Fuck these pussy developers who rarely confront their competition. I don't care about your new features, I want you to talk shit and tell me how bad the other game is! Fuck your PR! Would Team Ninja's Tomonobu Itagaki try to shamelessly one up the competition? Totally, then he'd flat out call it "shit" while trying to skull fuck it. Thats why I love Itagaki. Well, after reading the BBFC's detailed report as to why Ninja Gaiden II got an 18+ rating, it seems Mr. Itagaki may be trying to one up God of War's bath boobies. Here is the report, all of it is violence violence violence, then the good part.

Following their rating of the game a few days ago the BBFC have updated their site to give more details on why Ninja Gaiden got an 18 rating from the board. As you may have already read on this site this is the first time a Ninja Gaiden got a 18 rating in the UK.

The increase is apparently due to the game containing “very graphic violence and bloody gore” with “Ryu’s weapons sending body parts flying through the air and onto the walls and the ground, with blood splattering beside them.” According to the BBFC this goes above what they warrant as a 15 rating, as violence in a game “may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury” to attain that rating.

From there the classifaction goes on to explain more details on the game, commenting on the story where players “assume the role of Ryu, a ninja who must try to save his girlfriend from his mortal enemy“.

Weapons in the game are also detailed, with the BBFC commenting that “Ryu gathers various weapons as the game progresses, including a sword, nunchucks, bow & arrow, twin swords, a scythe, metal claws and so on”.

The effects of these weapons are also remarked on. “Each of these produces slightly different gore effects against the enemies - for example a staff weapon reduces bodies to sticky lumps of flesh. The player can also use special powers, including the ability to set enemies on fire - this results in sight of the immolated victims screaming and twitching after falling to the ground,” reveals the BBFC

The games enemies are also hit on. “Many of the enemies at the start of the game are human, as you progress they become more fantastical (some with green blood), and the boss opponents consist of magical witches, giant monsters etc,” they reveal

Finally, a cutscene from the game is revealed, with the BBFC stating that “The game also contains a ‘cutscene’ in which a female character bathes in blood and talks to Ryu with her breasts and buttocks visible.”

We are sure that one will end up on Fox News!

Now that makes it seem like you get to see full Team Ninja boobies but the ESRB's content description only says "Partial Nudity" so who knows. Is Itagaki trying to 1 up God of War? Probably not directly. If it is true though, thats a 2 up on hardcore awesomeness.

Any post regarding Team Ninja disclaimer: yes I'm aware they're pixels blah blah blah, look at real porn, blah blah blah, get a girlfriend, blah blah blah don't care
