An animation of some sort for the the manga and PSP game .Hack//Link is currently in production.

This is not a first for video games to be banned in a country. I remember back when Mass Effect was about to be released, Singapore decided to ban the game because it is possible to make a woman and a female alien to have sex if you chose to play as a female character in the game.
