Man, I'm doing it all wrong with 3d graphics, animation and carefully balanced level design. All people really want are a couple of sprites that don't even transition into eachother and a couple of sound effects that play when the sprite is touched with the stylus. I can reckon we could release a couple of these things per week.

I think the vid clip is boring because the guy playing doesn't know what he's doing. If it's like any "prod-the-clothes-off" style games, you need to do specific actions in a specific order in order to advance (as evidenced by changing body pose).

Wow. It seems so boring. I won't be trying this after all. I thought they would react more, but constantly yelling "please stop!" gets really annoying. If there was ever a Japanese person near me while playing, that would be so embarrassing.

This game IS tame, I knew it, I knew it couldn't be coming out otherwise. Also, I don't look at the age they SAY the girls are, I look at the massive cleavage said girl is sporting, it makes everything better if you ask me.

Part of me still hopes that they aren't really 14 years old and this was just an artistic choice on SNK's part, and all is well with the world. The other, more realistic part of me realizes how completely fucked up this really is. I'm not saying it'll turn people into child molesters (it's pretty unrealistic, I'll give you that) but it's basically enforcing anime's 'pedo' reputation. The fact that this is coming from SNK, one of my all-time favorite developers only makes it even more annoying.

They released that KoF dating sim a while ago, and I'm pretty sure there are more nerds that fap to KoF's (mostly legal) female cast than there are ones that dream of touching what looks like a 13 year old girl. At large, anyway. Couldn't they just stick to that?

@Sabre_Justice: Neither could I... "Her orgasm meter goes down faster than her sleep meter!!"
@justhesh: "And when we reached his house, guess what he was playing... That's right- Doki Doki Majo Shinpan. What is that you ask? Mothers, cover your children's ears... It's a DS game released in the hellish wasteland of the East where you rape young girls. Yes, I said it. Sources tell us that when you remove her clothes and steal her bright innocence the game rewards you with pornographic pictures of newborns... How this slipped under the radar, I will never know. I'm selling my Wii now- This has been Dateline: To Catch a Predator."

Oh it'll be fun if this comes out in NA. Cutsey graphics: rated M. XD
And little girls would want the game, because it looks cute, and parents wouldn't know, because most of them don't look at the ratings. Problems ensue. Fun times in America!

I haven't really thought much about this game, but today, a few sentances come to mind.

"Girl, if you want to prove you're not a witch, you're going to have to let me touch you."

"Are you done yet, Random-Kun?"

"No, it takes longer to reveal a witch, you aren't a witch, are you?"

And so on.

Interesting reports on some 2ch threads: the cutesy graphics on the box are supposedly appealing to girls that purchased those DS dress-up games. Store clerks are having to be very careful to avoid selling them to these kids, as the content will obviously come as a bit of a shocker for kids expecting something a little more... uh, kid friendly.

@BodyOfTheMany: No nudity, no sex, no extra-violent scenes. Oh, and this isn't in North America; therefore, there's no way it could even get rated by the ESRB.

I liked the music and, as I tried to tell people, it's more visual novel territory than eroge.

Mongoosekun — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 09:07:08 MDT

Oh, I bothered to watch the whole thing -- you can use 2-3 static meshes with blinking eyes instead of sprites. That or it's just sprites facing ordinal points or something. I just left it running and came back to close it and the view changed.

PSA for those too disgusted or too bored to see it all.

Doki Doki Majo Shinpan Released to Humanity

Mongoosekun — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 09:02:51 MDT

You just need to make a few sounds a moving background and a sprite with blinking eyes. SNK must be making a 10,000% profit on this if enough pedobears buy it.

When I write my memoirs of living here, I'm going to release them in two volumes entitled "LOL Japan" "WTF Japan," as those are the two thoughts that pop into my head most often.

I was oh-so-briefly tempted to buy this for shits, giggles, and bragging rights, but upon seeing this video I think I'll save my 5,000 yen and go back to Phantom Hourglass.

It would be no problem if they released it in the US. They would just change all the girls' ages from 14 to 18. They do it all the time with anime and manga.

I really don't see how this equates to a game. And damn, that girl says the same three lines over and over again no matter where you touch her.
