The Dimensions of Common Sense, Dead or Alive?

By now we’ve probably all heard about it. The accusations of the latest Team Ninja title, Dead or Alive Dimensions, containing child pornography and, after coming to the attention of the Australia Government, being pulled from Australian shelves.

The Dead or Alive series, originally started in 1996 as an arcade title by developer Tomonobu Itagaki, who is famed for his rockstar persona, makes no excuses about the use of sexualisation in its game play. Famed for the “breast jiggle” (and later “breast physics”) – the amount of which could be increased or decreased depending on what age the player inputs themselves as – as well as the prevalent panty shot from characters foolish enough to wear mini-skirts in a fight, the series seemed to have taken things “too far” following the release of Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, a sequel to the spin-off beach volleyball game series, as the characters now wore more skimpy bathing suits than ever and lingerie better suited for private activities than public beach contests.

But still, the concept of three girls in particular; Kasumi (17), Ayane (16) and Kokoro (17), being involved in these activities with their elder sisters did not crop up. Largely because, due to age restriction laws, the ages of these girls were not displayed in certain releases of the game, and their own physical depiction, with proportions closer to adults than minors, is a far cry from what their ages should have them actually appear as.

NZherald, a news blog affiliated with The New Zealand Herald newspaper, claims that the latest game in the series – Dead or Alive Dimensions for Nintendo 3DS – “is believed to violate child pornography laws with features that enable a player to undress female characters and photograph them from any angle, including under their skirts. It is also believed that underage girls appear in sexualised situations in the game.”

Actual gameplay footage of Dead or Alive: Dimensions. NSFW, apparently.

First off, the game does NOT enable the player to undress female characters, however, the game does possess a photography/screenshot option to enable players to pause and check out their cool poses in statue form. This attribute has been in the series since its conception, however, and is not a dominant feature of the series. Instead only used at the player’s whim.

The camera function in Dead or Alive Dimensions allows players to pause and take photos of their characters in various positions, at their discretion.
