Guess this isn't too much of a surprise really, they already brought over the past two games in the series. From what I've read about the game so far from it's Japanese release it seems this one also improves upon the past two games a lot, which is great because I loved the first two.

If you can look past the loli characters and tons of fan service, the games are enjoyable and are pretty funny.

It has kinda changed over the course of the two games that were released previously. The characters themseleves are personifications of game consoles, such as Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony with a fictional console being the leader. Most of the story involves fighting against an evil group called Arfoire which is a reference to a game piracy device.

The game itself is still turn based fighting, though it has now evolved into letting players move around the battlefield and attack like that. It does have a decent amount of fan service and there are plenty of "moe" scenes and plenty of anime-styled tropes are worked into the characters as well. Personally I've loved the first two but it is certainly an acquired taste.
