Senko no Ronde/Senko no Ronde SP (Arcade)
Released in Japanese arcades in April 2005, the inaugural entry into the series featured 8 characters piloting their Landers (battle robots) in 1 on 1 battles. SP was an upgrade released in August 2006.

Hi there! Aside from the limited collectors Edition, is any other merchadising to come? (Because my Japanese is still not enough to translate all...)
At the moment, is everything I have to ask, wanting to increase Senkoro community outside of Japan.

Thanks for this information! Useful for newcomers!

[degicagames]

Hi there! Your first question is still being discussed! We also would very much like to increase the awareness and audience for the series outside of Japan!

I think it would help to have a summary of gameplay mechanics of Senko no Ronde, and summary of gameplay differences between SnR Rev.X and SnR 2 since there's not much info out there.

In particular I want to know all the details about assists. I see they work differently than DUO in that they're cooldown based and some only seem to work in certain contexts (like bombs now seem to be assists).

Also, what single player stuff should we expect with SnR2?

I'm hoping about the latest DUO chapters thet G.Rev gift that did no see the light could appaer as certain part of prologue, I'm also expecting typical Score Attack, History, Arcade, most basic stuff, however we could see something new... Possibly.

SnR Rev. X/SP is already taken down in gameplay aspects by DUO/2, since how many characters are, up to is waaay faster than the original, is pretty obvious, but I'm planning doing a guide for those who where used to "WarTech (Rev.X/SP)" and they became interested in 2.

You could possibly get DUO, however the only true way to get it is in XBOX 360 Japanese service, and it's too much a mess.

And the assists works pretty much as the replacement for the O/D, most other things like "Anti-Fields" are still here, altough in a more balanced fashion.

I can help in that aspect! Going to make a review day-1 (Trying hardly to have the money... To much pays like school, personal life, etc.) going to make a review day-1 with the Special Edition unboxing as expected, I'm also making groups in most sites I can think of (Facebook, Steam, and soon Twitter and NicoNico, more are getting in my mind) also doing memes pages, fandubs, covers, whatever a fan mostly does.

So, in the aspect of making a bigger "Outside-Of-Japan" fanbase I'm doing as much as I can, but we also need more support from you part, merchadising, figures, what most fans want mostly.
It's not that urgent, but it could help, especially with the fiasco UbiSoft did with the first game.

So, Degica, whatever you want to make this game bigger, I'm right here, I'm also teaching players how to play the game, and even making an especific channel for the game.



... As an offtopic, could G.Rev and you make ports of old games like Under Defeat and Border Down? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.

Hello thanks for all the support and feedback! As for merchandise, we will do anything for the community if the demand is high enough, but no figures planned as of now. For the single-player question, there will be story mode among other modes. The story mode has been revamped and added to. We don't want to say too much quite yet. Concerning those other G.Rev titles, it has definitely been discussed so we will see in the future if it becomes reality!

In case anyone doesn't know, we have an official site for Senko no Ronde 2 旋光の輪舞２ and will continue adding to it and keep it updated - Senko no Ronde 2 Official Site[senkoro.com]

Hello Degica Games. For those who have never gotten the opportunity to play the previous installments of the Senko no Ronde games (like myself), is it possible that we can expect re-releases to current platforms as well?

[degicagames]

Hi there. As far as porting the other titles in the series to current platforms, we will see! This will be the first title in the series in 7yrs and only the 2nd in English, so we will base future plans on how this goes!

This is getting more and more interesting, I will also like to see something like the "DESIRES ROULETTE" history, but maybe I'm wanting too much... Sorry, but the hype is out of control.

That's nice, hopefully the demand get's enough, as we only got Changpo's and Ernula's figures long ago.

As for the other G.Rev games... THAT'S N I C E, I don't want to pay "collector prices" and not even supporting one of my favorite companies, also, want to do leaderboards, love the fact to actually upload a world-wide score.

That could be nice too, specially SP/Rev.X (With the extra customes included as the only extra I could think of) and I would love to see DUO, especially due that it could help on my Japanese training and because I'm also interested on the history.
This is a fan petition, but we should concentrate a bit on #Senkoro2 now, it's the project with possibilities of reviving the game outside of Japan.

Hello!
Will there be an option to turn off the character portraits during the match? They seem to take up a fairly large portion of the screen.

Thanks! Game looks amazing thus far

Actually, there is an option available to turn off the character portraits (just found out while playing the demo version today).

Yeah, it's the Japanese PS4 demo version. As a newcomer to the series, I find the game pretty interesting so far. Look forward on playing against others when the full version releases.

Is there any way for PC users to get the soundtrack for this game? It looks like the only way to get it now is to import the PS4 Limited Edition from Japan.
