The Boy Scouts in Japan announced the organization will start a Pokemon Trainer Program, and the official site for it is now open. Children will complete missions that aim to improve skills like teamwork, observation, and first aid, with each activity having a Pokemon theming to them.

A few of the ways in which the Pokemon Trainer Program will work already came up. Examples of activities include looking for Tinkatuff’s hammer, climbing a hill to rescue a stranded Pokemon, and scavenging for edible nuts or berries to feed a hungry Morpeko. These are all important skills for children to learn if they’re ever stranded or encounter someone who needs help while they’re outside.

As a note, though the Boy Scouts are organizing this program, the gender of the child does not matter. Girls can also participate if they want. This program is for children who are around ten years old. However, the accepted age may differ depending on which prefecture you sign up in. The starting date, as well as how many applicants the program will accept, differs between prefectures as well.

Details for specific prefectures are available on the official website for the Boy Scouts Pokemon Trainer program. The newest entry in the Pokemon game franchise will be Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which will come out on October 16, 2025 for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.

NIKKE Red Hood Nendoroid Appears Ahead of Other Figures

Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE Nendoroid a day after it confirmed future figures in the line will be Scarlet: Black Shadow and Soda. Red Hood will show up in Japan in December 2025, followed by a US release in Q2 2026. She’ll cost ¥7,900/$56.99. There are no release windows for Scarlet: Black Shadow and Soda yet. 

Red Hood is a notable and influential heroine in NIKKE, so much so that there’s even a Rapi alt inspired by her. She comes with three face plates. She’s smiling in one, is blushing with an even wider smile in another, and is shouting in the third. She comes with her Wolfsbane sniper rifle, as well as some effect parts to make it look like she’s using it. She also has a cassette she can hold. 

Here’s a closer look at that Nendoroid. 

As for the two new designs, those came up during the Nendoroid FUNS June 2025 showcase. Since Scarlet: Black Shadow and Soda are still early in development, only concept art for both NIKKE characters appeared. These were in the Nendoroid style though, so we do have some idea of how they will look.

Here’s that teaser image Good Smile Company shared with us:

The Goddess of Victory: NIKKE Red Hood Nendoroid will debut in December 2025 in Japan and worldwide in Q2 2026, and pre-orders for the figure end on July 30, 2025. The Scarlet: Black Shadow and Soda ones are in development. NIKKE is available on the PC and mobile devices.

Next Aksys Otome Illusion of Itehari Debuts in September

Aksys took to social media to confirm the release date for its next otome game Illusion of Itehari, and the English localization of Utakata no Uchronia will debut on September 18, 2025. Both Amazon and the company are already taking pre-orders for the title. However, only Aksys is selling a $59.99 edition that includes the soundtrack. 

We actually learned Aksys picked up Utakata no Uchronia almost exactly a year ago, as it ended up being one of the Switch otome games the company shared at Anime Expo 2024. Shortly after, it confirmed the English name would be Illusion of Itehari. This is another example of the company branching out with localizations, as this title is a Broccoli and TIS Creation one. 

The game takes its name from the town in which its heroine lives. Itehari is a rich, lavish city in the sky. Hinagiku lived her whole life there. However, she always wanted to leave it and see the rest of the world, and she gets the chance to learn the truth about it and everythinga fter an encounter with a mysterious man named Yashiro. Naturally, he’s one of five possible love interests for her. 

The Amazon product page shared some additional screenshots of Hinagiku with characters like Yashiro, Awayuki, Tobari, Tsuyukusa, and Yori. Here’s how those CGs look:

The last Aksys otome game to appear was 7’scarlet. That ended up being a Switch version of a title it previously worked on. 

Illusion of Itehari is headed to the Nintendo Switch worldwide, and its release date is September 18, 2025.

See Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Estelle and Joshua English Trailers

Nihon Falcom and GungHo released matching Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter trailers highlighting the English voice actors for stars Estelle and Joshua. Each video offers examples of cinematic scenes and notable lines, and there are a few times when we see each character attack. Both appeared after the Japanese YouTube did the same. 

First, here’s the Estelle English Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter trailer. She’s voiced by Stephanie Sheh. She’s reprising her role from past games, and we most recently heard her play the character in Trails into Reverie. She appeared as Maria Robotnik in Sonic x Shadow Generations and Lacus Clyne in Gundam SEED Freedom recently too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH4nv6q1JtM

Here’s the Japanese version of that video. Tomoyo Takayanagi is her voice actress in that language.

