Jesus, I don´t know why some guys get pissed about panties on a videogame. It´s just panties, get over it, it´s good stuff to see. Fuck off if someone labels gamers perverts, aren´t all human perverts anyway? Screw that! Games are good, sex is good! My 2 cents.

lucasreis

Damn! Mario gets to hit that?!

Lexcalibur

Not even slightly arousing...

argh

This is bringing back fond memories of SFII on SNES, Chun Lis bicycle kick and the pause button. You couldn't move the camera around to get the perfect money-shot like this new fangled wii, but hey, it was all we had!!!!

cybereality

I'm not surprised at the panties themselves, really, but these doggy-style and spread-eagle poses are hilarious!
Go Nintendo!

gunbu

Where's some high res shots of Zelda now?

Toprem

So the run-down for today's most popular stories...
Japan being anal toward foreigners? (7,755 views)
Analyzing anal analysts? (9,968 views)
...
Panty shots? (31,373 views)

That's a very large difference there :( Sex sells apparently

devmas

And we wonder why male gamers are viewed as man childs.

jasonng

<--patiently waiting for Samus and Zelda HD quality pantsu flashing... interwebs don't fail me now..!!

onomeister

When Kirby sucks in Peach and acquires Peachy abilities does he get those cute lace cheekies as well?

alb1221

I demand similar quality shots of Zelda. There was that video posted earlier but I can't rub one out to that.

Nobuyuki

no, people, just no...if anybody has been turned on, or choked the chicken to this, they need to, as an idiot in COD4 once said to me, GTFO!

Pancho_Villasan

@Ninja-Z: oh no, you did it the slow way, go to the trophy collection and move the camera upwards, the bottom of the trophy dissapears! it's basically like it wants you to look up her skirt!!

am I the only one who did that? I should be ashamed shouldn't I...

@BPM IIDX 8th style: You're right.

The sad part is that this is today's most viewed, by a LARGE MARGIN.

Covert_Knight

Panties panties panties. They're all the rage these days.

Eienhander

I see London, I see France! I see peaches underpants!

SkutSkut

what? no camel toe?

movingtarget

No Link upskirts? Shame on you! *rubs fingers like sticks*
@Kiriphii: They do kind of draw you in...
*snaps out of it*

Erwin

@DaiMacculate: When there's a mangling of words around here, it's usually kind of hard to tell what the intention is.

Grave

Pfff, no one cares. Where's those Ike up-skirts?

Ignited_Impulse

Zelda upskirts plz

Para

@NotAZombie:
Who?

Brian Ashcraft

While I personally think this is without a question the lamest thing Kotaku has ever posted (precisely because it isn't funny, and isn't ironic, and hasn't been thoughtfully presented), I'll assume the spirit of contributing to public edification by posting the following link. It details a US Supreme Court decision from 2001 that questions whether digitally created pornographic scenes (virtual porn) should be regulated in the same way as actual porn. Not the least of which would include the illegality pre-pubescent upskirt child porn.

Points to ponder: [www.cdt.org]

@The Cat With Two Heads: I'm not sure, I read it as "Risky" meaning the post was a risky thing to look at, particularly at school/work/etc, but now that you mention it they may mean Risque and its an Engrish-mangled spelling of the word, intentionally.

DaiMacculate

Also, isn't it "Risque"? Or am I missing some sort of inside joke here

The Cat With Two Heads

@Kiriphii:
Maybe you should draw a map of them, andy; so you don't get lost in them.

The Cat With Two Heads

Does Jack Thompson know about this?!?

phextin

Uh, Kotaku... you really oughta stop posting this stuff. It's funny, sure, but it's also kinda sad.

That said... HEARTS ON HER PANTIES?!?!?

HighlanderWolf

At least we know she's classy down to her bare essentials.

ChiChi_BBQ

Hahahahaha!!!!

CarbonatedWater

Hmmm... Victoria's Secret, Spring Catalogue, Page 24

Khalil

Yeah, the lace is on her tights, not her unmentionables.

Hate to break it to you.

LinkAMN

Seriously, why would you take screenshots of this!?

Let alone post about it.

I'm telling your wife dude...

Kamizzle

@demontaoist:

Don't view it then and it's like it never existed.

chiefpoopingpants

I'd tap it!

"It was just then, that she decided to use her super secret Wario-style, fart attack!"

Hell yeah, I'm buying Brawl just for panty shots!

Just imagine if this waS IN 1080p

D3Anon

*Cue Ai Otsuka "Peach" music* Oh my Princess Peach, OH MY.

y2kenjination

Is it bad that I'm a girl and I find this HILARIOUS?
I think people should lighten up a tad...

