Nintendo DS game proposes to teach girls about sexuality

You always knew that having a "touch" screen would lead to this.



Apparently, the idea is to reward players for tickling, touching, tapping, and stroking a cartoon bunny correctly. If you do, it will become more and more excited until it starts flying.

I first heard about this through an IGN article. Rob managed to google up the article linked above which has more quotes from the designer. You can see her explanation of the game here and get the prototype demo here.

  • The game isn't actually being made. This was part of the Montreal Game Summit and the designers that took part in the challenge presented their ideas with a very humorous and light approach. Here's a link to the host's write up: http://www.igda.org/blogs/realitypanic/archives/000638.html
    Although, I'm wondering with all the hype it is getting if she might be get offers now to develop it.
    Chris was at the conference and is just shaking his head over all the hubbub now :)

  • Made or not, I think that it's pretty commendable that someone decided to approach sexuality in a game in a non titulating manner. Hot coffee, it ain't.

    Which company does your husband work for, Jess? Ubisoft?

  • I agree with the concept. I think it would do a world of good for girls and boys everywhere :)
    Yeah, Chris works for Ubisoft.
