Senran Kagura breast'em-up finally announced in English!

[Strain42]

Well I think it's time for me to get out the big yellow legal pad and make myself a pros and cons list for this title

Pro: Big ol' 3D jiggling boobies, Yay!
Con: I'm actually slightly disgusted that a game is so lusted after by fans because of that...

Pro: I've been told that fanservice aside, the gameplay is actually pretty fun
Con: The people who tell me this are people who tend to like other titles that I do not consider fun.

Pro: It would be another game for me to get on my 3DS
Con: What with Dual Destinies, Pokemon X/Y, Rune Factory 4, Hometown Story, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, and probably more I'm forgetting coming up, and with me still fulfilling my daily obligations to Animal Crossing, on top of an already quite large backlog of 3DS games I need to get through am I really concerned about new titles right now?

Pro: Buying it could be a way of showing support for titles like this, encouraging publishers to take more risks on smaller titles in the future.
Con: Buying it could be a way of showing support for titles like THIS, encouraging publishers to take more risks on smaller titles in the future.

Hmm...I'm honestly not sure where I stand on this title.

Is there yuri in it? Please say it is!

To bad I don't like side scrollers T__T

There's a pretty good anime adaptation. The anime adaptation has more than a few yuri scenes.

The scenes available in the games differ from one to another of course, and as I haven't yet played this one, I won't be able to tell you much. Canonically, certain girls have an interest in certain other girls, and in the past there have been very suggestive dialogues when one meets and beats the other into submission.

Beyond that.. I guess we'll find out in the fall!

 

[WindKnight]

Oh this is going to go over well.
/sarcasm
I have to ask though, why do they have to have boobs the size of beach balls? I fail to see the attraction of that.

Not everybody realises that bigger does not always equal better, especially If their age (or targeted age) is in the teens. Check out Cattleya from queens blade if you want another example. or Don't, your probably happier that way.

Not sure what else I can say about this... as an anime fan, I have to admit there are some things that really should stay in Japan, as the foreign market isn't really the place for them. At least Dragons Crown had the unique art style going for it as opposed to just being a boob fest.

They... don't realise?

Those deviants should all go to Christian lead make-you-not-like-big-boobs camps for re-education on what is good and attractive... and stuff.

Why isn't the western market a place for boob-fests?

Because a lot of people over here seem to think that being totally open and enthusiastic about fanservice makes you adolescent minded? Do those people think that reducing their expressed enthusiasm for fanservice (whatever the level of their actual enthusiasm) is somehow beneficial to their own image? I don't even know how to address a bad joke like that. Or beneficial to women? Same comment.

With regard to all that as it applies to me, well... How people I don't know, the quality of whose judgement I don't trust feel about my honest enthusiasm for breasts and backsides is no concern of mine. But really, for the record, I'm 27 with the mind of a 27 year old. Egads.

It's just my opinion, but boob-fest media, be it games or movies or whatever-haveyous, ought to ship wherever there are people who'd appreciate it. And by that I mean wherever there are people, period.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

I'm not sure what we're meant to be discussing here. I mean it's nice that fans of this ecchi series are getting an official translation of the game but otherwise I don't really see a big deal about this. The anime/manga are pretty much standard affair for ecchi stuff aside from the odd moments of fan disservice but that was all I noticed about it.

 

[Norithics]

This thing looks hilarious. They bounce like they're on the Moon!
I hope the voice acting is super cheesy!
A must buy.

 

[Adeptus Aspartem]

Typical anime stuff.

People who go apeshit about that in this thread obviously haven't had a look on the anime/manga scene in the last decade.
"It's like that and that's the way it is... HUA!"

Jeah they look young, but they always do. I don't get the fuss.. it's just pixels <.<

 

[Candidus]

It's just a thread for those who feel that this is a reason for them to be enthused, to enthuse! With those who are also enthused.

Those who aren't enthused are also welcome! The regular beat of palm on forehead is quite catchy.

Yeah that's pretty horrendous, but if I remember right everyone on Queen's Blade had big boobs. Well except for that elven girl.

 

[Rebel_Raven]

On one hand, I'm pretty happy they're doing something this brave. I've looked up gameplay. Seems fun, but has potential for controvercy.
And a rare game where all enemies are women, including fodder.

On the other hand, effing A! Why are these interesting games on hand helds and not consoles? I'm gunna have to get handhelds.

 

[Shia-Neko-Chan]

Welp, I know what I'm buying. :3

 

[Shia-Neko-Chan]

Already own the more lewd version of Shinovi Versus I imported for my vita. But nice to see 3ds owners getting a localisation since they can't import from japan.

Anyway, tits= life, ass= hometown etc etc...

I almost forgot about that version of the game...

Actually that one's better. I should get a vita. x_x

Edit: Wait a minute! NO! I JUST REALIZED! THE VOICES ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE IN ENGLISH!

=_=

Well, so you can play it with other people in the house without getting any funny looks. ;D

Yeah, but I want console versions for when I have privacy! XD
I have an earphone jack on my TV for a reason! lol Though, seriously, an earphone jack on the TV is pretty awesome in general. I don't think i'll ever get a TV without one if I can help it. Real easy to not disturb other people no matter what's on TV.

But it's not just that, I mean Assassin's Creed: Liberation, Style Savvy, Gravity Rush, nearly everything pokemon (The core games, and conquest), and so forth.

 

[coates32]

Even though this game is not my cup of tea (most of the characters are too busty, even for me), I'm glad that the fans will be able to enjoy this game. Hopefully, one of the Senran Kagura games will eventually get a physical release.

Edit: Wait a minute! NO! I JUST REALIZED! THE VOICES ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE IN ENGLISH!

=_=

Unfortunately, XSEED said that the game will only have Japanese voices with English subs.

 

[Lieju]

Luckily, something has prompted XSEED to flip the haters- who knows what? I won't look a gift horse in the mouth, I'll just grab a 3DS and a few copies of the EU release to show my support.

Probably what any company does, they looked at the situation and thought they could get more money out of it than they'd need to spend.

I'd like to see more of this kind of stuff. Niche japanese titles getting releases, I mean. I don't need full voice-acting and stuff, subtitles are fine.

This particular game, though. Can't say it would have been great loss if it didn't get that treatment. I mean, if you wanted it, you could have just played the Japanese version, since the boobs (which are the main selling point to you) can be enjoyed even if you can't tell what they're saying.

Even gameplay, if that's a selling point to anyone with this, doesn't suffer too much for the language barrier. I have imported several Japanese fighting games, even before I knew the language.

I don't agree, I have tried importin games in Japanese and, ugh I just have to know what's the story, as crappy as it may be I need to know it.

I'll have to buy a 3ds DAMIT!, wait is the PSP Vita one coming to america too? that one seems better, anyway im buying the game xD.

BTW I kind of feel like it´s taking advantage from the whole Dragon Crown deal ( Game wich I love) , you know any publicity is good.

 

[verdant monkai]

XSEED will deliver its busty beat'em-up in the form of a download-only 3DS title to North America in the fall of this year. An EU release date is expected to follow for some time in 2014.

Looks like I'm buying a 3DS!

You are a genuine hero mate! you actually mentioned a European release date! seriously thank you.

I need this in my 3DS NOW...... I mean... I'm really offended by all these boobs.
