There has been a ton of spin offs within the Neptune universe, but for the first time ever the girls will be teaming up with developer’s own set of characters. This team of new girls are called SEGA Hard Girls. This new spin off game, developed exclusive for the Vita is called Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls. The plot for this new spin off/crossover is the following:
“Our story begins in the mysterious halls of an ancient library…The Grand Library holds the history of the world within its shelves. Legend says that if one was to tamper with the books kept there, the past itself could be completely rewritten… A daring adventurer known as IF discovered the location of this revered library and finally crossed its threshold. Little did she know, a disaster of historical proportions was about to occur before her very eyes. Books began to vanish from the library’s shelves; the history of the world was disappearing before her and the reasons for this occurrence were shrouded in mystery.
IF sets out on a journey across time to uncover the truth! Will she be able to work together with both the Sega Hard Girls and Goddesses to recover the lost history? Will they really be able to save the world?”
That and Neptune gets turned into a motorcycle for Iffy to ride on. So we know that Iffy and the rest of the Neptunia girls will be coming back, but who are the SEGA Hard Girls? They are, as stated in the press release, “A collaboration project between ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki Bunko and SEGA, the Sega Hard Girls are made up of various Sega consoles, including the Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, and Mega Drive.” If you want to see more of the Sega Hard Girls, check out the anime, Hi☆sCoool!