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

Next, here’s the Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Joshua trailer highlighting Johnny Yong Bosch as his English voice actor. Like Sheh, he’s reprising a role he’s played since Trails of Cold Steel IV. Other recent parts he played include Ichigo Kurosaki in Bleach Rebirth of Souls and Vash in Trigun Stampede

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

And here’s the Japanese trailer highlighting Natsumi Fujiwara’s performance as Joshua. 

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

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter will come to the Switch, PS5, and PC on September 19, 2025. Standard and collector’s editions will be available. However, in the case of the Bracer Edition, the game will be shipped ahead of the bonus items, as those won’t appear until sometime between November and December 2025.

Hololive Vtubers Fuwamoco Sing Nekopara After Song

Now that Nekopara After: La Vraie Famille, the latest entry in the Neko Works visual novel series about catgirls, is available via Sekai Project, Hololive Fuwamoco Vtubers Fuwawa and Mococo Abyssgard announced they sing the ending theme song. It’s called “Side by Side,” and it is both on streaming services and YouTube.

“Side by Side” is created by Aiobahn +81 and Kris Roche, as the Hololive Fuwamoco Vtubers only provided the vocals for the track. The music video also only showcases characters like Chocola and Vanilla, as Fuwawa and Mococo don’t appear in it. However, the official cover for the song’s single does show the two performers in the same maid outfits Chocola and Vanilla wear when working at Patisserie La Soleil. 

Here's Fuwamoco performing the Nekopara After song "Side by Side" for its official music video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rzCDwmSvzQ

While this song for the game was a surprise, we already knew what the opening theme would be for Nekopara After. Ceui performed the song “Contrail” for the visual novel.

It’s been a pretty big day for Nekopara game news. We also learned more about Nekopara Sekai Connect. That’s the mobile spin-off inspired by the series. Most importantly, we know it will debut in 2026. It’s the replacement for Nekoparaiten.

Nekopara After: La Vraie Famille is available now on PCs, though it isn’t on Steam just yet.

Atelier Resleriana Switch, PS5, and PC Game Release Date Set

Koei Tecmo and Gust confirmed we’ll see Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian this fall on the Switch, PS5, and PC, as it set a release date. The official site confirmed it will debut on September 26, 2025. Pre-orders are open, and there’s a digital early purchase bonus for getting it by October 9, 2025. There are also two new trailers looking at the game.

Everyone in Hallfein disappeared, and nobody really knew what happened. However, Rias Eidreise and Slade Clauslyter are going to find out. The two grew up there and return at the same time once people are allowed to return to the area. Rias is the alchemist this time around, while Slade can use a Geist Core that lets them go to alternate dimensions to aid in their investigations.

Here’s the trailer that highlights the Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian story, shows off gameplay, and shared its release date for the Switch, PS5, and PC versions appearing worldwide.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2Y87-C8Cms

There is also a version of this trailer in which Gust head and producer for this title Junzo Hosoi and development producer Yasunori Sakuda both offered commentary on what happens in it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iodw5B2QT0E

As for the early purchase bonus, it gives us two costumes and a pack of items. These are basically active looks for exercising for the two leads. Slade can wear Fresh Trainer and Rias can wear ion Runner. The Adventuring Charm Set in the bundle gives us a Training Charm that boosts XP earn and a Victor’s Charm that boosts SP we get.

Here’s how the costumes look: 

As a reminder, this game did have ties to Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator. That appeared on PCs and mobile devices. However, it is no longer available, as Koei Tecmo shut the global version down back in March 2025.

The Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian will appear on the Switch, PS5, and PC worldwide and on the PS4 in Japan, and the release date is September 26, 2025.

The Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian will appear on the Switch, PS5, and PC worldwide and on the PS4 in Japan, and the release date is September 26, 2025.

Review: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster Is a Joy to Play Again Switch 2

The original Bravely Default and Bravely Second left me awestruck. The gameplay called to mind Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light and more classic entries in that series, and the story’s direction grabbed hold of me in a way that nearly felt unhealthy. I spent hours getting every job, exploring every sidequest, and building up my characters as stayed until the very end. 11 years later, even though I did all this before, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster triggered the same response on the Switch 2,  and this Square Enix game remains a fantastic JRPG.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster begins with Agnes Oblige calling out for help, asking for warriors of light for salvation as the world crumbles around her and she falls into the cracks. Across the world, we see shepherd Tiz Arrior tending his flock with his little brother Til when the Great Chasm swallows up their village of Norende, leaving him the only survivor. When he returns to the ruins, he finds the Wind Vestal Agnes and the Cryst-fairy Airy who are on a journey to awaken the four crystals of the world to save it. The two end up ed by an amnesiac named Ringabel, who holds a book called D’s Journal that sometimes seems to predict the future, and the Eternian defector Edea Lee who is disgusted by the behavior of the Sky Knights.

