"According to stories spotted on DegenkiOnline and UK Resistance, the well known King of Fighter publisher SNK will be releasing DOKIDOKI MAJOSAIBAN or Exciting Witch Trial on the Wii and DS. The object of these games is to strip and grope young women in order to detect which ones are witches or human.

"Yes, we know games similar to this are a dime a dozen in Japan and the cultural differences, but (a) This is the first time, to my knowledge, that see one from a major publisher like SNK. This is SNK! The people that went head to head with Capcom! This is not some obscure hentai game sold in some specialty markets. This is a mainstream game that will be available for import easily. (b) This is also the first time a game like this appears on the Wii, and the first perverse usage of the Wiimote as a sexual tool in a mainstream game. The significance should not go unnoticed."

First show this Saturday!

This Saturday October 7th at 8:30pm, we're premiering Acid Test.

The cameras will be ready, the control room will be uncomfortably warm, the studio will be cool, the mics will be listening, and the seats will be filled! We have two stellar teams and a fantastic host. I'm making the open titles and the lower thirds today and tomorrow, and what I've got looks pretty nice.

Baron Vaughn will be hosting. Baron is exploding onto the standup and commercial scene. Check out his site and his blog. Good stuff. We're honored to have him.
