I'm glad Nintendo changed their minds after the WiiU era in terms of censorship
will it drive more third party devs to the Switch knowing Nintendo won't censor their games?
I'm glad Nintendo changed their minds after the WiiU era in terms of censorship
will it drive more third party devs to the Switch knowing Nintendo won't censor their games?
Compile Heart/Idea Factory for instance have started publishing their games uncensored on Switch (with some being exclusive like the rerelease of Moero Chronicle and the western release of Mary Skelter 2), so yeah.
Companies act different when they're the undisputed leader, right now that's Sony. Nintendo has a history of censoring shit when they were on top.
It already has.
Nope. Noone even buys those fanservice games now days, you can check this up yourself and see the sale numbers for all those pedo fanservice heavy games have dropped hard. The games you think might start moving to switch wont, because they dont exist anymore.
that's certainly ironic coming from nintendo
>censorship inhibits diversity
and sony claims to be an advocate of "diversity"
sony prefers "selective diversity" LMFAO
sony = forced diversity
nintendo = organic diversity
Have they censored any recent first party games? It was quite awful during WiiU era and the weebshit got the worst from it.
>parental controls
seriously, why does the "think of the children" argument still exist when parental controls exist? This isn't the shitass 4 button combo that they had for consoles in the early 2000, it's mobile-linked shit too.
None since the Switch came out.
that's the reason why I'm getting a Switch, after they announced the new versions, any day now right?
They're prettying up their reasoning, but we all know that the biggest factor is that unnecessary censorship has never worked out well for them in the past. It's what allowed Sega to get a leg up over them with the Genesis in the west. Even after Sega bit the dust as a first party console manufacturer, excessive censorship has never done Nintendo any factors. After several decades in the industry, they probably finally got it through their thick skulls that leaving that shit up to the ESRB and CERO is for the best.
Not lately. I think they're trying to distance themselves from some of their more harmful practices from back then. Being too draconian always comes back to bite you in the ass.
Ultimately, it all just boils down to not sabotaging yourself and leaving fewer openings in your defenses. Sony's increasingly draconian policies are making them pretty unpopular among Japanese devs too nowadays. Nintendo knows firsthand how badly it can hurt you if you push away devs that way. They've done it so many times that if they haven't learned their lessons by now, they'd have to collectively be legally retarded.
>sony = forced diversity
Except when it comes to the depiction of any female characters. Sony prohibits all sexy female characters, so there's no diversity there.
>putting the weight of protecting the kids on the parents
fuck off, parents already have limited time for themselves without having to control every second of their kids' lives
Sony only likes diversity of skin color and gender aka no bikinis. Nintendo likes diversity of expression overall
I think it really is mostly thanks to the advancements in parental controls. They won't lose their kid-friendly appeal now that they have a way to actually let parents fully control their kids' experience so they don't feel the need to over-regulate the content that gets released on Switch. That, and they finally cracked down on regional censorship that would only happen in the west thanks to shifting to a simultaneous worldwide release schedule for all their games.
>Nintendo likes diversity of expression overall
Hopefully they finally port the other SK games to the Switch.
so did everyone call sony and write emails like they did with nintendo because i think thats what made nintendo change
based retard
if you can't handle the work don't get kids
That's up to Marvelous to stop being retarded.
Most of Nintendo's Wii U era censorship came from Treehouse going mad with power and "localising" games as they saw fit, so it's not too suprising how quickly things turned around after that got sorted.
B-But everyone kept telling me to "Have sex"!
It's not like Treehouse stopped.
Hi, we're not supposed to be obligated to "support" non-customers.
i doubt publisher retardation has anything to do with it. i mean if you think about it they'd make more money from the game being available on switch so why isn't it? my hunch is it's some sort of exclusivity agreement with sony.
Japanese devs also mostly avoided putting lewd games on Nintendo systems, although that must've mostly been due to Nintendo's reputation rather than any real stance against it, since some stuff like Senran Kagura did release no problem.
Didn't that get edited in the Japanese version as well? It's also the only instance ever in FEH.
Exactly
Underage lesbian kissing in a AAA game => good
Cleavage showing up on a cover => censored.
Well the only difference between languages are the language packs, they use the same version so yes. It was a real shame since they never fixed it.
Sony has been doing the right thing recently keeping this trash off of the PS4. Its sad that Nintendo is abandoning its family friendly image that it has cultivated over the years.
