Hyper Dimension Game Neptune, a new PS3 RPG revealed in Famitsu magazine, puts players in the role of a personified video game console in the fight against piracy. Neptune is a fictional video game console turned into a girl, on a quest to defeat the "Goddess Majicon" -- "Majicon" being the Japanese term for DS flash carts like the R4.
The concept calls to mind not only the "
Console-tan" or "
OS-tan" meme, in which computer operating systems and video game consoles are drawn as anime-style girls, but also Sega's utterly bizarre Dreamcast game
Segagaga, in which Sega characters live and work at Sega -- a game that ends with a
battle against flying Sega consoles. It's worth noting that "
Neptune" was also the name of a proposed Genesis/32X console.
