We knew PSP game Dead or Alive Paradise would be sexy, but the new Japanese trailer beats it into your head. Paradise should be sexy, right? It should have bikini girls playing in the pool or on the beach. It should have -- let's see -- beach ball, minigames, a casino and shopping, all populated by sexy girls, of course. It should have flowers in hair, slow motion hair flipping and hazy camera filters. And speaking of cameras, it should have a photo mode to let you take horny pictures with.
Oh, and it should have a new character named Rio.
Substance? No, it shouldn't have that. Challenge? No, none of that either. A portable, perverted game about nothing sounds like Paradise to me.
[Update: This game drops in North America in the Spring of 2010, says Tecmo Koei]

Whoa, Rio's in this? I'm not sure where she's from exactly, I think it has "Blackjack" in the name (hookers, possibly), but I guess seeing her in DOA fanarts had some basis, eh?
Ah, it's called Super Blackjack. Still not sure what it is (though I'm sure I could check; I'm just lazy). NSFW fanart (& maybe ofikalz?) link: http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/index?tags=rio
I have to agree; DOAX 2 was horrible in basically every respect. The original one was actually pretty fun. Especially drunk multiplayer, but somehow the volleyball actually got ruined in 2; the control just sucked. The minigames were way too frustrating and the perv factor was ruined due to shoddy camera control.
The wave runner stuff was ok, but got old pretty quickly since it was the only thing worth doing.
seeing something like that makes me think that games like sexy beach would be possible on the psp.
not like theres much of a difference between the two games. but really, whats holding them back from making a series of H-games for dead or alive? they'd probably get more than their money's worth with that. i mean shit, not much else you can do with that franchise.

I need it, but I can't afford to import the sexy edition from Japan.
I wonder if Rio will be in the next proper DoA?

probably the worst video game i have ever played (no i have no ventured in to the world of superman 64).
there is nothing to the game. and even on a basic "pervert" level it falls flat on its face
