Its the exact same game except an added dungeon and new costumes that got a PG rating. It already came out in Japan so we know the exact content of the game, and its no worse than the original game other than a few bikini outfits (and there was already a bikini scene in the original game).
Like I said before, the original game got a PG, and it had this scene: https://yande.re/sample/bd5341d02f3aa0fb2e72ef4600f6c940/yande.re%20156921%20sample.jpg Thats the closest to "Sexual violence" the game gets, and it didn't affect the original games rating.
Not really. Its just a cute game that many reviewers in the West actually thought was a kids game since they didn't know that its main demographic are otaku. It just comes down to Australia being prudes over this stuff like they normally are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=uZELXgvur0s#t=14s It would be like any moe anime with the extent of its fanservice being panty shots labeled as porn.

It's not the screenshots themselves, its how the whole event plays out. spoiler[The girls are tricked into being beach babes for a little show. They're asked to help out with an event for Peter, but he neglects to tell them that they'll be strutting out on stage in swimsuits for the audience's pleasure. They are really, really not happy about it and specifically talk about how humiliating and mortifying it is to be treated like cattle (or something, don't remember the exact metaphor used). The game then has you actively participate in their humiliation by pressing a button to cheer when each one comes up. At least the girl I chose to cheer "loudest" reiterated how horrible the whole experience was after she "won". I assume at least some of the others do the same.] If the intent was to make the player feel uncomfortable, I'd think it was kind of genius, but I really doubt it. |

By the way, Totori Plus has just been released on the US PSN. That's right, with absolutely not word from Tecmo-Koei that its being released at all. Free swimsuit DLC until April 16th.

And its dual audio. At least they kept the dual audio, but you must wonder what the hell is up with their marketing if a game that hasn't even officially been announced randomly pops up on PSN. |

Oh good, nice to see. Also, more relevant to the original topic, apparently the ESRB did not think that added bikini DLC was enough to bump the rating to an M or AO. It's Teen just like the original release.

Disgusting how TK is handling this release. Zero marketing, which I should have expected since TK America is non-existent. I guess this is the future of Gust games.
