AtomIkki Tousen: Shining Dragon gives a new meaning to “battle damage”
Insert Credit who is also glancing over Marvelous home page from time to time spotted a game based off of Ikki Tousen, a martial arts manga where schools are at war with each other. The obvious genre choice for a game is fighting and Marvelous came up with a gimmick to push the title. During fights characters in Ikki Tousen: Shining Dragon have parts of their clothes ripped off when they are hit. It’s not exactly Strip Fighter II: Turbo because scrapped bits of cloth cover all of the naughty bits. As you can probably guess the cast is entirely female and there are no plans for a North American release. Will half naked 3D characters sell a fighting game? Marvelous and Tecmo seem to think so!
If you’re one of the handful of people who read the manga or curious check out the trailer.

Being a Romance of the Three Kingdoms fan, I actually enjoyed this series. Too bad we’ll never see this game in North America. It’s also too bad they’re only using the female characters. I can understand that this is a fan-service game, but characters like Totaku and Ouin are what made the season of the anime so cool. =p

Whoa, what does this have to do with ROTK? Am I missing something?
Somehow, this game doesnt seem like a steller idea.

This anime is sort of like Tenjou Tenge except all of the characters names are based on those in Romance of the 3 Kingdoms, like Sousou (Cao Cao), Chouhi (Zhang Fei), etc, pretty much a blatant fanservice show disgracing 3 Kingdoms yet again.. now you have another fantasy show called Koutetsu Sangokushi too, at least its better than Ikki Tousen in theory w/o the naked chicks.

Anime based fighting games don’t make it in NA unless the show has been Americanized for kids to be played on Saturday morning.
