Sorry, I thought Sony snuck in a stealth update or something.
Also, Tom you are awesome.

Sorry, I thought Sony snuck in a stealth update or something.
Also, Tom you are awesome.
I'm curious as well. I thought incompatible games didn't boot, but since this one is...
Or was there another issue that needed to be patched?
When you try to start, you'll get a notice that says "This game is not compatible with PlayStation TV." Or something along those lines. And then get booted back to the game's splash page.
EDIT: Or, maybe the game's working already? If so, that's quicker than expected! Thanks for the heads up, Iskander!
I haven't laid my hands on an American PSTV yet, but Japanese Vita TV is a finicky beast. Those of you who have one (especially if you don't have an actual Vita) may find that it's a bit of a mixed blessing, as every single game that comes out from now on will have a big question mark next to it for a while as you're left wondering, will I even be able to play it? And if so, when?
It's almost like being on a coffee high, filled with constant anxiety.
Some will feel right at home. Others may not be able to handle it, and will be driven mad. And others still may be absorbed into the device, never to be heard from again. Those are the ones... who BECOME the game...
...Er... Scratch that last part. That doesn't happen. Really. It "doesn't." I "swear."

Oh, I couldn't find any of these on the SK store page. Good to know, I got Asuka and Ikaruga. I'd probably get a Katsuragi, Yumi and Yozakura, if they were available.

bad gameplay lol
My copy was ordered yesterday from Best Buy, with free (slow) shipping.
It's scheduled to be here tomorrow.
HOW.

Yeah, I started mine earlier too. Awesome that it's up so soon. I wasn't expecting to be able to play it for a while.

Still sort of on the fence about this game, due to backlog, but this might have pushed me over.

Senran on the TV just tried it out.
So good.

I'm also having the Amazon.ca issue even though I ordered July 31....
Wow, either I'm underleveled, or the game's rather harder. Tried Asuka's first set of character missions & got a C, then D (barely survived the 2nd mission). Maybe I should've started with the main missions.
Also, hold L or R & tilt the Vita before & after a mission when your character's on the screen.

The hero we both need and deserve.
A thousand blessings on this man.

So are there going to be more Senran Kagura games localized? Because if so count me in.

Bon Appetite is at least
Does anyone have a nice scan of the soundtrack cover? I need it so I can attach it to the soundtrack; just ripped it to my computer.
Also, I managed to get through the entire first and halfway through the second Hanzo chapters (and some Akiba's Trip) before my Vita started showing signs of battery dying, so I can now post some early impressions.
Wow. This game is every bit worth the hype and anxiety I went through for it. The payoff. Sogood. The graphics are gorgeous, and the battle is much more tricky. Despite the fact I've been getting D Grade on almost every mission, I've been having so much fun. It feels like clothes are easier to rip this time around. Or at least faster to rip. Either way, this is a great thing, because victory poses look twice as awesome when my character's clothes are torn to shreds. That could be just my preference, though.
The characters fighting styles all still feel true to their Burst counterparts, but at the same time, feel completely different. All the characters in Hanzo are a joy to play as.
Except freakin' Hibari.
I like her as a character, but damn do I hate playing as her. Despite the fact that her attacking skills have improved, I still cant find a way to use her without making it feel like a battle of attrition.
Final note, Panty Lottery is addictive; I spent fifteen minutes in that mode alone. Watch your Zeni.

I wish they had DLC where you could wear the laughing baby face from so many Nico Nico videos. Seeing the caricature faces with a complete strip makes me believe this could be a thing.

If they guarantee delivery, you can make a fuss and get some free time on prime. My guaranteed Thursday delivery hasn't shipped either.

QQ, No patch was involved for the compatibility, right?
It just means SCEA's white list blocking the game, and xseed had got the latest version of game from the developers.
Will do! Thanks.

The third one is unlocked during each school's campaign and are especially spectacular (Asuka's got to ride a giant toad). Note that all three jutsu are ground based, you don't have a air jutsu (you have the special sequences with buttons mashing instead).
Gotta unlock the 3rd one (L + O). Think it's...chapter 4 of each story/group.
ah.
Anybody got any tips for scoring higher? I assume i get dinged a bunch for getting hit a bunch. but its pretty hard not to get hit, like in burst....
Up on d-pad seems to be what you aim with.

Katsuragi is here: http://waa.ai/4KRv
seems like they'll be added in batches by school, hopefully daily and not weekly
You know, as much as I love Katsuragi I really hate her outfit.
The only time I kept a damaged box and book was that Mario collection on the Wii. I bought it from Dell and was told they wouldn't get more but I could return it. I decided to keep it since the game was apparently limited and I did not know if i would see one again. Wish i had not kept it. Local stores had them within a week. I won't keep damaged goods again.

Yup!
Smart man.
Mailman finally arrived. Gotta give it up to them for this package. Artbook is nicer than anticipated.
Thanks Xseed
If it's like Burst, it'll seem you're OP at first but it'll get harder on the later stages. I remember one stage was just so frustrating on Frantic.
Despite being the "new school," I'd say the only real answer to this is "not Gessen."
Gessen's story is the weakest of the four IMHO. Crimson Squad's is the strongest, but you need to unlock them before you can play them. Of the three factions available from the start, I prefer Hanzo, but Hebijo is also quite good, especially if you like really dark narratives.
