Brawlin' it up

I’ve been thinking about getting some games for the Vita lately, and the one on top of the list may be an import, which is something I tend to avoid.  But Uppers may be the rare exception.

Uppers is like a combination of two game series.  It’s one part Kenka Bancho, one part Senran Kagura.  Meaning it’s one-half badass brawler, one-half scandalous fan service.  I’m personally more interested in the brawler half as it follows in the shadow of the Kenka Bancho series.  A series I love a lot.  And with Uppers being developed by Bullets, the makers of the Bancho series, we’re getting the authentic experience.

But with the role of Producer being Kenichiro Takaki, who is the man behind the Senran Kagura series, which I have never played, and really don’t care to play because it dives way too deep into that ecchi scene, but am glad to see it looks like the game is more about the beat ‘em up action aspect than it is the fan service stuff (at least that’s what I think based on some screenshots and a few video clips).  But since there’s no way he’s not going to add his signature shots of over sexualized ladies in games, it’s good to see it just may be the sprinkles on top of this awesome action sundae.

I was thinking about waiting for a local port to come to the US, believing maybe either Atlus or XSEED would pick it up, but I waited for other games to come out stateside, but to no avail.  I like to get the localized version of games because I actually like to have a story with my games, regardless of how insignificant it may be, but I might have to bite the bullet and get the import version of Uppers and depend on gamefaqs for the story because I’m itchin’ for a new KB styled game. Either that or just learn the darn language.
