Concept for Europe’s original Senran Kagura Burst boxart shown
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 5 Comments
Senran Kagura Burst could have ended up with a very different boxart for Europe. Originally, PQube was toying around with an idea that “would have featured Hikage, and would have had a plastic sleeve around the box that would slide off. Hikage’s out clothing would have been on the sleeve only, so that peeling off the sleeve would mimic Senran Kagura‘s well-known clothing destruction feature.”
The image below is what PQube went with for the final product. While the initial idea was abandoned, head of marketing Geraint Evans says it could be revisited at some point.

XSEED says Senran Kagura Burst “did really well”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 12 Comments
Senran Kagura Burst sold “really well” for XSEED, according to the publisher’s Jimmy Soga. The 3DS game’s performance has led to the localization of the PS Vita titles Shinovi Versus and Bon Appetit.
Soga added that if Senran Kagura continues to do well for XSEED, “we want to continue with the series.” That would hopefully mean a western release for Senran Kagura 2 on 3DS would be possible.
We’re taking it case by case. Senran Kagura Burst did really well. It was download only, but there’s enough to say there is a US audience for it that’s why we went with Shinovi Versus. It’s sort of risky, but we localized Bon Appétit at the same time. We think there is a core audience for it, but it’s case by case for now. If these sell well enough of course we want to continue with the series.

XSEED willing to consider physical release for future Senran Kagura games
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 3 Comments
XSEED gave Senran Kagura Burst a digital release. Unlike Europe, no physical version was made available – it only launched as an eShop download.
But as far as the future goes, XSEED is willing to consider physical launches for Senran Kagura games. While “it’s too late for us to go back and redo Burst”, XSEED explained, a physical release for other titles “wouldn’t be out of the question”. XSEED specifically pointed to the PS Vita project Shinovi Versus, but hopefully Senran Kagura 2 would be considered as well.

XSEED localized Senran Kagura Burst in about 3 months, Rune Factory 4 in 9-10 months
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
XSEED localized Senran Kagura Burst in just 3 months. The company made the news known on Twitter, writing yesterday:
@JohhnyRidden1 I wasn't as involved in that one personally, but I seem to recall it taking… 3 months or so, with editing?
— XSEED Games (@XSEEDGames) February 26, 2014
Rune Factory 4 was a much more involved project. With all of the edits XSEED made, it took 9-10 months to localize:
@GoldMetalSonic @JohhnyRidden1 Actually, I did a lot of editing for that one! And that one took… whew… many, many months. 9-10, IIRC.