>WiiU
You know what Bayonetta 2 is ?
why do you call it trash
Then it's entirely possible it was mandated by CERO, ESRB or whatever rather than Treehouse. CERO in particular is notoriously inconsistent so I wouldn't be surprised. Lewder alts than that have been released since and were left untouched.
Parental controls don't work if you're fine with little Bobby playing murder simulators but flip your shit if he sees a titty.
is this you?
It's insensitive to women and faggots
how is an anime girl in underwear insensitive to women and faggots
Kek, you reminded me that Sony banning Japanese games was "justified" as them wanting to protect the development of children. So looking at an anime titty is considered harmful to their development while murdering hundreds of people is perfectly fine since Sony doesn't regulate violence.
Yeah that's definitely possible, but I don't think anyone trusts Treehouse anyways. It's not like their translations are mostly accurate anyways even for something as basic as FEH.
>Parental controls and good parenting replace censorship
But this means you put the responsibilities on the PARENTS. How could a company be so evil?
Lazy parents leaving the parenting to a tablet / Playstation / xbox / nintendo
Well it honestly depends on what you censor.
If you want to pare back excessive gore and use DOOM as sort of gore Day Care, then that's fine.
Additionally, if you can remove lolis from Video Games entirely, that's also a bonus.
But needlessly censoring the beautiful adult female form is tragic, and should be avoided.
It arouses jealousy and envy that some 2D pixels are more attractive to some men than said women and faggots.
Because it makes some people hard and women and faggots only want them to make 'em hard
Yes, but liberal translations aren't what Nintendo is talking about in regards to being against censorship. That's just a style of localization.
They can restrict access to individual titles with good parental controls though
this is true though, my uncle just leaves my nephew to play f2p mobile games all day
True, though in some cases I'd argue it's no different than censorship.
Really? but the treehouse has some nice girls that can make me hard
That shirt's completely ineffective. Her eyes are so piercing that you're instantly drawn to them. Blue eyes are scary, man.
Hopefully that level of retardation was left behind alongside the other practices that befell Fates. They seem to have kept all character names untouched in Three Houses, for starters.
>year 2019 of the Lord and savior Jesus Christ
>massive censorship campaigns
Have I traveled back in time? Can I please get in a timeline that isn't so keen on destroying fun and creativity?
Smash Ultimate saw censorship. Mythra’s outfit.
They censored some religious shit from XC2 but people choose to ignore it because they left in tits.
They did some self-censorship like nerfing asses in Smash Ultimate to get a lowest possible age ratings, but it's global and applies in Japan too.
I know this game's years old at this point so it's an old topic to argue about but I thought two serious units just having a staredown to get rank c was a clever idea. All that missing dialogue gets folded over to their b rank convo anyway.
The user I replied to meant 'Nintendo' by 'they', and Smash was regulated entirely by CERO, as Sakurai has stated since Smash 4.
>because they left in tits.
Based and incel pilled
I'm certain that if modern SJWs had born 20-30 years earlier they would have been chuch moms panicking over bare midriffs in music videos and Satan worship in heavy metal.
This pretty much. Most people probably still think that Nintendo systems are the console for families and 'ecchi' games have no place on there.
That's because Nintendo of America is so neutered, thankfully
>adult fictional woman showing off their bodies by wearing stock standard bikini's is somehow child porn
better not go to the beach, it's full of woman doing child porn!
Did you think them changing Homura to Pyra was censorship as well?
Sony’s HQ is in Cali. Nintendo’s HQ has always been in Kyoto, they only had a minor infestation of SJWs they dealt with after their fans got upset and voiced their concerns. Sony is completely overrun with them, top to bottom. Too late to do anything. Let it collapse instead, and have it serve as a cautionary take for tech companies.
I'm almost certain they will shift things around when it comes to shipping, like turn tomboys into lesbians and such like they've done before.
'Clever' or not it's unprofessional on all levels. Imagine this kind of translation done for say Shakespeare for other languages. It simply wouldn't be tolerated.
japan censor all their 18+ content tho
Xenoblade 2's censorship was more around the intentional removal of sexual elements from certain conversations, but people like to just hide behind "it's not censorship, it's just a shit localisation!" as if that makes it any better.
That's not specific religious censorship, they just did the usual overlocalization by changing tons of names. Some of those names were the seven deadly sins and stuff like that in Japan, but they weren't linked to actual Christian religion, they were just cool-sounding names.
