I wasn't sure where else to put this, since it may not technically count as "news" - but anyway:

IFI have been posting a series of #NepInNippon updates ffrom Japan - including a meet-up at Super Potato between Nep and Sega Saturn "Shiro". (A hint at things to come, perhaps?)

So, for anyone who isn't following these updates already, I thought it might be worth mentioning them here.
