Doki Doki Majo Shinpan Duo forgoes nipples
Since Doki Doki Majo Shinpan Duo is risqué in its essence, we're not surprised that the boxart would also be rather ... bold. The blue bar that wraps its way around the cover lets perusers of the box see through the girls' clothes, hence the assaulted looks on their faces.
The girl on the left used quick reflexes to cover herself up, while the girl on the right only had a sliver of indecency exposed. The girl in the middle, though? Not so lucky -- not even because her breasts were displayed for gaming consumers to see, but because she has no nipples. Maybe she's related to the guys in Duel Love? Or, maybe that's how you go about proving she's a witch.
In all seriousness, we don't expect SNK to put nipples on the front of the box. Maybe they should have gone with a different design, though, so that the girls wouldn't look like ... well, freaks. Still, we know most guys aren't too picky when it comes to this kind of thing, and will enjoy the opportunity to stylus-poke the ladies of the game nonetheless. Oh, and the little pointing hand in the bottom right says "touch," lest your forget your task.

Having no nipples on bare breasts is not at all unusual in anime and manga targeted to a teenage audience. Ken Akamatsu, the manga artist behind "Love Hina" and "Negima", two the most popular manga properties in America, frequently has nudity like this comics without any nipples.
Nipples are usually not included until you get to manga targeted to the 18+ audience. And no matter how dirty we think this game is by American standards, it's completely intended for teenagers.

If, only it was out in Europe or the US. I guess learning Japanese for my senior project might help after all.

They look like well-endowed 12 year olds. I'll never understand Japanese tastes, and I'm okay with that.
