DOKI! DOKI! Anime Market Is Back at Suntec This Weekend

Singapore anime fans, your weekend plans just got a whole lot better. DOKI! DOKI! Anime Market is back at Suntec this Saturday and Sunday, 6–7 June 2026 — and if previous editions are anything to go by, Hall 405 is going to be packed with fans, independent artists, and art you won’t find anywhere else.

What Is DOKI! DOKI! Anime Market Singapore?

DOKI! DOKI! Anime Market (DDAM) is an anime convention with a singular focus: the artist alley. While mainstream conventions load up on big-brand booths, DDAM puts independent creators front and centre — artists who pour genuine passion into original and fan-made prints, keychains, acrylic standees, and handmade goods.

The team behind DDAM describe themselves as “artists, merch hoarders, weebs, and cosplayers” — which means they know exactly what fans want to browse, and exactly what artists need from an event. The result is one of the most intimate and genuinely fan-driven events on Singapore’s ACG calendar.

What to Expect at DOKI! DOKI! 2026

This year’s edition fills Hall 405 at Suntec with hundreds of specially curated artist booths. Organisers hand-pick participants to cover as many fandoms as possible with minimal repetition, so whether you’re hunting for Genshin Impact art, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint (ORV) prints, classic Trigun fan goods, or something from a niche fandom you thought no one else cared about — chances are you’ll find it here.

A few highlights to look out for:

  • Singapore’s first anime illustration auction house — DDAM is debuting a live-auction format for original anime artwork, a genuine first for Singapore.
  • Anti-AI and anti-theft policies — All booths are vetted, so every piece of art you buy is legitimately creator-owned and made by hand.
  • Curated booth layout — Artists can select their neighbours, helping build thematic clusters so browsing feels cohesive rather than random.

Event Details and How to Get Tickets

  • Dates: Saturday 6 June & Sunday 7 June 2026
  • Hours: 11:00 am – 8:00 pm (both days)
  • Venue: Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, Hall 405, Level 4, 1 Raffles Boulevard, Singapore 039593
  • Tickets: From S$12 via Eventbrite

Grab your tickets online beforehand — door queues at popular anime markets here can stretch well past opening time, and a pre-bought ticket gets you straight in.

Also Happening This Saturday: Cos Haven at *SCAPE

Making a full-day outing of it? Cos Haven runs concurrently on Saturday 6 June at *SCAPE (6 Orchard Road), 11am–8pm, with free admission. It’s a short MRT hop from Suntec, so you can hit both in one packed day of ACG goodness.

What This Means for Singapore Anime and Cosplay Fans

DOKI! DOKI! has become one of the most beloved grassroots ACG events in Singapore. It’s not about corporate presence or big-publisher booths — it’s about independent creators getting a real platform, and fans connecting directly with the people who make the art they love. If you’ve been sleeping on DDAM, this weekend is the time to show up.

Follow @dokidokianimemarket on Instagram for the booth map and last-minute updates. We’ll see you at Suntec.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Nintendo Switch 2 launch trailer banner

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Hits Nintendo Switch 2 on 3 June

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth — Square Enix’s sprawling second chapter in the FF7 remake trilogy — hits Nintendo Switch 2 this Wednesday, 3 June 2026. And for fans in this region: a physical edition has been confirmed for Southeast Asia, which means local game shops here will have box copies from launch day.

What Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth?

Rebirth is the second entry in Square Enix’s multi-part reimagining of the 1997 PlayStation classic. Following 2020’s Final Fantasy VII Remake and the Intergrade update, Rebirth picks up after Cloud and his allies escape the walls of Midgar and expands into a vast open world — the Grasslands, Junon, the Gold Saucer, and beyond. It was critically acclaimed on PlayStation 5 at its February 2024 launch, and Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S players are finally getting their turn.

Nintendo Switch 2 Version: What You Need to Know

The Switch 2 port is expected to run at 1080p and 30fps in docked mode, using Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology built into the console. Rebirth is one of the most demanding RPGs Square Enix has produced, so DLSS is doing some heavy lifting here — but the results should be solid based on what’s been previewed so far.

All purchasers at launch receive three in-game bonuses:

  • Posh Chocobo Summoning Materia
  • Shinra Bangle Mk. II armour
  • Midgar Bangle Mk. II armour

Physical Switch 2 Edition — And That Exclusive MTG Card

The physical Switch 2 copy comes with something no other platform or format offers: an exclusive Magic: The Gathering — Final Fantasy promo card featuring Zack Fair, with variant art by none other than Final Fantasy character designer Tetsuya Nomura. Stock is limited, so if you want the card, don’t sit on this one.

