Senran Kagura will continue on its usual platforms, producer wants to incorporate big boss monsters again
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
In an interview with Siliconera, Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki was asked about the series’ future. He noted that he has “a lot of ideas” that he’s thinking about, but it’s too early to discuss anything at this point. He also spoke about how the series will continue on platforms that it has appeared on previously – meaning 3DS should be in the mix.
According to Takaki:
As of now, we’re not really thinking about expanding to any other platforms. I’m happy continuing to develop for the platforms the series has already showed up on.
Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson will be coming to North America in a few months. When asked his favorite feature, he pointed to the big boss monsters, which is something he’d like to revisit.
One of the things I’m really proud of in that game is that the players can fight against giant boss monsters. For me it actually added a lot to the gameplay, and it’s something I really want to revisit in future titles.
