New Hentai Game ... Aimed at 12 Year Olds?

July 23, 2008 in News comments 24

Last week a new hentai game entitled Tears to Tiara was released on PS3 in Japan. That's nothing unusual, right? Well here's the interesting part: It was given a 12+ rating.

Ah Japan, you must have the most lax game rating system in the world.

Last week while we were caught up in the E3 circus, we missed the launch of PS3 title Tears to Tiara. Bummer! The game went on sale July 17th, and the "Adventure + simulation" fantasy sword-swinging RPG features 2D cutscenes. A bevy of screenies are popping up online showing just how suggestive the game is — tentacle touching included! Other MAXIMUM RISKY scenes include cow milking and bound girls and girls in mid-riffs. Here's the kicker: This Japanese game is rated CERO B, which is ages 12 and up, so start 'em young. Check out the gallery below.

    Looks like they're adopting the weed dealer's code: "Get 'em hooked early, there's nothing like a steady customer."

    Ecchi maybe, but not hentai.

      Yeah, ecchi games get released on consoles all the time, but not hentai. As expected, that would be a PC dominated field.

    Well kids can either be aggressively competitive, immersed in violent imagery and replay, or quietly viewing softcore pr0nz. In reality, there's worse stuff out there than scanitily clad women. It only gets more entertaining.

    Wow . . . well I guess America isn't the worst at getting softcore into the hands of the young. That's terribly sad to hear the news of the game's rating.

    They probably have no choice but to make this game available to 12 year olds because only 12 year olds would find this kind of sick shit appealing.

    @Turmoil: Alot of people like hentai that are older than 12.

    Me for one would like to get this game. It would go with all my other A rated games.

    Dude, there's like NO censorship in Japan. It's pretty much the same for every other country in the world other than AMERICA.

      I *bleep*ing wish.

      UK, Australia, most European countries all have alot of censorship.

      Actually there is. They just censor different things. I found CSI on late night TV in Taiwan and the corpse on the medical examiner's table was pixelated. XD Pedophilic implications are okay, but not dead bodies damnit!!

      Seriously, Japan's apparent love for pedo-love (wait, she only LOOKS 14 - she's really 19!) is kinda creepy.

      PS: This is why I never want to live in Japan, being a young Asian woman. No touchy, please.

    Hentai Games are for everyone loser enough to turn to the internet for hot sex, such as myself. :/

    By no means. It gets turned into that when it comes stateside. Fanboys are a creepy bunch, they are, they'll spend hours creating fanfics, shipping pairs, and hentai, but won't go out and socialize with other people.

    Sounds cool. I support anything that goes against ageism.
