Review – Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus
BADASS BUXOM BRAWLING
The Senran Kagura series is something of an oddity in the current gaming landscape. Even before the 3DS’s Senran Kagura Burst introduced America to the series, it was the subject of heated debate and a bit of short-lived controversy that played out on Twitter feeds and the pages of some print magazines.

It was pretty good! It wasn’t a perfectly balanced fighter by any means, but it wasn’t broken, and saw a good amount of tournament play. Two years later, and we finally received a follow-up: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. Does this newcomer manage to build on the solid foundation of the previous game?