I mean, I want games to be taken seriously, too. As seriously as movies, even,

Now tell me, how many of you paused your "V for Vendetta" DVD just as Natalie Portman was rolling off the bed for that VERY intentional panty shot?

*Raises hand*

It's just funny to me. Games, TV, movies, whatever. People likey the pantsu shots.

YUYU

classy.

underground_slacker

OMG that second position looks so uncomfortable!

The eye candy sure will make the game more interesting though LOL

Puchi

Ashcraft, Jim Sterling over on Dtoid is making fun of you. You should drop the hammer on him. ;D

NotAZombie

@fyrtoes:

Touché.

QuirkyLittleTyrant

LOL!!! Its a japanese thing afterall. Pantsu fansarvisu.

joncoffee

Dairantou Smash Bros. X? More like... Dainrantu Smash Bros. XXX, mirite?

BPM IIDX 8th style

Nobody remembers this from Melee?

Come on, some of my friends would spend half an hour at most pausing the game at just the right time to get a peak at Peach's fine bloomers. The only thing new is the inclusion of Zelda in the mix.

Ninja-Z

Nosebleed.
damn, it's everywhere.

scotty

Boy shorts...nice choice. I prefer Brazilian cut but that's just me...boy shorts are nice too.

Cerif27

Pre-orders for Super Smash Bros. Brawl just quadrupled.

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

Thank god. An upskirt for super smash bros. This is surely helping in the fight for games to be taken seriously.

Gonzodamus

It makes me wonder who designed that portion of the body, and if they got paid extra to do it or paid to do it.

Haniko

Best use of a 512x512 texture I've seen in awhile...

I'd hit that.

Dakkonfire

I like it how some Developers go for the extra mile even for pointless stuff.

Nabilac

I never thought of Peach to be the granny panty type.

t0yrobo

This is just sick...

(In the bad, non-perverted sense of the word that is)

r0xx1t

@monorailcat:

Hahahaha!

dead_red_eyes

Hm, in the first set of pictures, Peach is getting smashed out of the arena in that position? O-O

reywing

Nintendo, thanks for thinking of us.
We perverted gamers will keep fighting the hordes of sonyers and xbots for you, just leave it in our hands.

Waka in Japan

Ha ha... this is wrong... XD

Quasimodo X

The expression on her face is priceless.

FeendRendor

@Jesu: Yeah, Super Princess Peach didn't have enough nakedness. And I won't even go into what kind of game Super Princess Peach was, now that I think about it...

JGab

What the hell..

drack48

Geez people. So now gamers can't have a little bit of immature fun, for fear of becoming "stereotyped" by the media? Let them say what they want to say, it's not like it will change the way they view gamers AT ALL.
You really think showing a character's panties is going to be thaaaaaat catastrophic? Save me the drama.

Ziren

She needs her own fan service game.

Jesu

Way to bring the gaming world down a notch by posting this Kotaku.

CopyPaste

What's that? I can't hear you over all this fapping.

Project Thanatos

Do you think they'd make those into real pantsu? o:

Kiwi Kamikaze

I think they finally realized how much we enjoy those upskirt freeze-frames. "Let's give them something cute to look at!"

Maybe Princess Zelda has a pink Triforce on her panties?

Ziren

@PJK: Are you going to tell me people never freeze-framed movies with similar intent?

Incidentally her underwear is pretty cute and perfectly modest, just as you'd expect. :)

quen

Got it at Luigi's Secret.

Spoony Bard

Hello Rule 34.

zwilliams07

@PJK:

Artistic elitism, this is no worse than Fragonard's most famous work, "The Swing".

For those who don't know, "The Swing" is a painting about a guy looking up his girlfriend's skirt while she rides on a swing while being pushed by a preacher. He did this on commission, which means someone actually paid him to do this.

Pezdispenser

@PJK: Third post^ by my count....

PJK

This post by my count and chances are I've missed a couple. Does anyone still wonder why games are not taken seriously as an art form?

PJK

have you seen the pantsu on assassin's creed? woah woah woah!

Gaz

You could do that in Melee to an extent, I mean she was wearing bloomers in it but you could so do it!

excel_excel

Epic.

goldwings

you could actually do this in Melee to an extent, she was kind of wearing bloomers in that, but you could do it!

excel_excel

Wow that's quite the spread you've got there.

mariogalaxyman

@ahmeng: o_O

okenny :)

Princess Peach has, officially, more upskirt shots than Paris Hilton.

captronj

I dunno, this is more cute than pervy. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

knulpm

I'd hit it.

PERVS!!!!

WillW

ROFL I can hear Jack Thompson now "SSBB promotes rape and violence against women...just look at her as she falls down after being pimp slapped by Mario, and is FORCED to show her panies."

