Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson Confirmed For European Launch, Embarrassing Limited Edition Packs Promised

Man they have some amazing breas i mean hair! Oh god i can honestly say i cannot play this in front of anybody,without looking like perv.

"Some of the more esoteric titles from Japan don't necessarily sell in the numbers needed to make a big splash at retail."

Well, this one is obviously not one of those. This has more editions than a CoD game!

BOOTY! I mean, GOTY!

Can't they just make a double-sided cover?

How can Nintendo allow this? What about the Children they so vehemently protect? sarcasm

Welp, what better time am I gonna have to use this image?

Oh Japan...

I'm all for nudity and sex in games--particularly as it is healthier than, you know, rampant violence--but this seems almost childish, yet intriguing. But, this is just a European set, so meh. I won't be getting this.

I haven't played one of these yet. Are breasts a key part of the gameplay in some way?

The Happy Boob edition did tempt me for a bit, but I'm running out of space on my Limited Edition shelf, and I'm trying to save room for a hypothetical Xenoblade Chronicles X LE (or that Bayonetta 3 First Print Edition with the Book of Infernal Demons hint hint nudge nudge plead plead)

Not interested in any of that swag, but I'll take a digital copy of the game itself in NA, thanks.

@Samurairu

Nintendo is fine with this. But they don't want to risk a kid hearing a bad word over the internet.

Well, no one buys this for the gameplay anyways.

I really hope they release this in the US with some of the bundle options

Happy boob edition? lmao xD idk i will probably not buy it! But happy its coming to europe atleast ^^

@Barbiegurl777

Hi, I was being sarcastic, that's why I put sarcasm after the post. Nintendo has used this pathetic veil of them watching out for children as justification for some inappropriate ways they have treated me. This is their standard line they tow when you talk to them.

I personally think it's the parents job to watch their children, not mine, yours or Nintendo's. If that's too hard for them, maybe they shouldn't have had kids. We should all be able to make our own choices on unimportant issues like this and not be restricted by companies like Nintendo pretending to care for the children when it suits them.

I have the last 3DS iteration and it's actually a good game. Bring this to NA please. I'm sold.

@Quorthon No. But the clothing is. Well, it might not matter what you wear but if you take too much damage then you will take even more damage after that because you're cloths were ripped to bits. It's kind of a armor system in place. And the 2nd game here is going to have you control 2 characters at once, sort of. Thankfully, they limit themselves to beach territory.

@Samurairu They published Bayonetta. Remember? Nintendo will not use this as an excuse. when something is available to literally everybody then they will take it down. but it already has a lock of sorts on it, being the rating systems for example, then they will not care because it is already restricted.

Oh my.....guess we'll have to see how summer is in terms of new releases.

What erm, prices are these going for?

These girls work out a lot I bet, they have big chest muscles.

Allready own the Japanese version, but sure, I would buy the Happy Boob box if its not too expensive.

@NintendoFan64
Sums it up pretty good! LOL
I won't be getting this but it's always awesome when they go the extra mile to please their hardcore fans.

How's the boobs in 3D in the first game? now that I have a N3DS, I will ... uhh .... b .. e... ge ... ......ing ... thi ...

Well, looks like Nintendolife's home page will once again be not safe for work for the next coming months.

@SamirMalik

That part--the damaged clothes/armor--I did know. I guess they just want an excuse to plaster boobs all over the place.

I love boobs!

Best name I've ever heard for a limited edition/collectors edition ever. Happy boos. Ha!

Siliconera.com confirms that XSeed is bringing the game to the States this summer with a limited run physical edition like Shinovi Versus.

Stop peeking!

I'm man enough, I'll FREAKING do it.

Too bad they don't feel that way about Muricans.