I’m not going to say anything more about the story. I don’t want to spoil anything. But it is great, the characters are fantastic, and it holds up over 10 years later.

Like Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is a turn-based JRPG with a job system. As you defeat Asterisk holder bosses, you gain new roles for of your party to undertake. You can then, in turn, combine them by equipping a second command category and an ability that offers some sort of extra feature of buff or bonus. For example, you can make someone a Black Mage who also has the White Magic class of spells and equipped the Angelic Ward ability that might halve damage or a Ninja with Thief command and Raid ability that could increase everyone’s BP when a battle starts. 

Speaking of BP, that’s the element that sets Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster apart as a JRPG. You can either stock up on action points (Default), making a character defend against attacks in the process, or act up to four times in a single turn (Brave) by forgoing attacking the next three turns after that. Think of it as being both a strategic and quality of life gameplay element. In more standard encounters, you could direct all four characters to each use Brave four times in a row to attack (or create an “Auto” preset with that) to quickly grind for levels and job points to level up roles to get access to more abilities. That lets you wipe everything out in one turn. In the case of a boss fight or more difficult challenge, you could use Default to defend and stockpile turns or prepare for guards to drop, then respond with multiple attacks at once. You can gain greater control of a battle’s pace. I personally like to have one of my physical attackers (Edea or Tiz) Brave all at once, then have Agnes and Ringabel perform more nuanced attacks responding to situations ASAP. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8kBXtwz0

As in Final Fantasy or other Square Enix JRPG games, the adventure in Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster sends us around the world. There is the main campaign, as well as sidequest stories to follow. For the sake of clarity, Airy appears in the in-game menu to offer suggestions. There are party talk moments when the four discuss what’s going on or offer insight into the world. Campaign quest objectives are highlighted with orange markers, while sidequests use blue ones. The UI, redone for this release, is easy to parse. Not to mention the towns we visit are even more stunning in this version, thanks to enhanced textures that make the pop-up, fairytale designs really, well, pop. In general, every main character, major opponent, and enemy looks wonderful in HD with the updated models and textures. The opening movie and new voice acting is also wonderful and adds to the experience. 

The other changes to Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster on the Switch 2 feel like appropriate quality of life additions. While newcomers might not use the fast forward auto-play option as much, I it to using it a few times early on to see how it worked and get to a full party faster. It’s a great option! The 50% to 200% encounter rate is handy for grinding, and I love being able to have four possible presets for the auto-battle function that carries over when fights start. Because of the way I play, I didn’t need the “recommended level” for dungeons, but I expect that will be quite handy for others. I also think the way Souls appear every 24 hours in-town is helpful, since getting folks to help rebuild Norende or allies for attacks would be as easy as it was in the 3DS years. 

While the two new minigames are fun enough, rebuilding Norende still feels like the most valuable optional activity. The souls you gather from towns from other players allow you to assign those “townsfolk” to unlocking and upgrading tasks in the fledgeling village following the devastation at the beginning of the game. This adds more to a shop, additional Special Moves, and sometimes bonuses for just stopping by. It’s great to load up folks on a task to bring the timing down to 15-30 minutes when you’re active, then spread them out when you’ll be sleeping or away for 12-24 hours. 

I will say that I sort of feel like the Luxencheer Rhythm Catch and Ringabel’s Panic Cruise minigames in
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster are better introductions to the Switch 2 Joy-Con mouse controls than Nintendo's Welcome Tour. In Ringabel’s Panic Cruise, you’re actually using the left and right controllers in mouse mode to steer the ship, perform certain controls to hit altitudes, manage folks’ requests, swat flies, and maintain speeds. It’s interesting and a great showcase of the new feature! Luxencheer Rhythm Catch is a more typical type of rhythm game, with the mouse controls tasking you with catching note indicators with the energy line between your two lightsticks or moving in time with the (ittedly great) songs from the game’s soundtrack. Both can be genuinely fun and show what the console can do.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is a remarkable Switch 2 JRPG, and the core gameplay, mechanics, and story remain fresh and relevant. It looks beautiful and runs wonderfully on the Switch 2. I’d even say the new gameplay additions serve as a better introduction to mouse controls for the hardware than the actual tech demo minigame collection Nintendo created. Anyone who picks it up to go with their new system won’t be disappointed.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is available on the Switch 2.

