Its not a bad thing, it's just odd that after years of localizing and censorship, they've let up quite a bit, why?
Yeah, I have too. It's neat, and they are doing that because they are japanese.

It's always been there. It's only because now you a familiar with Japanese culture do you now notice it.
If you look at the retro games you'll find Japanese culture there too.

Most original monsters are inspired from Japanese folklore
>Pokemon
Ever not being Japanese in it's presentation/design
>Kirby
Holy fuck again with the monster design also >>>>>food
>Sonic
Sonic is not Nintendo nor has been touched by them holy crap. Sonic has always been the improper fusion of Sega of America and Sega of Japan anyway.