Then again, Shinovi Versus had a physical release with an LE of some sort, so good chance we'll get this

@Samurairu
It's just the kids in North America. Remember, we're silly and stupid over here which is why they make it simplifier for us by not allowing ore than one model of the 3DS to be sold....sigh...
_{Please don't use that word here, your explanation did not make it acceptable — TBD}

I'm in favour of titillation and eroticism being allowed in games, but I didn't think Senran Kagura Burst was a good game at all. If anything, I think people exaggerated its quality as a way of saying it wasn't just about scantily-clad girls. The combat was a little bit fun at first but became repetitive extremely quickly, and overall just left me wanting to play Final Fight instead. No offence intended - just my humble opinion.

Using nudity and school girls with giant "chests" to sell a game... now THIS makes me sick.

@Kirby_Fan_DL3

There's nothing wrong with nudity, per se.

School girls, on the other hand, that can hover around some unfortunate gray areas.

@DiscoGentleman

I'd buy both of those. I bought that Hakuoki special edition.

Haven't played it yet.

@Quorthon Sure, there's nothing wrong with nudity, but this game seems to be using nudity just to sell a game.

I'm only interested in the game and the soundtrack.
I'd much rather spend 20 pounds in The Jiggly Room.

@alLabouTandroiD I think this game has 20 pounds of Jiggly included.

Looks like North America is getting the Double-D edition, including a soundtrack.

Bought the first game, but the boobs didn't really help make the gameplay more appealing to me.

Awesome. I'll be preordering that special edition. Not sure why people keep getting upset...it won't sell in huge numbers and gaming or society as a whole won't be affected because of it. A lot of people like myself just like the crazy Japanese madness of it all (same reason I love stuff like the Goeman games and Cho Aniki), only an extremely tiny amount will be buying for voyeuristic reasons when there's plenty more dodgy adult content available all over the internet completely of charge.

Totally want to buy this game, the first one was as fun gameplay and story wise as bouncing in the graphics.
But I'm a bit disappointed that they are considering the phisical release as preorders only... I can understand the reasons, but it would be a shame to not see that cover in stores XD

Limited Editions needs more Hibari....also...WHAT ABOUT US?! TwT

Games like this is what give video games a bad rep.

I don't get it. If the gameplay is solid enough why even include the explicit stuff?

And at that point, if you really want to be entertained by such images just use the internet. It'll get you to that desired point quicker.

This looks like its going to be fun to watch unfold :3 Besides that, the song in the video was actually pretty awesome imo, although the film was rather debatable.

@EllenJMiller what you need for that problem is......a BIG RACK!!!!

@Kirby_Fan_DL3 people have been selling things with nudity and schoolgirls long before there was such a thing as a game! Let's not forget every 'girl' on western tv is played by an older sexier actress, it's just more subtle. Japan have a more open culture regarding these things is all.

ugh....

I'm expecting America to have no physical edition of the game at all, and Nintendo region locks so I can't import.

I'm all for an official website only sale if they'll do it though.

@DarkKirby According to an article on NintendoEverything, they're bringing it to NA as both physical and digital.

First game was decent, i'll probably get this one

haha i love those mouse mats

...I'll be right back. Just gotta move to Europe.

Shinobi Box?
What's in the box?

@LUIGITORNADO
Meh. That's like saying Fifty Shades of Grey affects moviegoers or book readers. Not everyone partakes in one production or another. And even if they do, it still depends on what the appeal is to the individual, and even then, that isn't in any way visceral until the individual takes it and makes it so in their own personal life. Gaming deserves the same treatment and lack of snap judgments.
And we'll get that equality just as soon as we ignore these haters and bullies with their double-standards.

And really, there's no reason to complain. There are games 10x worse then this coming out on a regular basis in Japan. You remember that Vita game that came out in Japan, monster whatever? One of the gameplay methods in it was literally rubbing it up and down. People weren't throwing a fit about it, it was just funny and they loved it. This is just a game with a ton of boobage.

and i love it for that.

@HyperSonicEXE Thank you.

