Start dieting, girls: D3 ships out Onechanbara costumes to promote the game photo

I've seen some bizarre swag in my day (the giant stuffed animal heads from Hudson to promote Kororinpa were a personal favorite), but I have to laugh at the creativity here. MTV Multiplayer got a little package from D3 to promote the release of the Onechanbara games coming up for the Wii and Xbox 360 (Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers and Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad, respectively) containing an Onechanbara bikini, hat, sword and tube of fake blood to coat the sword with and shake off accordingly.

By the way, the bikini is a small. Maybe we could coerce Jim Sterling into wearing it while performing SingSterling this Saturday. What do you think of that idea?

[Thanks, Jonathan]

He'll probably already be wearing the bikini by the time you ask him.

Do not send one to Asian Joe - the internets can't handle it.
