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.
This week’s issue of Famitsu has an update on Nobunaga’s Ambition: Taishi. Along with new details, the magazine provides a release date.
First, below is the latest information:
– Has many “Memoirs”
– These are historically accurate events and anecdotes turned into “Free Events”
– Complete a Memoir to get a bonus for the officer’s maximum growth potential
– Two stages in battles: “March” and “Decisive Battle”
– During the March stage, you will move along a map of the country
– If you collide with an enemy, you will enter Decisive Battle on a battlefield map
– Each battlefield has its own size and attributes
– In a Decisive Battle, there is the “Command Phase”
– Decide your strategy and position your troops in this phase
– “March Phase” has you confirming the outcome of those decisions

A new blog post hit the official Stardew Valley site explaining what’s in store for multiplayer. As was announced earlier this year, Switch will be the first console to be receiving the new functionality.
When you begin Stardew Valley, you’ll be able to build up to three cabins on your farm that can be inhabited by a farmhand controlled by friends. Farmhands can farm, mine, fight, fish, forage, marry NPCs, and take part in festivals. Players will also have separate inventories. When a friend isn’t online, inventory management is done through a chest in their cabinet.
It also seems that player-to-player marriage will be possible. Rather than using the mermaid pendant, “an alternative method that requires a similar amount of effort to wooing an NPC” is planned instead.
The full post on multiplayer in Stardew Valley is below.