I had no idea CERO took such involvement in Smash.
Fuck NOA. Where is my uncensored Project Zero. Also filthy westerners should stop changing characters ages. The younger the better.
That's just some activist translator flexing their muscles, it's not because the higher-ups told them to do it like with sony
>"it's not censorship, it's just a shit localisation!"
Because it was. There are plenty of games with sexual references that go untouched.
If you say so.
>Change Seiryu to "Azurda", Suzaku to "Roc," and Byakko to "Dromarch"
>Leave Genbu unchanged for some reason
I really don't fucking understand how Nintendo's localization chucklefucks work.
You mean they censor it everytime there is a young looking character or involve young characters. Off yourself tranny.
Proving my point
Was good knowing you all.
>huge tits
>lolicon fantasy
How fucking delusional would you have to be not only believe that bullshit but also spout it off as truth?
That's completely normal, every game goes through ratings board, the company tells them which rating they're applying for and the board inspects the game and points out stuff they need to alter to make that rating. In case of Smash, it was turning upskirts into black voids between Brawl and 4 and some other things in order to get the B/E10 rating.
>company for kids and manchildren has a better view on censorship than mature cinematic Sony
How the fuck
Your point that you think it can't be censorship unless it's dictated from the top of the chain?
Is Nintendo, dare I say, based?
Only children obsess about maturity though, so it makes sense
I don’t understand the point of that when it’s blatantly obvious the dialogue is talking about religion and the creator god.
of course
It's Kotaku, think about it.
Implying I won't get in car and put my big cock inside her ass.
why the fuck did sony and nintendo switch places
its just to keep the game at CERO-B/ESRB-E, tb h
they can give absolutely no shit and allow XC2 to get a C rating too
its all about their target audiences
Activism stops being activism when it's compulsory
Nintendo is a business, it's not "for" anyone, they're doing things that make sense from a business standpoint. Telling third parties "yeah but you gotta butcher your game for us k :)" is a really dumb fucking idea because it makes everyone hate you, consumers, developers, and publishers alike.
The only thing Sony is leading is their pack of lemmings to the death of Playstation.
Sony moved to C*lifornia with predictable results and Nintendo is just doing business, and acquiring new consumers as they are not shackled by agenda and culture of cancellation like Americans are.
Smash should be allowed a T rating like Melee was.
The localisers just wanted it to be less on the nose. Same with them changing the titan names to be less obviously taken from the deadly sins (which was actually a really good change in my opinion). Unnecessary? Maybe, but it's not censorship.
I agree but the lower a rating is, the more people a game can theorethically be sold to. Smash has several character originating from M-rated games so they'd have to tone things down anyway.
they ran out of turtle related myth
ironic too, since you still have that turtle who carry the world myth in Hindu, and still fit the narative
tb h, NoE did a phenomenal job there, at least for a myths fanatic like me
>Roc is a great bird that guide traveler and mercs
>Dormarch is the great white Irish beast that serve the royalty
>Pyra and Mithra are primordial angels of fire and light
most of the name really relate to the characters and their myth
If Nintendo weren't such assholes to third party devs in the 90s we wouldn't even be in this situation. Fuck Nintendo and fuck Sony. Fuck Microshit & Google too.
Nobody forced Sony to go full SJW and shit on all the developers who fell into their lap after Nintendo drove them away.
"everyone" in this is case is a very, very minor percentage. Most consumers don't even know that there's games with censored content and most devs don't put that shit in their games.
>Nintendo is a business, it's not "for" anyone
>Nintendo doesn't have a brand or target audience
All businesses market "for" specific groups, retard. Try learning what advertising is.
>Hitler Says Killing Jews Is Bad
>most of the name really relate to the characters and their myth
Almost as much as the original names did.
Amerimutts ruin everything they touch.
>The localisers just wanted it to be less on the nose.
More like the localisers are hacks with no respect for the source material who think they're god's gift to writing and it's their role to change everything because they can do better.
That's kind of the point, when censorship becomes company policy, there's a different discussion at hand. When a particular person overreaches their authority, while employed to a company that does not have a policy in line with their actions, a call-out from the community (lol) is often enough for, at least, an aknowledgement from the company that it was in fact a mistake. When these things are policy, when the backing of the censorship is the entire company and it's employees, this is no longer sufficient. And with companies as big as sony/nintendo (in the past, at least) one can only wonder WHAT would be sufficient. Nintendo's case at least shows that given enough of a stink, and proven in the long term to affect sales on their entire platform since it is policy for every console released on it, they can eventually relent. Maybe even change their mind.
