quality article

What fucking topsy-turvy world are we living where it's fucking Nintendo who's telling Sony off for censoring games?

What went wrong?

Because THIS IS FOR THE PLAYER

The ESRB doesn't force you to censor anything

They want to ensure their games get released in China to guarantee everything they sell breaks a million.

>NO NO NO EVERY GAMES SHOULD HAVE TITS PUSSY SEX DICKS AAAAARRRTTASSGHHHHH
This is your brain on gamer.

It doesn't directly force anything, but when retailers won't carry your game if it doesn't adhere to ESRB ratings then it effectively does force you to modify the game.

this
resetera always wins baybay

>why?

We all know why and at this point its been discussed to death. I don't care anymore, Nintendo shows a willingness to let things exist as they are and to let the ESRB and other ratings boards do their jobs.

Snoyboys gave money to a corporation that has been anti consumer for over a decade now. The PS4 was going to be exactly like the Xbone when it was announced with always on internet DRM and having to pay to activate second hand discs. They weren't first to announce their plastic box so they could backpeddle but they were still anticonsumer at heart.

Not really because they aren't censoring homoshit, and homoshit is banned in the mainland.

Retailers are becoming less relevant. They already have less complete catalogs than their digital counterparts.
The only viable censorship claim you can make is that you can't find AO games anywhere.

based and reseterapilled

When even fucking nintendo is lecturing you about censorship bad, you know shit's crossed a line.

The no drugs no swearing no religion says censorship is bad?

Oh wait that was NoA, never mind

Nobody fucking cares, No normal human plays these pedo games you fucking sperg

This is odd coming from them considering they censor games hard at Nintendo and been for a long ass time.

That was Nintendo of America. The person from the article is from Japan.

>pedoera berating people for ""child porn"" games

They gotta try and pretend they are past it somehow.

Oh. I see.

I'm both happy and confused. Nintendo used to be the most censorship-happy platform out of them all to prevent offending kids and their parents. This is surreal.

Because they think that they are cleaning up their platform. I don't know who they are listening to, but apparently those people don't want to own a platform where people can buy what they want. Sony is a corporation, they don't act on their feelings, so they probably did some research and think that they gain more by censoring games than they lose.

>anime titties are important
>t. gamer

>cleaning up their platform
Let them first clean up shit like Life of Black Tiger.

hi fellow resetera friend

Because it asks for the opinion of women and redditors instead of gamers.
And when it does ask Yea Forums the market researchers just fly off the handle and shitpost about their customers being idiots whenever they are confronted on their shilling.

Look, we all know that it comes from SJWs and people like anita sarkeesian. Nobody is crying and pretend to be offended that shit games exist, but those people will absolutely make themself heard whenever a woman wears revealing clothes. Unless you start a twitter movement that mentions boycotting a platform because of shit games they won't do shit.

>Nobody fucking cares
Trying to appeal to popularity on an anonymous imageboard? Sorry, you fail.

Doesn't excuse it from being $15 while being promoted in a trailer on Sony's official YouTube channel which contains STOLEN music.

Yes is a bad move from sony's part but honestly it doesnt matter since they have the biggest market share (by a land slide) so is up to Microsoft and nintendo to make sony stop doing this stuff .

hmm ok.

Excuse it from what? Existing? As I said, if you want it removed then make a fuss about it. They ain't gonna do shit by themself.

Actually, these games are incredibly important and need to be preserved in the way the developers intended.

dialate

It's more like
>NO NO NO EVERY GAMES SHOULDNT HAVE ANY SEXUAL CONTENT EVERY GAMES SHOULD BE ACCESIBLE TO ALL AUDIENCES
coming from the other side. Not every game should have tits and not every game is meant to be enjoyed by every person

WHY DOES NINTENDO DELETE MUSIC FROM FIRE EMBLEM ON YOUTUBE

Anime tiddies besides, they're completely right. Censorship if anything should be left to an "impartial" entity.

