I wonder if Namco will make its own beach volleyball game on the PS3 with its own characters. It's not like they have a lack of hot female characters to draw from; Nina from Tekken, Ivy from Soul Calibur, and T-elos from Xenosaga would all be great in such a game.
Lots of the Dead or Alive girls scream "ho-bag" too, but that didn't stop Team Ninja from including them in both of their beach volleyball games.
How about Cassandra and Sophitia from the Soul Calibur series then? Frankly, the men should be included as well--the male swimsuits for Xenosaga III proved that the artists over there know how to design swimsuits for both genders.
By the way, didn't Ninja Gaiden Black prove that Team Ninja is quite capable of making a great game that doesn't rely on T&A? If so, why didn't they make more titles in that vein, instead of cementing their reputation as the fanservice guys of the gaming industry?
