PCR JP Server Drops a 'WeChat-Style Trash Game' Mini-Event — OP Gets Absolutely Destroyed in Comments for Calling It Drama

Want to start drama on NGA? Better make sure you actually have something juicy. A Princess Connect Re:Dive (PCR) Japan server event just dropped with a mini-game attached, and the OP's attempt to farm outrage was immediately met with a tidal wave of pushback from the entire forum.

Here's what happened: PCR's JP server launched a new event featuring a mini-game that looks suspiciously like those braindead mobile ads flooding Bilibili — you know, the 'pick the right path for 3 stick figures to survive' type of brainrot. The OP screenshotted it and posted with the tagline 'WeChat trash mini-game,' clearly hoping to start a flame war.

But the comment section absolutely refused to follow the script. One highly upvoted reply bluntly stated: 'How is this even gossip? WeChat mini-games exist solely to annoy you into watching ads. PCR just regularly drops mini-games — the devs even said in interviews that these are periodic training projects for the team.' Another player went nuclear: 'OP, is your brain okay? This is literally a 4399 browser game. Do you have beef with PCR? Why are you making a mountain out of this molehill?'

That said, some players did come to the mini-game's defense. One pointed out these games are actually massively popular overseas, 'consistently ranking high on the US App Store charts.' Others recommended searching for 'miku train' to experience similar gameplay. Another comment noted Korean mobile games use the same '3 figures dodging obstacles forward / fighting zombies backward' format and even topped the Honkai: Star Rail on the revenue charts. So while Chinese players might look down on this genre, it clearly has a real global audience.

The real gold, though, was the veteran player nostalgia trip. Someone dredged up PCR's old baseball mini-game and called it 'even more braindead,' while another admitted 'I actually tried to min-score the Mama Runner event.' Clearly, mini-games are PCR's signature move at this point. But the most unsettling comment came from the final reply: 'Wait... what if they're using these as practice runs for something bigger? Please no!' — hinting that Cygames might be using PCR events as a testing ground to build expertise for standalone mini-game products down the line.

Bottom line: the OP tried to ride the Bilibili trash-game meme for clout, and the entire comment section collectively said 'that's it?' Mini-games are standard PCR fare, and they're apparently a hit overseas. The only real question left is — what exactly is Cygames training for?