@Quorthon Meh, it's not my type of game (as I don't mind sexuality/nudity, as there are games like GTA which do that right, but this is just too blatant for me), but I have heard it has a decent storyline and gameplay. Nevertheless, it's just a matter of cultural differences, which I can respect. Though it's not for me, it does add another game to the 3DS Library for this year. Although the 3DS has had a tremendous library and IMO is my favourite Nintendo handheld ever: it's a bit barren with releases this year, and I suppose this game will also fill a niche.

Starting to remind me of the whole Burst fiasco when that game launched here. People just need to grow up, it's a video game, get over it. lol

This is one of those games that I kinda wish that they didn't make just because of the fuel it adds to the "video games objectify women" debate. Personally if I don't like a game I just won't buy it but some people just love to make an issue out of anything they can.

@KoiKazma I believe that Vita game is Monster Monpiece

@Kirby_Fan_DL3 But there are also games that use violence just to sell! And religion too. I'd rather buy this game since at least it's nice to look at

Anyway, nice name for the LE

@ULTRA-64 I really need to keep abreast of all the latest shelving developments.

I tried the first game and it was the same exact thing every battle. Jump, attack, auto-zoom to next enemy, repeat forever.

@6ch6ris6 Imagine going into a public place and finding this mouse pad in front of someone's computer. uhh
@Jahir "Nice to look at" It won't be that nice to look at when your friends come over. I can see why they made this game for 3DS... and i know epic name

@EllenJMiller Maybe you could move your 64DD?

Boobs? Nah...not interested.

The game is what it is. Exploitation and fighting. No shame in their game, and that is thier artistic right. Good for Marvelous. No one should be sensored. Nintendo will all ways be kid friendly. It's nice to see something for a different demographic. I know this won't get to the states, but if it does, I don't mind. Does it Objectify women. Yes it does. If you don't like it don't buy it. Not everybody needs to be interested in a game. I don't care for Kirby. I don't buy it. If you dont care for boobs don't buy it.

I enjoyed the gameplay of the first game. Got a bit grindy near the end, but I have a pretty high treshold for monotonity (Is that even a word?) If the promotional material I've seen around the interwebs is right, they pretty much doubled the amount of playable characters (Unless that was only for those 3D Vita games). Should be fun!

Finally! Perfect time too since summer is summer break, kinda...

@Tops actually we get it the same time (summer) as well, but with a "Double D" edition. They just didn't mention it, check Gematsu if you wanna see for confirmation.

@Tops
NA will be getting a limited print run of a "Double D Limited edition version of the game". It'll include the different goodies shown above. They are aiming for a summer release.

I am currently working on a Boob bouncing simulator to sell on the eshop for the Wii U. You can edit the color and size of the boobs. If Meme Run and Jumpy Cat can get accepted, I'm sure mine will have no issues getting the thumbs up from Nintendo. I can even add Amiibo so players can see the jiggle factor of Peach, Rosalina, Zelda, and even Mario/Wario!

@Ash_Anne
But the rest of us don't get to see your boobies jiggle so we need to settle for games like Senran Kagura to compensate for our loss

If this edition releases in America, I'll get it if it doesn't cost too much than just buying the game itself. Though I'd be fine with just buying a physical copy considering Burst was digital only in America.

Gotta love the thinking of these people. "It's the second game, what shall we have on the cover? 2 items stuck in the cleavage? Done!"

LOL!

Glad this is coming out in CAN&US despite the PC police. Physical copy is a nice bonus too despite getting hosed for the swag.

So North America gets Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker, Etrian Mystery Dungeon and Etrian Odyssey II Untold.

Meanwhile, we get... this.

Jesus fudging Christ. And for all the Captain Obvious copycats out there, yes, I realize these are from completely different companies.

Is this game going to have a western release? If so, does it have a release date?

@darthllama Wario ware jiggle.

A few months back, people were complaining that Zero Suit Samus is oversexualized in Smash 4. Now people are lining up to buy a game like this. I honestly don't get it? It's only bad when you perk up a character who used to be fairly tame?

