Hörberg’s comments in full:

Right now no; I don’t want to be stuck rereleasing the same game for ever. but I have some vague Wii U plans for the future.

The next Senran Kagura game should be announced in just a matter of days. That’s not the only title series producer Kenichiro Takaki is working on, though.

Speaking to 4Gamer, Takai teased a brand new project that is said to be “new and challenging”. The unannounced title is planned for release this year in Japan.

Takai said:

“To start the new year, we’ll be announcing a lot of Senran Kagura news come January 8th, at the Senran Kagura Bakunyuu Hyper Presentation. We’ve kept you waiting a little longer for its release this time compared to the previous time, but I believe we’ll be able to reveal a great deal more [at the event]. In addition, we also have another title we’ll be releasing in 2014.”

“This title will be a new and challenging one, but things are going smoothly for now, so please look forward to it!. Please continue supporting the Senran Kagura series and Marvelous AQL this year as well!”

Amazon began selling various 3DS XL systems directly a couple of months ago. However, the situation may have reverted to the way things were originally.

At least for the time being, you can’t purchase any of the 3DS XL models straight through Amazon. You’ll have to make a purchase through another seller if you’re looking to buy a unit from the retailer’s site.

Nintendo and Amazon have maintained a noticeably strained relationship over the years. Cooperation between the two appeared to be improving after news spread regarding Amazon’s move to sell 3DS XL models directly, but may have soured yet again.
