Battle damage brawler Ikki Tousen: Shining Dragon is known just for that: battle damage. And since itās girls in sailor suits and maid outfits, damage comes in the form of shredded clothing.

Publisher Valcon Games was was planning on bringing PS2 game Ikki Tousen: Shining Dragon to the West, but those plans are in a holding pattern. Blame a āMatureā rating from the ESRB, which pumped out this description:
All the female characters are dressed in short skirts or skirts with a high slit. The game features frequent depictions of panties, cleavage, and exaggerated breast jiggle. A special attack move allows some characters to rip opponentsā clothes to shreds ā exposing even more of the female anatomy (legs, breasts, partial buttocks).
And that right there, that dreaded āMā rating seems to have sealed the gameās fate in the West. Colin Goron, Co-founder of Valcon Games, put it best: āWe could remove all the stuff that makes it an M-rated game, but then we donāt think the customers would be very happy buying an Ikki Tousen game without all the shredded clothing.ā Talk about knowing your audience.
Would You Buy An Ikki Tousen Game If It Cut Shredded Clothing? [Siliconera]
