Last year at the Tokyo Game Show, Level-5 announced they were making an RPG on the 3DS specifically targeted toward girls. I was interested by the idea. What exactly is a “girl’s RPG.” Would it present girls with a strong female role model or would it just be a traditional princessy love story? But whatever I expected from Level-5, I never would have guessed that it would be set in a Japanese hostess club. I couldn’t believe it.
When you think of virtual bar hostess game Dream Club, you think of girls in micro outfits. You think of underpants galore.
Large breasts and video games are not strangers. But apparently, sometimes breasts are not large enough? Sometimes they need a little help? The latest downloadable content for Xbox 360 game The Dream Club Zero is doing just that.
This evening in Japan, the unthinkable happened: a paid actor played visual novel Clannad in front of millions on network television. Then, he played Xbox 360 hostesses simulator Dream Club and hugged the television.
For years, glimpses up skirts were used to titillate Japanese gamers. A new game’s done away with that entirely. It is moving beyond, to new realms of I-don’t-know-what.
