Hmm, they hinted at the possibility of nudity. Would that sell it? Me, personally not.

Not sure it's the same game but X-Play previewed a wrestling game where the girls had matches to rip each others clothes off.

Hm... one sec there I thought it was some sort of wrestling version of that BMX racer thing, which supposedly was a travesty of a game. Sure, T&A sells, but there usually has to be a good game in there too. (Example: Tomb Raider. It probably wouldn't have sold as well with a boring guy as the main character, but it actually was a darn good game too.).

Konami is a somewhat serious company so I doubt it'll be anything too bad, but we'll see... or not.

We just love controversy....in fact we slap the term on just about anything even though most Americans could give a rats ass about any video game. It's just a term the media applies to any given topic to increase its percieved importance.

There was a BMX game very recently which featured nudity. Although for the American masses I believe is was 'blotched out' with the little face scrambler stuff they use on shows like Cops.

I like the idea of the wrestler's persona changing depending on how you play and other such. I'm fond of the overall idea behind wrestling games, but most just seem to be the same game with a few more characters and outfits. So if this brings something new to the table and the fight mechanics work well, I'll probably buy it.

La'ra, the only person looking at it from a technical standpoint.

The whole concept is immature & degrading to women.
Once again a game developer uses T&A and white trash behavior to sell a game< Instead of good story/graphics and good game play. Only some hopelessly dysfunctional nerd who has never kissed touched or talked to a woman would find this even remotely erotic or a 12 year old boy.
The wrestling is fine if you need that kind of red neck drama but they can leave the nudity out
If i want to watch porn ill watch porn. If i want to play a game ill play a game. i don't think the two should meet.
