Bizarre schoolgirl fighting in new Ikki Tousen video

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 30th 2008 at 5:30PM }

Ikki Tousen: Eloquent Fist truly is a bizarre game. It's hard to make commentary on a game that's known for its emphasis on well-endowed school girls whose clothes seemingly explode at random. The truly strange fighting game has us asking all sorts of questions: why is she fighting random teenagers? Why are they so angry at her? How is all of this happening? Why are her clothes exploding? We're sure for the Japanese audience (and importers) that get their hands on this, all answers will be revealed.

Buy 'Hakufu's milk' to celebrate the release of Ikki Tousen

Are you thinking of importing the upcoming PSP fighting game Ikki Tousen? While that is all well and good, we thought we'd bring to your attention some other Ikki Tousen goodies you'll miss out on unless you live in Japan. In celebration of the game's arrival, the Cure Maid Cafe have added a milk pudding dessert to their menu dubbed "Hakufu's milk pudding". The attention to detail is impressive -- there's even a small bulge in the middle of these, er, milk pudding globs. Has anyone been able to try this out? Whatever the case, Ikki Tousen is coming out October 2nd in Japan.

Ikki Tousen website shows why it will never come to the US

First off, most of the links on this post are slightly NSFW. Nothing graphic, but you probably don't want your boss to catch you looking at it. Now we got that out of the way, let the fun begin.

As reported before, Ikki Tousen is basically Sailor Moon remade as a fighting game by males, where the female warrior's clothes explode when they receive damage. The official website launched late last month shows us all the juicy details, including each girl's body measurements, the very unique Costume Destruction System, screenshots including the girls in shredded clothes, having been defeated by their opponents and the most important aspect, the story. Finally, they have a blog where the creators of the game post pictures like this. Look for this game in Japan on October 2nd.

The clothes-exploding goodness of Ikki Tousen

by Andrew Yoon { Jun 11th 2008 at 2:30PM }

They say sex sells. Well, Marvelous is going to put that to the test in this upcoming PSP fighter, Ikki Tousen, where the female fighters will have their clothes explode when they're hit. We don't think we'd be too comfortable playing a game like this on a crowded subway ...

The slightly NSFW video is placed after the break. With such a fear of sex in the States, it's unlikely this game will ever successfully cross the pond.
