Region lock and objectively inferior gameplay based off those who have played both Burst and Shinovi Versus.

...i'm good with burst. would've preferred versus, but, hey, good burst sales, & who knows?

Burst huh. I'm not all that excited because I was hoping for Shinovi Versus, but I guess I'll take Burst also.
New update
What?
Definitely this.
You can see the nose and the beginnings of the eyebrow
I suppose it makes sense for BURST to come out first, given how SV is a sort of "sequel" and you might not get the story if you jump on that one right away (I know life & hometown are all the story I need, though, but I digress).
However, Burst really looks like a lackluster game and with all the stuff that I still want to grab on both Vita and 3DS, I'll have to pass it up. Hopefully the 3DS bros will do a good job, so that SV can come out on a later date. Although there's also the risk of it facing harsh reviews and not selling all that well, which would in turn lower SV's chances. Oh well

Hikage aka the best girl.
This means that Shinovi Versus may eventually make its way over to the states as well. I'd rather they bring it all over, even piecemeal, than skip entries.
Hoping for a retail release. I hate Nintendo's eShop. Also, the potential for goodies.
Her name is Hikage.

Both 3DS games can't even touch the Vita one.
They are medicore at best.

A little disappointed if it ends up being Burst instead of VS.
I guess I'll still get it but still wanted more musou on the Vita.

Thank you! I feel proud to have picked an 18 year old out, honestly.
I don't understand though, wouldn't it be more convenient for NA gamers to get the 3DS game? The Vita one can just be imported, and there would probably be more 3DS sales to drives a Vita localization than the other way around.

This is my problem. If the decision to localize SV is contingent on Burst sales .. I don't think we'll ever see SV in the US or Europe. I just don't see the US crowd lining up in droves to buy Burst on a Nintendo platform.
I'm hoping the people who bought Project X Zone are the same people who will buy this game, but I admit, even as a 3DS owner, this series has that Playstation feel to it.
So either way, we get tits. Nice.
So Burst it is then, Good for XSEED, releasing SK for a machine I own. Now all I have to wait for is a European publisher to pick it up (or a region unlock hack).

Burst ?

Yet, they will line up to buy it on Vita, a platform with a fraction of the user base?
This game is intended for a small, hardcore audience. XSEED knows this, and I'm sure it will meet their expectations.
My comment about region locks isn't directed at NA, it's for us over in EU/AUS. If XSEED doesn't publish this themselves, we could be stuck waiting for quite a while.

And they would on the Vita? It's a niche game on any platform. Might as well go with the one that actually has a decent user base.
Yup, I think the included original game also benefited from some improvements they made for Burst.
Well, there IS a Direct tomorrow... this announcement can't be a coincidence, can it?

That's correct. Burst means we essentially get two games at once.

It'll be funny to see how they advertise this game tomorrow on the Direct. To be honest all of the games coming from this franchise look like crap, but 3DS version probably has the highest sales potential considering the Vita software situation.

I'm loving all this salt from the Vita fans, but now I hope they throw a curveball and say it's actually SV. Then we'll get the salt from the other half as well.
Ahhhh
aw man, dreams crushed! oh well
also: digital only, it seems. bummer. can't say it's surprising though, lol. can you imagine this thing on store shelves? xD

I microwave steaks.
Now I'm even more confused. There is no region lock on the Vita besides it's one account system. Which means everyone has the opportunity to play the game (provided they import), on the 3ds side it's a completely different story.
You think it's an objective conensus though?

Oh, that's true. EU always gets the sort end of the localization stick it seems

It's too bad it's the 3DS version, I won't be able to play it due to region lock and being in EU and all.
Hopefully they'll bring the Vita one soon.

Rated "T"? That's quite unexpected.
When I speak of region locks, I speak from the perspective of an EU gamer who can get shafted easily. As the Siliconera article confirmed, this title has only been announced for NA via DD. So where does that leave the rest of us?
