A Tecmo representitave reported today at 4:42 eastern time that the plans to "push the threashhold of sexuality" of the upcoming title Dead or Alive Hardcore Beach VolleyBall, will go through some changes in the United States Release. Team Leader for "Kunichi" (a code name for the project), Sung hi Maigaisaken has stated:
"Due to the sexual nature of the game, we do not feel at this time that it would be of Tecmo's best interest as a company to release it. There are plans underway to meet the November deadline with a release in both Japan and America simultaniously. Sexual content will be left to a minimum, however, in the form of a "Booster Disc", Players will be able to purchase the unedited pack dirrectly from Tecmo Online. The nature of the situation has subjected us to moderate the purchase to those 18 and up. Thank you"
Of course 99.99% of the Gamefaqs.com posters would concoct this in their pathetic little brains but at least it sounds official. If it is I'm sure every major Xbox site will make mention of it.

I just got the latest official xbox magazine, and it had an article on mature subject matter in video games, even bringing this title up and others. I don't recall it saying anything about the game being edited for the American public or the need for a booster disc to get the unedited version. The articled said that a recent poll revealed that the average game players age is now 26 so we should expect to see a lot of mature subject matter games coming out.