@NintendoFan64 Lad hahaha

@DragonbornRito

You sure it's the same people who made that so called complaint about Samus who are "lining up" to get this?

Oh Japan! You and your crazy obsession with unrealistic boob sizes and jiggle physics!😜

@sweetiepiejonus Absolutely not. I just find the contrasts quite funny.

@LUIGITORNADO Dude, there's always gonna be games like this. On the plus side, Japan has a balance when it comes to games like these.

@Kirby_Fan_DL3 there really isn't any actual nudity in the first game and rarely has any sexual scenes. The PS games on the other hand...

@Quorthon Actually, the creator wanted to see boobs in 3D since the 3DS was announced. At the same time he loves action games. So he did just that and presented it all as a action/comedy game. Just don't get the ones on PS. Those go too far and aren't made by the same guy.

Oh Japan...oh Japan....
Also "Happy Boob Edition??????????????????????????"
.................................................................................................................................... I can't, I just can't! That is literally the greatest name for a limited edition form of media, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sadly us 'Merican's are getting the Double D Limited Edition, no happy boobies for us (at least not in the real world ) Sounds like the US run will be a little limited (SHUSH!!!!!! Before "they" find out....), might be a wee bit too....well....um over the top for me....but what the hell! I'll take a copy!
_{I'll pay in cash...can't have this on the card...now how do I get this past mother??? hmmmm....}

I'm not really into the characters, but these guys certainly don't let anyone tell them what they can and cannot do with their promotion material. It's fresh and ballsy in a climate of political correctness.

I'd happily go for the Happy Boobs edition if it were made available to America (even with its juvenile name), I've wanted an oppai mousepad for the longest time, but the novelty wasn't worth the price they go for.

I loved the first SK game because under all the fanservice was a solid beat-'em-up with interesting characters; I've been hoping for an American release of the 2nd one since that video showing off some of the gameplay popped up. I'll probably go for the physical version since my sd is running out of space, but I'd like to have both digital version side by side on my main menu. We'll see.

Nintendo Should n`t have licensed this game.
This game seems pornographic!
It should be banned, because it looks like hentai.
This is a shame because I am an enthusiastic fan of the side scrolling beat `em up genre, particularly because I am a fanatic for games in released between 1990 -1999.

@DragonbornRito I'm fairly sure the joyless individuals who found ZSS so objectionable are getting ready to find Senran 2 objectionable, too.

@LinkSword I suggest you go and ask Atlus why they hate Europe so much. Seriously, it beats me, and it always has. I very nearly bought a US 3DS solely so I don't have to deal with protracted release dates and generally poor attitudes towards paying customers from a single publisher; so that's always an option if you have more money than sense.

Personally, I consider Marvelous more deserving of my money because they at least seem to acknowledge that Europe has a pretty healthy market for more niche Japanese titles.

@james1993
Senran Kagura is not hentai. There is no need to ban this game.

On a positive note I do find the skirt garment to be the most attractive female garment not bikinis which could sound ironic because they show the female form.

@kensredemption I would NEVER buy this game.
The Final Fight, Streets of Rage and Double Dragon series ruled the genre!
I am European by the way.

FAN SERVICE, MY FAVOR- Um I mean good 3rd party service, yeah, lets go with that...

Well there goes my pride of owning the Nyuu Nyuu DX Box...
Just kidding, getting this ASAP! Senran Kagura 2 is just awesome! Kudos to Marvelous for going this extra mile to bring us this gem!

@James1993 Which is why none of them exist anymore, right?
Senran Kagura 2 isn't even a 2D beat-'em-up anymore, more like a 3D hack-'n-slash with brawler flavor. And before you call this hentai: It's not hentai, and it also isn't ecchi, meaning it teases, but never shows anything explicit. If you can't handle the tease, don't get it.

