Pixel x Pixel Episode 107

4 / 22 / 234 / 22 / 23

Welcome back to yet another episode of Pixel x Pixel, where co-hosts Marcus and Anne see all the hot new movies and play all the hottest video game releases! Well, that’s what it feels like this time anyway, with Marcus and Anne dipping their toes into the Resident Evil 4 remake and watching the Mario movie on opening night. But it’s not all shiny and new media, as the pair stay true to their roots by also watching and playing some extremely random things… Plus, Anne covers a Japanese stationery event and does some promotion to celebrate the release of Norn9: Var Commons!

Japan Envy: Shibanban x Capcom

3 / 21 / 233 / 21 / 23

Capcom has just announced its latest line of collab merchandise, and it’s with the adorable shiba line Shibaban by illustrator Yasuteru Ogoshi! There are five main designs from four of Capcom’s iconic game series, Okami (Amaterasu and Oki), Monster Hunter (Palamute), Mega Man (Rush), and Resident Evil (Cerberus). The Shibanban shiba looks absolutely adorable in all of the different themed costumes!

The merchandise lineup includes everything from acrylic standees to washi tape and sticky notes. The products will be released both online on the Parco Capcom store and in official Capcom stores in Tokyo, Osaka, and Umeda on March 25th. Check out all of the super cute items below!

I find it really interesting that they chose to include Oki, as I feel like he’s not featured in a lot of merchandise. Plus, there are two dogs from Okami, and only one from each of the other games. Did they run out of Capcom dog characters? Can you think of any others that could’ve been good candidates?

Though, I’m certainly not complaining, as I love every one of the designs!

In addition to the items you can buy outright, Capcom is also releasing UFO catcher exclusive items that must be won through Capcom’s UFO catcher app, Capcom Net Catcher, or an arcade in Japan offering one of the machines.

There are two cooler bag designs at the top right! How cool is that?

All of the UFO catcher items will also release on the 25th. Guess I’ll scouring the Japanese second hand market…

Finally, there are two special tote bag designs! The Amaterasu design will be offered as a free gift at Capcom stores with any purchase of the Shibanban x Capcom line products totaling over 4,000 yen. The Palamute bag will be offered at Capcom arcades to people who spend 1500 yen on the Shibanban x Capcom UFO catcher machines; you will collect one ticket for every 500 yen deposited, and can exchange three tickets for the tote bag.

The Amaterasu and Palamute designs are definitely my favorites, so I love that they chose to put them on the promo tote bags! You bet I’d get desperate to get my hands on at least one of them if I was in Japan. Neither promotion will be available for online orders, so unfortunately they will be harder to get than the other products.

For those unfamiliar with Yasuteru Ogoshi’s Shibanban illustrations, I highly recommend checking out their Instagram account! They release lots of super cute shiba merch through Mindwave such as stickers and other stationery, as well as products with other companies. They even have a wide range of stickers for LINE!

If you are interested in trying to snag some of these items from the Parco Capcom online store when they go up for purchase on March 25th, you can do so using a forwarding service such as Tenso. For more information on my experience with Tenso, check out this post!

So in love with this mug from @nepeteaa currently So in love with this mug from @nepeteaa currently available at US Target as part of their 2023 Pride collection! 🍎 edit to say that the "outrage" over some of the products is awful and I'm sure completely disingenuous. Trans youth deserve support, affirmation and respect!!
Edit 2: I hate to say but unfortunately this was one of the items that was removed by Target, so it is in fact not currently available like I originally stated 😞
Filled it with my favorite brew before I get started on some crafting ☕✨ Speaking of crafts, I made the lime coaster out of felt! It's a super fun and easy project, highly recommend if you want to practice hand sewing 🍋
