 are in development for consoles and the PC.
