Video: Experience The Acute Embarrassment Of Owning A Physical Copy of Senran Kagura Burst

Why are hey making out it's like porn lol
when he goes to the game shop it's like he is going into a porn store or something get over it grow up. Gta v has hooker and lap dancers.
Go with game shop to rip people off and take money and don't send the game it's happened 3 times to me i never go to shop to.

@noctowl Feel the Magic was one of my favorites on the DS! I especially liked what happened to the title screen when you changed the game's language to Japanese...

Lol they are really pushing this game with the marketing, good job. Still not sure if i want to get it, the action looks cool but i hate fan service.

What the hell? Are those serious advertisements?!

Seriously, Pqube, don't reassure the negative viewpoint with these kinds of signals! This will only cause even more outrage from people who abuse this game to badmouth gaming business!

_{Please, let's not with the insults — TBD}
EDIT: sorry about that, didn't realize what I wrote there...

And my interest has dwindled from apathy to disgust....

I like how they can mock themselves with these trailers, tells me that the developers have a good sense of humour!

that's ok when it came in the post I told my missus that it was a beat em up with lots of panty and t**y shots and you know what she said

"can I have a go later"

Some of the funniest video game adverts ever!

BWHAHAHAHAAHAHA WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have a rather good sense of humor, I can definitely go beyond that. I hope all this works for them in the end and the game manages to turn them a profit. As for me, I am not really concerned about it being eshop only in America, it was still worth it without the boxart.

I haven't seen the other ones yet, but that Japanese VO is a bit irritating.

Maybe. This is already on my "Maybe" buy list.

LOL! There's no way in heck I'd buy this game. BUt there's ust no denying the funniness of the advertisements

@Emblem Is what Double Dragon Neon does fan service ? (Think it is the same sort of thing but just what I find amusing/like).

Dont even need to watch that 2nd video, crumpled up tissues under the bed says it all. And what I'm assuming is a skin mag.

What's up with the dude having a bra under his bed?

lol what the xD
awesome spots! xD
i just dont understand why it should be a Embarrassment to buy or have it... i cant wait until my version arrives so i finally can beat my way through the game x)

I love the 2nd advert for the game. The mom doesn't mine leftover food, woman bra, used tissues and questionable magazine when cleaning your room, but she'll kick you out for having a game with that boxart. My mom would only be upset with the leftover food drawing in pests

@Kaze_Memaryu "What the hell? Are those serious advertisements?!

Come on, man.... No. It's making fun of the people that might take it seriously. (@Pichubby for example)

Funny ads, lame slogan.

Pwahahaha! I'd actually have no problem buying a physical copy in a store. Anything to avoid spending too much money on the eShop for a single game, since Ninty still doesn't have a damned account system.

Amazing commercials (adverts?). They're only enhancing my love for this franchise.

What's the name of the catchy tune always playing in the EU promotional videos?

I'd still buy the physical copy if I had a choice.

Also these ads are awesome.

Haha! I'm not sure if I want this game or not. And it's not because of the sex appeal either. I haven't had a beat 'em up in a while and the art style to the game seems pretty great.

Funny ads, though. Absolutely hilarious.

You might say this poor bloke's been...

...busted.

@mr570 well I'm not sure how much you know but when a man and woman loves each other things tend to happen

One thing I will say it says the box art is just plain bad. Why couldn't they use the original Japanese box art?

@mr570 you never had a girl over? Oo

@SamirMalik

http://www.p4rgaming.com/marvelous-aql-using-anything-except-breasts-to-advertise-senran-kagura-would-be-false-advertising/

I'll just stick with fan service anime, thanks. :3

@mr570 Thats the result of having a girl stay over.

@DarkKirby the original box still has the girls hold their chest up with their crossed arms. I think that is good enough to tell you about the game. The European box however it just goes a bit too far and tells you something that is most likely not even present within the game. I mean look at the box art. It looks like that she is trying to have sex with that scroll! I know that the girls look sexually silly but that box goes into pure p**n territory

best Videogame ads in the recent years!

It's a little bit...*boing

oh and not to say a mother finding her son is a perv is better than a mother finding out he likes ponies

Haha, Damo loves writing Senran Kagura Burst articles. This is like the 8th one he's done personally.

@GuSilverFlame Probably depends on the mother. (Mine wanted girls and got three straight boys. She wouldn't have minded a gay one I don't think).

Haha, I love the first one.

@GuSilverFlame Careful, we don't want that kind of discussion here, do we? Could escalate into really nasty directions (my mom knows I like MLP, she's just irritated because she doesn't like it).

Shame in buying this? @SheldonRandoms would glady buy a pysical copy if it was here in stores. I would glady walk in there, and say "Rev up a copy of Seran Kagura Burst, cause I'm sure hungry for one....." And then they would they would throw me out, thus breaking my leg midair.

