We know we’re supposed to be morally outraged at the incredibly sexist idea of a game in which bikini-clad ladies hack away at swarms of zombies. We get that. But you know what? Most of us here really LIKE girls in bikinis (and schoolgirl outfits). And we love zombies. So, you put those two together and add in some samurai swords, and we’re there, outraged or not.
Which brings us to Onechanbara, coming soon to Wii and 360 (with two different names, no less). We’ve known two of the game’s playable vixens for some time: the bikini-clad cowgirl Aya and her naughty schoolgirl sister Saki. Now we can reveal three more characters in all their playmate-like glory. This info all comes straight from the game’s Japanese developer, so it might not all make total sense until we get our hands on the game. Just trust that you’ll understand it eventually… or not.

Oh, that's why the Stellar Blade devs were terrified by demo players: one fan's spent "about 60 hours" maxing Eve's skill tree before the action RPG is even out
A new Taylor Swift song mentions GTA, but some remember it mentioning Baldur's Gate 3, Final Fantasy 14, and more in hilarious Twitter trend
