We're looking into an update at the moment 🙂

Senran Kagura producer on Shinobi Refle, Peach Ball
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 12 Comments
A big presentation was held for the Senran Kagura series a few hours ago. All sorts of news and announcements were shared, including an update on Shinobi Refle and the newly-revealed Peach Ball.
Following up on that, Famitsu spoke with series producer Kenichiro Takaki about the various titles in its latest magazine. Takai stated the following about the two Switch titles:
On Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura
A love adventure game with a different taste and uses HD rumble. At first it’ll be Asuka only, but I’d like to add several more characters next.
On Peach Ball: Senran Kagura
This is something I’ve always wanted to do. I wanted to play something that will let me feel when the ball touches breasts. I want to play pinball on a woman’s body.
Since there’s a lot to learn for pinball, I want to make it something easy to play.
The pinball stage will come in a light and shadow, as we’ve been working on the concept that will be something along the lines of a “bright attraction park” on one end and a “slightly suspicious attraction park at night” on the other.
