Quick Quote: Team Ninja tried to 'tone down' sex appeal but fans wanted bigger boobs

"We were getting feedback from the overseas offices to tone down the sexuality -- to tone down the sexiness of the game, and of the characters. We actually got a lot of feedback from people who were playing it, saying, 'We want bigger breasts. Make the characters more like that.' That was kind of surprising."

Give them boobs or give them death! Remember when Team Ninja wanted to tone down Dead or Alive 5's (DoA 5) sex appeal? Remember when they didn't? We now know why that's the case and fans have themselves to thank says the game's director Yohei Shimbori. He explained to Gamasutra (via EventHubs) that fans wanted bigger breasts.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 patch coming Oct. 9

What Katsuhiro Harada says, goes.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (TTT2) was released for Xbox 360 and PS3 on Sept. 11. The Wii U version will be available on the console's launch date (Nov. 18). While the game has gained positive feedback from critics and fans, there are still some holes to cover.

Besides the Ancient Ogre infinite, there are more issues at hand. Gamers are struggling to get in ranked matches. For some the game will struggle to find a match even though the online community is substantial. Another problem has to do with the game's difficulty offline.

TTT2's producer Harada addressed these topics on his Twitter account and assured fans that these would be fixed when the patch is released on Oct. 9.

MvC2: BrettH123's Mega Man Buster Glitch Exhibition Vol. 1

Guess who's at it again?

Perhaps the most consistent and persistent Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (MvC2) uploader BrettH123 continues to shine. Despite the fact that MvC2 is over 12 years old, he always finds a way to keep it fresh and relevant. His "Mega Man Buster Glitch" adds legitimacy to those bold claims.

Here's what Brett told FightVG.com:

"I chose to be more creative (and) innovative, and so I experimented
by seeing how the game slows down when combining this glitch with
certain THCs. I show charged buster traps where multiple buster
shots (and) assist calls surround the character and do 100% chip damage. I
also explored the off-screen glitch whereby Mega Man disappears from  the
arena, yet his sound effects can still be heard and flying screen mode
is permanently installed. Another area I explored is using the glitch
to do incredible dead body combos."

Watch the video below.

Dead or Alive 5 available now

Boobies! Or is it so much more?

Tecmo Koei and Team Ninja's Dead or Alive 5 (DoA 5) is now (Sept. 25) available in North America. The game garnered some mixed review thus far, IGN gave the new fighter an 8.8 while Gamespot felt 7.5 was the right score. Game Informer went with a significantly lower 6.0 score.

DoA 5 producer Yosuke Hayashi has made it clear pre-release that his goal was to make the game more about the fighting and less about sex appeal. Adding swimsuits didn't exactly help the quest, but I don't think anyone is complaining.

The publishers behind DoA 5 didn't win many fans over with their Online Pass, but with goodies like this who can stay mad at them? Throw in a Collector's Edition of this game and you've got the biggest DoA release to date. Watch BloodBurger unbox the set, after the jump.

Masahiro Sakurai still directing new Smash Bros. game, Namco Bandai "providing expertise"

It was the announcement you either loved or hated.

Back in June, Nintendo revealed Namco Bandai will develop the next Smash Bros. game set for a Wii U and 3DS release. Project Sora still has a role in the game's progress during development. Despite this, fans had mixed reactions.

Those in favor of the change felt Namco Bandai would add legitimacy to the game as a competitive fighter. Those opposed to it felt the change was unwarranted and the Smash community is fine as it is.

Talk about the double edged sword.

What does this mean for the man who started it all? Masahiro Sakurai is still the lead man says Katsuhiro Harada, but he won't have the Tekken team with him. Harada and Namco Bandai explain to Kotaku:
