Nintendo of America now Censoring third party games

This shit just popped up on my Desktop, what the fuck is going on with NoA? Are they doubling down on stupidity? Why did they force Namco Bandai to take out the Sword in Dragon Ball Fusions, I'm actually kinda worried about the Nintendo Switch now.

Hasn't Nintendo been doing this kind of censorship since the NES days where crosses had to be removed?
And didn't they have bad blood?

Why ?

is it only american copies?
because if it is, EU WINS AGAIN,

2extreme

Well they stopped after the SNES, but for some reason are bringing these strict rules back.

Come back to me with a definitive answer or don't post again at all.

Thing is that Namco hasn't pulled a move this drastic on any other console, while Nintendo has a bad history with it.

Only reason anyone gives a shit about EU version s is because of the UK, which will be departing.

Nobody gives a shit about your dozen archaic primitive languages except for the poor socks of shit that are stuck speaking it, and anthropologists.

Dragon Ball in general has been hit pretty hard by censorship recently, even in Japan.

This reminds me of an article saying that Nintendo covered Catwoman's boobs in Batman Arkham City Armored Edition. It was covered in armor.

FTFY no need to thank me

Wait if they removed the sword of Dragonball fusion, what the fuck are they going to do about Skyrim?

I'm more offended Piccolo has both of his arms when doing his special beam cannon.

what the fuck is going on with red heads torso?

I wonder what NoA will try to do to censor Skyrim, Dark Souls and nuDooD on the NS?

american is the only language you ever need to know kid, other languages are literally shit, who the fuck speaks for instance italian in 2016 lmao

They're making DB kid friendly

When the fuck are we getting a gory DB game? Dragon Ball always had gore, yet the games are always neutered! I want to feel like I'm actually HURTING my opponent and not just slapping him with dirt.

Here in Latinland we call localization and censorship
MARICONIZACIÓN

I only have one question for Holla Forums: do you want to kill this censorship issue once and for all?

Y/N, reply to this post. In several hours, depending on the demand, I will, or not, introduce a plan of action. But first archival!

Y

Y

Wouldn't surprise me. That's why they have tentacle porn and invented the Rabbit vibrator.

...

Okay? Doesn't change you yourself are from a third world shithole that more than likely has its fair share of censorship due to even more autistic reasons than what Nintendo is doing. But yeah, I'll give you your little "Mami es Meme" sticker since I'm sure that's why you felt the need to announce you're a beaner, or maybe it was because of the DBZ cum that attracted you.

dude weed lmao

how about you stop being a melodramatic faggot and just post your stupid shit so we can get this over with.

These examples feel less about censorship and more developers being lazy with character models.

So feminizing/sissying things? Is there an english pejorative equivalent? usually I am good at Spanish-English localization
Pussing out is all I can think off.

...

I will, I need sleep. worked 96 hours straight, my brain is fried. But it will be a hostile guerrilla market tactic, we actually need to be fast, and furious. Should I take your response as a Y?

Nintendo, please cancel Fire Emblem or tweak it. I cannot stand to play a game with so many dangerous-looking sharp weapons like swords and axes. Please make it a diplomacy and world peace game, with a healthy focus on talking with my gay couple. That's the current year way of doing things, not with war.

And by God do the same with Kirby, how can that little imp carry such a large sword?

Is there an english pejorative equivalent?
Maybe faggotyzation?

dunno what is that
lol I don't live in Mexico…

What do you mean, "now"?
How new are you?

why is sora's keyblade floating in that pic?

I want to see your plan torguy
Y

that was fucking terrible. though you are rather forgetful aren't you?

I'm finally convinced some suit at NoA has a boner for pissing off anti-censorship autists because this makes absolutely no fucking sense whatsoever and I'm pretty sure Bamco would get shitcanned if they were lying about this, blaming Nintendo just to cover their own asses. This is without a doubt the most ridiculous, 4kids-tier censorship they've pulled in recent memory.

Maybe it's because Nintendo have drunk their own Kool-Aid and actually believed the "attach/side console" bullshit - which basically means they once again have a monopoly and can do whatever the fuck they want… because there is no competition in the "side console" market. Nor do they have any competition in the portable game market anymore.

Remember that Nintendo has always been happy to throw video-games and game players under the bus if they think it'll help them corner the market or increase revenue.

