Can't fool us ESRB!

PC was also listed in the rating before it was changed back to PS4-only, so you can count on that happening as well.

I think it's coming on March 17th, but I'm not 100% certain if it's the Switch version's date, or the DLC that may or may not be coming to PS4? Only the Switch port is super clear in the title.

Edit: Well the price shows 8360 yen, surely that's the Switch port then.

So... Is the fighting more nep or senran? I saw some gameplay and it doesn't look nearly as fun or fast as senran.

I think it's a Warriors-esc game, not unlike the Vita SK spin-offs. Didn't Neptunia get its own equivalent spin-off once?

it's by Tamsoft who worked on most SK games and a few Nep spin-offs IIRC. They have a lot of Switch experience (like the Captain Tsubasa game for one), so this felt super likely. I guess Takaki's departure helped enable this to happen. :P

They never even attempted to make those Senran Kagura games any better than they were (completely setting aside the wanton blatent underaged sexuality issues the game has) huh?

Pass.

Also note that the game is CERO C for the Switch version, which means that is not censored (expressions) like the PS4 one

The PS4 version is also rated C:

Can they just port over the Vita games instead?

Plus Valkyrie Drive. I ALWAYS see folks begging PQube for a Switch port anytime they tweet about it. Almost like there's an audience. :P

It's weird as they likely were the ones to convince Idea Factory to port Gun Gun Pixies to Switch. Maybe Marvelous, of all companies, are a harder nut to crack.

Better late than never, I guess. Especially now that the old producer isn't there to impede

It just came to my attention that Karasu no Goh from Shinobido is making a cameo in this game and I would like Shinobido Heart to share my pain.

Karasu no Goh from Shinobido Imashime (PS2):

New Shinobido game never.

 

[Otakunofuji]

This game was disappointing for me. It's like 80% Neptunia, 20% Senran Kagura, which isn't what I wanted at all. It also isn't a Warriors-style musou game like the normal SK games, either. There aren't ever all that many enemies around at a time and the combat is way more simple than the SK games. There also aren't all that many playable characters. It's OK, I guess, but not what I wanted (which was a new Senran Kagura).

 

[Efejota]

I wonder if they'll ever do another Senran Kagura sidescroller. The 3ds games were quite fun.

It says "Melon" on the scarf, by the way.

Uh, weird that they'd need to do a genderbend for the redesign, and the hair choice. I thought Senran had some male characters.

no one plays Senran Kagura for male characters, which is why there were so few and why they seemingly disappeared

My god that looks awful!

Never in the playable cast, pretty sure.

I think the fact that there's few of them makes them feel more special, tbh. Same with the older characters in general: I really liked unlocking Daidouji.

I remember seeing this awhile back and thinking to myself, "Why?". It's probably one of the most out of place crossovers I've ever seen.

Luckily, I have a copy of Shinobido Imashime and Shinobido Takumi that I play on PCSX2, so the pain doesn't hurt me too much. :P

 

[Tohsaka]

I was pretty disappointed with this game. It's really short, like 10 hours or something and all the sidequests are super repetitive.

Murasame was playable in SK2, although that game selling less than SV probably killed the side-scrolling series and SK's presence in Nintendo consoles in general.
