E311 | Dead or Alive Dimensions Denied from Australia

E311 | Dead or Alive Dimensions Denied from Australia on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Tecmo's jiggly 3DS brawler Dead or Alive Dimensions has been denied for sale down under due to suggestive content.

According to Vooks, the game was originally sent to the Australian Classification board by THQ, but the game's content wasn't fully described. It's thought that because some of the characters don't have ages attached, that the photo viewer/3D photo mode may be deemed inappropriate.

Nintendo of Australia is looking to resolve the issue with the Classification's board, but for now retailers aren't allowed to sell the 3DS fighter.

This is one of the reasons I'm glad I don't live in Australia, the Classification board's worse than the European one.

The other reason is the deadly animals.

I don't know why this has been banned in a few countries. Sure, some of the characters are 16, but in the Showcase mode it's not as if you can remove all of their clothes and perv over them.

The camera even limits you from looking at them from below. (aka. upskirt) Plus, their breasts aren't exactly hanging out either. It's a great game and I don't see why people can't just see past the whole perverted side of the game.

I only bought this game purely because it's a fighter, and my kind of fighter. (3D, like Tekken, Soul Calibur etc.) There probably are people who bought it just to perv over Kasumi or the other female fighters, but who gives a damn? It's a game that isn't going to do any harm.

This is the same Australia that banned porn stars with A-cups due to thinking it promoted child pornography. It must be something to do with Australians' blood rushing to their head due to being upside-down all the time.

Edit: It was also "banned" in the Scandinavian countries do to the same reasons as stated in the article. By banned I mean Nintendo refuses to publish it there.

I knew about that, it's pretty silly. I'm pretty sure paedophiles don't play DoA to get their fix of child pornography. Honestly.. they should be doing other things to stop sexual predators. Not banning potentially great games because of some minor problem.