*streamlined

just say who the fuck i need to bomb. if you don't it'll be you.

Simple, NoA want the group they had for the Wii and want to sell only Mario/Zelda/Pokemon, which has been going on since even before the Wii. So they censor the fuck out of certain games to steal some cash and go "it sold like shit here" because of the changes (overall profit) and no advertisements what so ever. If you can only hear about certain games (non-indie) from online sources, you've got an issue. I'm sure most non-Jap gamers learned about FE from Melee, I know I sure did. There's a screencap of a post that explained it better than me though.

Though more deplorable is NoA now doing censoring for third-party games and I'm sure their telling NoJ a totally different story.

I want to put my dick on it

I WANT TO FUCK ARALE 18

also Pandel looks like a fucking Touhou

Porn when?

that's like reverse "as told by ginger"

the mouth is too fucking up.

haha those nerds only want to jerk off to underage titties that will teach the- what do you mean you can't use swords anymore???

He never actually used the sword. It was more of an ornament than anything.

It's censorship.
Dragon Ball Super has no blood or gore either.

Even Roshi's signature nosebleed at sexy girls got replaced by steam.

They're dumbing down DB for lowest common toddler denominator.

I don't get this at all. What's next, removing punching and fighting?

Why? Are swords no longer allowed in Teen rated games? Or are Nintendo in the mindset that they need to appeal to kids and the whole family?

I just want to tenderly love normal Arale.

Yes.

...

Roxas/Ventus using Master Form duh.

...

In DBS's case it's not because there is nothing they're censoring, the original content in the show is already neutered compared to original Dragon Ball and Z.

You can thank Evangelion for that and scaring Japan into being concerned about what kids get to see on TV. As a result anime airing on TV is almost always aired censored or dumbed down compared to its source material.

Nigga, do you even DANGEROUS?

It always was. The problem is Japan now has "standards" for what's acceptable to show to kids and said "standards" are unfortunately infecting older properties like Dragon Ball, just look what happened to Kai.

Don't let the modern nintendo fan know that nintendo has always told the western market to fuck off. Why anyone would willing support them is beyond me. I can see why people shit on sony (lol, no gaems) and microshit for obvious reasons but it blows my mind for them to suddenly turn around and start sucking nintendo dick. The hypocrisy is grating sometimes.

I suggest you look up the history of Evangelion's broadcast. The episodes where Eva 01 eats an Angel and Misato's fucking Kaji off screen sent Japan into a frenzy and demanded the show be pulled from air or moved to a late night slot (it was moved from the afternoon to prime time).

No one gave two shits about Geist and Angel Cop. No really, not only are they OAVs (and thus allowed not to comply with TV standards for violence and can get away with anything they want to almost), both were majorly unpopular in Japan. Japan's wikipedia didn't have an entry for Angel Cop for the longest time, and Geist's popularity came from its American release by Central Park Media, who eventually bought the rights to the show (as in, they owned it lock stock and barrel with Koichi Ohata's permission) and even funded creating the sequel, as no one in Japan cared for it .

Whoa there Oscar Wilde, gimme tl;dr will ya?

>too lazy to read 2 small paragraphs
tl;dr: kikes gonna kike even when it comes to moving rice paddy drawings.

Nintendo's always wanted western money, in fact it was Nintendo who kissed the government's ass in the Mortal Kombat hearings, playing the teacher's pet acting like they would never release violent software on their systems. But don't tell Nintencucks that.

whoa there nigger >>>/ovens/ for being illiterate.

That's not what I said.

No one in Japan gives a flying fuck about MD Geist and Angel Cop.

Evangelion was ridiculously popular.

You faggots won't ever do anything other than bitch and shill the Japanese language, So N.

They just want money. They know that if they removed Sega from the picture early on then they would have a monopoly or at least be the "stronger" of the two systems by the end of this. Nintendo has always been kike tier, i'm just shocked that the fans would rather be blind about this than actually own up to it and reassess their "loyalty".

...

...

Shigeru Miyamoto is the cool crazy uncle that totally gets you and Reggie is the sad sack whose biological material you got stuck with.

