Out in Japan the 7th of August and I have done my research and the game is looking to be a major improvement over the previous game.

1) Tag team battle system - Use 2 characters which will allow for higher combo hits, combo ninja arts, and higher damage output. Depending on which two Characters you use together the intro cutscenes are also different.
2) Multiple weapons for each character to collect and equip, plus new weapon gem attachments that add stat improvements and different elemental attributes to your weapons.
3) Spirit Den - 100 rooms to complete must complete one room to move onto the next. You will only be allowed to transform once which will only allow you to heal once. 10 bosses placed throughout these rooms. By completing these rooms you will be able to acquire new and rare equipment and gem attachments.
4) Boss battles will have full 3D environments instead of the usual 2.5D environments during fights with regular enemies.
5) 2 male playable characters, which will also be treated exactly like the females (clothe destruction, etc.).
6) Tons more collectible outfits and accessories and improved bestiary.

XSeed has stated if Shinovi Versus does well there's a chance for this game to come over to NA too. Anyone else looking forward to it?

@mamp Good to know that the fanservice isn't limited to the girls.
Speaking of which, I honestly wonder how they would make the make character fanservicey.

Oh well. Yet another eShop purchase...

as much of a guilty pleasure as the first game was, please don't let this become a long running series

always thought I'd change to Gyarados after I turned 20 but hey, this is more fitting I guess. (also somebody registered under the original Magikarp name and I can't get back to it anymore orz)

@Jollykarp I don't know how long XSEED will keep publishing this in the west, but this will be a long-running series in Japan.

Think of it. It's a good game, and it has fanservice. Considering it's on 3DS, it's rather cheap to develop. Costs are low, so a niche may be enough to keep this game afloat.

Besides, they did say that Senran Kagura will be their fanservice series for the foreseeable future.

All of my yes. But I have a question, why does it matter if the Vita version sells well? This is on a different system, plus IIRC Senran Kagura Burst sold well enough.

@Shotgunryugan How about a way to gauge demand for the series? For all we know, Burst could've been a one-hit wonder. (Considering the reactions to this online, and all the publicity it's getting, whether good or bad, I'd say it'll sell.)

@TheWPCTraveler My problem with that is, that I don't have a Vita, so I can't support the franchise that way(And I'm guessing other fellow 3DS owners are on the same boat).

I think what they should do is release it on the 3DS, and see how well it does, if it doesn't do well then don't bother anymore, but if it does, then they'll know they have a solid fanbase on the 3DS.

That's just my opinion anyway.

@Shotgunryugan Well, as far as I know, they released SK on the 3DS for the fanservicey 3D effect. If the Vita games bomb, which I'd say is highly unlikely, they can always pin the blame on the low install base (and it's not as if it won't sell enough to turn a profit in Japan.)

Remember, we have the install base to matter and the fact that SK was initially built around the 3DS for the fanservice possibilities

@mamp The fanservice for him went really quickly lol, you can barely see his underwear.

@Blast I think most of them are still underage, which is why when Senran Kagura Burst was released to the US/UK they removed their ages entirely, to avoid issues.
Though this game introduces a character younger than any of them(Though I don't know if she'll be getting her clothes ripped).

Is it so freaking hard for some artists to just draw older characters when they wanna do fanservice stuff???? I appreciate the artists that do that. There's some Japanese artists that actually draw "desirable" characters as older people cuz they know drawing them younger is creepy.

I mean.... I'm over the age of 18 and whenever I see a fanservice young character... I can't help but turn away. When I was younger, it was fine cuz I was a kid.

Just stop with the "hot" young girl whose still in middle school or early highschool thing... Please stop....

From what I read she doesn't fight and she's some mystical being who's age is unknown (maybe they said 100yrs old I think), and is being protected for some reason.
