Our selection for the top slot may seem a tad surprising after you watch the video below. The nudity contained within is anything BUT unnoticeable. In fact, it might be the most glaringly obvious nudity in the history of gaming culture. You'd have to be literally blind not to see it... although we're pretty sure even the sight-deprived would have a good idea what's going on in this clip.
So why'd we pick it? Easy. For over a decade, you weren't allowed to notice this particular nudity. The original VHS versions that made their way to American shores back in 1995 suffered from heavy editing. Cursing, violence and - of course - the Chun-Li shower scene were all toned down to acceptable PG-13 levels. An unrated edition existed, but that wasn't the real deal either. Only in 2006, with the release of an "uncut and uncensored" disc, were we ALL considered mature enough to handle the whole affair.
Hooray! Guess we're all grown up. Though, considering we just wrote seven pages about pixelated nudity and YOU just read those seven pages...
maybe not.
Street Fighter Alpha 2 (1996)GamesRadar's offices have been torn asunder by civil rife and petty division - all over the mysterious photo below. Half our editors see a naked and crotchless Ryu, pathetically reduced to an arcade Ken doll. The other half insist Ryu's dignity remains intact, that he is merely donning a fashionable white Speedo to match his equally fashionable white headband. It's like a Rorschach test for idiots!