Nah, an unhinged Reggie where he knows he doesn't have to play PR is a pretty cool dude. Miyamoto tends to drop his spaghetti if shit gets too wild. I would rather go to a party with Reggie but I would rather talk vidya with Miyamoto.
But if given the chance I would rather talk to Kojimbo about vidya mechanics over movie bullshit and his spiraling depression.

Kind of like how a guy might agree with his mugger that he should give the mugger his wallet, especially when he's held at gunpoint.

There are still people who are surprised at what nintendo does…

Money talks and that's why if somebody wants to be treated like an adult they should jump ship.

Well…
The difficulty in many games for the western market are easier than their Japanese counterparts

...

That's why Nintendo removed all the swords from Zelda right?

That just screams of >we didn't want to make more resources for our game so we're gonna be lazy and use what we have.

Why the fuck would you talk to a movie director about ins and outs of video games.

This actually reminds of my childhood. No plastic swords! Too violent!

The toy gun that my dad gave me?
Too violent. Goes directly to the trash as soon as the cunt sees it.

Are there any men still working there?

Because the guy actually did make vidya before metal gear solid. You could tell after 2 he just stopped giving a shit. I would love to talk to him and pick apart a brain like that.

Reminder that these problems are because of NoA and not because of Nintendo in general. Nintendo of Japan still has some problems, but overall still puts out some really good games. Nintendo Switch will be fine, but only in Japan, so why aren't you learning Japanese user?

The only people who are truly responsible for shit games coming out of NoJ are Shigeru Miyamoto (Sticker Star, Color Splash) and Yoshio Sakamoto (Metroid: Other M)

Masahiro Sakurai did nothing wrong. Fuck meleefags.

He stopped giving a shit after 2 since he essentially had to censor the fuck out of it after the WTC bullshit.

That was mostly Tanabe's fault. Shigeru told him not to rehash.

If you're even thinking of getting the Switch, you should be importing it and playing JP games. NoA is irredeemable cancer.

So you want to learn to make VNs?

Has Sakurai made one bad game in his entire life?

As far as I know, he didn't.

So what do you have against the guy? Do you just not like metal gear games?

It was the only way to really get people back into gaming. Remember that there were so many shit consoles and games before the NES that the market took a goddamn nosedive.

Brawl

Agreed.

But to be fair, if nintendo wasn't going to fill that casualfag void it would have been Sega or god forbid Hasbro.

Nintendo of Europe is still somewhat fine, they don't have memes and shit translations, even if they have to deal with "localizations" when it's hard coded in the game, like the removed features in FE:Fates and Xenoblade X.

If you liked to eat shit or were a eurocuck sure, otherwise, no.

Now now, no need to project like that user.
Besides, all the cool kids would just import a eurocuck pc to play vidya.

YES
DO I! JUST FUCKING DO IT!

While I'm pretty sure this is a monkey's paw, I'm curious to see how bad things will go, so Y.

...

Nintendo is for Pokemon, man children and nostalgia fags.

Fixed that.

Uhm you're aware that most of Europe plays their games in English?

If the ZeeEcks doesn't get your tip just a little bit wet then you might be a queer.

Why did that statement get you so upset user? Even if nintendo didn't jump for the casualfag audience in the mid 80s someone else would have. I'm not saying nintendo is the best alternative but it's a hell of a lot better than if Hasbro actually took the initiative and tried to take that market early. Either way, PC vidya was chugging along fine with or without the casual audience.

Do it faggot

Confirmed for using words you don't know.

Said the eurocuck

Y goddammit

Instead of latching on to word meanings as the basis of your argument, how about you explain to me why you think video games were floundering until the casuals took over when the PC had plenty of vidya? Personally, it seems that you are just upset that some people realize that video games were fine during the "video game crash".

...

Here's a plan since you're being a retarded piece of shit:
DO NOT buy these games. At all.
DO NOT support the companies that take these actions. At all.
DO call out, mock, ridicule, and belittle every piece of shit who DOES support these practices, because yes, they are less than human.
And, if you're going to be a pussy, at the very least DO NOT act like a faggot and start spouting industry apologist memes when someone does get called out.

Nope this is Bamco's doing. The reason is that APPARENTLY localizers get certain money for changes. So if you only make one change in a localization [I.E. the text] you'll get the money for that. you'll get paid for doing the text.

