Apparently team ninja spent an inordinate amount of time writing code to simulate bouncing breasts more accurately. That’s dedication for you. ;-)

Perhaps a mod to stop the breasts bouncing in their games would be a good idea in the interests of decency. Oh maybe not!

Just noticed the gem “one that one” in my earlier post. Obviously that was meant to be “won that one”. ;-)

Thanks for that, David – I didn’t know the back story.

I’m trying really hard to understand the logic of suing your most devoted fans…

At first I was quite surprised about this until I got to the games involved. Tomonobu Itagaki (runs Team Ninja who make DOA) is, quite simply, absolutely bonkers.

Tecmo have sued before over the DOA characters. They (well, him really) see them as something more than game characters and treat any changes as a personal affront. The previous lawsuit was similar (although more corporate) as a company released code that allowed you to hack DOA2 and remove the clothes from one of the characters. Tecmo one that one but that was the japanese court – nintendo lost a similar case over the Game Genie in America.

I’m assuming I’m not alone in thinking that’s ridiculous?
