Acclaim to Edit Nudity From Game

Acclaim Entertainment Inc. said its controversial video game “BMX XXX” would not contain topless nudity in the version to be released for Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 2 console this month.

Some of the nation’s leading retailers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Toys R Us Inc., have said they would not carry the game because of subject matter that also includes strippers, pimps and coarse language.

Versions of the game for Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox and Nintendo Co.’s GameCube will not be edited, Acclaim said.

Shares of Glen Cove, N.Y.-based Acclaim rose 6 cents to $1.30 on Nasdaq.