Also this game is toooooo big for my SD card, pysical copies for ever and life (And I'll buy this game one day, but not now)

@Mizore
I like how you said that in the last SKB related article

lmao this is hilarious !!

too bad i hat beat'em'ups

oh my god.. best thing i have seen all day xD

I never understood why so many Americans were mad over the lack of a retail version of this since Code of Princess had a box in NA while it was digital only in Europe, but Europeans never complained about the lack of a physical release of Code of Princess for their region.

I really hate this style of game and the theme only puts it lower in my opinion. Now, from a completely neutral viewpoint... can anyone else see the over emphasis @Nintendolife is putting on this game? It's had like 10 articles and it isn't even 1st party or an important 3rd party release. Just sayin'

I actually bought the physical copy of Code of Princess BTW, I just also got Scribblenauts Unlimited at the same time.

This marketing campaign works SO WELL. Every site loves to say that it is controversial. How often do you see any site talking about a brawler? Even with great combos and action sequence, they don't really get a lot of attention. And here it is. Using it's assets in the weirdest possible way to draw attention.

@PvtOttobot
why make such a big deal about it? if you don't like it, just ignore it, simple as that.

I don't understand these type of games but whatever knocks your socks and other clothes off I guess?

Otto why not?

Perhaps there are more people in this country versus over there where people have a stronger personal interest in a physical piece of property to own. I know I will likely never own this game because a $30 download is a slap to the face given everywhere else got a real version of it.

@Damo I did spot them!
Also, d**n you for posting this, now I got the line "it's a little bit..." And the melody stuck in my old ragged head on repeat!

I really want to check this game out, but there's no way I'm paying $30 for it.

LOL great TV spots. SKB is a game that enjoys making fun of itself, so it's good to see that the marketing is doing the same.

LOL these are cute. Love how they're pushing this game and I hope it's successful so that the 3DS can see more of these type of niche games overseas.

I would get this game if it was under $20. And yes, I would prefer a physical copy, cause I always prefer that.

I find these ads pretty funny. I mean how can owning a game with suggestive themes be considered taboo in todays overly sexualized society?!

Also - boo for nearly no gameplay...

I would love to have the problems of that guy, here in Italy they don't even know the game is coming out, no new game for 3DS released tomorrow -o-;

Wow... that's just... I don't... I.... WHY!?!?!?

Meanwhile on gonintendo.com:

Europe - Another round of 3DS Miiverse communities

I feel bad for the moderators of that miiverse community...

@mr570
I'll explain it when you're older.

@Romeo Nobody made a big deal out of anything. I simply expressed my view (what these comments are for!) and then, completely separately noted the fact that there has been a bit of an (over) emphasis on the game. What's your problem?

@tanookisuit I don't like 'beat em ups' or any 1 on 1 (or 1 on 2+) fighting games. I prefer strategy, action, adventure and puzzle to give you an idea: Monster Hunter and Zelda are my favourite franchises

@Kaze_Memaryu lol I actually gave MLP a try today(just not my thing) I'm just saying that the way things are it's normal to expect a young man to like things such as Senran Kagura! XD

@hosokawasamurai lol then you didn't see the Japanese Miiverse with the Highschool DXD community!

/sarcasm
Oh no virtual boobs and panty shots, what will my fragile mind do now...
/end sarcasm

I Live the in US got the Digital Download, it's a pretty fun game.

@hosokawasamurai Good lord if people can post in game screen shots the mods would have a field day.

If I were that guy's dad, I'd personally be more worried about the bra than the game.

@BulbasaurusRex nah I bet his stupid sister left it lying around and just shoved it there to put him into trouble

@noctowl Ah... Feel the Magic aka Project Rub for all you Europeans. It was an entertaining game indeed, but hardly comparable to the obvious Anime fan service that is Senran Kagura Burst. Feel the Magic and it's successor The Rub Rabbits (actually a prequel) focused more on innocent love-themed mini games, not on fighting girls with over sized breasts...
@FullbringIchigo #10 A woman with a good sense of humor. Lucky devil...
@FluttershyGuy MILF? More like MIRF... As in Mom I'd REFUSE to F***...

GAME does that advert like I'd actually be buying from them in the first place.

What it this. I don't even.

Am I the only one who thinks the guy is fit?

I wouldn't be getting this either way anyways, so not affected. Nice Sega Cameo though.

@Damo

I did.

I laughed at the first video.

@WaveBoy I only know about the Donkey Kong Country one but I think the UK one is miles better. (Much better voice). And the UK Zelda one at least shows the game not something totally irrelevant.

classic. still remember when a friend asked me to speak to her 15 year old boy about his reading material under his bed.
Of course i did told him to hide it better

Yeah... pretty sure I'm not the target audience here... but even if I were, I doubt these ads would convince me to buy a copy. Yuck.

I don't get the problem people have with these ads. Its just good ol' British humor.

haha! glad downloads exist!

i'd actually love to go in a store and get a boxed version even though I have the digital copy, just for the lolz o3o

OH WAH!!!! I bought an amazing action game that had to put big boobs in it so it'd sell in today's horrible market.

Game is amazing, ignore the boobs, grow up children-- its a fun game.

Regardless, I got over this kind of embarrassment when I became an adult. It never bothered me to buy things like this.

