There are no words

Apparently this is coming to North America in Summer (the northern hemisphere’s summer).  Will this be the next game with a controversial localisation? 

I have to say, for a turn based game they seem to have spent a disproportionate amount of work on inventing fighting moves that flaunt leggy outfits and teasing upskirt shots.

Given that the game’s title is about how it’s a world ruled by dragons, and your goal being to get rid of dragons – the warriors who are going to jump around like that would get something other than short skirts… or whatever it is the rune-kinght has.

Etrian Odyssey

This is gonna come from a place of love, but still drives me crazy, but Etrian Odyssey has a real issue with being completely erratic on whether it wants to be practical or not.

On one hand you have characters like Guildmaster Marion

or classes like the Protector

image

And then there’s classes that just kinda… don’t

image
image

Granted, we get some manservice too

image

The part I find most amazing is that based off it’s promotional material, I would never have expected any manservice or whip wielding… well I’m not sure I want to know what she is, in the game. I mean look at the North America cover:

I can only imagine this leads to many awkward conversations with parents walking in when the wrong thing is on the screen.

Medabots: Girls Mission Has Its Own Costume Break System

Medabots: Girls Mission Has Its Own Costume Break System

From Siliconera:

Medabots: Girls Mission is the series’ first CERO C rating, and Rocket Company’s latest info on the game shows us that it also has a new costume-destruction system.

image

By filling up your special attack meter, you can perform the “Medaforce” attack. In Medabots: Girls Mission, you can do a “Medaforce Burst” by filling it up to 200%. Additionally, while performing the finishing blow with it, a special command window appears.

By successfully inputting the command on time, you can perform a “Hyper Finish” that blows away the clothes of the opponent. Each girl and Medabot have their own special scenes for this feature.

image

The “Ogre Maxim” is a feature that vastly increases a Medabot’s capabilities. This can be used once per Robattle, and the lower the points for parts are, the more effective and longer the effects of it becomes.

The Ogre Maxim increases parts abilities, shortens cooldown time of the parts, and also incerases the Medaforce Gauge. Using this system can turn the tables of the battle.

Medabots: Girls Mission Kabuto and Kuwagata will release in Japan on March 10, 2016.

Medabots is a friggin kid’s show.  WHO IS THIS FOR?!

Were you horrified by the weird unlicensed Pokemon-as-sex-objects game? Welcome to the next level!

For those not aware, Medabots was a cute game for children that was adapted to manga and anime from the 90s-early 2000s.  The anime was localized for English speakers by Fox Kids and there’s a significant English fan group who campaigning to get everything localized and Nintendo is re-releasing the games that did get localized on the Wii U

Extra Credits did a great episode on children’s properties getting gritty reboots, but it seems that instead of going with the “gritty” reboot, they’re going with the “porny” reboot – specifically the “humiliate women by forcibly undressing them” route.

Now, before the comments section gets flooded with outrage about creative freedom and this is a Japan only game, I’d like to clarify a few things:

  • While it is a Japanese game still owned by it’s original publishers, it’s not being created by it’s original developers (who basically got cut off in 2010 due to business restructuring)
  • Everything suggests the original developers felt the franchise was appropriate for everyone and they’d love it to get localized, it’s just technical and resource allocation issues that come with having multiple companies involved – not “cultural differences”
  • This is really not “a Japan thing”.  Anyone who was a Thundercats fan as a child and had the misfortune to pick up a copy of Wildstorm’s comics knows what I’m walking about.

  • Neither of these are fan productions or porn parodies, these are licensed products of children’s entertainment which apparently felt softcore porn was a suitable addition.

A follow up on Tales of Berseria’s extremely edgy protagonist, Velvet.

What really gets me here is that Velvet’s outfit before contracting Lycanthropy is infinitely better then this nonsensical combination of belts and scraps of fabric.

image

Wait, Velvet contracted the rare “Sexy Lady” strain of lycanthropy… one that makes her grow just one monster hand and wear torn up sexy clothes instead of become a wolf monster?  What a brilliant and unique idea Tales of Beseria!

It’s pitching itself as an epic battle between Reason and Emotion, and through a process of elimination we already know who one at the wardrobe.
