Europe is getting a wicked CE.
So jealous.
I imported the Nyuu Nyuu DX edition awhile back so this takes some of the sting out at least.

Awww. I mean, I'll still buy it, but this was the excuse I needed to finally own a booby mousepad. Ah, whatever. At least we get a nice physical edition this time.
Don't ask me why but I...accidentally looked up hug pillows a while back. Yeah :T

Will buy the hell out of the Double D edition as soon as it becomes available (hopefully on Amazon).

I messaged the xseed facebook page asking if there was anyway they would bring over the EU limited editions and I received this as a reply
"Wish we could, XXXXXX, but NA and PAL are two very different markets and our distribution strategies are very different too, so afraid the one "Double D" edition is all we can do in NA for SK2's release."

So again EU gets the better deal....guess I won't be buying Day 1 then. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that NA is getting a physical release but I don't believe is fair giving EU a bunch of LE while we get nothing. I wouldn't mind if this was on Vita cause then I and many other people can import to our hearts desire but this is 3DS we are talking about.

I might be wrong but didn't the exact opposite happen for Europe for Versus? We got a LE and it was only digital for them.

Havent bought the one on Vita yet because they shipped like 5 copies to my country, I saw the special edition the other day, but it was 85$ , so I passed.
But this on 3ds means day one, because I can just buy it digital because SD cards.

Yeah, but people that wanted the Versus LE could have imported while we can't because the 3DS is region locked.

Can't say anything about this game but for the first one on 3ds, the combat is much better than versus.

Nice... just wish I didn't import it but at least it was heavily discounted when I did.
Where can I pre-order the US version?

I'm on pins and needles waiting till I can pre-order the US one.
There's some discussion in the stream thread and the lttp thread for the JP version.
IMO, the combat's definitely more rich and layered than SKB, but it didn't feel as much fun as SV. The camera in SK2 is quite bad, and since it's not behind your back for regular stages, it's very easy to miss your specials. Chasing wasn't as much fun either, since they're much less dynamic and harder to pull off. I also miss the more cinematic specials, which only happen when you use a teamup attack.
Characters now have multiple stances, like Mirai having three different gun types, Hikage being able to go into her purple glow snakey mode, or Katsuragi being able to float on wind wheels. It makes everybody feel a little more unique. Boss battles are also a major step up for the series, really enjoyed them.
Feel free to ask if there's anything else you might want to know.
Good god, no it's not.
It is if you like beatemups more than musou games.

They want some of that Atlus tax.
SV isn't a musou.
Gameplay is similar to musou games imo.

Do XSEED games get stocked at Best Buy? Wonder if waiting to use GCU would be viable.

I never see screenshots of actual gameplay in threads for these kinds of games -__-

Bad points:
- awful camera
- bad AI (stages prior to boss are just there to waste your time, they provide no challenge even if you are in Frantic mode)
- Boss battle is okay (especially in the Final Battle). But once you get to level 10 or so, it's getting really easy and repetitive. Hell when I was doing the extra story, I kept running around avoiding the boss just to read all the text without ending the fight in 5 seconds.
- some of combo attacks don't translate well to 3D environments, also they remove air Ninja Art for whatever reasons
Good points:
+ better graphic
+ more characters to play as
+ Yumi
Unfortunately these good points I found weren't for combat.
Well, that sounds pretty good actually except for the camera of course, but then again the camera wasn't that great on SV either.
I thought this game was 2d(2.5d?) not 3d like shinovi versus though?
It's more like Shinovi Versus with a fixed camera and smaller areas. There are a few specific larger environments where it's pretty much the same perspective as SV, like the Youma boss fights.

Thats more that what i paid to import it.
Just did a quick search on amazon and I found the Shinku Nyuu Nyuu whatever pack for 37$ with free shipping,I'm so tempted to buy it just for those figures. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I5FPQT2/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Ah I see how that may be a pain then, I think I'm gonna buy it though hopefully I'll find a good deal on a 3ds by then.
Thanks
You're forgetting the parries, blocking, cancels, framerate, overall responsiveness. The combat in Shinovi Versus is actually far deeper than that of Senran Kagura Burst by default just for the inclusion of these things alone. The removal of air supers, while unfortunate, does nothing to actually water down the actual gameplay. Whether or not Senran Kagura 2 changes things is another story entirely.
I absolutely never had an issue with the camera in Shinovi Versus. People who say this usually never played Ninja Gaiden or other action games in the past that required recentering. As long as you liberally tap the recenter button, it's not a problem.
I can totally understand preferring a 2D plane and you enjoying it more, but there's no way that the combat in Burst is somehow better than the combat in Shinovi Versus.
