Japanese video game English localisation news - 27

Featuring:

  • Little Battlers eXperience (3DS) (otherwise known as "LBX")
  • Senran Kagura: Estival Versus (PS4 / PS Vita)
  • Corpse Party – Blood Drive (PS Vita)


Little Battlers eXperience (3DS) (otherwise known as "LBX")

Comes out tomorrow in North America (21st August).
Release date in Europe: 04 September 2015

It's another Level-5 game which has an anime tie-in. It's about small robots fighting each other.

The original name of the series was Danboru Senki as in "Cardboard Military History" (though the main fan wiki like to call in Danball Senki for some reason, which I think makes it sound more like some sports thing).

Someone's fouled up the wikipedia page on this series, sticking "Little Battlers eXperience" all over it when that wasn't the name of the older Japanese games or anime, if you are trying to find them. Kind of irritating.

I found a review of the game here:

Senran Kagura: Estival Versus (PS4 / PS Vita)

Official European version website

PRE-ORDER – Expected ship date February 2016

Featuring the biggest roster of fighters to date, SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS is overflowing with explosive ninja moves, outrageous clothes-clearing combos and a scintillating storyline. All previous characters return, with new moves and upgraded skills along with a host of new characters further expanding the roster with new challenges and techniques to master.

The sexy Shinobis are taken to a parallel dimension, where sun-soaked islands are the perfect backdrop for the girls to do battle once more.

Online multiplayer matches, allows up to 10 (PS4) or 4 (PS Vita) players to battle it out at once.

Pre-orders are open from Marvelous. According to the FAQ, they're going to release the same version in Europe as XSEED will release in the US - so it's XSEED who will choose to make any edits and choose the overall release date.

There are *lots* of European special editions available in their shop. The most expensive are sold out already. They are making them to-order, so - they are only making as many as they get pre-orders.
