Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja's Boxart Reverses
Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns featured some fairly risque alternate boxart in Japan, where initial shipments were packaged in H-game-like boxes with art of Izuna and Shino bathing in an onsen. The American box for the game may not be modeled after erogames, but it does feature some extra pinup-style art of the title character.In an absolutely lovely trend, the Izuna 2 boxart has been revealed as reversible, like the boxart for Victorious Boxers Revolution. However, instead of alternate boxart on the other side, the reverse of Izuna 2's cover is a mini-poster of the title character. Nice to see Atlus treating a niche game like Izuna as such a deluxe product.

Right. Because no straight women could possibly be interested in this game.

Bleh. Izuna is one kick-ass ninja. Why did they have to go all stripperific with the box art? Stupid designers.
As for women getting together in games, I don't mind that at all. Far too many game characters get forced into straight relationships. Of course, the lesbian content is usually only superficial (i.e. fanservice for straight men), which is rather sad.
