Japan keeps all the boobs for itself: Soul Calibur cover-up scandal? photo

We're dedicated to bringing you only the most relevant and hard-hitting weekend news, which is why we bring you grave word that Soul Calibur IV's Ivy might show a little less of her fat wobbly tits in the American version of the game than in the Japanese version -- JOURNALISM! The above image is a comparison shot, with the breasticle-laden Ivy on the left as she appears on the Japanese SC IV Web site, and the more modest Ivy on the right as she appears on the American site.

As someone who keeps abreast of these matters, I want to know what incompetent boob decided this. If mammary serves me correctly, this game has always been about the bare skin, so someone ought to nip it in the bud.

Namco Bandai, hear this! I demand that Ivy's lactoids be on display for all to see. We've already lost the fatalities in Mortal Kombat; we refuse to surrender our snuggle pups, loblollies and twangers. We deserve the sweater meat as much as any Japanese gamer. So help me God, I will destroy you if this is not resolved. Bops, tomatoes, chimichongas and kazongas.

Okay, I'm done.

Ridiculously immature article aside, I'm all for the cover up. Even as a lesbian the new pandering of Soul Calibur to the drooling DoA crowd has been nothing but disappointing. Any covering up of those utterly pointless tits is a good thing.

I like breasts as much as the next straight guy (lol), but is it really so much to ask that they're kept remotely realistic? e_e

I'm not buying the game because of this unless it is uncensored. It's not that I'm particularly interested in Ivy's tits, I'm just sick and tired of games being changed or censored when they are brought over to the states.

Am I the only one who doesn't fap to Ivy?? The other girls in the game look much better. And that's not IMHO, that's fact.

I hope they cover that up in the American version. Personally I don't want to see that in my game when it's not really necessary. I understand that they're trying to appeal to the general audience of horny nerds who read websites etc, but it disgusts me in that it's so unnatural and disgusting.
Also, what the fuck, how can a fucking ribbon cover nipples like that? (side note)

Ah, Ivy breasts.

So complex, yet intriguingly simple to endulge in.

Gotta say the outfit looks better with them covered. Less hookerish if you will. I'm not normally against boob covers its just the costume has always looked off to me even in all its boobtastic glory. if its any consolation I would be more than happy to have that as an unlockable/alternate costume or something.

Morrigan just beats Ivy in the 'computer game crush' department.

Ivy still looks hot, despite the cover up.

You know, even clothed, they still look freakishly, ungodly huge. In a poncho, they'd still look ridiculous.

FYI, the American site "looks better" only if you choose to be "Darkness". If you choose "Light" when you enter the site, it looks the same only the color is different, and both cases, boobs are still covered up. :P
