Synthesized from 11 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 6

NBA Dunk City launched on August 6, 2026, for iOS and Android. NetEase Games developed and released the free-to-play 3-on-3 street basketball game, which carries official licenses for all 30 NBA teams. The roster includes more than 40 real players, among them Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Japan's Yuki Kawamura.

The game introduces an original character named Aila, voiced by Ten Aoi, whose costumes and animations are a central draw. Preview coverage from Automaton and Inside highlights the 11-point match mode, where two teams of three compete on a half-court for three minutes, with the first to 11 points winning. Additional modes include Championship ranked matches, Dynasty Mode, 5-on-5 full-court battles, and custom modes for 1-on-1 and 3-on-3 play.

Monetization includes a gacha system called Surprise Box, which provides new players, costumes, and development materials, plus a shoe customization feature. The developers told Inside that the game avoids a pay-to-win design, with paid items mainly streamlining development and offering costumes.

NVIDIA DLSS 5 Debuts in NBA 2K27 After Early Access Leak

NVIDIA announced on September 1 that DLSS 5, its AI-driven rendering technology, will launch on September 3 Pacific Time and debut in the PC version of NBA 2K27, which goes on sale September 4 Japan time. The technology, first detailed at GTC in March and expanded at gamescom 2026, introduces 3D-Guided Neural Rendering, which uses AI to add photorealistic lighting and material detail to frames rendered by the game engine. It is available on GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs and GeForce NOW. The release follows a controversy in March when a demo video showed original graphics being transformed, and an early access version of NBA 2K27 on August 26 contained files for the technology, leading users to apply it to games like Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA V. NVIDIA states that in officially supported titles, artists control the scope and intensity of the effect, and that whether to make images more realistic is a creative decision. Visual Concepts Senior Producer Peter Kavic said the technology improves material and lighting quality while allowing control to match existing art direction.

Demonbane's Al Azif Joins Good Smile Company's PLAMATEA Line

Good Smile Company has announced a PLAMATEA movable plastic model of Al Azif, the girl-form grimoire from the visual novel Demonbane. The kit is scheduled for release in April 2027 and priced at 8,800 yen including tax. Al Azif stands approximately 140mm tall and is a non-scale assembly model. The figure uses molded colors and pre-painted parts so that assembly alone achieves a color scheme close to the character's image. It includes one pre-painted face part and two types of decals for choosing eye directions. The ribbons and frills of the outfit are precisely reproduced, and joints throughout the body allow for various poses. A base with a movable support is included for action poses. By rearranging the head, the state of wearing the 'Almet' can be reproduced. Weapon parts include two gun-type magical ceremonial tools that manipulate the powers of the Old Dominators 'Cthugha' and 'Itakua', plus the slashing and throwing weapon 'Balzai's Crescent Blade'. The model is designed by POLY-TOYS with production cooperation from Hidetsugu Nishibe.

Nijisanji VTubers Host Relay Commentary for Street Fighter USA Anime

Dwango announced on July 27 that four Nijisanji VTubers will host a four-week relay live commentary for the TV anime Street Fighter USA on Nico Nico Live. The program, titled 'Nijisanji × Anime Street Fighter USA All 26 Episodes Relay Live Commentary,' runs from September 17 to October 8, 2026, every Thursday at 20:00. The participants are Hyakumantenbara Salome (episodes 1-7), Kuzuha (episodes 8-13), Iha Rai (episodes 14-19), and Saeki Ittetsu (episodes 20-26). All four are known for playing Street Fighter 6, with Kuzuha reaching Ultimate Master rank and Iha Rai at High Master. Street Fighter USA aired in the US in the 1990s and was long considered a 'phantom title' in Japan because it was never broadcast or released on home video there; it became available on streaming services in 2021. The VTubers will watch the series fresh, without prior viewing or information. The broadcast will show the anime footage alongside the VTubers' reactions on one screen. A follow-and-repost campaign on the Nico Nico VTuber official X account offers prizes. Kuzuha commented that he wants to learn character matchups by watching the anime to raise his rank.