@Tobias95 It`s definitely not but it has one inappropriate pornographic - like reference, the front cover. On another positive note (to not be sounding too negative) These female characters are beautiful young ladies in cool school uniforms. I admit I am attracted to girls and woman with skirts on.
Do you find bikinis more attractive or the dress garment perhaps?

WOW...I can't believe we lost Swapnote and Flipnote Studio's online features and yet can get something like this.

@Kaze_Memaryu I NEVER said it IS hentai.
I said it LOOKS like it; and it does at first glance, particularly that front cover.
I also said the Final Fight, Streets of Rage and the Double Dragon series RULED the genre. I don`t believe you read my comment properly; you probably skimmed through it which is what I do to save time.
By the way do you work in the gaming industry?

Already preordered the "Shinobi Collector's Edition"......the Ultimate ver. was already soldout.

I still want my Flipnote Nintendo. Animated boobs won't do it for me.

@NintendoFan64 Do girls wearing skirts instead of bikinis attract you more? I do. ha ha! You made me laugh when I saw the image.
The girls are beautiful and cool, even if they are a tad bit too silly because of hormones. Everybody goes through a hormonal stage in their teenage years, I am no longer one myself. You did reminded me of myself when I was your age, I have always found skirts more attractive.

@Pod They sure do understand just how attractive skirts are.
I said I would never buy this game, I was being a tad dramatic when I said I would never, but dammit I just don`t like that front cover. The front cover, dammit that front cover!

I'll go with a digital copy if it ever gets released in the US.

@James1993 I didn't imply you did ("BEFORE you call it hentai" is a preemptive argument).
Also, you don't seem to know much about hentai to begin with (I do, admittedly) if you think scrolls-in-ample-cleavage close-ups are a hentai thing (Victoria's Secret did it, several perfume brands did it, and even a gold trader in my town does it). It's a slight provocation, at best, and more like an established joke in the animé business.
Don't take this as an attack against your viewpoint, though. I simply don't like these kinds of dangerous assumptions that can easily become false information - it already caused a ruckus with the first game.
My remark about the 90's beat-'em-ups was just snark - bitter snark, that is, since I do miss these good old brawlers.
And no, I don't work in the gaming industry, why do you ask?

Thank you for the reply I was waiting for it for a moment. I thought you work in the industry since you mentioned writing game concepts in your profile. Here I am still awake at 01:26am! (I am not staring at the beautiful girls) in the United Kingdom the days are just too short for me sometimes. I am a really nostalgic gamer; I believe games from 1990 - 1999 revolutionized more rapidly than the current generation. This decade in gaming (1990 -1999) has and always will always have a special place in my heart. By the way do skirts attract you more or bikinis?
I have learned a few things from you, thank you.

...May I add wood to this fire? owo
...There's an under-aged girl in this game. hides, lol

@James1993 That's a good question, actually. It normally depends on the character, but more often than not, I prefer skirts - with shorts, especially.
Also, I fully agree on the 90's having a much more meaningful impact on gaming overall: it was a time where creativity was in very great demand, and brought life to many groundbreaking games that will forever remain in history as THE masterpieces of gaming that changed the whole industry.
And I should change my profile description... the question keeps coming up lately, and I don't like confusing people.

@Sanya Well, almost all of the characters are, but since the EU/US release hides their ages, ??? is the only obviously underage girl, and nothing happens with her, anyway.

Kinda figured most of them were late teens, only one I really knew about from Burst is Mirai. lol

NA confirmed right? At least, that's what I read on Siliconera, while here only mention Europe.

I'm happy this is coming. I haven't got the first game, but I planned to, just waiting for a right opportunity (a discount or when my backlog reduced). I love fan-service game, enjoyed Code of Princess, so I think I'll also enjoy this series as much.

