What are some embarrassing examples of censorship in gaming?
Americans already know what mexico looks like. Coral reefs are more "exotic" and fits the odyssey theme better.
Also fuck mexico.
...
Fpbp
Kek
Americans are surrounded by food 24/7, but that wasn't changed.
This isn't censorship, it's a design choice for the art. I know what mexico looks like, I live in the south.
There are coral reefs in mexico you dumbass
Does it even matter?
Its not like they took the Mexico part out of the game at all
Which is the altered one?
Did they add the Sombrero-Mario to make it more accessible to the American audience?
Or did they remove it because it's racist?
It's all about the editor trying to prove his right to exist.
>pacman on the right ab
They didn't change it, thank fuck too
It was always a placeholder screenshot they used because the underwater kingdom hadn't been revealed yet. Just look at how blurry the sombrero Mario is.
>HURRRRRR MUH SENSORSHIP
>HURRRRRRR THEY RE CAVING TO MUH SJWS WTF
>THEY REMOVED A TINY JPG OF A MEXICAN COSTUME FROM THE COVER (THOUGH THEY LEFT THE WHOLE COSTUME, UNALTERED, IN THE GAME)
You people even knowing how to breathe is an anomaly to me.
Fuck you nigger, keep your ghetto culture out of ours.
Step aside, OP.
Good, that's even better. But even if they did, who cares? It's not censorship, the world still exists and Mario gets to be a burrito.
You don't know anything about Hispanics or natives so you talk about tacos and burritos.
I'm not offended but it's just ignorant.
what's the first game that doesn't have a western version?
It looks way better now. The mexican picture looked blurry and didn't add much color
So ghen how do you know the coral reef picture isnt mexico. Calm your burritos wetbacks.
I dont see a problem with anything but the top pic, and even then its just a pic you can look up, as you just did
>wetbacks
...
the whole picture is blurry since it's not the finished product
they purposedly decided to remove an image of a game event just because it might be considered bad taste to have Mario using a sombrero
what kind of badger is that?
>they changed it for practically the same reason everyone (online) loved it
Ouch.
Nah, this is what it looked like when it was first revealed. Mario is out of focus.
What kind of reasoning do they even come up with for censoring Swimsuits?
Do you need to be over 18 years old to be allowed to enter a swimming pool in America?
2nd largest coral reef in the world.
I think Australia's is a little bit bigger, but considering it's on the other side of the planet this is good too.
It looks like a distant cousin of Yoshi, which I guess makes sense
...
Underage + media + skimpy outfits + America = criminal record
With those button eyes it looked like a plushie.
Who is frightened of teddy bears?
...
>What kind of reasoning do they even come up with for censoring Swimsuits?
There is no plausible excuse, especially since Fatal Frame was rated "M". NoA must hate fans of these games or just women in general.
wait, my right or stage right?
why the fuck was this removed?
>Underage + delicious swimsuit = Ban from Merica
Mericans have terrible ages of consent, it should be lower
better color blocking desu
easier to "translate" this way.
It personally bothers me on principle that had to do it at all. It's just fucking white people getting offended on behalf of Mexicans who weren't offended and more than happy to see Mario in a sombrero.
Plus personally I like the visual of Mario in a sombrero and liked that it was in the cover. Was very eye catching, as small as it was on the cover.
Same people who removed vagina bones from #FE
When they say "We need to edit this out" then they get increased budget for that extra work so they find as much stuff to censor as possible to inflate their budget.
How can pixels be underage?
Does that mean Call of Duty is muder?
>possibly to prevent children from being frightened
Retarded speculation, they changed it because the original looks awful and doesn't fit the artstyle. Even the most pussy of kids wouldn't be scared of something so hilariously kawaii
In some US states, underage uguu 1000 year old demon loli pixels are considered exactly equal to actual child porn.
The thinking is supposedly that you'd get hopped up on loli porn and go out and molest real children, I guess.
>if I webcam a naked 10 year old it's okay because monitors are just pixels
Then we should ban call of duty since people get hopped up on murder and go out and kill people.
Depictions of Murder is not illegal, Depictions of Underage girls in a sexual light is borderline in america
get your shit together
They want to, badly. That was like, the late nineties/early 2000s. The only reason they haven't is because CoD has more normie support.
Why are depictions of murder legal?
That's beyond fucked up.
What if people murder?
Well, it all goes back to the US Military being very well respected by its citizens. Not to say that Violence is respected in the US, but we kinda grew up with it so its not really taboo.
We didnt grow up fucking kids tho, unfortunately
Okay fine. Murder is okay.
What about depictions of theft?
Nobody thinks theft is okay.
What about depictions of lies and falsehoods?
What about depictions of disobedience?
What about depictions of communism?
People are still on about this?
It's hardly a case of censorship, it's a cover art design Change that's meant to augment the aesthetic. Basically from the new cover, you can see Mario doing a variety of things from exploring dinoland with safari gear, being a cook in food land and dealing with pot flinging koopas, being a Goomba(the literal first Mario enemy ever seen) and now him swimming underwater. All of it is apart of his journey. His odessy
Alternatively, he's just standing there with a sombrero. It's not showing off an action, hardly displays the level, it's nothing.
>Mexicans detract from aesthetic
That's racist user
Why is the one on the left lower res and taken directly from a trailer?
the idiots here are dumb enough to think this is real
>I'm okay with it so other Mexicans aren't throwing colossal shitfits over it
>Mario wears hats
>game is about wearing hats
>game has an entire core mechanic based around wearing different hats
>Mario wears a certain style of hat
>people get mad
wew
>fun and quirky interaction
>dull and cliche dialog
I'm glad they changed it.
>interaction
shit bait
FE switch is doomed.

Ellie > maiko > Tsubasa
Now we just need to complain about the Pith helmet Mario is wearing in the upper left is symbolic of slavery or some shit and get them to pull the game's cover again.
