Senran Kagura as a videogame franchise might be over, but as long as they keep making Yumi figures it will never die.

Those games suck.

is this recent? do they still make sk merchandise?

>>717130163 (OP)
>Cast off
I require images of what the nipples look like

>>717130591
Literally went up preorder today

>Yumi

What kind of life is that?

>>717133070
>literal 11/10 wife material that will dote on you endlessly and have lots of kids

oh, these are 1/6s. i thought she and asuka were 1/4 and was gonna just skip them

why is yumi's hair so goddamn long here btw

I still believe

>>717134042

Yeah, but...its Yumi.

>>717134042
Eh, I hate her archtype...
And they made her even worse with the babu shit she got talked into by Ryouna.

>>717134404
new link did everything 7 would've done and more

>>717135592

Well not everyone can/got to play New Link, they should do it again on consoles.

>>717130163 (OP)

>>717131101
>>717131902

I hate Yumi and I purchased 4 figures of her just to support the franchise

>>717137860

Wow. Appreciated, but wow.

I guess it's fine to pretend Yumi actually matters now that the two actual main characters are fucking dead.

I just wish they hadn't wasted so much time faffing around with this irrelevant shitter while the franchise was still alive.

>>717138706
stfu

>>717138706
They won't stay dead. Or if they do the gacha will be relegated to a separate timeline and never touched again so Asuka and Homura can be alive again.

>>717130163 (OP)
God i wish real women looked like this

>>717138991
The fuck are they gonna do with another timeline? It's not just Asuka and Homura who are dead. So is Shin. And there was only one Shin across every timeline, which was the whole point of doing timeline bullshit: so that they could bring Deep Crimson's story development into the more successful spinoff timeline.

The main villain they spent eight games building toward is no more. Franchise over.

>>717139782

Retcons and non canon exist.

The gacha killed Asuka and Homura? Are you fucking kidding me?

yumi a shit
a shit

Necesito mas Murasaki.

>>717141559
mercy killed

>>717139782
Really? They really did just torch the whole franchise then. I guess it is true that Marvelous wants nothing more to do with Senran Kagura, which makes that statement they made at a recent executive meeting a total lie; they never had any intentions of bringing this series back. Fucking traitorous assholes to the very end. I'm glad I stopped supporting them completely after they pozzed Rune Factory. May they burn with their favored woman and faggot audience!

>>717141559
No, they're just locked away in the NOTHING dimension.
Kagura is dead though, because Kokoro is dead.

>>717141605
You a shit.

>>717141746

Calm down man, they can always just call the gacha non canon or a "what if" or something. Its not like they're gonna put too much emphasis on a game over half the world can't play.

>>717130591
They just had a stream for oppai day announcing a bunch of merchandise.

>>717141746
No Shin, no youma, no reason for shinobi to exist.
The end date of NL was when Guardians of Geardia released. Until it was pushed back to S2.
It was deliberate that they killed off the series when releasing "You can be so gay" Factory. And it's the best selling Rune Factory so they'll only double down.
Marvelous is dead.

>>717134404
we will get new link 2 openworld genshin clone too

>>717141559
Asuka became god and Homura became her partner in dimensional travel. Kagura died, Shin died, yoma are no longer a thing, and Naraku lost her powers. Everyone else is alive (except Ryoki because of course).

>>717141946
And if they ever make a new console game all that will be ignored.

>>717141837
I'm not buying a single fucking thing from them unless they make a new game. How dare they parade around the corpse of a once-beloved franchise like this!

>>717141992
Sure, they can always just reboot the whole thing or excuse it with it being another timeline I guess.

>>717141992
Ah yes, the company that hares SK and killed it would make another SK game ever.

>>717142090

They absolutely will. They'd be fools to kill off that many popular characters for good. And like Anon said, they won't put much emphasis on a gacha no one outside Japan played. Thats just bad business.

And damn thats a good looking Ikaruga.

>>717130591
>we won't make a racist sexist game like that CHUD, grow up
>so how about a lewd figure? Our farming sims don't sell very well

>>717142201
They won't. Are you stupid?

>>717142312

No, you're just too pessimistic.

>>717142237
If Marvelous dies, do you think anyone will buy the rights to Senran Kagura? Please don't be a chink or gook company.

