It would be funny if somebody got one of these for their dog

Moosh said on December 17, 2012 at 3:56 p.m.

Is Eventhubs being paid for this post?

Regardless, this is a flawless DoA player stereotype.

Mr_Pyro said on December 17, 2012 at 3:58 p.m.

Why...

SuperStraightFighter said on December 17, 2012 at 4:02 p.m.

The game really doesn't take itself seriously, so why would we? If you like the game play just play for what it is, I avoided this title since after DOA 2 on the PS2...

kabukisama said on December 17, 2012 at 4:03 p.m.

In all fairness, just about everything gets those body pillows in Japan. My example:

lol awesome XD

dorayaki said on December 17, 2012 at 4:09 p.m.

have to admit its a little creepy but you bungholes act like you're homos or something - not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean, what do you want? A MAN body pillow? geez- grow up. It's marketing.

cered said on December 17, 2012 at 4:09 p.m.

Great business concept, at least (for maxing out the bottom line). I'd like to know the margins... get it? Sorry

Err... thanks Tecmo...DOA 5 is great and all but I'll stick to the battlefield.

Would be awkward as hell to go in someones room and find one of these...

HooliganComboFTW said on December 17, 2012 at 4:16 p.m.

Its Japan LMAO having a body pillow of something is pretty common like panties in vending machines,. They also do Mouse pads lol

is there a daigo pillow? would buy

#21

SuperStraightFighter said on December 17, 2012 at 4:38 p.m.

The DOA demographic consists of male adults, don't you think it's a little weird for a male adult to have one of these while sleeping with their girl friend lol? That is just creepy to me, it doesn't make you 'gay' if you find body pillows creepy does it? I know a male pillow would be worse for a male but a female pillow doesn't help it either does it?

#22

OhYouDontSayThat said on December 17, 2012 at 4:42 p.m.

this.... is becoming weird.

#23

SuperStraightFighter said on December 17, 2012 at 4:44 p.m.

I meant male pillows for a straight male would be bad, nothing against gay people.

#24

OhYouDontSayThat said on December 17, 2012 at 4:48 p.m.

i'm so glad i saw this post! i didnt know what to get my gamer friends but now i know, male pillows for all!!!

#25

SuperStraightFighter said on December 17, 2012 at 4:51 p.m.

I suggest you photoshop your own picture onto the pillow for maximum result.

LK said on December 17, 2012 at 5:37 p.m.

It's a pillow with pictures of virtual women on it. It's made of cottons and chemical dyes, nothing more and nothing less.

If there's a Daigo life replica action figurine, I'll bring it everywhere, it'll parry everything for me.

For example, Daigo action figure parries annoying people, utility bill, that dangerous looking dog, crazy neighbors, etc. It'll be the most wonderful thing ever,

#40

rakuko said on December 17, 2012 at 5:49 p.m.

some of these comments don't make too much sense. it's like you think Tecmo designed them, and that they only exist as DoA characters. there are full body pillows for a variety of characters, including Street Fighter characters too.

that said, I wouldn't be caught dead with one-a these. too embarassing >.<

It's not "I saw it on the internet", it actually IS "common" in Japan.
Been to Japan so thanks.

TaoTuna said on December 17, 2012 at 6:04 p.m.

Entire process:
Opened eventhubs

Saw the title "Cuddle with your favorite"
Me: "oh no"

"Dead or Alive 5"
Me: "oh s$*t"

Scrolled down to see 40 comments
Me: "here we go"

Opened the link, read most of the comments.
Me: "well, it could have been much worse"

Not gonna lie, i love the game DOA, but this whole pillow thing is pretty sad, while not surprising. But, who am i to hate. Some people prefer porn, others prefer pillows.

#46

GTVladozuka said on December 17, 2012 at 6:09 p.m.

WHY U NO MAKE ONAHOLES? ... seriously, only that is missing now :-/

#47

Snipeclips said on December 17, 2012 at 6:09 p.m.

They made a whole bunch of other pillow cases besides DOA5. There's even male ones for the people who hate the game XP.

#48

AugustAPC said on December 17, 2012 at 6:18 p.m.

AHAHAHAH

This sh*t is hilarious!

I don't get why they wouldn't just make them nude. I mean... I doubt a single customer that would actually buy these would prefer them to be clothed.

No Bass, no. And I don't want Brad pissing in my bed either. -_-

theshredder39 said on December 17, 2012 at 7:39 p.m.

Whatever happened to what Team Ninja said about not wanting to over sexify the game? they're not really going with their word there, it's no wonder why Nintendo didn't let them put Samus as a playable character in Dimentions.

#55

Gpop said on December 17, 2012 at 7:54 p.m.

You guys act like as if this only exist for the DOA series.

You should see the Street Fighter ones then

#56

HooliganComboFTW said on December 17, 2012 at 7:54 p.m.

#55

Samus in DoA would be interesting(I mean they got a Halo character in before) although she would look more or less like Sarah though

#57

TheLaw said on December 17, 2012 at 7:54 p.m.

@28 the fact that your like everyone else who criticizes the game on bulls/hit... Or the fact that you didn't know body pillows are popular in Japan?

Body pillows are actually really comfortable

I know body pillows are very comfortable.
And shame on japanese for pasting in anime characters.

I love how people can't get through their heads that japan has these for almost EVERYTHING.Look up a character for something im sure you will find them as a body pillow, it isnt common in america but out there it is but eh w/e. I blame eventhubs more for just posting sh*t for the trolls cause tbh street fighter has plenty more items like these and you never see them posted here.

#66

massi4h said on December 17, 2012 at 11:13 p.m.

If you guys want the term to look up, they're called Dakimakuras. Pretty much any well known female anime character will have one.

This really has nothing to do with DOA and "selling sex" it's just a natural thing in the Japanese Otakus. Onaholes on the other hand...

#67

ya_boy said on December 17, 2012 at 11:14 p.m.

Japan is freaking cesspool. This game already has no credibility, this does not help it.

Once again SFlip shows how much he hates Dead or Alive series by posting this crap. Full body pillows have been in Japan for decades and every anime characters has been one.

Hey SFlip why don't you post some Street Fighter body pillows for everybody to see?

lol this article is just baiting the ignorant flamers to come out of their caves. Body pillows is NOT a Doa thing its a Japan thing for nearly every female anime/videogame character XD They have plenty of SF female Body pillows out there easily if you do a quick google search

Also, these and those wonderful "ergonomic" mousepads are manufactured and advertised as Tecmo products; others have no relation to any major company outside of character likeness and are not officially endorsed. Key difference that you all happened to neglect.

Keep trying, kids.

Hayabusa_San said on December 18, 2012 at 8:24 a.m.

Oh Japan, you are so you!

Well, this is definitely not my type of thing, but i guess people will buy them if they considered fabricating the pillows. In Japan, fans will buy anything they put on the market.

Personally i have never been that kind of fan. Sure, i enjoy DOA games to consider myself a fan of the series, but i can't simply waste money on figurines or any other thing related to the series.

But that's just me (so don't feel bad if that's your thing).

RedRapperSux said on December 18, 2012 at 10:13 a.m.

Every once in awhile there is a RIDICULOUS deal on a fighting game. So of course I take it upon myself to send it in so people in the FGC get a chance at said deal... But, never gets posted. Instead, we get stuff like this. GG!