>parental controls and good parenting replace censorship
I really don't get why this isn't a more common sentiment. How have we gone 30 fucking years in this industry without holding parents accountable for what they buy their kids?
the OG names are too cliche for my taste, really. and no they dont fit, at all. the 4 divine beasts are just that, beast that served the royalties and represent the characteristic of kings
>suzaku is grace
>byakko is virtue
>genbu is longetivity
>koryu is divine-ness
You keep posting this thread and I keep telling you that 50% of the game, the porn, is removed in the switch version. If you don’t think that’s censorship, I don’t know what is.
Aw, you don't get it. Here sweetie, I'll break it down for you.
We're all talking about first-party censorship.
Games are required to be rated by the ESRB. Sometimes content has to be changed to receive an acceptable rating.
Nintendo themselves don't make any demands to developers about what is or isn't acceptable. Sony does.
>bro you don't understand the shit the localisers made up totally fits better than what the original writers decided on
No.
>a call-out from the community (lol) is often enough for, at least, an aknowledgement from the company that it was in fact a mistake.
When did this ever happen?
>Have a strong gaming PC and Switch now
>Barely use my PS Pro
>Only gave I've sunk time into lately on it is one that'll come to PC eventually (but couldn't wait to play)
>Once that series (Yakuza) gets simultaneous releases on PC, I'll lose another game to play
>As of now, I have very little interest in the PS5
Anyone else?
I suppose, because they weren’t fooling anyone with the name changes to places blatantly referred to as religious by even random NPCs.
And overlocalisation is an understatement, some of the changes were really pointless. Like why change Marbeni to Amalthus? Or Melef to Morag? Seems like a waste of effort.
I have a PC, Switch and PS4. I bought my PS4 in May 2018 and have around 50 hours total playtime on it. I have 7 games for it and only finished Nier:Automata and Steins;Gate. At this point, I'm waiting for it to be hackable on the firmware I'm on right now (5.55). Maybe then I'll find some use for it.
wtf
literally the first part of every business is figuring out who your customers are
LITERALLY 0 businesses in the world generate revenue from everyone equally

The only use for my ps4p is the upcoming MHW expansion, and thats it, and just because all of my friends are playing on the ps4 too

(you)
>gamer gators planting fake evidence to incriminate people
like clockwork
This.
It's been a meme in the community for years that two quiet people like Volke or Jaffar have conversations of nothing but elipses. But they actively cut the one good support in the whole game. It leads me to belive that either it's placeholder text they forgot to change, or some higher up told them to make the support less morbid and they decided to replace it with a joke.
And no, the B conversation doesn't cram the C support, it blatantly continues as if the normal C support had happened, and they even refer to it. Which leads me to belive in either of my suppositions.
And Devils Third
And Fatal Frame V
And Wonderful 101
And Hyrule Warriors
And TMS #FE
Two of those were censored so you're only strenghtening OP's argument.
>Nintendo says censorship is bad for the industry
never forget
Clickbait
>Nintendo against censorship
Reality
>Nintendo leaves rating agencies to police 3rd party games
>Will censor their own 1st and 2nd party games whenever they feel like it.
I guess this is an improvement for them but it is pretty depressing that this is about as good as we can hope for from vidya nowadays.
A lot of the people who censored games during the Wii U actually got fired when Japanese Nintendo got word of what Nintendo of America was doing.
Just compare how heavily Xenoblade X was butchered to how hands-off Xenoblade 2's localization was.
>>Will censor their own 1st and 2nd party games whenever they feel like it.
But they don't anymore.
Nothing marks a pedophile more clearly than his love of giant bouncing tits.
they do the same thing sony is doing now. Both east and west versions are censored in house right from the get go so that there is no disparity between them.
Talking about 1st and 2nd party games, not 3rd party.
>And overlocalisation is an understatement, some of the changes were really pointless. Like why change Marbeni to Amalthus? Or Melef to Morag? Seems like a waste of effort.
The English localization really wanted to double down on the British/Celtic vibe that the first Xenoblade had. Most people don't know this, but a lot of dialogue and names in Xenoblade 1 were localized and changed to feel British.