But lets say you want a shiny new car.
SUddenly you can "localize" a lot of things.
Swords, guns, little things.
But it adds up. That's why the localization team censored the swords. for money.

But user, that's console warring. :^)

Rabbit vibrator?

How many games has Future Trunk's sword been removed from?

Someone tell Bamco and Nintendo to kill themselves.

Y
It is most likely nothing but I want to believe

Why ask questions you already know the answer to? Skip the melodrama and get to the point m8.

Now that comic is just silly. What about external hard drives? Kind of like a boob job.

This is probably a marketing move or something to get people to talk about this game.
If they didn't do this, no one would be talking about this and they will probably patch it later.

Tell me when this has ever happened, ever.

Assuming Nintendo really did have a hand in this. It doesn't make any sense why they would change that.

Why doesn't Zelda have all it's swords replaced with different kind of sticks? In fact why stop there? Why don't they remove magic because that's clearly devil worship, or just make the game about running around cooking fruits and veggies because killing is wrong.

because going out of your way to censor other games to make your stuff look better in comparison wouldn't work otherwise.

Never heard of first time?
Just think about it, its another game about an anime with hundreds of them, they need a way to make people talk about it and it's working.
Otherwise it wouldn't make sense, why would they ever censor swords in a videogame?
Especially when an iconic character wields one in a console where the manufactorer makes video games about sword wielding characters.

Here's something to think about. Dragon Quest games released on Nintendo systems in the west don't have the T being a sword in the game's title, whereas western DQ releases on non Nintendo systems do.

This is what gets me. E-rated Zelda games have no issues with swordplay. Hell, even Kirby can use a sword.

Yet there are two other swords on the cover left intact.

So you were never planning on writing it, eh? Cause there aren't even 105979 people on this website.

in September 2016 we had 7,259,981 Total unique users, was probably much more during the election.

I fucking doubt we has 7 million users

So if I was on Holla Forums today I would be a different UID the next day or if I reset my router

You forgot: you aren't the target audience.
How has that been working for 37 years (1979 Game&Watch)? For a company, that's huge success: no bankruptcy for nearly half a decade.

There's no bombing, the the same tatic used by monopolies to destroy smaller firms.

My opinion, without "patch it later".

Absolutely, but there's not even 64% respondents willing on this thread to do anything. If there's no demand, what's the point?

In September this game had sold 7,002 copies: kanzenshuu.com/2016/09/14/dragon-ball-fusions-3ds-japanese-6th-week-sales-figures/
4516 UID would have needed to say "no more censorship" in threads.

Agreed, there's inflation in those numbers. Maybe they mean UIP visiting, many of which are robots.

nice bait

What bait?

Reading IDs to responses, you are assuming 7,259,981 UU are >>>Holla Forums, which is a mistake in your part, and at worst assuming most of Holla Forums agrees "censorship cannot be tolerated." As we can see with , not everyone agrees with you.

We can agree that you're a retarded, larping piece of shit.

ID checked
what are the odds?

I am actually confused. But ok.
Call back when you actually have a demand that yields profit, 'cause NoA & BNEnt don't particularly care about your minuscule "interest".

In theory arale is stronger than goku. And isn't one of the requirments for the fusion dance similar heights?

I don't particularly think anyone's interested in worthless tor shitposting.

Are you 5 years old or do you just not know anything about Nintendo's history?

Ex-Fusion is some shit Bulman invented that bipasses the Fusion requierments. That is what the band in their arms do.

Sony and Microsoft are gods compared to Nintendo. Nintendo are still operating like it's the 1990s. Still treating their consumer base like children. Treating 3rd parties like shit and still expecting them to make games for them. Giving us happy meal toys and gimmicks instead of actual games. They suck!

Fine by you. I only use TOR since I cannot trust N.T. Technologies Inc.. Daily reminder there's still no I2P gateway.

this.

They pretty much stopped during the N64, GC, and Wii era. Removing swords is a new level of fuckery.

Nope, this is Bamco's doing. They're fucking with Berseria as well.

All of my friends who've gotten married and started families are miserable. My parents divorced when I was little. Their parents divorced

I don't understand why people do this shit to themselves. Just get a fwb/cuddle buddy for the brief pangs of loneliness, then get on with spending your time on stuff you actually enjoy
