Dead or Alive Dimensions—Too Sexy?

Dead or Alive Dimensions—Too Sexy?

None

Anyone who has played Dead or Alive: Dimensions will tell you that it’s a pretty sexy game. The ladies of the DOA franchise have never been afraid to show a little skin, and there have always been some interesting physics tied to the characters’ chest areas. But when players pick up a DOA title, they generally know what they’re getting, right?

Apparently the Swedish government was shocked at the content of DOA, and have stopped all shipment of the game to Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Why? Well according to the DOA canon, several of the ladies are under 18. Their barely-there bikini-wear catapults this game into the scary realm of child pornography under regional law.


Nintendo has responded to these allegations by cancelling the game’s release in these regions to avoid any legal issues. But one must wonder if developer Team Ninja perhaps changed characters’ ages to 18, then perhaps the game could have seen a release. It seems like a simple issue to fix—I mean, those girls don’t really look much like teenagers—but apparently it was just easier to cancel the whole thing outright.
