Senran Kagura breast'em-up finally announced in English!
- Thread starter Candidus
- Start date
and I love that genre so yeah I'd be getting this even if people didn't feel offended by it 
That's all that has been announced at the moment, but I expect an EU release date will follow and that it'll be sometime in Q1 2014. If I'm wrong, I'll import it. I was planning to import Dragon's Crown when only the US release date was provided and nothing was being said about EU, so this'll be just the same.McMarbles said:
So its Dead or Alive: side scrolling underage edition? I defended Dragon's Crown, but this scares me. Like wouldn't let my younger sister near anyone who openly played it level of scares me. Gratz Escapist, I was right there in the crowd with you, laughing at people who said sexism was a problem in games and the gaming community, but you have convinced me of just how wrong I was.
Exactly! Of course, the gameplay seems to be the main thing that selling me at this point, in terms of actually buying it and showing it off to all of my friends (just like when I was the first to buy all of the US released Hyperdimension Neptunia games), but other than that...Keiichi Morisato said:
BOOBS IN 3D!!!!1111!!!1111!1!!! And this time, there all female... LOL
I thought it was a Japanese "side-scrolling boob-em-up brawler" that will get both an US release and then later an UK release...McMarbles said:
I guess I can't compare this game to Turtles in Time or The Simpsons arcade game, then... considering none of those games are "side-scrolling boober"s... just "side-scrolling beat-em-up"s...[footnote]This felt weird trying to reply to this with a serious face all the way through... so I didn't...[/footnote]
Gameplay looks meh. Although I have Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus on my Vita and that thing is much better - it's a 3D brawler, think Anarchy Reigns meets Naruto. With a bit of Dynasty Warriors flavor.
I have platinum trophy, but I really should go back and get some underwear I'm missing. You kinda want that underwear because that's basically costumes your characters are wearing while in "berserk" mode, called "Sudden Death". And like with many 3D brawlers berserk mode is the way to go. It's like activating god's hand in God Hand, only permanently.
In case you wondering, you win underwear by playing lottery. And this lottery is an extremely unfair money sink.
Sure, there's a lot of fanservice. And that scene where old sensei gropes.. Look, I'm not describing it here. In case you wondering their age, it's between 21 and 15.
But I kinda get how they got T rating. Granted, I've only played Vita game, but if 3DS game's naughtiness is on same level it means there's no full nudity, no sex, no blood or gore, no mention of drugs. So, technically it's T for teen...
P.S. I went and checked my Shinovi Versus box, but I have Asian version, not Japanese, and I can't tell what's the rating is.

There is a picture (I wont post here) that is just the lower half of a woman, with a pair of boobs just above the pubic bone ... the picture is entitled "the perfect woman".
Is this how most devs see woman? Then there boss says "at least give here a face!"
Is there a game with an all male cast of strippers 'cos I want to play it, just to balance myself out.
All the guys in games look the part but the woman are uniformly, beach wear. (okay, there are a handful of exceptions).
I know this argument has been raked over the coals a thousand times before but I'm only wasting my time.

Are there any videos that actually show the gameplay, what's been shown at the moment looks sparse, clunky, and boring. These types of games that focus on fan service above all else tend to have really shitty gameplay and not much else, the few that actually get localized though tend to be the better ones compared the majority of releases that stay in Japan, the digital only release should allow Xseed to at least probably turn a profit on the localization.
Still, even if the gameplay didn't look boring as hell, I doubt I could see myself playing something like this, as a 27 year old that works with kids and adolescents for a living, the idea of ogling 14 and younger girls in their panties, just seems extremely skeevy. Pretty much any western country tends to take a dim view of adults in relationships with minors even if the age of consent is low enough for the law to not get involved. Games like this seem to be targetted specifically to teenagers though so, eh whatever, I guess Xseed thinks there's enough of an audience in North America to make a profit.
Still, the people salivating over the PC police jumping all over this one are likely going to find themselves disappointed, the combination of sole focus on fanservice, obscure digital release, and lack of exposure means few people are going to care enough to say anything about this game. It's doubtful most sites are even going to review it much less dedicate controversy articles to it, a few crazy tumblr blogs might pick up on it though.

Oh, hey, I remember that thing. I got the first one on sale when I was in Japan because I needed something to play on the train and nothing else even potentially worth playing was in stock. It was a fairly decent brawler to kill time with, although more enemy and stage variety would have made it a lot better. I recall the story being inadvertently hilarious because it kept trying to have fairly grim ninja drama in the middle of all the brightly colored anime tits.
I probably won't buy the English release, but the fact that it's actually happening is silly enough to keep me giggling all day.
Anyway, the dude who made it has a hilarious Twitter, and would probably appreciate the phrase 'breast 'em up.'

Yeah, this is pretty much what I'm thinking. It's like, why would I pay for this... when there are so many h-games -exactly- like this, but also better and free? And I don't even play -those- anymore.Mr.K. said:
What on earth is going on in that second video? Its like He-Man except instead of shouting "by the power of Greyskull!" and getting a new outfit she shouts something else and gets an instant T&A upgrade, does the size of the boobs and bum on the characters in that game increase fighting ability or something?