kagurabachi hiatus

Kagurabachi will go on a short hiatus and return in Issue 30. Issue 30 will come out in Japan on June 23, 2025. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

The last chapter of Kagurabachi to come out in the weekly magazine was Chapter 82. That one was in the June 9, 2025 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. As for the reason behind the hiatus, it’s because mangaka Takeru Hokazono needs a break for health reasons. Though there aren’t any details or specifics, it’s likely not a serious ailment if he’s going to return at the end of the month.

Kagurabachi is a manga that started serialization in September 2023. It’s an action and fantasy series that follows Chihiro, the son of a famous swordsmith. Though he aspires to become a swordsmith in the future, his life takes a tragic turn after his father’s murder. With sword in hand, Chihiro embarks on a journey to take revenge on the killers. The manga is highly popular not only for its artwork and story, but also from Internet memes that circled around it on English social media. As of the time of writing, it’s the 9th most popular manga on Shueisha’s Mangaplus. It’s just behind Sakamoto Days and Spy x Family.

The Kagurabachi manga will go on hiatus until Issue 30 of Weekly Shonen Jump, which will come out on June 23, 2025.

Genshin Impact Skirk Anime Short Hints at Her Origins

HoYoVerse released a new Genshin Impact anime style short for Skirk that looks at her backstory and hints at her origins before the events of the game. It also features a number of cameos that show her interactions with prominent of the cast before her debut as a playable unit.

Editor’s Note: The Genshin Impact anime short for Skirk features spoilers for the character. 4u4y14

The Genshin Impact Skirk anime style introduction begins with her being picked by Surtalogi: The Foul. He is sending her to Teyvat and notes that the Descenders to the world have “the power to reshape the fate of the world.” However, Sutralogi noted she is not one, since he brought her there, and as such is a “treser.” We then see her fall like a shooting star, with Fontaine characters like Furina and Neuvillette see her descent. 

As Surtalogi tells her to “walk his path” to find a way to defeat him, he also reminds Skirk that Teyvat isn’t her home. Segments after that hint she encountered Klee’s mom Alice, Dainsleif, and Childe (Tartaglia). We also see her numerous battles against various types of opponents. 

Here’s the full “Star Odyssey” short:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxAubNf3EQQ

We do know what to expect from Skirk’s moveset once she debuts in-game. She’ll be a Cryo character who uses a sword to attack opponents. She’ll use The Foul’s attack for her Havoc: Warp Elemental Skill. Also, she doesn’t use Elemental Energy for her Havoc: Ruin Burst, instead it with or without Serpent’s Subtlety earned from her Skill. 

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices. The 5.7 update arrives on June 18, 2025.

Tamagotchi Paradise and Peanuts Snoopy Tamagotchi Nano Debut in August

Bandai Namco set the US release dates for the new mainline Tamagotchi Paradise and the spin-off Peanuts Nano virtual pet starring Snoopy. Both debut on August 1, 2025. The mainline, color system with a crank costs $44.99, and Amazon pre-orders are open for all three colors. The Nano with a silicone case shaped like a doghouse is $32.99, with Amazon also taking pre-orders for it.

This does mean there’s about a one month gap between the Japanese and US releases for all of these devices. The Peanuts Tamagotchi Nano with Snoopy debuts in Japan on July 12, 2025, as do the three Paradise models. 

In the case of the Nano, this is a barebones variant of the virtual pet. There’s no color screen. You can’t connect to the internet. It is only about 4cm tall. You raise Snoopy, which can evolve into different variants of the character based on your care. Others will appear as cameos. The three minigames in it are Beagle Scouts, Snoopy’s Suppertime, and Write the Great American Novel.

With the new mainline models, they’re much larger at over 3in. The idea is you can turn the crank to zoom in and out on a world. 12 species of character are present, with 50 characters to start, and you can breed them in your device or by connecting with someone else’s to create variants by mixing genes. There are more varied minigames and experiences in it than in a Nano model.