It's really bizarre, but a lot of fans pressured the localization team of Xenoblade 2 to bring back britbongs. Nobody asked them to replace the Christian lore with British paganism though.
Tell that to Mr. Game and Watch
So is Game and Watch a Native Indian now?
It was bizarre that this was kept in in the first place since it had already been changed in every single appearence of Mr Game & Watch since Melee and G&W Gallery 4 in 2002. Feels like they just forgot about it.
The Japanese version had Mythra's outfit censored as well, it wasn't just the localized version. It wasn't also because of Nintendo, you can thank CERO for that one.
That's rich coming from nintendo, considering their history.
>Imagine this kind of translation done for say Shakespeare for other languages
Neither the translators nor most of the people who play these games thinks of vidya as on par with literature. Which is retarded, but there you go.
>WTF why am I expected to actually raise my child properly? I'm a father, but that doesn't mean I should act like one!
If you can't be bothered to actually raise your kids then why even have them in the first place?
I truly believe he had no idea what lolicon meant and thought it was a generic "ew gross anime-fan slobbering over anime girls" insult, and when he realised his mistake he desperately tried to justify himself.
It's mostly the visual stuff that matters to SJWs, like bare skin and offensive imaginary. It's not necessarily mainstream enough game to use as an example, but Crusader Kings 2 has a pagan/tribal game mechanic where you can force imprisoned female characters older than 16 as your literal sex slaves, and Paradox has gotten away with it for over six years since it's portrayed pretty much only as text.
Iwata is dead. People try to say it wasn't him, but it obviously was his directive and vision for Nintendo to be a family brand
By censoring the feather in Smash Ultimate it actually made the reference deeper and richer, since that was censored in Game & Watch gallery as well.
Mr Game and Watch made sense. It's legitimately offensive to people who actually exist (not the fault of the original designers, Nips in the 80s didn't know shit about culture outside of Japan). It's not like a "oh but she has big boobs and women with big boobs don't exist" thing.
They added even hotter suit in FFV, and altered couple of suits in #FE.
These two games more lewd than anything on switch so far.
They probably figured what was fine 39 years should still be fine today.
Based. Fuck nintendo. I want Project Zero on switch uncensored.
>These two games more lewd than anything on switch so far.
Not at all, especially not TMS post-censorship. It's not any lewder than something like Fire Emblem Warriors with its armor break.
I'd consider DMCAing a form of censorship, which Nintendo are still the absolute best at.
Shame they couldn't get a competent cast back because XB2's dub is fucking garbage when 1's was actually decent.
Nintendo did that and during a time when video games were looked at as kids’ toys. They’ve since understood that adults play games too. Sony, understood this a long time ago, but recently fell for the SJW meme.
But they do?
Nintendo released like 3 video reaching a mouth breathing retard how the parental controls work
People like that suffer from boner shame. They get a boner from the same stuff those gross sexist straight white cis male nerds do and they go into a panic trying to deflect any suspicions from themselves.
Kind of like how those most vocal anti-gay people turn out to be gay. Or those male feminists keep turning out to be sexual predators.
Sony is getting bloated by old fucks and religious Cali-tards.
Ironically Nintendo had a lot of it’s old guard die off or retire
Good bait. Compelled to reply. Consider sterilization if you can't handle that kids will eventually see things you don't approve of, especially if you aren't willing to do anything to prevent it.
smash switch was heavily censored
>A lot of the people who censored games during the Wii U actually got fired when Japanese Nintendo got word of what Nintendo of America was doing.
Why do people keep saying this as though there's a shred of evidence to support it?
Here's an actual lolicon fantasy.
I would not consider censoring a party game to have lowest possible age rating globally exactly same thing as just censoring western releases (which Nintendo used to do), or as censoring sexual content in games not intended to all ages to begin with.
It's just the usual retardation perpetuated on Yea Forums.
>One type of sexual innuendo is exchanged for another.
>CENSORSHIP!
I bet you get mad when a character says "How do you do?" when the original line was "Hello again."
>I'm glad Nintendo changed their minds after the WiiU era in terms of censorship
They never changed their minds.
They haven't censored a third party game since the SNES. What they censor are first party games (or ones they're localizing), which to be fair is more understandable and nobody complained when Sony did the same thing.
What was "heavily" censored about it?