Either way it's fucking stupid to apply ass backwards California morals for virtue signaling to Jap games.
I also fucking hate this association that liking fictional tits somehow correlates to hating women.

People did make a fuss.

because they can’t into user-generated content, so of course they’ll think fair use doesn’t exist.
look at Mario Maker. Nintendo treats it as some fucking reinvention of the wheel and completely ignore Lunar Magic.

Nintendo doesn't deal with SJW BS, most of the time. They want everyone to have a good experience on their platform and that experience is to game and not care about anything else. That's been Nintendo's core value since they got really into the industry in the late 80s and 90s. If anything hinders that experience and it ruins their values and profit, Nintendo would take action. But if it's just some stupid complaining from a couple SJWs who complain about every single thing and provide no real argument to be made, Nintendo says LOL and do their own thing.

Nintendo is the Disney of the gaming world in that they can do whatever they want and still make loads of money.

>parental controls and good parenting replace censorship
the it is
Sony knows their target audiences parents don't care about their children

The same reason Nintendo did it for 20+ years.

This. It's a lost cause for now, but It's gonna be hilarious if next gen Microsoft takes their normalfag audience back from Sony.

No, sony knows that the people crying out about anime tiddies don't want the option not to see them, they want nobody to be able to see them.

Resetera hijacked Sony and they plan on killing gaming. They're failing horribly

One thing I have to praise Nintendo for is that they don't want to become a monopoly on the industry. They work with other companies and they recognize the importance of competition, even though they are doing their own thing.

that's because most of them are "raised" by single mothers

negro, you gotta understand that people who are bothered about “objectification” and “sexualization” of a female character just for the mere fact of a man getting a boner is pure projection.
these people are sad empty husks of human beings. they are unable to conduct a normal healthy relationship with someone who loves and desires them, if they are truly that radical in terms of sexual attraction. how could you claim to have genuine affection for a person who you’d chastise everyday for liking the way you look? (short of the person being a masochist who enjoys humiliation)
and if they don’t do it when it regards their own private life, they are simply being hypocrites who enjoy policing other people’s dicks and lesbian pussies.

MS taking away a bunch of weeb games as exclusives during the PS3 era should have been a wake up call for Sony, but all they need is market dominance and suddenly they unlearn everything and go back to FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLARS

Jokes on them, I find "convenient censorship" like that hotter anyway.

ironically, if you shopped out that small remaining part of her panties, the right pic would be 1000x hotter

>thinking change in localization is the same as censorship.

Man, you’re fucking dumb. At least got it correct

>censor games for the longest time
>now its bad
fuck off Nintendo

because they got hijacked by california commies

Aw heck yeah, a Mystery Dungeon / Rogue type game.

Blame Treehouse and their stupid idea that Woolseism is a good thing.

Read

woolseism can be good but you gotta do it right
and you can’t trust these people to be competent at their job

It's not censorship you fucking retard. Sony can decide whatever kind of content they want to allow in their platform. Also they are not shooting themselves at all as nobody gives a shit about weeb trash.

nintendo censor games for years

It's a walk on a very thin ice lake, i've rarely seen it being used effectively without sacrificing something in the process.
Secret of Mana got the worst out of the SNES era because of this.

I don't know why Playstation and Xbox exist, as hardware. Both platforms offer nothing unique, and all of their games would benefit from being on PC exclusively. The consoles themselves bring nothing except a trademarked logo. Nintendo is almost in the same boat, with the exception is the Switch is portable which gives it a unique value.

Wooseyism is essentially humor.
You’re using creativity to spice up the translation.
But if you don’t have a good sense of humor and professionalism, you just come off as an unfunny tryhard. specially if you shoehorn memes to compensate the fact you got nothing of your own to contribute.

Looks like spencer is listening to you, I really don't know if there's gonna be another xbox after scarlett.

>I don't care anymore, Nintendo shows a willingness to let things exist as they are and to let the ESRB and other ratings boards do their jobs.
Agreed.

>Sony is a corporation, they don't act on their feelings
Have you seen their new policy on approving games? You haven't, because they don't have one. Any game can be censored by the whims of whatever the middle manager Sony has assigned to them.

