Aksys Games is bringing muscular, thong-wearing flying men to your PSP. Great.
Kidding. I love Cho Aniki (not in that way), and I still regularly play the Saturn version. This homoerotic spin on the shoot-em-up has gone portable in Cho Aniki Zero, and Aksys was secure enough in its manliness to bring it Stateside. If you're new to the Cho Aniki world, you might appreciate Aksys' story description:
Since the death of Balzac, the Builder Planet has celebrated a long period of peace. However, as time goes by, protein becomes scarce, and protein deficiency is soon a serious problem for the Builder Planet. As people struggle for control over what protein is left, Balzac II begins his subtle rise to power... Learning of his return, Idaten and Benten take up arms and begin their man-tastic voyage...
That's right. Man-tastic.
Oiled up men will be flying your way in the spring of 2010. I can't wait to see what the ESRB rates this.
For now, check out some new screenshots in our gallery below.

In fact, I don't think I'd want to be seen playing it at all.
On the Continue screen you have to pump your protein and the two bald dudes are lying on top of each other.
Also it is not a good shooter.
Incidentally, did Idaten bulk himself up like massively since the original Cho Aniki on TG-16 CD/Virtual Console?
@ William;
Yeah, looks like Benten is female...or a trap.
Now, if only nintendo would put up Ai Cho Aniki on the VC now...
