Despite its infamy, publisher Koei Tecmo is firmly against people making nude mods, especially if footage of said mods ends up on a DVD.Īs reported by Japanese publication Famitsu and translated by Siliconera, the offending DVD, which was sold on an auction site, contained recordings from several titles, including Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation.

The original statement is in Japanese, but Siliconera said that despite the modifications to the footage, the publisher considers it a case of copyright infringement, and aims to file both criminal and civil charges as a result. (In case there was any doubt, by the way, it took about 24 hours for the nude mods to appear.)įast-forward a half decade, and it seems that little has changed: Publisher Koei Tecmo announced today that it is bringing legal action against the seller of a DVD that contains nude-modded footage from games including Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation. He didn't specifically cite nude mods, but the implication was clear.
In 2015, just ahead of the release of Dead or Alive 5: Last Round-the first DOA game to come to PC-game director Yohei Shimbori asked PC gamers to "play our game in good moral and manner," and warned that the studio wouldn't release more games in the series on PC in the future if things got out of hand. Despite the obvious appeal to sexuality, developer Team Ninja has been outspoken in the past about fans going too far with that sort of thing.
