This is a little disturbing: I was playing Kane & Lynch on the Games Convention show floor earlier today when I accidentally shot a business woman who was running around on the floor I was on. Instead of killing her, I apparently winged her shoulder. She lay sprawled on her back screaming in pain with the camera angle shooting straight up her skirt exposing a pair of white panties. (That's her in that picture laying next to a dead body, one of my henchmen headshot her as I was about to take this picture.)

It wasn't at all sexual and I don't think it was meant to be. The sight of this terrified and injured woman, her panties invertently exposed highlighted the terror of the moment for this woman and how very vulnerable she was. Good idea or taking things too far?

Cant remember how much they cost or whether they were a Comike [Comic Market] limited item but there were a lot of people just staring at them. They were handing out a lot of stuff though so maybe these were being given out for free?

Full box art after the jump.

Eds Note: This is not porn. I repeat, THIS IS NOT PORN. Rather, it's an "erotic cosplay" CD-ROM. Quite common in these parts!

There's another clip after the jump, depending on your tolerance for this kind of stuff. Me? By now, numb.

Ikki Tousen, an anime based on a manga based on showing off loads of pantsu and D-cupped teens, carries on its fine tradition of gratuitously displaying the underwear of rival high schoolers in the PlayStation 2 female-heavy brawler Ikki Tousen: Shining Dragon. We previously highlighted the game's exploding clothing, which reveals copious cleavage but keeps the naughtiest bits well covered, but now you can see it in motion. The game, which I assume features a one-handed control scheme, ships in July to lonely gamers. Michael McWhertor

It ain't stealing if you claim to be a female elf named "Beho." A 45 year-old lab technician named Robert Boyd is accused of holding up a Belfast lingerie shop at knifepoint while wearing a wig, hat and glasses. Delicious.

Not directly connected to video games, but Boyd claims that he was involved in a round of Shadowrun. Boyd, who regularly visits a shrink, said:

...seemed to have blurred that line between reality and fantasy... I can't believe that I personally did that... and I deeply regret that.

His loot included two sets of bras, suspender belts, stockings and pantsu. Brian Ashcraft

Movie stars get grilled by the fashion police so why not game stars? Christian Nutt has a feature up at Games Radar that does just that. Stephen Pierce, grad of The London College of Fashion rates the fashion sense of Bullet Witch's Alicia. Stand out quote:

The directional choice of the 'Pantkerchief' is brave, and would take the wearer from a Parisian cuddle party to a trailer park chicken-chase with ease. The studious specs suggest a woman who could lecture on quantum theory, before going to town on your ass with a fist-full of Chinese Love Eggs.

Pantkerchief? This Stephen guy is a hoot! Brian Ashcraft

So today I thought I would give some of the readers a treat and post the Wii panty girl video, giving both the perverts and the curmudgeons something to comment on during a quiet Wednesday afternoon. Soon after I posted it, the video went private, the panties now replaced with a video of her playing the Wii in spandex. Why? I tracked her down via YouTube and Yahoo and asked.

Note that this is not her real Yahoo handle. Duh.

Mike Fahey: Mike from Kotaku here, and curious!

PantyGirl: hi

MF: Howdy, as they say down south. So what happened with the video?

PG: to be honest I'm worried that my friends or family might see

MF: I can understand that completely. You'd be an overnight internet sensation.

PG: aww
PG: do you like the spandex ones?

MF: As I am happily attached, I cannot comment as to whether I like them or not.
MF: Definitely.
MF: Oops. Stupid keyboard, answering for me.

PG: lol

MF: Well thank you for clearing the whole thing up. Many lonely gamers will cry themselves to sleep tonight, but I suppose pretending to be a good girl is an important part of being evil.

PG: I am a good girl

MF: Possibly, but the real question here is good at what?

PG: well getting attention for one

MF: You win this round, Wii panty girl.

PG: you want me

MF: Is that why you posted the video in the first place? To make men (and women) want you? (Note my artful dodging)

PG: maybe

MF: An exhibitionist, enjoying when people you don't know watch you...

PG: i like attention

MF: I do too. I just look horrible in a bra and panties, or so I've been told.

PG: hahaha

MF: Perhaps you could post another wearing a mask, so your family can't tell who you are.
MF: And possibly kitty ears.
MF: Ignore that last bit. Someone else typed that, probably.

PG: hmm
PG: I wish I could block by location
PG: then just my area couldn't see it

MF: And everyone else could see your area!

PG: good one

MF: I'm actually reading them from a "How to speak to a half naked gamer girl" handbook.
MF: So, should I just tell our readers to try for a friend request on YouTube?

PG: I have like 500 to go through
PG: I don't want to accept everyone

MF: No one wants to accept everyone. It's the concept this country is founded on.
MF: I suppose they'll have to be happy with the spandex. Just curious...what's under the leggings?

PG: guess

MF: I was thinking thong myself, being somewhat of a thong connoisseur.

PG: nope
PG: I wear them as underwear

MF: So just the sheer leggings and what you came packaged with then?

PG: what?

MF: Meaning nothing underneath but what you were born with.

PG: right
PG: its uncomfortable with anything under spandex

MF: Don't I know it. Well on that note I'm going to have to go find a quiet place to watch the spandex video another 10-15 times. Just to verify.

