    Not really. Have violence without blood and they'll rate it teen. Anything close to nudity instant mature rating. Same with searing. Can gun down hundreds if no blood but if they use naughty language while doing it mature /:

      Entirely unwise to buy anything non-Nintendo on the Nintendo Store as if the Switch’s entire purpose wasn’t to just get people to buy a $500 appliance to play a Nintendo game.

        Back when bash.org was around:
        Person 1: Person 2 has so little game he could fall into a barrel of nipples and come out sucking his thumb.
        Person 2: The concept of a barrel of nipples confuses and frightens me.

            Havent you heard? Violence appropriate, sex and nudity not. Its totally okay to see people being dismembered, but you better never show a nipple.

            Yeah, also if we argue that violent videogames don't cause violence - what's the problem with sexual content? If they're censoring sexual stuff because they believe videogames if corrupt and change behaviour, the violent ones should definitely be banned.

            Also - I'm using Google's Android keyboard and just realised the dictionary didn't know the word 'sexual'. Just in case someone might try to write something spicy. FFS. It knew 'violent' though.

              You must not have grown up back then. The game does show her in bra and panties if you're fast enough. The rumor was that she was full on naked tho if you were even faster than the bikini easter egg. But that was some bullshit, and you couldn't just look at a wiki to know this, you had to find out for yourself.

              There were other similar rumors back in the day for all sorts of games. "Nudalities" in Mortal Kombat. The ability to actuslly obtain the Triforce in Ocarina of Time. Getting to play as Luigi if you collected 121 stars in Mario 64 (later was actually made real in the DS release, but you unlocked Yoshi not Luigi). Etc.

              You've contradicted yourself, though. Do you see it? I'll give you a moment, and I'll put it in a spoiler. If you are as old as me or maybe older, and you've been a gamer about as long as I have (maybe longer, maybe nearly as long), you might appreciate a good puzzle. Try to find the logical fallacy.

              ::: spoiler spoiler
              How would I know what rumours about games you heard in your hometown if we didn't have a wiki or something like that? But you're right, because I've been gaming since the early 1980s. We had our friends, and we had magazines like Nintendo Power. One rumour I did hear was that there was a hidden chocolate factory in Super Mario Bros. (the first one). Note that this rumour was going around before Super Mario World introduced Choco Island or whatever it was called, so either it's coincidence, or the rumour made it back to Nintendo. As a kid I thought it was like a whole other game on the cartridge, different graphics and enemies and such. Later in life I figured it was just a palette swap.
              :::

              Furthermore,

              ::: spoiler spoiler
              I remember one game where I didn't have help from people at school because no one really had computers back then. I was playing a game called Zak McKracken on the Amiga, and my father and his best friend were also playing it. We had a rule, no one would watch the others playing, but we would share tips. It was a point and click adventure, kind of like our generation's Life is Strange or The Walking Dead (Telltale). So you had to figure stuff out. And I even solved a couple of the puzzles and had to help the adults get through that part (or they let me believe I cracked the code for them).
              :::

              Two more things, outside the logical fallacy thing. There WAS nudity in an Atari game (Custer's Revenge was the name, IIRC) so it wasn't exactly unprecedented. And two... you don't get the Triforce in Ocarina of Time? I never completed it. I did not like the Nintendo 64. I bought it, didn't like it, gave it to my brother, and bought a PlayStation. I started Ocarina a few times. On the N64. On the 3DS (my wife's). On the Switch via Virtual Console. I even have it on my MacBook (Ship of Harkian). That save is still in the first dungeon (the deku tree). I suck at Ocarina (and 3D Zelda in general). Love the 2D ones, though.

                  Dispatch's release on Nintendo platforms today was poised to be another testament to AdHoc's tremendous success with the point-and-click superhero workplace comedy, but news of a platform-specific difference has overshadowed much of the excitement for fans hoping to play the episodic series on-the-go. Instead of celebrating the release, fans are launching campaigns against Dispatch's censorship, returning their purchases, or refraining from playing it altogether.

                  Normally, Dispatch contains nudity and sexually explicit scenes involving its gang of ex-villains. AdHoc allows players to toggle sexual content like this off on most platforms. Curiously, however, the newly-released Switch version automatically depicts censored versions of these scenes. There's no option to turn the setting off.

                  AdHoc confirmed the censorship to Eurogamer, but noted that the overall experience would still be the same for Switch players.


                  Mind you, Nintendo is cool with putting Doom and Duke Nukem on the Switch.

                      To be fair, there would be a loooot of nipples on Twitch otherwise. It’d be nipple sea.

                      Still stupid, though.

                        If they think you're doing anything they don't like, they can remote block you from Nintendo networks. Which I'm fine with, but it prevents you from being able to reset the device or play local games.

                        So anything you bought is now useless and unplayable, they got your money, so fuck you.

                              In fairness I have experienced the temptation to buy a Switch 2 simply for Mario Kart World. The game looks like a masterpiece that you can't get anywhere else. The only limiting factor was Nintendo's management of the game and how they force people to play intermissions. (And 500 dollars holy shit). But then Sonic Racing Crossworlds released and it was good enough for me.

                              That's why in my original comment I said non-exclusive games because if we purely looked at the games, a lot of the exclusive games are bangers so I understand why people still buy from Nintendo.

                                      Even in the argument that you only bought a license to the game (not the game itself); why are they not required to refund the license they took from you? The deal is broken, give the money back.

                                        Exactly. If they want to block their network, fine, but to not allow you to play physical games you bought, fuck that. I'll never give Nintendo another dollar. I have a steam deck and hacked switch, fuck them. And I share all their rooms on soulseek, including switch roms.

                                          The amount of waifu and furry porn games in the Switch store is higher than you’d think. Why censor Dispatch?