He's going to say bare legs on a png and ignore stuff like Snake's weapons not drawing blood or his grab not snapping people's necks.
They changed some outfits for spirits, nerfed Samus and Snake's asses. I can't remember anything else.
Square-Enix did that, check the credits at least.
>nerfed Samus and Snake's asses
I don't think you know what censorship means
Oh yeah the Wii U, Nintendo's zenith...
I can't believe he called it.
I'm not the guy he was calling out. Sorry bro.
>content regulation for third-party titles was better left to ratings agencies like the ESRB and CERO
As it should fucking be. It's LITERALLY the reason why these boards exist. God I fucking hate Sony.
People have Game and Watch's censorship as legitimate criticism for this statement but instead like the retards they are, they use last gen censorship examples or Mythra's censorship by the CERO ratings board
This is every thread
Maybe some people consider that a different can of worms than what Sony has been doing.
>I'm not that guy, I'm some other guy, the original guy just never responded.
>Please ignore that I did the exact thing that he predicted.
Nice try, zoom zoom. Even if you were a different person, you proved his point.
yeah, but the thing is, take Omega labyrinth for example, they are both CERO-D, yet nintendo version is untoched, and Sony's censored
which beg the question: why? they are for 17+ for fuck sake. no children can "legally" play that shit. why bother censored it?
>wearing a bikini at the beach is sexualisation
what?
In this case I'd argue it's California and not being the market leader. Sony was pretty lax on censorship until they fully set up in California, and the were the market leader for a couple of years before that.
Nintendo's Treehouse is also based in California and censored a ton of shit until Nintendo slapped them on the head.
Because SJWs at Sony are on a crusade against anime. Sony's excuse of protecting children is a lie on top of being completely ludicrous since rating boards already exist for that purpose.
It's talking about how we take pictures of, analyze, gawk at and jerk it to pictures of underaged celebrities.
>meanwhile nintendo takes down anything that uses their products or image
yes and?
>copyright protection is censorship
t. chinese communist
That's why resetera pretends he never existed right
t. HIRE THIS MAN drone
Is Treehouse BTFO?
Treehouse got BTFO a while ago now.
Is it true that they are based on cucklifornia? I never heard of that until now
nintendo censor things since the nes era so it's okish.
The Treehouse people we see at E3 all seem too nice and genuinely in love with the games they demonstrate for me to think they'd want to alter them, I prefer to believe it was all a couple people in the background (like the absolute faggot Nich Maragos) who were behind it and they got dealt with.
>that dumb bitch from the Treehouse gets fired a few years back
>Treehouse gets significantly better
As if it matters.
>you proved his point.
I mean, I wasn't stating that I agreed that the censorship was "heavy." I was just recalling the changes made to Ultimate. Unfortunately I forgot all about G&W, which is funny considering it's a better example.
It's more likely for a company to tell a single employee to stop when they get negative feedback from consumers. When it becomes ingrained in policy like Sony, that's when you get more GAMERS ARE DEAD rhetoric.
don't engage with the retards, user. Just let them shout into the void
Why is California such a fucking meme?
Anyone have the cap of the photographer with the achewood avatar verbally bitchslapping him?
Because it is home to the most insane and disgusting people.
its more along the line of Sony prioritizes western market now instead

No. I just need a placeholder disgusting image. My new phone has severe lack of shit images of Sony and Homos.
glad I'm a ninchad instead of a snoycuck
Unfortunately, success usually leads to arrogance. That's something they're all guilty of.
Didn't Suda at Momocon just say that Nintendo asked him to edit some of his cutscenes for TSA?
She was moonlighting as well as a nutter who wrote a thesis favoring the legalization of Pedophilia by citing Japan. She was asking to get fired from a Japanese company.
There are arguments for both sides in the case of Mr. Game and Watch. It was the original vision of the character for Smash Ultimate and it was an acknowledgement of the character's past, warts and all. There are also other instances of cartoon red indians stereotypes still being shown on TV in the US so it isn't as if it was something that would clearly get push back. Frankly, if the character was more popular like Mario, I imagine Nintendo would have ignored the uproar and moved ahead with the design. That said, I did think Nintendo handled the situation well by not sugar coating or straight up lying about their decision the change him.
Damn he was actually destroyed
bad for the industry, good for society
at least sony cares about something greater than disposable entertainment
They will never admit their part in the fault, a bad parent won't admit they are a bad parent and will deny it no matter what.
