WTF? This ad is horrible, sexist and degrading. And I am a male. We are more than just boobs-chasing animals. Is that what the world has come to? That's just offensive and wrong. Hate this ad. First Guitar Hero playboy ads, and now this. Stop it already. Don't offend my intelligence. Give me an engaging storyline and fun gameplay. Final Fantasy wasn't epic because of Tifa's tits. Baldur's Gate is not considered one of the awesomer RPG because of Boo's hamster-cheeks. It's the story and gameplay.

Archon… Man… Chill out!… This ad was funny as hell! Team Ninja sure has a sense of humor!

It's not that Western civilization is coming to an end. It's just that the advertisers have run dry of ideas with which to sell us things (or at least Team Ninja's advertisers).
It might help more if the game has semblance of a sensical plot...

Besides, the target demographic isn't buying this game for the boobs, but for the ninja-fighting action.
The boobs are just extra fan service, fan service is not a bad thing.

It's a shame you don't like breasts. I know I do.
I also know this game will be sweet even if it doesn't have titillating motion controls.

It's funny how this guy says " sexist and degrading.", and then uses the word "tits" in a derogative way. This is a Japanese commercial, they tend to use sexual references all the time. In fact when I visited Japan they had PORN everywhere, vending machines, gas stations, restaurants and a lot more otherwise "public" places. My eyes were bleeding when I saw a "real" episode of DBZ, well maybe a little excited too. You are probably in America where sexual things are less "out there", not a bad thing, you just have to remember that it's a different culture when you see videos like so.
On topic, I love the tags lol " Tags: ad, boobs, breasts, commercial, japan,".

The guy in the right is greyed out faster than white paint mixed with black, and most of the other comments are targeted at him. Last time I ever read comments on here.

Japan is a different country than ours.
What is acceptable over there is INCREDIBLY different.

Weird, I just literally showed it to my girlfriend. She laughed, shook her head and went about her daily business. Maybe you should too.

Hah, I laughed at the 25sec part...
Well, didn't MGS4 also do boob bouncing with the Sixaxis? Though, it wasn't as Ninja Gaiden is going to do...

If they hadn't showed the controller, we'd be left wondering if what they were doing was playing or jerking off xD

There's nothing wrong with nice tits. Perhaps you'd enjoy it more if they were man boobs Archon?

Uh Archon, you do realize that this is a japanese ad, dont you? The culture is a little different over there, obviously! You can buy little girls panties in vending machines over! This ad would never fly in the States, thank god for the internet though. And yeah, that old guy in therobe was VERY creepy!!!

I find it endlessly funny how you can kill people in video games.. slaughter them, chop them up, burn them etc etc and it's A ok but show some boobies and some people will have the biggest whiny fits and complain how it's "offensive".
Anyway, that was a good ad and I approve. ( . Y . )

Hmm, odd.. they're female ninjas looking hot as hell while kicking ass in a video game. I find this perfectly fine. Care to explain why women can't look this amazing and not be ninjas and kick ass? Yeah.

Oh yes guys, that is very mature of you. Pretend I am homosexual because I find rubbing tits in my face everywhere I go offensive and a sign of how much our culture degraded. You all just proved my point in this comments.
Just pretend you are adults for a second and read some of the comments above:
"bewbies (.)(.)"
"Perhaps you'd enjoy it more if they were man boobs"
"Got Hard?"
Yeah.
I'd rather have the product advertised and not prostituted to me.
I can understand the downvotes though. It's probably hard facing the truth when you are a frustrated 40 year old nerd virgin. And appartently I am the only person not having this problem here.

its ok to think your all alone cause well you are atm.
the ad shows that instead of just killing guys, sneaking around and doing what a ninjas does best you can also just chill out and watch boobs bounce with ur controller. they arent saying the ENTIRE GAME is about boobs just some fan service for those who want it
so basically just chill its an ad not your life. also on that note do you HONESTLY think that ads for other products dont do the same thing for females as well?

you forgot to add Val's rendering of a pair of tits which was actually way better than mine....his has cleavage and all...mine look like deflated balloons...oh and for the record, I'm not a virgin but I'm married....both mean no sex but I just wanted to clarify that.

Did you forget that its a Japanese commercial ? They have Porn stands everywhere, they don't think like Americans do. They have their own culture, so stfu and respect the boobies! Technically we're not supposed to see this, but since we are can you be a grown up and accept other peoples beliefs ? They're just boobs ( a great pair I might add) but if you're ever in Japan and happen to see a real DBZ or anime cartoons, you'd know how they are.
