KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World is getting a new video game adaptation, this time a bit more interactive than the last. The first KonoSuba game was a visual novel from 5pb. This one, as revealed in a new teaser trailer from publisher Entergram, is a first-person dungeon-crawling RPG.
While neither a title nor a release date was announced for this game, what was announced was a new original song accompanying it. It’s called “Stand Up!” and is performed by pop singer and voice actress Machico. A teaser website was also launched, which you can check out right here.
If you’ve never heard of it, KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World is a transmedia property that has risen in popularity since its origins as a 2012 “web novel” series written by Natsume Akatsuki (her pseudonym at the time being Jitakukeibihei). It would eventually become a light novel series, then get adapted into manga and anime form. Both the light novels, manga, and anime are available in English (the latter via Crunchyroll), and a third season of the anime is on the way. In the series, Kazuma Sato, a NEET (Japanese shut-in of sorts), dies in a pretty embarrassing way, but then he meets a goddess who reincarnates him in a RPG-like world. The two form a party of adventurers, and set off on a journey to fight the Demon King.

When's the last time you played your Vita?

The last time I played mine was when Hotline Miami 2 launched. I was having a great time and unfortunately, my cat knocked it off a shelf and the screen shattered. Haven’t fixed it and have never played a Vita ever since.

For me it was just yesterday. Granted, I was only using it to remote play Destiny 2 and squeeze in a little extra Iron Banner time while the kids were napping, but that counts, right?

A week ago. I have acually been using it a lot for Remote Play, as it's easier to play around the house with the Vita.

Vita... Vita... I'd be lucky if I could even tell you where mine was, let alone the last time I played it. It has to have been well over a year ago now. I think it's in my bedside drawer. I ought to dust the ol' thing off and give it a whirl again, for old time's sake. -

I sold my Vita about a year ago, about when the vast majority of the games I liked for the system got PS4 ports. Last time I remember playing it was October 2016 when I lost power for half a week due to a hurricane. I still have a PSTV and my old memory stick somewhere, but I haven't had much reason to pull it out and set it up... eventually the visual novels I want make it to PS4 or Steam, and my backlog is big enough without adding another platform to play in the mix!

The last time I played my Vita was when I Platinumed Bad Apple Wars, which I got for review. That was September I think.

I use my Vita quite often for remote play. The wife recently had surgery and was stuck at home with me for 6 weeks, so in order to not drive her crazy with all of the games I've played, I'd let her watch TV while I sat with her on the couch and played on the Vita. Happy wife, happy life.

It's been a long time — too long, perhaps. Severed was the last time I picked up a Vita game at launch, and it's going on 12 months since I even turned the damn thing on. *Cue sad music*

Earlier today, actually. I'm slowly replaying Gravity Rush, which I never finished. I'll also probably switch back to TowerFall Ascension just for kicks. -

Just a few days ago for me since I've been working my way through VA-11 HALL-A. Prior to that though, I can't remember the last time I played a non-review title on it. If I'm playing a handheld device, it's probably my Switch or 3DS. Vita just doesn't have a good place in my rotation anymore. -

I honestly don't remember. I think over two years ago.
