Queen's Blade: it's a Japanese gaming series, a mobile phone game, and the object of desire for several socially wacked "otaku" nerds. That would be because of the entirely female roster, all of which are mostly running around in the buff with giant swords. It's also going to be a brand-new Namco-Bandai PSP game, and we wanted to take a second to tell you guys three VERY important things about the series that spawned this new fighting title.
#3: This game will never come to the U.S.
Now that we're ignoring Pokecrap for the time being, let's talk about something steamy and exotic. Queen's Blade, a fighting game based on a sexy Dungeons & Dragon-style "Game Book" series, just got announced in Japan for the PSP, but it's not coming to U.S. shores. This is a travesty.
So, why the overseas ban?
Well, the plot of Queen's Blade is essentially Mortal Kombat, except the Outworld is the Medieval Ages, the fighters are all nubile Amazon women with enormous amounts of breastage, and the Fatalities are replaced with ripping people's clothes off. Essentially, it's just the best series of anything in history. That's exactly why we're not going to be getting this game in America, since the ESRB would have to invent a new rating for it. Damn.
Just like the anime, the Queen's Blade fighters play dirty, going right for the soft, tender spots. OUCH.
#2: It has a totally NSFW anime on Japan TV.
The Queen's Blade anime just started airing across the Pacific, and it's actually pretty good without the subtitles. Don't know what the heck is going on though. Probably gonna watch the whole series in my spare time, anyway.
Oh, and, if you're not safe at work, check out a REALLY detailed analysis on the Queen's Blade anime from the nerds at the Random Curiosity blog -- it has all the NC17 stuff we're not posting here.
#1: They're still publishing those sexy "Game Books".
Seriously. They're everywhere on the Internet. We just got our hands on the special-edition "Mai Shiranui" game book. Oh, Mai. Why aren't you in King of Fighters XII?!
O;O ... Well, that's definitely booked MY night solid.
