Ninety-Nine Nights IIhas been confirmed for North America thanks to the ESRB and yet another classic videogame rating. As always, it’s the American rating board’s obsession with pointing out anything vaguely sexual that leads to comedic gold. Let’s check it out.
Players enter a world of darkness, a world in which war has been waged for close to 99 days, and it is players’ goal to get rid of the darkness. In this fantasy-action game, players control five warriors who use their weapons and magic to battle the armies of darkness and kill the Lord of Darkness.
Gameplay mainly involves hack-and-slash combat in which players use swords, clubs, and magic to kill hordes of enemy soldiers at a frenetic pace. Some attacks cause enemies to fly and flail in the air; other attacks lead to jets of blood and torsos strewn on the battlefield. And darkness does not obscure the blood srpay that sometimes shoots out of enemy soldiers during cutscenes (a major factor for the Mature rating): In one sequence, an armor-clad warrior impales several enemy knights (of darkness), withdrawing his sword in slow-motion amidst trailing spurts of red blood.
Consumers may also wish to know that a female demon-like creature with sprouting tentacles does appear topless (i.e., its nipples are clearly visible).
If there’s one thing the original game lacked, it was a female demon-like creature with sprouting tentacles and clearly visible nipples. They’re damnrightthat consumers will want to know that! No idea on when the game will hit North America yet, but once again, the ESRB has made it sound very good indeed, and not just because of the topless tentacle nipples.
