Yes, there is actual gameplay footage of Senran Kagura, only it's all hiding. Like all things on the Internet, secrets aren't kept secret for long. Above, you can watch a solid eight minutes of action, which should give you a complete idea of what to expect from this game. I'm surprised by how fast everything moves, especially for 3D brawler. Even with all the cheesecake, it still looks incredibly fun and fluid.
I can finally announce that I'm anticipating this title for a reason other than sheer irony.
Tony Ponce (aka megaStryke) is a culturally confused, Canadian-born Puerto Rican who grew up in Japan and South Florida ... yet can only speak English. He specializes in writing features and maintaining an immaculate goatee. Likes: Any and all things related to Mega Man, Contra, Castlevania, 2D, PB&J sandwiches, applesauce, and candy corn.

I would love this title as a PSN game. It sure does look fun, and playing it co-op would be great. A shame a lot of people is dismissing it because it have big-boobed school girls.
Do you remember when everything a game needed it was to be a great entertainment?
What's not to "get"? You have martial arts powers, you beat bad guys into submission. Ya know, like every other brawler ever made. Seems straightforward to me.
It kind of looks fun, but we all know what the selling point is and i'm not sure that sells well in NA...but, it did work for Catherine so who knows :/
Thanks :D
That could work too, but damn I'm temped to make a facebook page and post stuff on gaming forums and what not except I'm too lazy and apparently they're searching for a western publisher anyway :D
Yeah, the brawler part is not what is causing the lack of understanding on my part. And really? Out of all the comments, mine was the one you chose to respond to just because I said I didn't get it? What, does my lack of blind like for this title offend you?
While I won't automatically assume that you're creep for being interested in this game, I can understand the concern you have. I had a similar problem when I wanted to buy Queen's Blade season 1 set (seriously, that show is not safe for work).
Imo 2.5D brawlers using the std 2D brawler fixed camera angle dont look good, 2D sprites even in a 3D world look much better especially when fighting ememies that all look the same.
Sorry Tony, but what you're seeing as "fast and fluid" looks to me like "loose and mash-happy." Maybe it'll be your kind of game, but after watching the video, I'm really not feeling it.

...... if you are going to start a movement at least keep it within the thematic guidelines of those who came before you.
Clearly this would need to be called

GET 2 DA BEWBEHS.
Nope. But you can't have anime chicks without it, it's like trying to have an fps where your guns make no noise.

This one looks like another step forward, and I really like the way they've handle the three-dimensional aspect.
*Cough*
Things actually happen in this game.
It looks fun, I have to admit.
You were one of the first comments. Since then, I haven't revisited this article. Chillax, bro.
@DF
I wouldn't count it out yet.
Whatever, man.
Hmm...

amazing game, wish we have more games like this.
that being said. i love the quirky style of the game and the 2D plane gameplay brings back the old beat'em up games back then.
will pick this up when i have a 3DS :P
another awesome game by Sega :P
This to me just looks cheap and tacky.
But I'm still laughing at 1:10 and 2:42.
and then at 3:55
and some more at 4:30
and a chuckle at 7:14
