Vita memory cards breathe a sigh of relief. Originally released on PSN, Senran Kagura's rhythm cooking game spin-off will now get a packaged retail release in Japan.

Senran Kagura: Bon Appetit is getting a retail release in Japan on November 27 for 4,320 yen, this week’s Famitsu reveals.

Additionally, a combo pack including Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus will also be released for 7,020 yen.

First-print run copies of the game will include a visual book and soundtrack CD. You’ll also find download codes for Daidouji-Senpai and Rin, as well a 48-image character avatar icon set.

Game's due out in America and Europe later this year on PSN.

Dubious move.

I'm not an expert about MAQL's history, but I'm beginning to suspect they are awful at handling their franchises.

 

[Nightengale]

Expected.

Retail is king in Japan.

 

[Thoraxes]

May actually not get the digital version of the western release now.

Physical is king for me, and I have some coupons.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

XSEED, you know what to do.

 

[GuardianE]

XSEED, you know what to do.

Yes, please.

 

[RMI]

physical release for NA would be nice too.

 

[GuardianE]

wyrdwad pls

 

[Josephl64]

I purchased both packs for the Japanese release and will purchase the game again in physical form...I am fine with this

 

[psylah]

Senrans be cookiiiiiiiiiiiiin'

 

[joe2187]

I need sweet physical release

 

[Mass_Pincup]

With Shinovi Versus getting a very limited retail version I guess there's no chance for this? Prove me wrong Xseed.

 

[Koppai]

XSEED, you know what to do.

Came here to say this!

Come on XSEED plzzzz

 

[Koren]

Physical is king for me

For me, too, but damn, the Vita slot is awful. It's as if they designed it to push you buying digital.

 

[MSMrRound]

Yet another localization pre-release announcement by developers to screw xseed over.

Happened with Acquire and the PS4 version of Akiba's Trip, now this. As predicted, now everyone is going "xseed plz", "you know what to do Tom".

Let's see the release of Shinovi Versus first. Even as a SK fan, I just don't see retailers lapping a physical version of Bon Appetit.

Oh well, time will tell I suppose.

 

[ricardokenshin]

damnit! I bought the digital one and spent a lot of time in it, all those trophies and dlc

 

[Nyoro SF]

Your move, XSEED!

 

[kahboomkin]

I believe in XSEED

 

[HawthorneKitty]

There's also a double pack to get both Shinovi Versus and Dekamori, so jelly.

 

[Shizuka]

The covers are pretty great, keeping it classy.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

My guess is that since SK2 bombed on 3DS, they plan on make Vita the main platform for the series, and the first change is more retail software on Vita, because the IP needs presence on that portable instead of relegating spin-off to digital.

Now the question is if Xseed will eventually do a retail version &/or do that double pack to include SV.

Pretty much this!

Prove us wrong again!

And then bring some awesome LE of Estival Versus as well!

So where do I order from?

 

[PAULINK]

I don't see this getting localized (physical copy) but that is awesome. Can't wait to get the game digitally this year.

 

[FloppyDelux]

XSEED, you know what to do.

im sure they will wait to see how Shinovi Versus does first...

 

[fedexpeon]

What is this game about?
Cooking Mama with teenagers?
