Dead or Alive: Dimensions Gets Reclassified in Australia on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Dead or Alive: Dimensions has been past a number of hurdles blocking its release in the land down under. Earlier this month, the Classification Board of Australia withdrew the game's PG rating and it was pulled from stores. This was due to complaints about sexual orientated content featured within one games features. It was then made illegal to sell until it was reclassified.

Today, the the Classification Board of Australia have now re-rated the game and categorized it as M, for mature. A report regarding the decision stated that classifiers found the game's violent and sexual content to be of moderate impact. Female characters depicted with large breasts and the ability to take photos of certain areas were also some more in-depth reasons given.

THQ has also been partly blamed for the original classification given to the game, due to a lack of information supplied by the company.

THQ?!

THQ were the original distributors in Australia. Smilie

I can't even get it here in Norway Smilie

Ok this is just stupid & completely unnecessary, the most M rated reason this game could have would be Kasumi's tacky Military Bikini that was released today.

Seriously if you look at the girls bios it lists their ages except for Kasumi's & Ayane's. Sure you could argue that Alpha is pedo fodder but really would you feel any pity or concern on something that young if they had intent on destroying the world? �_�

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422
