The ESRB recently had to pull their summary of Dead or Alive: Paradise, as it subjectively described the game as having "creepy voyeurism" and a "bizarre, misguided notion of what women really want". It also flatly stated that "Paradise cannot mean straddling felled tree trunks in dental-floss thongs."

But Tecmo weren't too upset with the description of their game. In fact, they thanked the ESRB for it, then released a brand new batch of screenshots fit for gamers' "creepy voyeuristic" pleasure.

It's not often that the ESRB describes a video game with such vigor as the ratings board did with Tecmo's Dead or Alive: Paradise. It's equally rare for a publisher to thank the ESRB for calling its game "creepy."

But that's how Tecmo Koei America is promoting the mini-game-filled, jiggle-packed Dead or Alive spin-off. "Thank you ESRB for labeling the game 'cheesy,' 'creepy' and 'bizarre'" reads a new press release sent our way. Sure it highlights the marketable points, that Dead or Alive: Paradise lets players "mingle, flirt, play, take snapshots and challenge them in mini-games found throughout the island."
And there's a Valentine's Day card, of sorts, that asks you to "get your heart on."
