Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus Goes for the Jugular Next Month

Bursting with goodness

by Sammy Barker Fri 19th Sep 2014

You’ll find more wobbling in PlayStation Vita exclusive Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus’ launch trailer than on a plate of jelly, but beneath all of the titillation appears to be an amusing action game. The spiritual successor to the somewhat divisive side scroller Senran Kagura Burst, this portable escapade appears to share similarities with the Dynasty Warriors series, packing the screen with more peons than we care to count.

The full game – which is due out on 14th October in North America and 15th October in Europe – features four factions for you to fight as, in addition to a four player online battle mode. And unlike recent Vita releases of this type, there’ll be a physical edition in the United States featuring an art book, strategy guide, and compact disc. Will you be loosening your collar for this hot and heavy affair? Let it all hang out in the comments section below.

That image is shameless and really cringe.
I wonder if they'll make some more weird commercials.

@Jazzer94 I picked it for that exact reason. These stories write themselves!

(This commercial is amazing.)

I do get a bit tired of the shamelessness often found in Japanese anime/manga like in the article's picture. Sure, it's a bit risky for a reason, but at the same time, it loses much of its appeal if everything under the sun is doing it.

@get2sammyb 3DS game wasn't too bad actually, turned out to be a decent beat em up but the developer and publisher certainly like to make risky decisions for commercials and promotional material when the actual game isn't as extreme. Though it clearly works as the 3DS game would have flown right under my radar if not for the ONM and NL articles.

the boxart being a prime example.