Seiven

Somewhere, a Nintendo employee was paid to render these. Living the dream, man...

Wei

I think...I can see a faint trace of camel toe.

Mr. Fap☆Fap!

@Kiriphii:

oh wow that totally just made my day XD

hotgarbage

Wow.

Funny how Mr Ashcroft wrote about the ignorance/tolerance towards racism in Japan when the social issue of real relevance to video games is chauvinism.

Guess that doesn't concern anyone here. Meanwhile, I think 5 shots of increasing magnification on Princess Peach's vagina is fairly offensive, and I'm not typically easily offended.

demontaoist

Pantsu
Seriously, those are less skimpy than her tennis shorts, who cares.

Pombar

looks like she's got her panties in a knot.

or, at least, a 'knot' in her panties...

hmmm

ltcmurray

Wow, even lots of detail on panties.

KM91

i see a bit of cameltoe in the first.

moominsean

I feel kinda dirty now...
But still amusing to see the amount of details they put in.

Poison

Did the same thing happen when Smash Bros Brawl was released?

I cant remember this much fascination with Peach's underwear...

Vistrix

Haha, I knew she liked to get dirty.

SavageSalad

Those underwear are really cute! Very princessy.

Hollette

Imagine Virtual panties on 1080P HD GRAFIXx0rZ..

Dude From Dubai

Boobies or GTFO. I KID I KID!

*ducks*

KK

KittenKiller

THEY ARE DOING IT RIGHT.

DankPanties

Now that we've discovered the eighth wonder of the modern world (hyperbole intended), people can finally rest easy knowing H-doujinshi artists now have an accurate depiction of Peach panties so we can all feel like we're not being lied to while viewing the latest of issue of 'Mushroom Vagoo'. Shigeru Miyamoto has died internally just a little more.

KeroseneClimax

Booooyyyy some Nintendo fans are going to get a kick out of this. :/

GuardianEarth

Interesting screenshots... big attention to detail... almost as if Nintendo knew we would try this...
Anyone else think that Nintendo has some sort of mind reading device implanted in our brains?

Xeneizes

This made me feel really, really dirty.

Yet still I like ;)

DaiMacculate

WHAT !!!!

No thong!!!!!!!

DENIED.

:(

irnchriz

So... you guys fiercely defend the exploration of sexual themes in video games against the uninformed behemoths of American news networks, but then make post after post about upskirt shots in video games and statues that can be stripped nude?

Guys, face it: from the sexual perspective, you ARE what those so hated news networks paint you as. I'm embarrassed to see this on such a popular gaming website. I don't like to have to put people in the same category as IGN.

Spoiler Duck

@Phunk:
Yet you clicked on the link like all of us. One of us, one of us, one of us.

ebrake

thats a lot of detail for something that i supposed wasn't meant to be seen.

ninja_squirrel

This is really disturbing. It's shit like this that gives gamers a really bad name.

I really don't like being grouped in with a bunch of arrested development weirdos.

Phunk

It's very sad to which lengths some folks go to see the underwear of some overly pink digital chick.

IrisMR

Sakurai you perv.

I still wanted sports wear, but I guess it's possible to take the skirts off in this one too, right?

Seestoff

Next Wii accessory: Official Princess Peach Panties!!! Coming soon 3rd party knock off panties.

tnx3

This is funny.

WolfGod

THAT'S why Mario keeps rescuing her!

tobi72

Great now it's just a matter of time before Fox news is holding round table discussions with idiots about this.

Adam

Bloody Hell!

Father ColdCuts

@Sniper_Zegai: damn right

Prodigys Flawless

If you look closely there's a label on it, says from victoria's secret.

nxp3

I guess it got delayed to edit this out for the US and PAL versions of the game.

Irenicus-the one and only

No more up skirts for Princess Peach after this =[? He didn't say anything about Zelda up skirts though =D!

R1co281

Now that's what I call next-gen!

Garo

Maximus Riskeus.

And to think, if only they'd chosen a FEMALE from the MGS universe...

pylon_trooper

I'm glad this is the last one... cuz this is fucking creeeeepy.

Livid

Everytime I come across a kotaku post like this makes me LOL at how many people are intrigued by the undies of a video game character.

Cheese

@QuirkyLittleTyrant:
Due to your comment, I have now adjusted my disgusted sigh from "girls" to "cooks."

fyrtoes

Giggles. I want some knickers like that.

stromasdragon

@QuirkyLittleTyrant:

I hope that means good things towards me!

But yeah, just saw them before I saw the giant panties. I pay attention to detail - I'm weird like that ^^;

Kiriphii

Damn, look at that sweet peach(yeah, double meaning). MMM. This is why I love her. Not for the amazing float and recovery ability. Oh no, it's the sweet sweet PANTSU!

