We've been getting a decent helping of beat-em-ups this year, and that makes me really happy. From Code of Princess, the re-release of Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara to Sacred Citadel and the release of Dragon's Crown today, this year has made me hopeful that Beat-em-ups isn't a dead genre. For a while, a Nintendo 3DS game in Japan has been talked about quite often here and how it has expanded to a series of manga and animé. Senran Kagura Burst, or to some known as "booby ninjas in 3D", is a 3D, side-scrolling Action Beat-em-up with a lot of fan-service. It features an all female-cast (as far as I know) of fighters and Ninjas in a light-hearted action-comedy themed beat-em-up.
For those who have played the game, they mentioned that the combat mechanics are actually pretty in-depth and provide a decent amount of variety and fluid gameplay. There is also customization in the characters outfits that changes their stats and thus changing the gameplay.
The excessive amount of fan service seemed like it would have no chance of ever seeing an over sea release; however, XSeed, once again, reached out to the niche group who are interested and decided to localize the game for the Western market. This was happy news to hear for sure, but it made me sad when I found out that it will be digitally distributed only. I have expressed my dislike for digitally distributed games other than what Valve has provided on their Steam platform for PC, so this was a disappointing, happy news to hear. I might just suck it up and purchase it if I have no other choice. Senran Kagura Burst is set to release on the Nintendo 3DS eShop this Fall with no mentioned price at the moment.
