Most people couldn't care less if it's something vanity being censored.
>>
>>335941423
So that people who dont play their game arnt offended

Political Agenda.

Also I don't think their is anyone who makes better doujin than Shuz. Perfect girls and happy sex are the best.

>nobody likes censored games
Correction: people who don't play video games like censored games. Nintendo doesn't seem to realize this.

NoA is mentally stuck in the 90s.

That doujin sucked. No penetration.

Reviewers like censored games and Nintendo censors for the reviewers.

The content has literally no impact on sales, both, censored and uncensored games have proved this for a long time now. But it has a big impact on the western journalists. So to avoid all reviews on the big game journo circle(Kotaku, Polygon, IGN etc.) to be flailing around content they deem questionable in their goal to make video games more progressive by the American campus standard, Jap companies rather self censor their games.

Tbh, its a kind of terrorism though. The western gaming journalism is controlled by a relatively small outlet of websites, most of which exchange writers ever so often. Holding a gun like that to Japanese devs, is utterly ridiculous.

In a way nothing's changed over the years. The bullies from the 90's now play video games as well, due to the mediums popularity. But since they still don't feel comfortable, they try to change the medium to their standard, so they don't have to feel pathetic when doing it. Its really just sad.

Eventually, reviewers will no longer be used. Instead, games will be given to Youtubers, who will do the previewing in extensive ways for a month before release. Better promotion and you can be sure that Youtubers actually play your game.

Nintendo as a whole doesn't seem to have a fucking clue who their games are marketed towards.

Their easy games are too easy/shallow even for children, and NoA censors games* aimed toward their core gamers-- even though the censoring hasn't once lowered the ESRB rating. It is blatantly just personal decisions of the localization staff, and those people making those decisions need to be swept and replaced.

I would say it is not at all a stretch to think that NoA's endless fuckups in the past few years along with their atrocious localization teams (8-4 and Treehouse) have hurt Nintendo's overall image immensely.

* as an aside, I have seen people focusing way too much on what, specifically, is censored. people will say "it's just outfits you weeb!" or some retarded justification. these people are completely missing the point. what gets censored is not important-- it's the fact things are being censored at all. if it has to be censored to meet some kind of country-specific laws that is one thing. but if it

>doesn't affect the ESRB rating
and
>isn't due to concern over Western laws (like a loli in a sexy outfit or something)

then don't fucking touch it, no matter what it is.

of course all of this is second to my bigger recent problem with nintendo: their localizers can't write or translate to save their fucking lives, and now seem to just make shit up in places

That would explain why most of those asshats all seem to share the exact same opinions. Sometimes it sounds like they're all reading from the same script.

Most of America could care less about nip/weaboo sexual-manipulation. A nice pair of tits n' ass here or there in the actual game is enough.

I just hope for their sake that they don't stay assholes their entire lives. No hard feelings

Most people here have no idea how censorship laws work in various countries.

Yelling at the devs/publishers will not change the cenorship. You're fighting the wrong enemy. Go after the laws, go after the people who make them and enforce them.

Why they censor games intended to adults?

actually it's the opposite. they are questioning/altering everything INSTEAD OF doing their job which is to translate and release games in English.

There are no laws forcing Nintendo to censor a bikini on a completely legally aged woman in the (M-rated) Fatal Frame 5. Shut the fuck up saying WE have no idea how the laws work
>>
>>335947634
I assume you mean for #FE?
Well she isn't actually 18. We all know she got an age change on paper but still looks younger.

You'd be amazed at the laws dealing with child/underaged actors in the US.
>>
>>335947954
haha nah, this is more recent. the obsession with being "family friendly" in NoA started during Wii era which coincidentally is the point the company went to shit
>>
>>335949070
>but still looks younger

she literally does not even. her tits are enormous. she could be anywhere from 17-21+
>>
I don't understand why censorship is still a thing, when nobody appreciates it except an elite minority of holier than thou fucktards, such as feminists, hyper religious people, etc. Censorship isn't something most people value anymore (if it ever even was), and if the premise is fewer people will be offended if we employ censorship, I promise more people are offended by the censorship than whatever content is being censored.

If it was seriously such a huge problem to show what debatably looks to be an underage character in skimpy clothing, then Senran Kagura wouldn't be able to get away with showing Mirai, a 16-year-old that looks 10, stripped naked and bent over a drum and getting her ass smacked by bamboo sticks without getting pulled from shelves. It's just a poor excuse.

There's been a recent belief spreading among the younger generation that presenting mild sexual themes means you intend to offend women. According to some, showing cleavage is the same as telling female players that they aren't allowed to play because the game is for men.

Some of Nintendo's Treehouse staff are among this group, and Nintendo is a particularly out of touch company to begin with so they might believe at a corporate level that American games need to be censored to avoid controversy.

>>335941423
NoA doesn't use the ESRB when they decide whether they want to censor a game or not as most parents who buy their kids games don't know how it works and many game selling stores don't bother to ask for ID, this is evident by Fatal Frame's censorship. Instead they use difficulty as a factor.

If a game is easy enough that the average child can play through it, it's likely going to receive strong censorship assuming there's anything worth censoring to begin with yet if it's too difficult, it might not receive as much, this is why XCX received very little censorship. Anyone can figure out how to play a game like Fire Emblem because the basic formula of your average rpg is just to level up in order to win

Yes anon, very little. Especially when compared to what was censored in Fates, Fatal Frame, and TMS, those count as the majority of the game while the changes to XCX mostly effected one character.
>>
>>335954784
All the character creator and fundoshi.
>>
>>335954975
That really isn't much.

Fatal Frame 5:
Lingerie altered out of the game
Implied child rape scene altered
Water effects removed
Camera angles altered to prevent you from looking up the girl's skirts

Fire Emblem Fates:
Most of the bathing suits removed
Petting mini game taken out
Dialogue regarding drugging characters and some other shit I can't remembered altered

Tokyo Mirage Sessions:
Posters of girls in bikinis in one dungeon altered to modest clothing
Two of Tsubasa's outfits confirmed altered to hide cleavage and panties respectively
Certain DLC may not even be released overseas
>>
>>335946876
DELETE THIS!!!
>>
>>335954975
That's really not much but if it was decided by difficulty like that other guy said then why the fuck would they censor the fundoshi?
Almost no one could make those without being 100 hours in to the game.
>>
Censorship is like you telling me I cannot eat this steak because a baby can't chew through it.
>>
>>335941423
Because they value their moral purity over their customers satisfaction or selling copies.

NoA is the epitome of social justice and feminism, they would rather go bankrupt than release a game where a 17 year old girl wears a swimsuit.

It's completely illogical, like everything else liberal regressive authoritarians do.
>>
>>335956561
There are two possibilities that I can think of

1. They planned to censor all of the game's lewd outfits and started with the fundoshi but decided to go through with the rest and just left the changes to the fundoshi in

2. The fundoshi is coded differently from the rest of the outfits since male characters could also wear it. The changes were only meant to effect Lin but somewhere along the lines they screwed up with the coding and the changes effected everyone.

because a company that makes games for children prefers not to have half naked women in all their fucking games

If we're talking released in Japan only, a couple of Alicesoft games got ported to 3DS. They even "kept" the porn scenes by altering them to be extremely lewd instead of outright porn.