If they did they would censor violence too. I will never understand American mentality where seeing fictional titties is considered more inappropriate than fictional murder.
worshiping anime titties is more modern trend. while killing is ancient tradition.
I bet both those faggots have a stash.
Fair enough, my bad.
Gravity Rush was bad, and 2 was worse.
Yeah, exactly the same.
I wish I checked steam for DMC5 because I somehow falsely assumed it only released for consoles like KH3.
>Nintendo changed
sure, bud, enjoy your Treehouse “professional” “translations”
You said that it was heavily censored, and that's all you can come up with? Really?
What does the Jap version say?
Something like “You did it nicely [in a thankful manner]. Your task is complete.”
The Treehouse made him le quirky for american audiences and completely changed his personality and mood because fuck actually localizing games while maintaining the author’s intent.
>Stop objectifying that digital 3D object

Is Platinum a Nintendo company now?
Since this is outrage culture thread, have the American SJWs thrown a fit about playing as cops yet?
Based Compa finally understood who will take a better care of her
Sony started acting differently because they moved their headquarters to California
Most if it makes sense. Calling the aegis the heavenly holy grail would have been a mouthful a lot of the time. God to architect doesn't make as much sense, but I don't think it's Ill fitting
What caused this 180° policy change for Nintendo?
There's no explicit stated reason, but there's a few clues.
All the censorship suspiciously fizzled out in 2015, right after Iwata died.
Wii U was a failure among non hardcore nintendo fans, perhaps they wanted to redo their image
Third parties weren't happy with how their sales were being affected by censorship, see Bravely Second.
Very true, but I felt the Western names fit the theme of the world better.
Time to hope someone at Sony dies then
But Nintendo owns the Astral Chain IP and is just contracting Platinum?
My guess would be the massive backlash at all the treehouse bullshit from a few years back.
It already has, Switch gets a shit ton of third party releases
Gee i wonder
Interesting note this image and filename is now 3 years old
>Is Platinum a Nintendo company now?
They should be.
It's kinda similar actually. As soon as Kaz left his spot as head of SIE for a spot on the Sony corporate board, bits of stuff about Sony's relationships going sour with smaller devs started coming out, and as Kaz positioned to retire completely Sony started to explicitly justify and set in stone this new policy.
its not rays of light but jesus
>Wanting the unhackable version
based retard
>Nintendo has a history of censoring shit when they were on top.
>literally only the Wii was the only time they were ever on top censoring a lot of shit
SNES too
NES? SNES?
Yet they decided to keep in how the dragon loli was sold as a slave and had sex with literally thousands of men
patched switches have been a thing for a while now
>durrr her butt is censored!
No it's not you fucking idiot the title logo just happens to be bigger in the US box art because the age rating logo isn't fuckhuge like it is in europe
They also removed a sexy outfit in Fatal Frame 5 but still kept how the character who wore it was born from incest between a woman and her brother's ghost.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE
It's not even Europe, it's specifically Germany. The rest of Europe and Japan have the same size ratings as the US and the logo is in the same place in all of them.
It's not hard to find an "old" unit.
Whats the point of saying that.
Do most people believe limiting creators freedom of expression and consumers ability to consume what they want is an inherently positive thing to do?
Fuck off pedo
It's the "right side of history"-narrative of the SJW types. They themselves can't understand why any good people would disagree with them in anything.
Wear a condom, retard.
>Germans getting the good cover art
based
>censoring means improving something now
Isn't Mr. Game & Watch fault that native Americans are a bunch of over sensitive subhumans
Yeah, just look all those ZRfags defending the nuTifa
It's always white people getting offended in the place of native americans.
Natives are legit whiny bitches though.
I found a 4.1 version today, those are now hackable, patched or not
Has someone made a worldwide poll of how large percentage actually held those beliefs?
>Nintendo would never censor ga-
They just think they know the best and want to save the world and poor, ignorant masses. SJWs are evangelical moralfags of current years.
So the localization gave him more personality? Seems like a stupid thing to complain about.
>thread is about Nintendo changing their stance on censorship for the better
>look at this game Nintendo censored nine years ago
gotcha, op
I want to play online user
Well 3/4 of their games are for children, so there's nothing to censor there. And the rest...yeah, nice joke Nintendo.
Isn’t Treehouse in Washington?