Zyzex_Remix

This just in: Princess Peach confirmed as playable in DoA5!

Seriously though... Shame on you Nintendo. Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!

*saves screenshots*

What?

AlKusanagi

Id hit it.

Sniper_Zegai

Methinks the Kotaku eds finally made the connection between 'sex' and 'page views'.

Seems everythings goin' Maximum Risky these days.

Komrade_Kayce

I always said you could tell a lot about a woman by her panties...

Sparx88

Is this why we have to wait an extra month for this game?
Not pleased, Nintendo. Not pleased.

On another note, I always had a feeling she had a naughty side...

heavenlyeire

Hot tears would have fit this one so much better. Because that's what I want to do. Weep.

Revenge_of_Nekojin

is this 720p or 1080?

ahmeng

@Kiriphii:

Due to your comment, I have now adjusted my disgusted sigh from "men" to "some men."

QuirkyLittleTyrant

@Kiriphii: And that's not creepy at all.

TrevWolf

I L~IKE! HOW MUCH!?

Mlata

Sorry to be a hopeless romantic, but on the second set of shots, her eyes look so beautiful @_@

Kiriphii

Do I see streak marks?

Legend of Orin

granny panties

Dreadfish

Hawt.

Ryan Saotome

Details details. Seems like they made those on purpose. I mean, come on. People were bound to do it, so why not make it look pretty? :X

GM08

Gigitty.

monorailcat

Not just white blocky panties? *Gasp*

sUKi

I thought panties like that went out of style in the 50's. At least that's what I learned from your mom.

Dorphat the Insomniac

I know why the game was delayed, the lace work on her panties where not finished in time.

jackal888

Damn, Thats some attention to detail 0_o

jpxdude

This is just wrong..... Princess Peach? WTF?

No big deal: developers having to model and texture underwear.

A bit disturbing: multiple screenshots of Princess Peach's granny pants underwear 3 times in a row.

kunio

Her little boyshorts are cute

Adorkablyflcl

@R1co281: The thing about zelda is that it whould be pretty damn hard to get a shot of her panties because she's wearing a cuirass bodice...
I took costume history, I have to know this stuff

MadModderX

You'd have thought that with the insane character roster, the texture artists would have been too busy to capture this. Then you remember that they're men.

Johnzim

@Trowble (XBL/PSN):
omy, of course!

zerojad

hahahaha.. oh man, this really makes me laugh.

the funny thing, is i remember when i was about 14, playing Jak and Daxter, and rotating the camera to try and look at the cute girl elf better.

LOL. i suppose this is sort of in the vein... although i think graphics are going to need to come a long way before i could literally say what i was looking at was "hot"

haha, but maybe i just dont have as good of an imagination?

joelface

I wonder how Mario would feel about this. "Mama-mia!"

So like... I see all this Peach pantry raves but what about Zelda? Is she just elusive enough to not allow any pervs looking up her dress?

Kitty

LOL I wonder if a potential playable character was lost in development due to the time needed to detail Peach :P

Aiwokote

Have any of you played Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door?

Nothing new here, people. Move along.

Paviel

SSBB is the new Mass Effect, I can see it now. :3
Oh the media circus will have a field day with this one.

DELICIOUS BUNNY

The princess has some creamy thighs

Altima NEO

I just admitted myself into a maximum security mental hospital after viewing these pictures.

dowingba

@devmas: Sex sells, but more specifically, women's bodies sell.

I might think this is cute, if every third entry lately weren't upskirts, hentai games or semi-nude figurines. I started reading Kotaku after hearing they tried to avoid the "boys club" style of game reporting, but I've been hugely disappointed lately.

Marloe

I swear that they took time to mold her very realistically. I mean, I wouldn't be suprised if someone gets an upskirt shot with cameltoe.

Sintariot

Pervs... Yes... I clicked the link.

randomshagz

Weeelllllllll!........You can tell by the smell that she isn't feeling well,
When the end of the month rolls around.

NadafingaMcDuff

How about a little moistness?

NadafingaMcDuff

no wonder mario wants to lay his pipe on this broad..HEHEHEHEHEH... :D

zanzibarlegend

@moominsean: What's wrong with cameltoe?

And has anyone else wondered where all of the female posters of Kotaku have gone? Hmmm this might explain it.

blacksamurai87

who fucking cares.

fatbaldnet

@Kiriphii: I don't know about romantic, but that definitely sounds hopeless.

NotJeff

Suddenly the wait for the EU release has me even more upset :(

Makeda

Again, you stun me with your ceaseless dedication to the hard hitting and deeply insightful news stories. This is why I rarely visit your site.
