Those crazy Japanese and their overly sexual fighters


A new game is in it's beta stage over in Japan currently, called Jingi Storm. A 2d fighter starring just about every fetish a 15... or 50 year old Japanese man has.

The combatants that are seemingly made available include a peppy police girl, a shy grade schooler, a voluptuous nurse, the average girl next door prep-student, a naughty pedo-maid, the sexy catgirl and of course, the large breasted woman with glasses.

According to a post on MMC, a beta test was held over the weekend which laid to rest some doubts about the game's validitity. Rumors had of course circulated that the game was a farse being that it was said to be geared at arcades and adult games are not allowed there, and for the fact that the developer of the game continued to be annonomous.

Well, the beta test came and went, the game is real, and is a 3d fighter (read: cry), but the kicker for this is that the combatants aren't the pretty little ladies you would assume. It turns out that the fighters are all MEN. Yes, that's right, a game geared towards wet dreams features an all male cast of playables. The women are nothing more than a desired avatar at the beginning and end of the match.

As I stated before, the game is in 3d, but there are 2d illustrations before and after the matches. At the beginning the characters are introduced, and then when someone wins the match a static image of the losers girl pops up and she is forced to strip. There is sadly no quirky animation here, just 4 clothing regions which are phased to translucent depending on how badly the player was defeated.

So you're rewarded for winning well, but I'd say not really. I understand this game wasn't going to be the next Street Fighter, or hell, even Marvel vs Capcom for us here in the States (read: not as good as Street Fighter), but I was hoping for something more. Maybe it's due to the lack of good 2d fighters nowadays, or my thing for anime girls, who knows.

Oh, and my pick? The plucky police girl of course (read: You're Under Arrest)
