Kamehame-awww: Atari recalls Dragon Ball Origins in Australia

by JC Fletcher { Jan 29th 2009 at 12:00PM }

If you're in Australia and you've been holding off on picking up a copy of the delightful Dragon Ball Origins, your wait has just been artificially extended: Atari has issued a recall in Australia for every copy of Dragon Ball Origins on store shelves, due to an apparent mis-rating. Origins has been out in the region since December.

The cause seems to be a lazy OFLC: Dragon Ball Origins was given the same PG rating as other recent Dragon Ball games, but Origins features, well, multiple pants-free scenes. The first such scene occurs within the first hour of gameplay!

Atari will reissue the game once it's been re-rated and labeled accordingly. If you've already got it, congratulations! Instant collector's item.

hate to drag Kotaku in to Joystiq but I just gotta due this:

"including a pants-down scene that's one layer of cloth away from giving you an eye-full of Goku wang."

"I had Goku Wang once. Penicillin cleared it right up"

lulz ensued

Yeah, I skimmed the manga for this game, it's pretty dirty. Like I counted four nude scenes.

It's not sexual in any way, though.

I remember Yancha squeezing Bulma's boobs because he though they were dragon balls.

That's the way the cartoon is. Some light nudity here and there. They make such a fuss over there.

Wiinterfang @ Jan 30th 2009 10:32AM

In the cartoon too, you could be bulma's boobs and other girls pretty often ( and she was like 13 or 16) and Goku's wang was show frequently too.

Are you kidding me?

Are... you kidding me?

Seriously?

As far as i can tell this is a recreation of the first few chapters of the story.

The very first episode of the dragonball cartoon features nudity on the part of both Gohan and Bulma... so its hardly a surprise.

Still, I'd say it was PG nudity to be honest... its not sexual in any way.
