<p>Senran Kagura by Marvelous might not be the most well-known series here in the west, but it is beginning to get more exposure. Most recently, the localisation team at XSEED Games helped release <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/senran_kagura_peach_ball">Senran Kagura: Peach Ball</a></strong> on the Nintendo Switch.</p>
<p>Once again, this game starred the usual group of female ninja. Did you know though that the series could have had a very different name? As part of its 15-year celebrations, XSEED <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/XSEEDGames/status/1200852031227023365">revealed</a> a little bit of trivia about what else it could have been called:</p>
<aside class="object object-tweet">

We’ve had such a blast dropping our XSEED lore bombs all month!</p>
<p>Thankfully, our better judgment sliced through and prevailed. <a href="https://t.co/h0pE9oRnyx">pic.twitter.com/h0pE9oRnyx</a></p>

<p>If you’ve played any entries in this series, we’re sure you’ll be able to guess the reason why this name was even in consideration. As XSEED notes: “better judgment sliced through and prevailed” in the end.</p>
<p>Senran Kagura originally started out life on the 3DS in 2011. Since then, multiple entries have been released on Nintendo systems.</p>
