Why do you take the funds from my credit card now, rather than waiting until the game is released?
As mentioned previously in the ‘Project Outline’ section, the primary reason for taking funds in advance is to actually cover the costs of manufacturing the cartridges and limited edition extras, which are made to order.
What if I change my mind and want a refund?
Full refunds are available at any time until we place the orders for the cartridges and various goodies - so if for any reason you change your mind, you’re free to get your money back without question. Similarly, if you decide later on that the Shinobi Collectors’ Edition is too good to miss out on, you’ll be able to request a refund and then upgrade! If you would like a refund then you should contact
support@marvelousgames.com
When will you announce the release date?
Our target release date is August 2015. The final release date will depend on three key factors. Firstly, the game will need to be rated by the various classification boards. PEGI (Europe), USK (Germany) and ACB (Australia) all have slightly different processes and take different amounts of time to complete. If there are any queries or requirements on their side, then this can add time to the release schedule. Secondly, the game will need to pass Nintendo quality assurance - the required time for this can vary significantly depending on whether any significant bugs are discovered during the QA process, and the time taken for the game's developer to fix them. Finally, it’s our intention to try to synchronise our launch with XSEED (Marvelous USA) so this may also be an influencing factor. So, please take the target release date only as an estimate. We will, of course, keep you updated on any changes to that date.
Please note, the game is already launched in Japan - your pre-order payments are not to support the development of the game, just the production of the physical versions for the European/Australian territories.
What languages will be available?
SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson will only be available in English, with the original Japanese voiceovers. As we have mentioned above, we would love to be able to release our titles in multiple languages in the future. We think that pre-ordering could be a fantastic way to see whether there is sufficient demand for this!
Is SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson appropriate for all ages?
No it is not! Sexual innuendo & seductiveness are turned up to 11 in SENRAN KAGURA games, which means it’s not appropriate for younger audiences. We can’t be exactly sure what age ratings SENRAN KAGURA 2 will receive, but we are expecting PEGI 16, USK 16 and ACB M15.
Will SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson be released Digitally?
Yes, SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson will also be released digitally via the Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo 3DS, and the physical and digital release dates will be synchronised as closely as possible.
Will these copies of SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson work on any Nintendo 3DS system?
No they will not. Physical copies of SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson sold on this website will ONLY work on systems made for 'PAL' territories (Europe, Australia, NZ, Africa, Middle East).
How are delivery costs calculated?
We are based in the UK (Kent to be precise) and we’ll be sending all of our deliveries out from a warehouse based in the UK. This means that the shipping costs of each edition will vary depending on where you are based geographically.
These varying costs are all based on the prices charged to us for shipping by our logistics suppliers. The only costs we are adding on are the shipping itself. Other things - packaging, boxes, etc, are all included in our base prices. We will not be making ANY profit or markup on shipping costs. We did explore the possibility of having a separate warehouse in mainland Europe, but the logistical issues caused by this meant that it was not viable at this stage.
Why are the shipping costs high?
It's important to us that everyone gets their packages safely, so we are only using 'tracked and signed' shipping for all orders. This does add some cost, unfortunately.
What about taxes?
The prices shown on the home page are inclusive of EU VAT at 20%. If you're in the EU, your shipping cost is also subject to VAT.
Those outside the EU - when you get to the checkout and enter your country for delivery, the VAT will be removed from your bill, and you will not be charged VAT on your delivery costs. However, please be aware that you may be liable for import taxes or other charges when taking delivery into your country. You are responsible for paying all these taxes yourself, and may find that you have to make a payment to your local customs or delivery company before they are able to release the package to you.
What is your policy on censorship?
In short, our intention is to release a version of SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson that is identical to the version released by our friends over at XSEED (Marvelous USA).
We have also recently hired a community manager (shout out to @Drazzan) who will be ensuring that we are as transparent as possible, so if any changes are required we will update this page and our website with all relevant information.
Will the game be available in shops?
Currently, our plan is to sell these physical copies, and limited editions, exclusively via our websites. If there’s sufficient demand for them, we plan to offer a lot more physical and limited editions directly to customers in future.
What are the dimensions of the various items?
These are only our best estimates right now, and it is possible that they will change once we begin the manufacturing process.
