    I'm still really curious as to if LA Noire on Switch will edit that game.

    Cause there's just dead naked ladies in that, and Nintendo's fearful for children's purity.

    When was the last time Nintendo stopped a game being released on their platform for content reasons? Has it actually happened since the SNES?

    Depends on what you mean.

    Because plenty of people still made games for their systems without their approval.

    It's what led them down the road of supreme copy protection and proprietary storage.

    I guess I'm approaching it from a viewpoint of Nintendo altering Tokyo Mirage Sessions for its American release, though there's a big difference between removing the sexualization of teenagers and editing Nazi imagery, cutting open demons from Hell, and adult nudity.


    On that same track: I'd take a Xenoblade 2 delay if it meant Nintendo forced Pyra's design to not be awful.

    There's a very specific thing with Nintendo's North American localization policies and near-nudity of teenage (or younger) characters. I remember the "hubbub" when they modified some of the outfits for Bravely Default for similar reasons.

    That and aged up the cast, too. Same with Lin in Xenoblade X.

    Stop sexualizing teenagers, devs.

    Wasn't the GameCube version of BMXXX uncensored while the PS2 version was?

    I don't think Nintendo has specifically censored games since like 2000, other than stuff that borders on/is illegal (like the aforementioned naked children)

    Sweet deal

    Put GTAV on Switch and let it sell even more copies

    Three million more copies sold and it'll beat Wii Sports to become the third highest selling game of all time, behind Tetris and Minecraft

    I'll rebuy GTAV on the Switch. I have it on the PS4 but it's one of those games I just haven't had a chance to sit down and play through. I'll plop in front of the system fully intending on playing some grand AAA title, and then end up playing with my Lego people instead.

    Nintendo also released Binding of Isaac as a nearly launch title, which I would say has far more controversial subject matter than a dead naked person.

    I wonder if GTA would get local multi modes /lan on switch? That would be neat.

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    And now I'm reminded how the ages and time frame for backstory given in that game means that a large portion of the cast would have had to have been child soldiers and the game never mentions it.

    The time frame in that game is ridiculous and I try not to think about it.

    Given how much they make off in-game currency, I'd be really surprised if it didn't. My son was showing me the pricing of some of the stuff and it was like $20 in real money just to get a cheap airplane and a hanger to store it.

    Also there's a massive difference between Nintendo modifying a Nintendo game and Nintendo letting someone release a game on their platform.

    And don't forget, Nintendo let Conker's Bad Fur Day happen

    They have made nearly a billion dollars just on the digital currency from GTA Online

    Those are on different axes for me. I don't really think the added work of porting an ancient game like LA Noire to Switch really justifies a price hike of that size compared to existing releases(and maybe it won't! We don't know the price yet). There's a Nintendo Premium in existence since time immemorial, and while it's cool for them that they can get away with it I don't have a problem weighing that up in my decision making.

    From what I understand the biggest driver for the price hikes is the cartridge.

    It's why there's often a 10 dollar gap between digital and physical on switch.

    Wasn't too long ago where they sneakily upped the base price on Steam for the sale just so there'd be a bigger "discount" percentage showing while the price remained about the same.

    Yes, at launch. I paid 406 DKK for a physical copy of Splatoon 2 at launch and it is 479 DKK on the eShop. Actually, I paid less than that because of the store's points program.

    I don't really know what the pricing is like in America, but I would be surprised if there aren't any deals at all.
