Marvelous is going all-out for Senran Kagura’s re-release, which will be included on Senran Kagura Burst’s cart.

We previously heard that the updated game would feature visual and gameplay modifications along with 3D visuals for locker room sections. Marvelous has since detailed the specifics concerning these changes:

– Parameters for characters and bosses have been fine tuned
– New techniques such as mid-air ninja arts
– Revised enemy patterns (especially mission 2-11)
– Attack frame animations were modified
– More voice acting
– Background music and facial expressions for certain event scenes have been adjusted
– Added costumes from Kagura Burst
– Can skip the story the second time you go through the game

Senran Kagura Burst hits Japan on August 30.

A new downloadable reward is available on Club Nintendo.

Bonsai Barber has been swapped out for Fluidity. The game is available for 150 coins.

You can order Fluidity here. It’s available as a WiiWare download until August 19.

When the 3DS was announced, Capcom threw a ton of support Nintendo’s way. Right off the bat the company revealed Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition and Resident Evil: Revelations. And it wasn’t long before Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D was made public.

Capcom’s support for Nintendo’s latest system, the Wii U, has been much different this time around. It has yet to confirm one title for the new console.

This may be a bit concerning for some, but Capcom does few “some good stuff” in the pipeline. On the company’s official forum, Capcom’s Christian Svensson teased:

“Some good stuff is coming and I’d love to tell you more… but for now, I have to keep it a surprise. Sorry.”

News regarding downloadable content for Fire Emblem: Awakening has been quiet as late, so most had thought that Nintendo could be done with that area. But not so fast! Nintendo has announced that a second wave of DLC kicks off on August 9.

The new DLC will be released under the “Kamigunshi e no Michi” label. All content will offer maps with new characters not included in the main campaign. There will be higher difficulty maps, maps with special situations, and maps that have players saving the future from Jayryuu Gimurei.

Two maps go on sale this Thursday for 200 and 250 yen. Through September 30, Nintendo will be discounting the first map to 100 yen.

Thanks to 4Him for the tip.
