Gamer.ne.jp recently conducted an interview with Kenichiro Takaki, the producer of the Senran Kagura series, and a famous Japanese video game collector known as Sakekan. Among other things, they talked about their experience with the Switch so far, playing it in public places as well as the upcoming Switch title Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura. The folks at Siliconera translated the interview; below are a few choice quotes:
Sakekan: It feels like it’s been a while since you’ve worked on a Nintendo platform.
Takaki: The Switch is great. I like it.
Sakekan: Again, it’s a little tough to evaluate something that’s been out for only a month [at the time of the interview], but I can certainly feel the immense sense of expectations.
Takaki: You know, after playing it on the TV and then taking it outside, as in actually having it out there your everyday life, I feel that it is a lot more convenient than I expected.
Sakekan: Do you? Outside?
Takaki: Yes, I do. I’m always playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the train, although I didn’t bring it today. I occasionally see other people playing, but it moves me when I look back at the GameBoy days and think “I can play these kinds of games outdoors.”
Takaki: Well, I want to make what everyone has in mind about it become a reality. That’s actually the mindset I’ve had about creating things for the longest time.
Sakekan: So that must mean Shinobi Refle will be playable in trains [laughs]. But on a more serious note, I recall playing the first PS Vita Senran Kagura while on a train, and there I was playing thinking “What do I do? What do I do?” when it entered a stripping scene. I also played it on the train for 3DS, but still played with the conflict of whether I should just skip the scenes or just continue watching it.
Takaki: I really think that’s just part of it all. Like what kind of situation should I play and stuff.
Sakekan: But this time it won’t be about single scenes, but you’ll be looking [at a girl] the whole time, right? How is it going to work out?
Takaki: We’re also excited to find out [laughs].
Nobody cares about a shitty tech demo or Asuka.

Shut up Yumishitter.
Based Takaki
Welp, it looks like the Switch will not be getting Senran Kagura 7 and only will be getting a VN spinoff of the series from now on. Kinda disappointing that Nintendo platforms, where the series started on, which until this title had only mainline games of the series. It look Sony stepped their game up to the point of robbing Nintendo another okayish title.
Rip in pepperoni Nintendo...you tiredAt least best girl gets a standalone game

This is just a small spin-off.
It really means nothing about the future of the franchise.

Good, he likes it. And 3rd party support is growing, so hopefully 7 gets a port.
And is, ya know, good.

And stars Yumi.

This.
Appeal of a dating sim is having multiple girls and routes to choose from. In this you have only one (1) who the most boring in the cast.
It's a joke as both a game and a vn. The longer this series goes on the more I wish it would die.

Better than starring Asuka at least. DESU
