Breast fondling as marketing for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 photo

I'm all for breast fondling, but it has never occurred to me that it could be used as a form of marketing. Leave it to the hornballs at Tecmo to try it out first.

In the video below, watch as passers-by fondle two protruding breast shapes along a wall in Japan. I love how no one has any issue with a quick caress, save maybe for the lady at seven seconds in. She looks disgusted. The guy at 0:13 looks around first before giving them a squeeze, and several others follow -- even a couple, one on each breast. Look above the installation: there's actually two hands reaching over the top, which suggests a totally different mental image behind the panel.

The only indicator that this perverse ad has anything to do with games is small print in the lower right hand corner of the installation.  Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, it proudly boasts. That's our Tecmo.

@FawkAndSuck

Actually, Japan has some of the lowest sexual drive statistics in the world. Ironically, the United States has the most, averaging 132 times of sexual intercourse a year. Even more ironic is your name...hah So I would change your statement to include 'America' instead of 'Japan'.

I love how the guy at 0:21 is being dragged away by his woman.

Hahah. I also laughed out loud. I love how some of the dudes didn't hesitate or even stop walking. Like it was normal for boobs to be on a wall, and what else do you do to them other than fondle? Drive by molestation.

I love the guy being dragged by his girlfriend as he's trying to get a hand on them. He's like "no. . . come back. . ." LMAO

AWESOME.

Leave it to the Japanese to take a concept like the glory hole, change it slightly and then apply it in a totally bizarre manner no normal person would ever conceive of.

haha, thats pretty subtle for Japan. Guess it is in public though. If they had been 'soft' some Otaku would have crowbarded it off to take home :P.

Controversial? - Ive seen clothes manaquins with more anatomical detail.

My fav is definity the guy with his girlfriend - "ungh, must stop to touch boobs..."

Funny and disturbing....the "disturbing" is on the part of the marketing (guess Tomo being gone hasn't changed anything at Tecmo), the Japanese people (men + one woman) are just doing what comes naturally for sensually curious beings...

This is the problem I have with Tecmo, first they say they remove the blood. Then they decide that it's okay to promote it with boob touching. Seems a little wrong to me.

@satience

Your assumption is wrong. A low sex drive doesn't correlate with how many times a year a person screws someone.

Sex as an act takes two. The Japanese are more than sexed up. It's a nation of perverts. It's just that they're too shy/lazy to actually screw anyone.

Geez the Japs are a bunch of horndogs. That video was great; especially when the lady had to drag her BF/husband away.

What the heck? Those breasts are white as hell, they don't even look like breasts, and why are people constantly touching them? Do they go in to clothing stores and feel up all the mannequins there?

The ps3 collectors edition will come with a ps3 compatible novint falcon, and a breast fondling mini game during the installation using the controller.

The guy being dragged away is classic. "No...no! Please, need to touch! Awww...stupid girlfriend with her real boobies."

So the point is that the ninja was hiding out so she could trick people into groping her?

She could have probably just asked?

OMG lol, they are just two round white orbs jutting out of a wall! That gal almost had to drag her boyfriend away from touching them! Sometimes it hurts to watch the simplicity of the human male mind.

Anyone stop to think that the guy with the girlfriend stopped for a reason?

Apparently he has to get it where he can find it. He's probably locked down.

I love it. Just goes to show that regular ninja hiding tricks won't work if you have GIGABREASTS.

Other issues aside, I wonder just how effective this campaign is. Honestly, the whole concept is self-referential to the point of lapsing over into solipsism, given that it probably takes serious gamer nerds like us to understand why it's perversely appropriate for game developer Tecmo in particular to have weird ads with big breasts. What if you're not a hardcore gamer and don't know Tecmo's history as the breast brigade of video gaming? Sex undeniably sells, but it's got to have at least some context to it...
