https://automaton-media.com/en/news/senran-kagura-developer-honey-parade-games-may-return-to-console-games-going-forward-marvelous-ceo-says/>While fans of the Honey Parade brand have been missing its full-priced games, it seems the studio could be coming back to console releases in the future. While presenting Marvelous’s future policy regarding its subsidiaries, president and CEO Shinichi Terui mentioned that going forward, the company is considering a focus not only on online games, but entry into the consumer game business (referring to full-priced console/PC games).>On a related note, the studio appears to be faring well financially, with Terui mentioning stable performance from Dolphin Wave and licensing royalties from Shinobi Master Senran Kagura: New Link as drivers of revenue.It looks like Marvelous is going to depend on Honey Parade to carry them harder going forward, after the huge flop of Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion and Tencent pulling their investment bucks out of Marvelous.(DxM flop)https://corp.marv.jp/english/library/img/result4q2026.pdf>DAEMON X MACHINA TITANIC SCION, the latest title in the “DAEMON X MACHINA” series released in September, performed poorly and fell significantly short of the initial sales plan.>Although sales increased significantly year on year due to the release of three new console game titles, a segment loss was recorded due to the underperformance of DAEMON X MACHINA TITANIC SCION and Browser Sangokushi Ten.
I can't wait for a game filled with 30 year old women in burkas made for the modern audience! The Ethics Department will be so happy!
>lose chinkbux>DEI AAA game bombs catastrophically>finally comes crawling back after 10 fucking yearsI don't forgive them desu. They are active race traitors who've proven they'll sell themselves to Jewish devils when the time comes again.
>>744608129I'm going to have to see what it looks like before I'm willing to trust again.
They have an unannounced game listed in their console section. If they're telling shareholders about a console game it's probably getting announced within the next 6 or so months...
>Senrans with safety shortsNo thank you.
They sold themselves to the chinks and the west, they can rot in hell for all I care.
>>744608315>Their clothes still come off in battle
>>744608129good luck with that after fucking over the series for so long
>>744608579They're doing this because Honey Parade is their only studio that makes any money now (it's even rumored that Marvelous First Studio has closed and employess folded into other studios after DxM). They really have to be careful
>>744608129But can they make it good this time?
>>744608315>>744608727>>744608814Its fucked.
>>744609452Already uninterested. What I really wanted them to do was make an SK game where they are all in middle school but it seems like the opposite will happen.
>>744608129But can they make a Senran game that's actually decent?
>>744608129Are you prepared for Deep Crimson to get the Blue Reflection Quartet treatment? Get ready for>no clothing damage>no touch screen or mic reactions in the Dressing Room>no skirt physics, glued to the characters at all times>underwear customization neutered or doesn't exist at all>safety spats>no bust slider/Bustification DLC>Mirai reduced to an NPC because lolis r haram to the Islamic State of BurgerclapstanAll this just so it can release on Shittendo Shitch and Shiteam. You don't hate Nintendo and Valve enough, they were supposed to save us from this faggotry, but instead they looked at Sony's policies and said "hold my beer". How the fuck did Google and Apple of all companies become the last semi-safe havens for anime girl ecchi in games?
>>744609452>form that suits the current erayeah shit's dead.
Senran Kagura is kusoge.
>>744608129Want an idea of what a new console Senran Kagura game would look like? Go play Nepran Ninja Wars now and despair. That game was so tame that the fucking crossover banner with New Link was arguably more risque than the game it was promoting.
>>744611883It’s that or the game gets banned from everywhere. Go look at Tokyo Clanpool or LoveR Kiss for what happens when you try to release a CERO D fanservice game like was common pre-COVID in current year.
>>744608129>censored slop thats meant to appeal to coomerslol, lmao even
>>744614267On the Neptunia note the new mainline game has been completely absent from the Eshop SW2 Top 30 and SW1 Top 100 (!!!) despite Eshop pre orders going up the other day. It's clear the severe toning down it got hit with (not even any swimsuit dlc) crippled it. One can only assume this new Senran will be going nowhere too. Both games are basically hail mary's of their respective companies after year of flops...
>>744614267they shouldn't even bother then if they can't make what people actually want, better off spending their time firebombing CERO HQ
>>744614606It’s not CERO, it’s Sony, Nintendo and Valve. These companies need to pool their remaining funds into a pressure group to try and petition the Japanese government to make Sony and Nintendo cut this shit out. They can’t do anything about Valve because it’s an American company, but they can and should smack Sony and Nintendo for this.
>>744614571Compile Heart make their games now with the intention of selling them in the west from the start. Japanese sales are just a tertiary concern to them and I don’t doubt they knew neutering it would alienate Japanese fans further but don’t care as long as it sells decently in the west. Only if Neptunia Unlimited also flops in the west will Compile Heart take notice, that is if it doesn’t just kill them completely.
>>744615189If it's following the pattern of every other Compile Heart Steam release in the last few years it will release and then be 80% off in the very next month
>>744615332A sad downfall for what was once the face of otaku fanservice JRPGs during the PS3/Vita era. Toeing the party line to sell in the west to absolutely no one until it kills them.
>>744612008coomers will gladly eat up whatever garbage as long as the characters give them a boner
>>744614839Otakuslaves would probably scream at them for daring to challenge Nintendo lol. Expecting Japs to do anything but "ma... shouganai" in the face of their overlords is a very high ask.
>>744615332dunno how they haven't realized otaku games do not appeal to normalfags
>>744616194Compile Heart got taken over by a guy from EA of all places lmao. Their old president went to Acacia and their game is beloved in Japan and outsold all CH games since 2020 combined.
>>744608129You can't even release a CERO C/Teen-rated ecchi game in current year without 4Kids-levels of censorship. How exactly do they plan to go about this without completely shitting on their fanbase?