>you just come off as an unfunny tryhard
in fact, it really feels like a comedian failing at a stand up show. it doesn’t just look bad, you feel ashamed and dirty looking at it, like seeing a baby shitting the bed and smearing it on his face.

>spend the entire 80s and 90s censoring the fuck out of games on their consoles
>fast forward to 2019
>Censoring is bad now
what is Nintendo's endgame?

based

that was fucking 50 years ago
they can change their policy on shit and individuals can change their minds

they’ve been making so many integration programs between xbox and windows that I really doubt they will keep making perfectly fine PCs that only run games and apps like Twitch.
someday they will just sell prebuilt Windows machines with an Xbox UI mod. everything else is already in place.

go drink cum

You pretty much summed up every major NiSA localization in a nutshell.

Nobody gives a shit about niche animu shovelware.

Sorry user, haven't you heard the new program? You're not allowed anymore to redeem yourself from past mistakes, once it's done, it's a stigma that will pursuit you for the rest of eternity and shame you the moment some random faggot on Twitter will uncover it.

>no new IP
OH NONONONONONO

Retard.

>implying I own a current gen console

>move hq to commiefornia
>start pandering to bloated hiv ridden degenerates
>churn out generic cinematic trash

yea i know but it doesnt change facts
people can focus on having their dirty laundry aired out to the public but they can also own and say "so fucking what?"
most people who point fingers at others are doing so to detract attention from themselves - the joke is to reverse the situation by calling them out on their shit disturbing ways and cast as much unwanted attention back at them as possible so that people question their credibility and integrity

Why SJWs get mad over the fact that Nintendo won't censor anime games.
claiming that they don't care while coming all the way to this threads just to post about how much they don't care is not very convincing.
just stay with SONY. don't have to be drama queen just for other people enjoying something that you don't.

Because Sony's image is based off of what OTHER companies/developers do. Sony doesn't make games , they buy licences, that's their pit they've fallen into.
A company as big as Sony hasn't built an image or reputation that would shield them from something so simple and inconsequential, it's astounding actually.

What are we going to do when 90% of nintendo games come with a 'sexual themes' label? just leave it to the ESRB dude.

Woah woah woah hang on! Nintendo is now telling Sony to fuck off with their censorship?

We have entered a bizarro timeline.

What demographic does Sony have that it needs to censor things.

Sony basically became an American company.

That was my point, due to Reshitera and people like Jim Fucking Sterling Son acting like the Internet police, it seems you're not allowed to take a single step in what can be considered not PC because otherwise you'll be forever under a rain of sticks and stones with no chance of explaining, owning up or just having a fucking dialogue.
Expecting people to be flawless and going full on apeshit at the minimal sign of a mistake is stupid and oppressive, something should be done about that.

>Literally bringing up censorship from 6 years ago when SJWs ran Treehouse

Why can't retarded weebs look at some hentai instead of playing these zero effort games.

Are you so lacking in porn a butt crack in DMC5 is a crime. Have you heard of pornhub

When nintendo was at the top they would censor everything, now that sony is in the top it started censoring things...it's almost like companies don't have morals and are just doing what is necessary at their position while the smaller guy jabs at it trying to recoup that position

Love how Sony's censorship isn't enough for many Resetaryans.

One possible example might be the renaming of the Russian character in Punch-Out!! (1984) from “Vodka Drunkenski” to “Soda Popinski” when the game was brought to America.

Censorship is free speech now?
that have a feeling like 1984 if you ask me.

Nintendo got a sniff of Otaku money with Fire Emblem Heroes and Sony moved to Califonia.

Fun fact: all console/handheld releases have to be cleared by rating boards (ESRB, PEGI, CERO, etc.) before they're allowed on the market. Every single Japanese game Sony censored over the last year was already approved for mature audiences by CERO (at the very least), meaning no illegal content, full nudity, or sexually explicit material was found in any of these titles before Sony stepped in.
