Famitsu shared an interview they put together with the SNK HEROINES ~Tag Team Frenzy~ dev team, in which they discussed a number of topics. Check out info on the game's roster, potential for DLC, and even sequel talk below.

Famitsu: Were the participating characters already decided by the time of the game proposal?

Kaito Soranaka, Director: “We decided it with internal discussion among the staff. Regarding the rule of thumb for the choices, characters were picked based on popularity, characters that SNK want to push going forward, and characters that fans would be surprised by. Of course, there are many other appealing heroines as well, so don’t think that they aren’t popular just because they didn’t get in this time.”

Famitsu: Are there any plans for post-launch DLC past the collaboration?

Soranaka: “There probably will be, but what it will be is the troublesome part.”

Yusuke Amano, Art Director: “We have female Terry, and a collaboration character. If there are to be additional fighters, any character could make it in. The possibilities are endless.”

Famitsu: This may be a bit early, but any plans for a sequel or something similar…?

Soranaka: “It would be nice if we could have an SNK Heroines sequel with every new KOF release. A hardcore fighting game, accompanied by a fun, more lighthearted title. We’d like to continue making games with this sort of tone.”

Did any of you guys/gals pick up SNK HEROINES ~Tag Team Frenzy~ on Switch? Seems like it had a rather soft opening over in Japan for both systems. Curious if there's more of a market for the game here.

Watch a bunch of scantily clad women fight it out! Even a gender bender version of Terry Bogard. Are you ok? BUSTER WOLF.

We usually have a few games to cover when it comes to day one/week one sales in Japan, but today we just have one to take a look at.