@SavantSupreme @FullbringIchigo @Romeo @Jazzer94 @Weedy

Haha. Good ones guys! My bad for setting myself up so easily. What I was going for, was more along the lines of this seemingly socially inept individual, who lives with a hyper-controlling mom who snoops through his stuff. No indication of a girl in real life being involved with this guy, yet he has a bra under his bed. Kinda odd and reminds me of the bra/panty thieves they have in Japan. I contend he uses the bra to assist his gameplay, if you know what I'm saying.

@allav866 I remember the Feel the Magic "Japanese" title screen.

So Smexxy!

@SamirMalik not really you see in the manga that character keeps her scroll hidden in her boobs (yeah I know it's strange and yes I have the manga it has a little bit of fan service but it's a good manga none the lest)

@Trikeboy The feigned outrage/disgust it's getting from some people is just embarrassing. These ads are actually mocking such behaviour.

@WaveBoy That ad is annoying as hell...

I actually felt a bit nervous picking this up at the post office this morning even though you couldn't see a thing inside. Wonder if I'll ever have the guys to wear the t-shirt, probably only when me equally open anime boob loving (female I might add) friends decide to visit. Or during a drunken house party.

The first one reminded me of an episode of bottom.

Got this today. May or may not play it. But I bet that in six months time you wont be able to find a physical copy of this anywhere.
Wish I had bought cave story 3ds when that was released, you cant find that anywhere these days and this will be the same.

@AugustusOxy : Ignore...boobs...??? HOW?
2 ecchi 4 me!
I really don't see the fuss about this game. Sure the anime girls look underage but no one goes to a beach and bans young girls from wearing bikinis (although some would) However you interpret this game is up to you. The game in itself is about busty anime babes fighting their asses off (or clothes of their asses) It's silly titlating fun it's not ment to offend or shock but just to make a game with busty ninja girls.
and if you don't like it? don't play it!

Now them ads would certainly brighten up the ads breaks during prime time tv.

the mom makes his bed? that's a large bra.

Annnnd ordered from amazon.... This better be worth it!

I might order a physical copy off the internet Dat back cover...

LOL the one with the mom was epic.

Oooh these are sweeeeiiiiit. 10 years from now, people will find these commercials and think, "This is from 2014! Aaaah, the good old classic days."

Which is what us 90's people (and those older) say about our own days. This reminded me of any humorous game commercial from the 90's. Great stuff.

ad was gold, even funnier were the clueless americans here who don't get this type of humour.

Funny ads. If only someone playing this had one of those tvs that you can hook your 3ds to and was playing it just as his girlfriend walked in. God would that be funny.

@losingtheplot I'm American and I get it...

But I won't be buying this.

You can avoid the embarassment of asking for the game at the store, just order online. If somebody is laughing at you for buying the game, at least they're probably like a thousand miles away from you.
I do remember buying Super Princess Peach in a store at launch. I even played it on the bus. Though I can't remember if I stopped at the part with the sub where you have to blow into the microphone to shoot the blocks to proceed. And this was on the original DS, that microphone is not positioned for discreet blowing at all!

That shouldn't be an excuse for not releasing the physical copy. If I was so embarrassed to go to the store to pick it up myself, I'd just order it online from Amazon, whatsoever.

@Damo I'm more amazed that a Nintendo commercial not only features Xbox and PS3 games, but also censors Mario for a brief moment

Lol, it's absolutely shameless!!

"It's a little bit...... And a little bit...."
What the heck xD weirdest advertising ever, but what the hey, it's funny.

I remember getting Onechanbara on Wii, and the lady in the store gave me a weird look. Then she looked at my girlfriend, and just went on doing her job. We had lots of fun in co-op after I completed the single player. That was literal, yes.
Preordered this game by mail in another country. Where I live they didn't get the preorder bonus, that's why.

@losingtheplot ... absolutely everyone over the age of 12 gets the implied humor in these commercials... some may not find it funny (I find it absolutely hilarious)

Are Nintendo the ones who approve Box Art on their console(s)?
If so, why are you guys at Nintendo so silly? Why? Making a cover with a scroll in a girl's....you know....is like creating a cover with ice cream on a male's genital and naming it "Tatakai Sekai Blast".

Bought my copy day one with pride, its a box with art on it, get over yourselves prudes, as long as the game plays good (and it does) i really dont give a crap whats on the box!

Golly, I want this game

@Damo Surprised no one has noticed that in the top image, his mouse mat is a lady and bewbs. Now be mature about this.

i still want the physical copy but i guess i can buy an empty case and download the boxart and maybe the manual (if it comes with it)

@noctowl I owned that and so did a couple of 10 year old I knew at church.

While I have no plans to grab the game myself, I personally found the videos pretty hilarious. I think the marketing for the game is actually pretty genius - overstating its scandalous-ness with some humor thrown in. It shows that they're perfectly aware of the game's nature and aren't ashamed to flaunt it, something I find quite refreshing compared to the puritanical uptightness that permeates American society.

Meanwhile GTA 5 still gets cut slack.

play me off paul
