Genshin Impact Web Event Lets You Make Greeting Cards

Posted: 29 Jan 2022 10:30 AM PST

genshin impact web event

Ring in the Lunar New Year with the "Festive Celebration of Flowing Hues" web event for Genshin Impact. Players can create Liyue-themed greeting cards to send to friends or share on social media. Prizes include Primogems, Mora, Hero's Wit, and Mystic Enhancement Ore. In order to obtain them, you must complete Festive Popularity Quests and obtain Popularity Points.

Similar to websites that allow you to make custom eCards, the Genshin Impact web event has you collect "Inspirations" in order to create a pop-up greeting card. There are three types of Inspirations: backgrounds, companions, and decorations. With the exception of the male and female Travelers, all of the companions you can obtain to place in the card are characters from Liyue. This is due to the fact that the Lantern Rite event, which is related to this web event, is focused on Liyue.

Aside from creating your own card, you can also look through ones that other people made and mark them as favorites. If there is a particular Inspiration you want that you see in someone else's card, you can click on it and make a wish. Coocoo will then bring you that Inspiration the next day. You can get up to three Inspirations a day using this method.

Genshin Impact is readily available on PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The "Festive Celebration of Flowing Hues" web event for Genshin Impact runs from January 29 until February 7, 2022.

Tina Joins Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation

Posted: 29 Jan 2022 09:00 AM PST

Dead or Alive Tina

Superstar pro wrestler and Dead or Alive franchise alum Tina Armstrong is going back to the island. Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation has added Tina as its newest playable character. As previously announced, Tina's inclusion comes as part of the franchise's 25th anniversary celebrations.

Koei Tecmo also included a trailer promoting Tina in Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation. You can view it here.

Tina Armstrong is an original Dead or Alive character. She has appeared in every main DOA game since 1996. She also appeared in the original Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, the original spinoff that formed the template for Venus Vacation. She's the daughter of DOA character Bass Armstrong. She continually enters DOA tournaments as a way to boost her celebrity profile. In DOA 5, she becomes a mentor to the character Mila.

Tina is the second mainline Dead or Alive character to be added to Venus Vacation post-release. Leifang joined the roster in 2018. Otherwise, the development team has mainly focused on adding new original characters like Koharu, Elise, and Nanami in the post-release period.

Players wishing to add Tina to their personal Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation rosters will need to roll the SSR Swimsuit "Dream Chaser (Tina)" on the in-game gacha system. To commemorate her addition, Koei Tecmo is also running a promotional campaign. The event awards players free V-Stone currency and gacha tickets.

Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation is available on PC via Steam, DMM, and Johren. It's region-locked to Japan and Asia.

Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Rei Ayanami GEM Figure is a Big Spoiler

Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Rei Ayanami Figure

Megahouse is releasing a new Precious G.E.M. figure of Rei Ayanami from Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time. Fans should be warned, however, as the figure's appearance itself is a major spoiler for the events of the latest movie. The figure will cost ¥17,380 (about $150) and ship sometime in September 2022. This is the first appearance of the figure's painted prototype.

Note: The Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Rei figure features spoilers for the films.

The figure itself stands at 225 mm tall (about 8 inches) including the base. The figure shows Rei Ayanami in her iconic white plugsuit, but with one major difference. While Rei's hairstyle is typically cut short, the figure instead features the character with long, waist-length hair. She also sits on what looks to be a stone structure. Her appearance is based on a scene towards the end of Evangelion 3.0+1.0 and is a major plot point for the Rebuild of Evangelion film series.

Megahouse also uploaded a video showing a 360-degree view of the figure, which you can check out below.

Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time debuted in Japanese theaters in 2021. Since then, characters from the movie like Mari, Asuka, and Rei have appeared as figures in various forms. Similarly, many of those figures also contain spoilers for the events of the movie.

The Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Rei Ayanami Precious GEM figure will release sometime in September 2022. It will cost ¥17,380 (about $150).

Gundam The Witch From Mercury

Sunrise and Japanese broadcaster TBS announced Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury will air starting October 2022. Each episode will air weekly on TBS' Sunday 5 p.m. time slot, and will appear across its network of 28 stations across Japan. There is still no confirmation on an English or Western release. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

Notably, the Witch From Mercury airing will mark the return of the Sunday time slot, which TBS ended back in 2016. Other Gundam series have also occupied the same time slot in the past. These have included Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. Additionally, it was previously home to countless other popular anime series, including My Hero Academia, Seven Deadly Sins, and Fullmetal Alchemist. The last anime series to air in that time slot was Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

TBS uploaded a tribute video that covers all of the time slot's past series, which you can check out below.

Sunrise announced Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury back in September 2021, alongside the upcoming Cucuruz Doan's Island movie adaptation. The anime series will reportedly cater to a worldwide teen demographic. Details on the series are still scarce. The official website also features various language options, possibly indicating a global release.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury will begin airing in October 2022. It will air weekly on Sundays at 5 p.m. on Japanese broadcaster TBS.
