The Cho Aniki games might not be terribly well known to gamers raised on Nathan Drake, but back in the day these risqué adventures featured real men – Samson and Adon, both musclebound and, well, rather fond of other men.
Essentially a series of side scrolling innuendo-laden shoot-em-ups, the Cho Aniki games courted controversy when they were originally released on the PC Engine and SNES back in 1995. With ‘white energy beams’ that fire from holes in heads, pelvic thrusts and all manner of phallic imagery, it’s not hard to see why.
Regardless, it looks like the games are heading to the PS3, with the ESRB revealing the information (via Siliconera) – and the rating sounds like a wet dream for at least one member of the TSA team.
“The game depicts photo-realistic muscle men in tight Speedo underwear who defeat several fantastical enemies: giant man-powered vehicles, floating disembodied heads and noses, animal-man hybrid creatures that explode in fiery bursts,” say the ESRB.
“Some sequences depict muscle-bound men forming human pyramids, cradling each other, and posing in provocative positions (e.g., heads submerged near characters’ crotches). One boss character fires lasers from a phallic-shaped rod that extends from his hip.”
“Another giant boss character shoots out gas clouds from his buttocks.”

Sounds like the GBDC would be right at home here.

i can see what sort of reception this game will get on most gaming sites.
good job it’s not coming out on the xbox, the xbox forums would be flooded with puritanical bigots, sorry, that’s not true.
even more flooded with puritanical bigots.
it’ll be interesting to see how gamers react to this game, all the games that feature women wearing practically nothing, and now this comes along.
may we now see how fragile the male ego really is? :)
anyway, the game doesn’t really appeal to me, ironically i prefer the women wearing hardly anything to men, and anything that involves the word phallic? count me out.
