XSEED has confirmed it is bringing Senran Kagura Burst to the 3DS eShop later this year.
The sidescrolling action brawler has been available in Japan for a while and features five buxom high school ninjas, each with their own special ability, who train in a secret academy.
There are in fact two separate storylines in the game, which are told through a visual novel: Skirting Shadows introduces players to the "good shinobi" of Hanzō Academy, while Crimson Girls, tells the same tale from the perspective of the rival school.
One of the game mechanics that has made the game infamous is the way the ninjas lose clothing when they take damage, which is perhaps a little unnecessary. There's set to be plenty of combat to be had too, with retrieval missions, multi-character battles and large boss fights to be played along the way.
Meanwhile, the original Japanese voice-overs will remain but there will be English subtitles. Interestingly, the game has been rated T for Teen by the ESRB.
Senran Kagura Burst will be available in the eShop this Fall. Will you be downloading it? Let us know in the comment section below.

Everyone will be picking it up for the arcade style gameplay.
OMG.....im.... im in heaven... THANK YOU XSEED!!!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSS
I'm surprised this even managed to get a T still I'll wait for the reviews......
Senran Kagura BUST. Look at the picture. o.o
Anyway, I'm buying it!
sounds like my type of zany game
Looks cool!
No Way!! NO WAY!!!!!
AW COME ON!!! If there's a market for this there's an effin market for Medabots 7!!!
I browse NOJ's website pretty often, so I've known about this game's existence for some time, but I never thought it'd be something that would ever have a chance of making it west, lol.
Don't know if I'll get it or not. Depends on reviews, user opinions, price, and SD card space.
Buying in a heartbeat!
I got the 1st 3 exceed games + over 10 more games all for $7
http://www.indiegala.com/ look in there to get them all cheap.
YUS gettin this for sure
Yeah...no.
Is this an eShop game or retail?
its eshop only if anyone asks
I know it's ridiculous, but dammit I am so excited for this. It does look like a really fun game, and I'm glad something this "quirky" got the opportunity for localization. As with everything published by XSEED, this will be a day-1 buy for me. WOOO!!!
Side-scrolling arcade-style action brawler and XSeed? Yes, please.
if this is coming here now that means.. they loosened the belt a bit for niche games like this
Heck yes! I been dying to play this game.
Never thought my dreams of this being localized would come true, So pumped!! Can't wait to get my hands on this. Day 1 Download!!
Wow, never thought I'd see the day....wipes away tear
My debit card is ready.
ah, sounds excellent
You had me at buxom.
Xseed, that's all I needed to hear. Im buying this.
yayyyyyyy!!!! LOL anyways, after watching this anime I wanted a game really bad and finally my wish came true XD
One does not simply show other people when they play this game =.= "the characters loose clothing when they get hit".
If I want to buy this, it seems I'll have to secretly go at Walmart or Gamestop, to get a 3DS eShop credit card.
Oooh, sounds good. While the gameplay comes first (and I'm a big fan of action brawlers), I'm always up for some fanservice as long as it doesn't go too far, which the T rating confirms.
XSEED... Rising Star, bring it to Europe. BOXED!
Finally, now we can forget that awfully boring game called Code of Princess... This is an awsome "side-scrolling, beat em up" game series, I been playing both games on my japanese console... The Boxed versions are great, but I have no complaints... =)
Japanese voices and english subtitiles + not censored from the Japanese version = purchase.
Hmm, sounds trashy—yet intriguing.
Wow....um....lolnothx
Xseed, just do your job at localising RF4 already.
Sounds fun and funny. Now to see if it's solid and a reasonable price.
Awesome, so we will see this in the european eShop....I see...
Well I own the game physically and I can assure you if they don't fix the frame rate.... It's honestly not that fantastic of a game.. It's barley even in 3D!
OH!!! MY!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!
Woohoo!
@Coldfirex44
It's going to be an eShop release like Unchained Blades.
@Koto I missed typing "to buy a Nintendo 3DS eShop credit card" :3 lol
@Placlu @Placlu I don't really care about the graphics.. it's the gameplay and the experience that I'm excited for, lol.
@Coldfirex44
Ah, well, no one has to know what you'll be doing with it right?
@Koto dont we all know what we'll be doing with it? (wait.. do u mean the credit card or the game? Lol)
Well, if it has a reasonable price then perhaps. Honestly I would get it for the gameplay first. The uh fan service is a nice bonus, but if the gameplay sucks then there's no point. However, Im definitely looking forward to the review for this.
@Coldfirex44
The card lol
@Koto oh XD lol ok, o3o
Shhhhhh (>O-O)>
I'm in the 'if the price is right' camp.
I saw a review that said the gameplay is good for a brawler and that there are lots of unlockables.
Also, it looks jiggle-tastic!
Don't forget about the UK please...
@EdJericho
Some people have said the plot is so robust it just bounces right off the screen...
Becarefull on the fanservice the game! where you can beat females up, until they get naked. what GREAT concept for a game but, might be odd to play outside...
I'm getting it!
@Retro_on_theGo I feel your pain buddy . We want Medabots!
What an amazing announcement! I really hope they release this in PAL territories...
Well this day have been nothing but surprises for me. Never thought this would get release oversea due to the theme. This have peak my interest
I've been looking for a good visual novel for some time, so when you review it, please make note of the story as well.
I'm glad this is Nintendo, the family entertainment company. Had this been on Xbox or PS4, who knows what kind of rating it'll get?
YES!! Oh yes!!
Okay, I was actually still interested in this even after hearing about the whole taking-damage thing.
Then I watched the video Windy linked to (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UTAHsL6kcQ).
I'm sorry... look at the size of the breasts on those poor girls... the game just lost all credibility to me. Not only is it completely distracting and unnecessary, but quite frankly it also just makes all the characters look deformed and ugly. Sigh...
Whelp, playing this game in my bedroom with the door locked.
@EdJericho You gotta love the plot XD
Rated T for teen!
you guys have clears throat XSEEDED my expectations
I hope Europe doesn't get left out..
Really happy this is coming out here, especially after XSEED gave reasons why it would NOT be coming out here. The T rating is a bit worrisome; is XSEED doing some censorship, or is T really all it needs, when the two Corpse Party games that came here got M ratings, though I know the horror, gore, and violence certainly contributed to the ratings with those ones, having played them both myself?
Europe :< plz </3 ..... I really hate region locking. ; _ ; </3
EUROPEEEEEEEEEEE! We want it too!
Very cool! I'll get it!
@1upsuper Well, it's not like there's any nudity in it. There's a limit to the amount of clothing damage the girls take.
@Wowfunhappy
It seems we are the minority buddy :/
@Trainer_DJ
ok did someone edit my post? I didn't sau anything that wasn't already said. I was also careful not to use too explicit language. Or is this just me?
I'm getting it to look at the... Plot. Yeah. Plot. The music looks, uh sounds good too.
Hah, awesome. Totally supporting this. I suppose this is as close as America is ever going to get to a localized Ikki Tousen video game.
@WinterWarm,
Yeah, they truly burst! Lol!
@Ralizah
Actually, no. Ikki Tousen doesn't hold a candle against Senran Kagura.
Not only does SK have MUCH better fanservice, but also a really well-written story, something that is irritatingly absent in Ikki Tousen.
heck yes! xseed ftw!
@Coldfirex44
Great truth you speak. I have a feeling I'll be mysteriously horrible at this game.
Lol, I'm going to need a bigger SD Card. Or sacrifice some demos. :/
Counting the days...
i'm eagerly awaiting the story and exciting "gameplay"
