Fucked Up Japan

Official trailer for the Doki Doki Majo Shinpan (Exciting Witch Hunt) has been released (via senakablog). Several stores are now featuring huge display screens from the game, like the one below (from akibaos), with some nice teenage booby touching action. I’m figuring this is about as exciting as the game will get…

Kotaku reports on the existence of official Chinese and Korean versions of the game site too, which could be indicative of a worldwide release (or at least, a Chinese and Korean release). That pretty much triples the number of gurl-lovin’ male “releases” this game is sure to cause.

Truth be told, this game is just another addition to the mounting back catalog of Eroge (Erotic Games), as TokyoTimes gives us the lowdown:

Japanese developers are opting for increasingly more memorable promotional material. Like the people behind the boob-related Oppai Baka for example, who are thoughtfully allowing potential customers to quite literally get a feel for the game before making a purchase.

“Of course, bigger is better” reads the Japanese on the right. Notice the 3D mammaries. The sign underneath is “oppai, momihoudai, douzo jiyu ni“, which means “squeeze the boobies all you want“.

Well, you heard the man!

Duke thinks not. Duke should know - he’s a goddamn master of walking, with a very popular TV show on the subject, and even a site on the interwebs. Oh yes, Duke knows everything about the delicate art of putting one foot in front of another. Duke thinks you’re walking like a dirty slut, and that’s why he’s invaded the DS, to give you some private lessons in how to walk properly. You filthy slut, you.

Actually, my ex-girlfriend used to watch this crap and practice her walking abilities. That’s why she’s my ex….

Her name is Remoko-chan, and she comes with nunchuck attachment!

Well, I’m damned if this isn’t one of the greatest ideas ever. As if Maid Cafes weren’t popular enough with the Otaku, this particular joint, LittlePSX in Akihabara, got hold of a couple of PS3 for customers to play together with one of the maids. This fantastic opportunity costs as little as 400 yen ($4 , 2 quid), including a photo op. with your maid! For double that, you can have a little bite to eat as well.

…with some of these super PDA J-Girl wallpapers like this one of Aya Matsuura. New releases every week it seems. Go get some now!

Of course, this kind of hentai game is not at all unusual here in our little freakshow of the world that is Japan, but it’s the unique use of the DS stylus feature that intrigues me, and possibly the fact that the Nintendo DS cashcrop has always had such a childish image around it. Is this what Nintendo meant when they announced they will be “growing up their image”?

More screenshots…

Oh, and the guy over a DSFanboy has made a valiant attempt to defend this game as nothing to do with child molesting. Indeed, there have been false screenshots showing the stylus used to touch up girl in the panty area, but he seems to think this genre of game is normal here, and complains about us metaphorically fisting our western social values on a different culture. News - most *normal* people in Japan would consider this to be a, how shall we say , *fucked up game* for socially inept and *fucked up* otaku. It is far from normal.