PG: haha
PG: what should I do next?

MF: That is the most dangerous question a girl has ever asked me.

PG: uh oh

MF: I think you were going in the right direction with the whole panties thing, but that direction only leads to one thing.

PG: ?

MF: Dressing up in a penguin costume.
MF: I mean, I can't just tell a random internet girl to get naked and play video games. Penguin is the next closest answer.

PG: as I'm talking to you I'm getting hundreds of messages and subscriptions

MF: Well of course you are. You've inflamed the gaming community with your sinful gyrations. You're like a modern day Elvis, only hotter.
MF: *looks at a picture of Elvis* Okay, way hotter.

PG: oh wow I just got a comment on my new years vid

MF: Oh yes. Once the internet latches on to one vid they'll hungrily devour anything they can find about you.
MF: Like long conversations on a gaming website.
MF: For instance.

PG: oh if you find that I would love to see it

MF: I'll let you know if I see anything. One last question...which probably should have been the first question. Over 18?
PG: by far

MF: *breathes a sigh of relief*
MF: You enjoy your attention now, young lady...and let me know if anything else comes up. Probably a bad choice of words, but nonetheless.

PG: ;)

Winking emote indeed! So there you have it, folks. She's an attention hungry woman with unfortunate limits. She wants to be bad, but doesn't want her family to know, and I am pretty sure that with the right answers I could have steered the conversation towards steamy cyber. Luckily I am a good and virtuous man, for all you know. Michael Fahey

It's been pantsu fever here at Kotaku Tower over the last week. Whether it's Crecente prancing about happily in the pink Space Invaders panty set above, or Eliza galumphing Rancor-like through the basement in her Rules of Rose set of Victorian undergarments, we love pantsu, despite the fact that Ashcraft is the only one amongst us who knows what the word even frickin' means.

Space Invader Panties [Aeropause]

Digg strikes again with an inaccurately-titled, but still informative collection of Mario underpants, including a few we've posted separately before. As is usual in Dugg articles of little actual content, commentators are driven to generate their own, including this fascinating anecdote from Digg user vap0r:

My son has a gameboy advance, and he blows on the cartidges when they don't work. The funny thing, is that this was not taught to him. He just did it on instinct, which leads me to believe that this behavior is inherited not learned. It seems that I've blown into so many nintendo cartridges, that it has changed my DNA...

There you have it. Gaming as retroactive proof of Lamarckism. Eliza Gauger

Nintendo Approved Underwear from mid-80's. "Bigger is Better" [Digg]

It's the most infamous DS game we've never played. And we know surprisingly little about Doki Doki Majo Saiban. Intertube reaction has run the gamut of amused (us) to critical (others) and in denial (others). Some are claiming the title is flat out porn, while some state that there's no way Nintendo would let that happen. We doubt that the game is at either end of the pole and still giggle at the newly minted touch-a-girl-to-see-if-she's-a-witch sub-genre.

Earlier today, I contacted SNK Playmore Japan to see if we could find out more regarding the title, such as whether or not it was an adult title and what it's CERO (Japan's ESRB) rating would be. The response? Some of the screenshots on the internet are not official, which common sense tells us is easy to separate. And regarding the rating, it hasn't been announced. As an official statement, we were sent a short description of the game's story that has been circulating since TGS. Here's a quick and dirty translation:

Story: Previously, there were a few witches in the world. Current day. People don't know it, but the number of witches have grown. So God has chosen two mischievous middle school students, Akuji and Tenshi ("Angel") Ruru, to search for witches. Using the touch pen, players engage in a witch hunt adventure.

SNK didn't provide any more information beyond that. This description along with some screens shots of girls in short skirts and cleavage. So, is it porn? Doubt it, and always have. A quick look at the actual SNK images show that the game probably isn't intended for children. Still, we are delighted about this touch-a-girl-to-see-if-she's-a-witch sub-genre. Sounds wicked! Brian Ashcraft

Are they still pantsu if they're not ladies' underwear?

These fungophilic boxer shorts are by Stylin' Online, and have a delightfully stilted product description:

This is an officially licensed Nintendo Mario Boxer. These Boxers has been screen printed with a Mario design. These particular Mario boxer shorts have a button fly.

Must. Use. Mario. In every. Sentence! Ngggh! Eliza Gauger

What do Metal Gear Solid and Jet Set Radio have in common? Panty-shots. From the Famicon to the Xbox 360, a Japanese website has complied a list of all in-game depictions of underwear. There are guidelines, such as only glimpses of "pantsu" (panties), that keep thing from being a laundry list of porno games. The page is divided by console, title, character and remarks. Comprehensive and containing games from various consoles, for example:

• Kingdom Hearts, "Seen from the side when Jane is in the jungle."
• Hot Shots Golf 3, "An array of colors."
• Shenmue 2, "Possible to see lots of panties. It's a 'Best of Pants' game. (j/k)"
• Super Famicon Doraemon Series, "Shizuka-chan. White panties when she jumps."

And you get the idea. We can't decide if the inclusion of Street Fighter II's E. Honda (remark: "Pantsu?") and Ghosts 'n Goblins' Arthur ("Red or strawberry colored pantsu") keep it from getting too pervy or make it all the more. Brian Ashcraft
