A Survey of Nintendo's Game Censorship Policies

Posted by Zonk on from the who-is-staatsmeister? dept.

ccnull writes "Found a page which offers a survey of Nintendo's policies on censorship, paying particular attention to how U.S. games differ from their Japanese counterparts. It's not just blood splatters, the author has interesting comparative screen grabs showing "clothed" statues and de-Nazified Hitlers."

    There was a treasure in Pikmin 2 worth 666 Pokos in the Japanese version and changed to 670 in the US. What's far worse is that all new games (only in the US) now have a 5 second health warning EVERY TIME you start them because of that stupid lawsuit earlier this year.

    I like realistic games, and medkits without red crosses make no sense.

    With or without crosses - does a medkit instantly giving you 25 healthpoints seem realistic? Or Hitler running around in a mech suit?
