posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
During the Nintendo Direct presentation on Thursday, producer Kenichirō Takaki of the game company Marvelous revealed Shinobi Rifure -Senran Kagura-, the tentatively titled new installment in the Senran Kagura game series. The presentation teased an image visual of the character Asuka for the game. Takaki added that the game will utilize the Switch's "HD Rumble" feature, and he humorously noted that his team is researching the feature by studying pudding and balloons.
The franchise began with the release of the original Senran Kagura game on the Nintendo 3DS in September 2011. The games inspired a television anime in 2013. Funimation streamed the series as it aired in Japan, and released it on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in 2014.
The latest game release in the series is Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash, a PlayStation 4 game that shipped in Japan on March 16. XSEED Games will release the game in North America and Europe.
