June 2022 Haul Batch #1 - I had received a few things over the past couple of days and didn't have the time or motivation to make a post until today, so here we are.
Going to start off with a quick mention that I managed to get some more add-on rows for my bookshelf from IKEA. They were out of stock for a while but recently I made an order and arrived last weekend. I had to re-arrange my shelf rows so that the light novels are at the top while the smaller-sized manga are in the middle rows followed by the larger-sized manga at the bottom.
We have some more Idea Factory games with
Neptunia ReVerse, a PlayStation 5 remake of a PlayStation 4 remaster of a PlayStation Vita remake of a PlayStation 3 game. ReVerse is basically the definitive version of the game with 4K resolution and 60FPS gameplay as well as an Arrange Mode for those who already finished previous versions and instead of 3 characters in a party its now 4. The trophies are also different but will take as long as the previous one.
Then we have
Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars, though in this case I just have the standard edition PlayStation 4 game. There is a Day 1 Edition but Idea's store didn't have one and it was at a price-range that was doable to get.
Keeping the Asian Cinema collection going, the latest 88 Films release arrived with
The Killer Meteors (風雨雙流星), a 1976 Hong Kong film directed by Lo Wei and the late Jimmy Wang Yu, and also starring Jackie Chan. Just like the other releases, the first print edition has a slipcase, poster and booklet.
I made a Blackwells order consisting of a whole bunch of Viz Media manga, though unfortunately they are being dispatched at different times. All of them have shipped but currently two volumes have appeared for the meantime. For now we have
Fire Punch Volume 4 and
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders Volume 6.
More video games have been ordered and these two have been on my radar for a while. The first to arrive was
Trials of Mana, the remake of the previously Japan only Super Famicom game by Square Enix. I still have Secret of Mana to play but I felt it made sense to get the sequel in case prices go up.
Then we have
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered from Bandai Namco. While I do own the original PlayStation 3 version I actually did not get the chance to play that one, so I figured I may as well jump straight to the remaster.
Matt Reeves's
The Batman on 4K Ultra HD also arrived yesterday. I really enjoyed this film back at the cinema so I immediately wanted to get the film on home video. The standard set also includes an additional Blu-ray disc for bonus features.
