15 pounds shipping to mainland (or just Greece didn't check the rest) for the regular version. Yeah, sure guys.

 

[Snkfanatic]

The japanese box art is better.

Hmm that's not what my Japanese box looks like....at least I don't think

 

[Galdelico]

Physical edition is only available from their store ? Fuck that.

Won't buy it, simple as that.

Edit: hahahaha they want 16 euros for shipping for the normal edition, fuck off Marvelous.

In their FAQ they wrote they'll sell the game in stores too, if there's enough demand. I assume at least the standard edition will make it to the shelves, just like EU Burst.

But yeah, due to the funny shipping costs and to their disclaimer about how they're still 'hoping' to release the game completely uncensored (which leads me to believe there are chances it may be edited?), I'm not gonna preorder yet.

This is what my Japanese box looks like

 

[Malick[AI]]

This and Onechanbara coming west! What a great morning.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Hehe same here, but the actual game's cover is different than the one posted earlier. Maybe the LE got a different cover...

 

[Lyte Edge]

So US gets the OST again? Cool, the one that came with SV was surprisingly good, so hopefully the same will apply to SK2.

Yay for DLC also being confirmed, if I recall, one was a shmup + ton of customization items (clothing, hair, swimsuits, etc.), another was Ikaruga's brother as a playable character (who also can be unlocked by having save data from Burst), & the 3rd was, I think, the ability to change the chest size of the characters.

This was probably already answered, but-

The first set of DLC turns most of the characters into super-deformed/chibi versions of themselves. (Mirai did it!) Unfortunately, their movesets are limited in this form. There's five levels and new story added for this DLC. Once finished, you can use the chibi versions in other modes.

The second set of DLC turns the game into a horizontal shooter. Five levels with completely unrelated/nonsensical story.

The last set of DLC is another five levels and is once again Mirai's doing. The breast sizes are all over the place-- finish this and you can then make any character flat as a board, give them DDs, or anything in-between.

GIVE IT TO ME NOW!

It's so weird to see this series getting the tamest boxarts in Japan.

DLC

Thanks for the clarification

Ohhhh that cover is legit.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

My wallet is already weeping this month... Why... Why you do this?

 

[Tohsaka]

Nice that we're getting a physical release in the US this time, will buy for sure.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Also cannot praise the game enough for its performance-- the framerate is buttery smooth and the graphics are a nice step up from SK1/Burst. You don't get those extra characters from Shinovi Versus, however the characters move sets and abilities were changed so that most of the characters feel pretty differently from each other. I'm not a fan of loli characters but Mirai is just too good in this game -you can switch between three different weapons (umbrella, machine gun, and bazooka)- plus with that 3rd DLC, no more loli Mirai for me, lol.

You are making me want to play my import copy...but I will hold off.

 

[so1337]

Awesome. Will buy and never play, like all the other SK games.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

They updated the cart information. It reads now:

You cannot add "SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson Pre-order" to the cart because the product is out of stock.
Sorry, "SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson Pre-order" is not in stock. Please edit your cart and try again. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

If you read any of the articles you can see that it has been confirmed.

I was on my 15 minute when I posted so I didn't get to thoroughly read the article but this is the best news I've heard.

Spoiler

Now bring the extra editor goodies to US?

You have it and haven't played it? PLAY IT NOW! >

Whoa whoa whoa. Wait a minute. Time out. What editor?

Its worth importing i got my copy while i was at pax.

yeah we can't preorder yet

next step should be us getting the extras too ;_;

 

[Astarte]

O
flat chests and really big ones.
I think another DLC is getting chibi characters too. The shoot em up is to stop giant characters destroying the town.

Wow the flat chests don't look good on the characters at all lol

 

[Snkfanatic]

You have it and haven't played it? PLAY IT NOW! >

I just played through SKV and BA not long ago. Also waiting for my import of SK EV next month lol...maybe I will boot it up this weekend just for a slight tease of it.

 

[TomShoe]

This is important:

Makes sense. No way in hell could I go to Best Buy and look the cashier in the eye and buy this.

 

[L~A]

Whoa whoa whoa. Wait a minute. Time out. What editor?

Probably a typo. Edition, not editor

 

[LiK]

Makes sense. No way in hell could I go to Best Buy and look the cashier in the eye and buy this.

just look down at the counter when they're scanning it. no eye contact needed.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

So strange seeing all of the games in this series come over, PS4 one must be a certainty at this point.

Anyway, yeah SK2 is a bit different if all you've played is the first one/Burst on 3DS. More in common with the Vita one. Just watch out for that at times frustrating tutorial

 

[Corgi]

i bought versus at gamestop. the cashier dude gave me the nod. I nodded back. Went on with my day.

 

[Immaculate]

the NA physical release is going to be available everywhere right?

 

[A Huge Battleship]

No, it's a spoiler.
If I remember well, it's

Spoiler

adult Kagura or something like that. it's a bit complicated.

This confused me even more until I realised there’s a character with that name. Thanks.

 

[Zonic]

Should be. SV was available at multiple places like Amazon & GameStop (where I picked my copy up).

 

[LiK]

most likely since it's XSEED

 

[Shizuka]

I'm not fond of the american cover, but I'm in for one retail copy.

great probably going physical then. i have the strongest urge to replay Burst now

 

[joe2187]

Is the US edition up for pre-order yet?

 

[ramoisdead]

Gonna get me dat double D edition.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

Whoa whoa whoa. Wait a minute. Time out. What editor?

Auto correct, sorry! Just coming off graveyard shift that was supposed to be edition!

Nope, not yet.

hilarious XD

 

[Serenade_King]

Physical release... damn, I will have to buy it even if I don't like the 3DS/ have no plans on buying one. The game looks really good and I love how the monsters look but aside from SK there is nothing else that I care for in 3DS. If only Megaman Legends 3 wasn't cancelled I could convince myself to buy the handheld...

Spoiler

I make myself sad remembering that Megaman is dead. T_T

 

[MQX]

I'm happy with this announcement. But I'm disappointed with these prices and "Only available through our website" .

If these prices were in Euro's and the shipping costs were also cheap(and not almost ~€20), then I would've pre-ordered the Happy Boobs Edition or Shinobi Collectors Edition. But after seeing these prices, smh.

Spoiler

And what's with those British publishers that don't think about the Euro's/European fan/customers? Don't they know that European fans/çustomers have to pay ~€65 for a normal edition while in Europe this game would normally cost €40-€45? Smh.

 

[BuckRobotron]

Will preorder when made available at Amazon, as with SV.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

GameInformer still hasnt posted about Onechanbara or SK2 coming to the west now even hours later, chances are when that happens, thats when the games will be available for preorder through GameStop. I used to be a manager at one, theyve always been notoriously late... Associates always knew well before corporate ever did.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Record of Agarest War Naughty Edition slipped by, and I guess America wasn't having anymore of that

 

[Nabae]

Assuming it's readily available, I'll support the physical edition. From my experience though, Amazon.ca and EB Games usually don't make pre-orders available until days after their American counterparts. Wonder how long I'll be waiting this time.

 

[jholmes]

What about Canada, XSeed?

Yeah, I saw that and I'm a bit concerned too. They can't just block us off, right?

 

[Zonic]

Think this'll be $30 again like Burst, or $40 to cover the OST bonus?

 

[Immaculate]

Think this'll be $30 again like Burst, or $40 to cover the OST bonus?

$40 is my guess, was there a difference in price between the vita digital version and retail version of shinovi versus?
