>Sadly, Hamtaro will not be in the North American release of the game.

Who cares?

I don't even know what game is this or anything but by the looks of it the company that owns Hamtaro doesn't want it to appear in NA for whatever reason, so this isn't censorship, just Japan being a dick about their characters.

could you fuck the hamster or something how is this censorship?

Way to say fuck you to my nostalgia.

That's not censorship. Its a copyright issue. Since Japan was stupid and let tons of middle man companies take over the rights of their shows in the west, they need to get the permission of some shitty company like Viz or 4kids to use Hamtaro in a game. And pay them royalties. They're not gonna pay $1 million in royalties for a game that won't even sell 200,000 copies in the west.

Woah hold up b

Why is Hamtaro in this game?

>rights problem
>"censorship"

no hamtaro no buy. first day pirate

the better question is why isnt hamtaro in EVERY game

>censorship
>couldn't get the rights
love this meme

Can a little hamster really have big adventures?
It seems pretty improbable.

>Harvest Moon without Hamtaro
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand another series ruined by sjw censorship

Listen man if you can't suspend your belief enough so that a hamster can enjoy big adventures then maybe you need to get out of here and go out in the real world and so something gross like impregnate a woman or some shit

Jump Super Stars didn't come to the US because of censorship!

>can't have a giant hamster help me in my farm while I try to bang the delicious brown twins
Why even live?

>Actually take a minute to read the post
>the real reason is because there's no Hamtaro merch in the west
That's bullshit

Buyfags, you know what to do.

There are seriously people who'd think that.

What?

>no hamtaro

False flagging or ironic shit isn't going to help solve the censorship issue.

Or you are so stupid you think any changes whatsoever (including obviously license based issues like this) are censorship.

>but I will say that you’ll be hard-pressed to find new, official Hamtaro merchandise on sale in this part of the world. While many remember the character from his TV debut over a decade ago, Hamtaro doesn’t really have an official presence in North America anymore.
Sounds like the company that owns hamtaro just... abandoned north america entirely for some reason.

Gotta get back into these games, never gave Story of Seasons a good shake. Shipping stuff seemed weird, having to manually go sell shit on different days.

Licensing issues are not censorship. This also happened with Corpse Party.

An example of XSeed censorship would be them removing the ages from being mentioned in Senran Kagura games.

Please stop making falseflag shitposts as a means of making people upset by video game censorship look bad. Thank you.

>An example of XSeed censorship would be them removing the ages from being mentioned in Senran Kagura games.
I remember XSeed's handling of that being interesting because they disagreed with it so much internally that the people against it would only move forward on the project if they were allowed to publicly speak about how they disagreed with the censorship.

They really don't need shitposts like this one to make them look bad, they do it all on their own.

If you truly believe this then let them do it on their own rather than making falseflag shitposts.
There's something to be gained from being a genuine person.

When are they hacking the VC SNES emulator so it can support bigger roms?

I want to play FE Genealogy with the translation patch

Did I say I was the OP?

No

Hamtaro was the only reason I had to buy this after years of being dissapointed by Bokujou Monogatari, guess I'll ignore it