Here’s how the three Paradise visual pet variants look:

Both the Peanuts Tamagotchi Nano starring Snoopy and the three Paradise variants will launch in the US on August 1, 2025, with Bandai Namco’s Amazon storefront being the first outlet with pre-orders open.

Tamagotchi Paradise and Peanuts Snoopy Tamagotchi Nano Debut in August

Bandai Namco set the US release dates for the new mainline Tamagotchi Paradise and the spin-off Peanuts Nano virtual pet starring Snoopy. Both debut on August 1, 2025. The mainline, color system with a crank costs $44.99, and Amazon pre-orders are open for all three colors. The Nano with a silicone case shaped like a doghouse is $32.99, with Amazon also taking pre-orders for it.

This does mean there’s about a one month gap between the Japanese and US releases for all of these devices. The Peanuts Tamagotchi Nano with Snoopy debuts in Japan on July 12, 2025, as do the three Paradise models. 

In the case of the Nano, this is a barebones variant of the virtual pet. There’s no color screen. You can’t connect to the internet. It is only about 4cm tall. You raise Snoopy, which can evolve into different variants of the character based on your care. Others will appear as cameos. The three minigames in it are Beagle Scouts, Snoopy’s Suppertime, and Write the Great American Novel.

Disgaea 7 Complete Will Be a Switch 2 Exclusive

Back in 2023, Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless showed up on the PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC, and now in Fall 2025 Disgaea 7 Complete will debut on the Switch 2. As with pasts releases, it includes all DLC, and this version will also include some new challenges and Asagi. Rakshasa Baal will also be present to fight. A first trailer showed everything off.

In Disgaea 7 Complete, we follow a rich otaku named Pirilika who wants the full Hinomoto Netherworld experience. However, when she gets there she finds it is nothing like she expected. So she hired Fuji, tricking him into a contract, to help her restore the region and bushido code. 

Here’s the first trailer confirming Disgaea 7 Complete will show up on the Switch 2. While it initially started with standard gameplay footage, by the halfway point we get teasers for the included DLC, Asagi, and Rakshasa Baal. Hell Mode for everyone is confirmed, if you “Freely Use Infernal Treasures,” and the previous stat cap can be lifted if you “Take Me Beyond the Limits.” The official site also confirmed the DLC bonus stories and characters, Pleinair, glasses costumes, special weapons set, Disgaea costumes, and generic unit costumes will all be part of this.

Disgaea 7 Complete is coming to the Switch 2 in Fall 2025, and the main game is already on the PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC.

Ender Lilies Nendoroid Brings Lily to Life

One of the big surprises during the Good Smile Company Nendoroid FUNS June 2025 presentation ended up being the reveal of an Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights Nendoroid of the heroine Lily. It’s incredibly early in development. As such, only concept art of the character appeared during the video.

The first concept art of Lily suggested how the final Nendoroid might look. She’ll wear her white dress with black ribbon belt. The one possible pose suggested she’ll look a bit apprehensive, as she does when standing behind one of the warriors who fights for her. Her expression in the first piece of artwork makes her look a little pensive.

Here’s the full June 2025 Nendoroid FUNS showcase. The Lily reveal came up after a little gameplay clip from the Ender Lilies game at the 11:40 mark.

There have been two games in the Ender series so far. The first is Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. That debuted in 2021 in early access before a full launch. Then in 2025, Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist showed up in early access before a full debut.

The Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights Lily Nendoroid is in development, and the game is available on the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Danganronpa V3 Kokichi Oma Nendoroid Arrives Next

During the June 2025 Nendoroid FUNS showcase, Good Smile Company confirmed the next Danganronpa figure we will see will be of Kokichi Oma from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. There’s no release window for him yet. His pre-orders could open soon, however, as a painted prototype appeared in the video.

There were three poses highlighted during the showcase. Two featured Kokichi with his hat and cape off, and the third showed him with them on. All three of his face plates appeared, with one being a standard smiling expression, one more excited, and a third that seemed devious. While we do know the hat and cape will be included, none of his other possible accessories showed up in the shots during the showcase.

You can see all three of those poses in the gallery below:

Here’s the full June 2025 Nendoroid FUNS presentation. The Danganronpa announcement came up at about the 12:45 mark. Only Kokichi appeared, and no other figures of characters ended up announced.

This is the first Nendoroid of a character from this announcement. However, we have seen scale figures of Kaede Akamatsu before. 

The Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony Kokichi Oma Nendoroid is in development, and the game is available on the Switch, PS4, Vita, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices.
