The year of 2021 gave us some releases such as localized versions of Neptunia Virtual Stars and re*Verse, a crossover game featuring characters from the Senran Kagura franchise and a new Thanksgiving OVA of the anime. It also gave us announcements such as a new Neptunia game subtitled Sisters vs. Sisters starring the CPU Candidates as the main characters, a home video release of the Thanksgiving OVA with a new Adult Neptune Generator Unit figure and a bonus PC game entitled Dimension Tripper Neptune: TOP NEP with a Steam release arriving around early next year, and a new OVA starring Chrome and the child CPUs to end the trilogy now in the works.

With 2021 coming to a close, we hope that the new year will give us some exciting releases and localizations when it arrives!

A brand-new dimension traveler? Who could it be? So based on that Tweet, We could see what looks like a new HDD form along with a Top Nep title screen. Could it be Purple Heart's new processor unit, or possibly an alternate costume for the older Neptune?

Another teaser has been posted, and we can confirm that it is Big Nep:

Okay, there's some confusion about Mi and Yu's names being translated to literally "Me" and "You" on IFI's translation of Virtual Stars' story.

And as a comparison, here are their official Twitter accounts:

https://twitter.com/mii_mewtral

ミイ🍋🌼 (@mii_mewtral) | Twittertwitter.com

https://twitter.com/yuu_mewtral

ユウ🥝⚙ (@yuu_mewtral) | Twittertwitter.com

ミイ (Mī) sounds close to Mi and ユウ (Yū) sounds close to Yu.

UPDATE: So I looked at the game's official OP and played the game, and the names are literally translated as "Me" and "You" for some odd reason.

What do you think about this name translation? Do the translated names sound weird or should they be called by their proper names?