There’s also a save-data bonus for returning players: if you have Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade save data on your Switch 2, you’ll receive the Leviathan Summoning Materia. Clear the INTERmission DLC and you’ll also unlock Ramuh materia — a nice nudge to play Intergrade first if you haven’t already.

New: Streamlined Progression Mode

The Switch 2 (and Xbox) version introduces Streamlined Progression, an optional mode that gives Cloud’s party unlimited HP, MP, and Limit Break and ATB gauge during battles, along with simplified weapon ability acquisition. It keeps the RPG DNA intact — damage is still capped at 9,999 — but removes most of the grind, making Rebirth far more accessible for players who want to experience the story without getting stuck on combat.

Veterans can ignore it entirely. But for those who bounced off the difficulty on PS5 or are new to the series, this is a genuinely useful addition.

Editions and Pricing

Two digital editions are available on the Nintendo eShop:

  • Standard Edition — USD $49.99 (SGD retail price to be confirmed at local stores; other major Switch 2 titles retail around SGD $79–$110 locally)
  • Digital Deluxe Edition — USD $69.99 — adds the Magic Pot Summoning Materia, Reclaimant Choker accessory, Orchid Bracelet armour, a digital art book, and a digital mini soundtrack

Not ready to commit? A free demo is already live on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop, letting you sample the opening chapters of Rebirth before purchasing.

What This Means for Singapore Gamers

The Nintendo Switch 2 has gained a solid foothold in Singapore since its launch, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is shaping up to be one of the biggest RPG releases on the platform this year. The confirmed SEA physical edition means local retailers here won’t be empty-handed — you can grab a box copy from your nearest game shop rather than importing.

SGD retail pricing had not been confirmed at the time of writing; check with your local game retailer or the Nintendo eShop Singapore for the final figure. And if you’ve already put hours into Rebirth on PS5, that exclusive Tetsuya Nomura MTG card might still be enough to tempt a double-dip on Switch 2.

Creators Super Fest CSF26 Singapore 2026 key visual

CSF26: Creators Super Fest Singapore Returns in July

If you’re a cosplayer, artist, or ACG content creator in Singapore, mark 11–12 July in your calendar right now. Creators Super Fest 2026 (CSF26) is returning to Suntec — and applications for the Cosplay Hub are already open.

What Is Creators Super Fest (CSF)?

Creators Super Fest is an annual ACG creators festival organised by the team behind Anime Festival Asia (AFA). Unlike AFA’s flagship November event — which centres on big-stage concerts and official brand experiences — CSF puts the spotlight squarely on creators: artists, cosplayers, illustrators, and content makers who form the backbone of the ACG community in Singapore and across the region.

CSF26 takes over Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, Halls 403–405, on the weekend of 11–12 July 2026.

What’s On at CSF26

The festival is built around four core pillars, each catering to a different part of the creator and fan community.

Creators Hub

Independent artists and illustrators take over a dedicated exhibition zone, giving fans direct access to original ACG-inspired artwork, prints, and merchandise. If you’ve ever wanted to buy directly from the artist rather than a reseller, this is the place.

Cosplay Hub

Cosplayers from Singapore and across the region showcase their work on a dedicated stage. The headline event is the Cosplay Singles Competition, where contestants display their costume craftsmanship and performance for a judging panel — with cash prizes on the line. Cosplay applications are open now (more details below).

Creators Lab

This is the knowledge-sharing heart of CSF: experienced creators lead workshops and panel sessions covering everything from illustration technique and character design to growing an audience online. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to level up, there’s something here.

Stage Performances

Live acts and performances round out the programme throughout both days, keeping the energy high on the main stage.

What This Means for Singapore Cosplayers and ACG Creators

CSF fills a real gap in Singapore’s events calendar: it’s a dedicated space for creators and fans to engage beyond just browsing stalls. Whether you’re entering the cosplay competition, attending a craft workshop, or picking up original prints from the Creators Hub, there’s genuine value for every part of the ACG community.

With AFA’s organisation behind it and regional cosplayers participating, CSF26 is shaping up to be one of the bigger community moments before the main AFA event in November. Follow @animefestasia on Instagram for lineup announcements and ticket details as they drop.
