When did people start becoming scandalized by cleavage in video games again? I'm honestly pretty hyped about Soul Calibur IV since this console generation has had precisely no quality fighting games thus far. (With the possible exception of DBZ Burst Limit, which I've not gotten to play enough to form a strong opinion about.) Granted I think the inclusion of Star Wars characters is asinine, but Yoda will just go in the corner with other characters I never use like Voldo.

I'm sorry to say it, but the ol' Wii has been collecting a bit of dust lately. I got some good play out of Mario Kart, but looking at the upcoming release schedule on Gamefaqs leaves me completely cold. Kidnicky has a good idea though. I'd love to see a massive, beautiful 2D Castlevania on the Wii (or wherever) made with the same attention as the DS Castlevania titles. Hopefully Konami will realize that there's consumer interest in that.

I'll be honest with you - I realy don't care about the cleavage as much as the gameplay. It's a big plus, I'll admit, but if the gameplay sucks, I'm not interested. Sure, Ivy's been on-and-off the playboy wagon since she premiered in the series(her most "decent" attire was Soul Calibur 3s') but all in all, I'm willing to bet that once in-game, no one bothers because they're busy fighting. Sure, the physics engine's gonna be at full effect(I'm not complaining) but when folks cry for "realisim", that's what you get.

Besides - remember, the japanese feel clothing-erotica is natural and accepted, unlike how we're preached and sheltered over here.

As for Street Fighter, need I remind folks of Super Street Fighter II's rendition of Cammy? As far as I know, that was the first case of "softcore" exposure/sexuality on a videogame character since METROID. I don't remember hearing anyone complaing about it back then, and I DO remember seeing her little "bounce" whereever available.....

Chun-Li looked decent, but wasn't "as detailed" as her SFIII self....'sides, she's the "ultimate woman", right? What's wrong with a little exemplification?

Let's also not forgot Mai "Me Bouncy" Shiranui from all the old SNK games, or the fact that Felicia the cat chick from Darkstalkers was essentially naked.

I dunno, my main concern with SC IV is revolves less around boobies than my fears that the character editor will be lame. It came across as a total afterthought in SCIII.

To me, the most distracting thing about big boobs in polygon fighting games is bad physics... which is not to say that I'm asking for MORE bounce. Just handle it realistically... a gal might be braless, or in a sports bra, or in a metal chestplate. What I find distracting is physics like in the very first incarnation of Dead or Alive, where the boobs just seemed to be floating around in zero- or low-gravity. I like hot chicks in my video games but I never got on the Dead or Alive bandwagon because of that... really moved like they were underwater, or were smuggling balloons....