We can all thank god for the beauty that is the female form of course.
The "1990`s" a decade I wish I could go back to with a time machine.
Do you remember the credits theme in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy`s Kong Quest? Developers in this decade poured so much heart and soul, dedication and love. I shed a tear of nostalgia sometimes when completing or playing, listening or watching a game from this decade being played. I also get goosebumps.

time for a bunch of lame jokes and or feminism discussion

that is a pretty awesome collectors edition as far as the amount of items for the price. Alas I've passed the age of wanting anime girl pinups everywhere, but i think the stickers with the emblems are pretty nifty. I need to get the vita game and the first game still (they are on my list). I may pick up the vita one on friday since i haven't bought a new game for the system in a while.

@james1993 I prefer dresses

lol! wow now i have seen it all xD pa dum tss but those limited editions sets are amazing and yet hilarious oppai mouse pad? i would feel to perverted owning one but this is the second one? i wonder if the first one made it here to NA.... im also wondering if there is a anime of this out there since the trailer pretty much is a anime already :S

as for the haters out there they usually say nintendo doesnt have any mature games and wii u/3ds are for kids so now we have more stuff to prove to those haters that they have M rated games

@DarkNinja9 This is thesecond game yes. I think the first one was released in US digital only. And it is an anime based on the first one, but the game is better.

Oh it breaks my heart that that ultimate happy boobs edition is only for the EU, I would be proud to pick up a copy not sure why Damien is worried about what minimum wage clerks at a game store think must have self esteem issues.

Have my SKB1, my SKV lets get physical edition, SK dvd/bluray anime, and my SK graphic novels, and I'll add SKB2 really excited to try the paired battle system.

I didn't even know boobs had feelings like that...O_o

The soundtrack for the first game was fantastic. I'd love a special edition that comes with the soundtrack here in North America, but we'll probably end up getting a digital only release again.

@TwilightAngel because anyome who plays this is a perv, and really needs a gf. For God sakes some of them look preteen/16/very young looking and dressed like that they are pretty much naked. Perv for sure lol. Can't belive nintendo is letting this be released, this crap should be left on the vita.

I'd like to see any of you play this I front of your mom/sister/grandma/aunt even your Dad... Play this on public transit, with no headphones or better yet with headphones.... Woukd you play this game at school when you were younger/currently? Lmfao yall are in denial, Pervs.

Go outside and find a girlfriend.

The happy boobs Limited Edition, Nintendo you got to be shitting me, just wait till the anti gaming mainstream media see this on a nintendo console with retail release in the USA LMFAO I can see their heads exploding already.

Good pr nintendo lol, most hardcore gamers shun games like this, only the fringe latch onto games that depict girls this way.

I'll get this instead of Majora's Mask... what's wrong with me lol.

Welp

@mrGREEK360 You're telling people how to live their lives it's pathetic.Cause go outside and get girlfriend?And if they do?That means they can't play this game?You're full a crap not everyone who plays this is a perv,some might just laugh at the nonsense this game has,some might just play it cause it actually plays well.And what is the mainstream media gonna do?I'll tell you what there going to do,make the game sell like crazy.Cause bad media equals good sales brother.And don't tell people what to do,it's their lives not your's!Guess i'm going to buy this now,just to piss people off.

@FilmerNgameR Flipnote has been released on Club Nintendo.

@Captain_Toad
But why not release it to the public? I don't want to make a club nintendo account to just download it?!

@Barbiegurl777 Let's be honest, if you're buying your kid a game that has an image of a woman showing off her cleavage on the front cover, you've got no reason to blame Nintendo for your kid seeing things for older people.

@FilmerNgameR Heh, true. Hopefully they'll publically release it sooner than later. Creating an CN account takes no time at all.

@Captain_Toad
Yeah, if they take another 100 years I'll might as well make an CN account anyway.

Why I am not surprised that pigs and low dirty people love to see little teenage girls in disgusting sexy outfits? Especially when it's made by a sicko. -_-! This is not even considered to be a game!! It should be taken the freak down! AND BANNED! It's disgusting and horrible.
