Kenichiro Takaki hasn’t given up hope on a localized version of Senran Kagura. However, if it is brought overseas, he understands that “some adjustments” will need to be implemented.

Senran Kagura’s producer said:

“If we can bring it out overseas, we will do it. But, things like moe and the cultural appeal and fetishes between Japan and America are different in many ways. If we brought it out we may have to make some adjustments so it has broader appeal…”

I personally don’t see this game coming to North America or Europe. Stranger things have happened, though! I just feel like it’d be a complete bomb if it did come out in other regions…