>>717141746
You make it sound like they burnt it down out of spite. It was nothing so dire.

Games in this series were not financially viable. Blame whatever and whomever you like for that, but it was reality. But they did have big titty anime girls, so they could still make it work with a gacha. However, like any live service game, that stops being financially viable eventually, too.

They didn't end in the middle of an arc. They saw the writing on the wall and gave it a real ending. Do you realize how few dying franchises get to do that?

Actually, it looks like they've had this ending planned since Deep Crimson. They spent so many games without advancing an overarching plot because they were ready to end it any time. Had Shinovi not been such a hit, they were probably going to end it with Senran Kagura 3.

>>717142536
Well, technically speaking Takaki wanted the very first game to end with everyone dead.

>>717130591
they had a stream yesterday https://youtube.com/watch?v=CdcnRNmAi7g

>>717142597
EVERYONE DIES?

>>717142691

The Hanzo and Hebijo teams, anyway. The teachers might have lived. He changed his mind when he realized this could be a franchise.

>>717142368
The company is ran by people that think anime is violence against women. No way in hell is something like this ever again.

>>717142774
I wasn’t asking you, YOU DONT EVEN CARE FOR MY FUCKING DRAWINGS

>>717142597
>>717142691
>with everyone dead
Not everyone, just Homura's team. Them surviving at the end was literally hand waved like
>look, homura and the rest are over there and alive!
In one interview they even mentioned that they had to rewrite and add some scenes to the game because the rival characters were unexpectedly popular.

>>717142536
Because it was simple spite.

>>717142830
No, the original plan was a Hanzo/Hebijo mutual kill. Because life as a shinobi sucks.

>>717141946
>except Ryoki
I don't know why that was so funny to me. The rest of that sounds fucking miserable though I'm glad I skipped the gacha.

>>717142536
>Games in this series were not financially viable.
Oh piss off, this was one of the best selling series of its type and was Marvelous' flagship series throughout the 2010s. It served a niche and it served it well. Burst ReNewal was a top seller on Steam when it released, and that was past its peak on the Vita.

These girls own me sex

>>717143079
Kumo, my beloved...

Never forget what Marvelous took from you.

>>717143258
>Mirai with boobs
Hang yourself

Why don't they make a Soulslike? They would make back all the money they wasted on the shitty action games in a week.

>>717142904
I only know the interview mentioning what I said, never seen anything about all of them dying anywhere except in these threads.

>>717142913
I mean, at the very least everyone else is okay, they just didn't do any kind of prologue or anything telling what everyone's whereabouts was, the ending also had Yumi and Miyabi saying "I'm sure we'll see them again". There's also a timeskip with the two sisters from the gacha already in high school and expecting new students to arrive, so shinobi are still a thing.

>>717143258
Toss this in with the other timelime...

>>717143342

Thats a nice Shiki.

>>717143436
don’t ignore me nigga you can sell this pussy nigga

>>717143460
FUCK YO GLORY NIGGA

Babu made bubu.

hey nigga

>>717143497
he really pisses me off

>>717143245
we’ll have to draw more kumo like we do when we study aka with better results

>>717143006
It was doing great in the 2010's.
We're currently halfway through the 2020's.

Shinobi only existed to kill Kokoro.
She's in hell now, so no more youma.
Meaning any future shinobi are just there out of spite, since the stupid set of rules was there to kill demons that no longer exist. So following these stupid self-destructive and esoteric processes no one actually gets is just autism.

>>717143967
Look at all those Senran games from the 2020s like... Kagurun.

>>717143967
I will keep it alive with my drawing powers don’t you worry I’ll have to keep being persistent

>>717142775
I don't doubt that Marvelous is pozzed, but the bigger problem is that same mentality now runs through all the major retail video game storefronts. The same policies that saw Burst ReNewal censored and 7Even buried are now in place virtually everywhere and intensifying. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Steam, even GOG, all of them forbid games like Senran Kagura now. Takaki was right when he said this would not stay contained to Playstation. Even if Marvelous themselves weren't pozzed, there's little they can do about this. They don't have the clout to bend any of these major corporations to make them allow these games.

