This interview (translated from Famitsu magazine) gives some details on how they designed and built the game. Here's a sample:

Q: DOA is pretty well known for the way everyone's breasts bounce (laughs), but they don't seem to bounce as much in this game. Was this done on purpose?

I: Right near the end of development we had a discussion on what to do with the bouncing, and that's when we decided to reduce the bounce to the level you see now. We actually decided on that ten days before the game was due at the duplicators. (laughs)

Q: You worried about it that much? Would making them bounce more be hard to implement in a hurry?

I: That's right. Changing the bounciness is no problem when it comes to character models, but we would've had to check all the swimsuit animations over again. Also, we decided between ourselves to set it so that any women seeing the game would find it amusing but still wouldn't be offended, so we figured that was about the right level to achieve that. A lot of the women who played the beta game thought it was cute, and a lot thought it was a little dirty. Of course, I figure men probably have simpler tastes about these things. (laughs)

Q: What else did women have to say about the game?

I: Well, just within our company, a lot of the people who thought up the swimsuit designs were actually women. Most of the really extreme designs were done by women. (laughs) Women have a lot more knowledge and sense about these things than men, after all. I realized this during development, but this game's audience isn't necessarily just men—women can play this game and enjoy it, too, or at least the women around me can. (laughs)

The orignal was from Janet Jackson "Rhythm Nation 1814" album
(track 20 if you're interested!!), but the first time I heard it was at a underground rave, the sample was used by fat controller (uphoria records '94, a-side) ... great tune, very uplifting.

Damn, you beat me to the punch! I would have filled in that little tidbit of info, had you let it go a little longer. Great quote, though!
