ARMS’ Newest Character Misango Appears to Be a Poisonous Pugilist
Nobody can say ARMS doesn’t have a diverse cast of characters, and Nintendo is constantly updating the game’s roster. In fact, the company recently announced that the next playable character coming to ARMS is the unique, if somewhat stereotyped, Misango (say that name ten times fast and I’ll guarantee you will say Missingno by accident at least once).
By all appearances, Misango is a mishmash of ancient Mayan, Aztec, and/or Incan cultures and reminds me of video game characters designed during the 90s, back when game developers used stereotypes to create memorable characters — there’s a reason we still love Guile and Soda Popinki, despite them being caricatures. Since Misango hails from the not-Amazon rainforest, he comes with three new fists that, judging by the purple ooze dripping from them, probably poison his enemies. The first fist is a green, chunky roboscorpion that can detach from Misango’s arms and launch themselves at opponents; the second one is a big, disgusting, pulsating pustule of purple putrification barely constrained by leather straps, and the final fist is a bird’s head (or maybe it’s a skull) that’s literally salivating with purple poisonous bubbles.
Not only does Misango come with these never-before-seen fists, but he has a unique ability that makes him a jack-of-all-trades. A weird floating wisp is by Misango’s side at all times and can attach to his face to create either a red bull, blue eagle, or yellow sun mask. Each mask gives Misango a unique buff, as the bull mask apparently prevents Misango from flinching. The eagle mask improves his jumping and dodging abilities, and the sun mask outright blocks attacks. If that’s not a broken ability, I don’t know what is.
ARMS‘ Misango looks like he is going to be a very tricky character to both use and fight. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that if I’m right about his poisonous attacks and masks, he isn’t the kind of character who can finish off enemies quickly. My gut instinct says Misango is the kind of fighter who specializes in slowly whittling down enemies and winning by running down the clock rather than a knockout. Of course, that’s just what I gathered from the video, so we will have to wait until Nintendo provides a more informative video or updates ARMS with Misango to see if I’m right.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games
Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.
In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.
According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.
In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!
Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
It appears that many
are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.
We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.