>>717144040

>>717144034
The "secret" purpose of shinobi was to hunt yoma, but that doesn't mean their usual good vs evil deal can't keep happening.
One of the arcs in the gacha involved human experimentation with yoma for example, shit like that can easily be brought up for a new plot. There's two games that involve competitions on the beach that came out of nowhere, any excuse works with enough imagination.

>>717130163 (OP)
I want a Peach Beach Splash 2. All those white bikinis..

>>717144495
This fucking pic again I’m surprised you’re still around

>>717144223
And those same powers that be are banning action games, horror games, and even their beloved lgbtq+ games.
I wonder of those types will realize they were useful idiots.

>>717144638
>There's two games that involve competitions on the beach
To fight youma.
Really only Peach Ball was free of youma plot, because it was just about Haruka making meth.

>>717144495
you piss me off

Since half the people in here don't even seem to know what the last story arc was:
>arbitrarily large number of years ago, kagura and shin were friends
>some bullshit with a dragon happened and now kagura is basically god and shin is satan
>btw pls disregard that we established a long time ago that asuka and homura are stronger than kagura
>anyway shin is here so kagura and naraku go fight her
>they lose and asuka and homura show up
>kagura gives her power to asuka then dies
https://youtu.be/mpiluEVwTWg
>shin flees into a pocket dimension or some shit and asuka follows
>asuka is losing because shin caught her off guard by pretending to still be kagura's friend
>homura is sad that asuka can never come back
>naraku gives her power to homura then doesn't die
>homura joins asuka and they kill shin
>it sure fucking looks like they die too but maybe that's just artistic and they're only trapped forever
>during the credits we pretend that anything that happened between deep crimson and now mattered

>>717144980
thx

We need to appease Asuka and Homura by sending an anon as tribute.

>>717144638

Now theres a kaiju invasion thats easy on the eyes.

>>717145114
you really fucking piss me off

>>717144638
>pic
Would.
Also Dekamori 2 when? I don't think that was about youma at all.

>>717145201
you’re pissing me off

>>717145201
>would
Which one?

>>717144841
The only mention of yoma in those games were at the very end, but the games themselves were just an excuse for the girls to fight each other and give some more intertal conflicts to the characters.

>>717144980
>btw pls disregard that we established a long time ago that asuka and homura are stronger than kagura
That was never stablished, Kagura never fought at full power because if she did, she was going to turn back into a ball. That's because Asuka only won because Kagura gave her her power.

Guess they'd better get to making a replacement.

>>717145440

God Asuka is cute.

>>717145365
Ryona or any of them I'm not picky

>>717145440
>but the games themselves were just an excuse for the girls to fight each other
That's every game.

>>717144980
Oh so they're not dead. They're just a couple of gods stuck in subspace for eternity with nothing to do but spar and fuck.

>>717145561
Yeah, but at least the first game is justified and SK2 actually had more to it than just "an ancient festival is going on so all of you have to compete in it".

>>717130163 (OP)
I am cum

>>717145815
That actually sounds like the best outcome for both of them.

>>717148939
What are your thoughts on the current state of the Senran Kagura franchise

>>717146754
I believe you

>>717149294
we must keep the series alive even through hard times like Charles Bronson in hard times
first the credit card companies targeted Japanese doujin websites such as dlsite and Fantia and now they want to go after Ero games and it’s no doubt this type of behavior is what killed Senran Kagura in the first place and gacha is just a watered down version of what it wants to go for because not even Action Taimanin could have such a thing like intimacy mode which is what I was looking forward to when it was announced only to be disappointed it would not at least share some mechanics with its ecchi counterpart if they really were going for cold turkey vanilla

>>717149294
and another thing that is real upsetting is the fact that even a simple game like the endless runner is region locked even if they toned down the panty shots it seems although I only seen a preview of it a long time ago so who knows if they changed it since then

>>717149972
>>717150149
Thank you

>>717145896
so what even is dolphin wave?
some race/drive-by game on jetski?

>>717150860
They ride jet skis and shoot each other around an arena. The gameplay itself is just an auto battler.

>>717130163 (OP)
Toki is more popular than Yumi these days amongst the Japs.

>>717130163 (OP)
God, they made her and Asuka thicc with this release. Now if only we could get a new god damn game with character models that look as good.

>>717148907
Quiero oler su culo.

all it takes is for an indie dev to 1. not be a coward and 2. use crypto

Isn't she the one that wears diapers?
