Uh, guys? Okami Den isn't a "spiritual successor" to Okami, it's a straight up sequel. You play as Amaterasu's son, helping Susano and Kushi's adopted son, and most of the events are directly tied to the original. And the changing of the Death Beast's name probably doesn't have anything to do with religious references, since they talk about gods and goddesses pretty frequently in both games.
"A mother's claim that the DS was indoctrinating her children into Islam" is already an absurdly funny sentence, but when followed up with "The mother purchased Baby Pals on the DS", it becomes hilarious.

About Harvest Moon DS in Europe. Due to the casino games removed it was virtually impossible to reach the "end game".

Fun fact about the Pokemon Slot Machines In the Australian version, the slot machines were included in DPP, but changed to the Voltorb Flip in the HG/SS version
That wasn't censorship, it was adaptation. It wasn't changed based on being offensive or inappropriate, it was done to justify the removal of a massive number of Japanese cultural references that would have made the game unappealing to mainstream US gamers.
I'm just glad to see people still talking about the DS. Only true OG gamers know the experience of playing their DS at night at minimal volume so as not to wake anyone up.

Hey DYKG. I was just watching Umbrella Academy, S2 Ep.3, and at the 43:11 mark towards the end, a song plays that is undoubtedly influenced by The Song Of Storms, the notes are obvious.

Mind Quiz: Your Brain Coach can still be purchased in the UK (for example, at CeX [say it as either "sex" "see-x" or "sea-e-x"]), although I'm not sure if they do warn you about the offensive line in the game. Similar to Mario Party 8, as some PAL copies still contain the original line, but most PAL versions are the updated one. (Another way to tell if you have an original copy is the "Borders" in the game while playing any board map).
Hope some day this stupid censorship ends and let the games be judged by gameplay, story, mechanics and not some entitled people who saw a 5 min. Gameplay
It’s ironic that just several years ago game companies went great lengths to keep anything that remotely resembles gambling out of certain games. Now we have games like 2K and FIFA that are just slot machines with a game featured on it.
Really the censorship people think that we are stupid as hell, like this is what they think would happen Kid who know gambling is bad: oh look a casino, now I’m gonna gamble in like 8 years because I can’t go because I can’t do much Censors:hey What actually happens Kid who know gambling is bad: oh cool a casino...
gen 4 pokémon has even more cenorship mainly because of shitty to pointless localisation. like in the sinnoh library. in the japanese version, there's a book that says something like "back in the day, you could marry pokémon" - removed in the western versions i hate our versions...
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor had its cover changed in the North American version. While the Japanese and Western versions are very similar, they moved Haru's arm so she shows EVER SO SLIGHTLY less side-boob. Like, it's such a minuscule change it's almost laughable.
Interesting video, but referring to these basic localization changes as "censorship" isn't terrible accurate. It's important not to conflate an outside body imposing changes on something with changes being made internally to match the region a media is released in.
I mean, it's in the terms of their sponsorship that they have to say certain things for a given amount of time or they don't get paid. And these videos don't make themselves.
Interestingly in the U.K. Sonic Rush Adventure got rated 12+ by PEGI just because it contained the word “bugger” which is considered an offensive word over here. It ended up being released in that form. Eventually it did get censored in later versions and as a result the rated went down to 3+.

Me: ...I *MOSTLY* love that game!
Now I want the Japanese version 😂 for collection purposes “cough”
Kemuel Perez Suuuuuuure... for COLLECTION REASONS...
how the fuck can a corporation take someone to court because an ingame character has the same name as their corp when their corp is named after an actual personified name?
That Monkey Ball trivia at the end sent me over the *edge* with how funny it was.
I almosy got in trouble for that
hey if you want to skip the ad really quickly, go to 1:41
Fun fact about the Pokemon Slot Machines
In the Australian version, the slot machines were included in DPP, but changed to the Voltorb Flip in the HG/SS version
How does one make a video about DS censorship and not mention the infamous “Japanafornia” censorship of Ace Attorney?
That wasn't censorship, it was adaptation. It wasn't changed based on being offensive or inappropriate, it was done to justify the removal of a massive number of Japanese cultural references that would have made the game unappealing to mainstream US gamers.
Apollo: *hilds up sushi*
Wright: "Eat your hamburger."
cause thats not censeorship, its localization
@@OtakuUnitedStudio agreed, its like when the rice balls in the pokemon anime were called doughnuts.
@@GabePuratekuta Traditional American kotatsu.
Wait, how can a country have laws about things that happen outside of it? It's crazy.
This is the first sponsorship that I'm actually tempted to try out
Man, this compilation reminds me how much humanity can be a toxic piece of shit at times.
I had that exact Baby Pals game as a kid, I also remember the news report. The mid 2000s was a weird time...
It’s not a “spiritual successor” if it’s literally an in-name sequel
Chibiterasu is the son of the goddess Amaterasu.
Didn't expect to see that WarioWare has some censorship!
The video *actually* starts here: 1:40
Great because I was expecting it to say “Islam is the light” it was all I could hear 🤣
Pareidolia will do that
Two DS videos in a row? That's right up my alley.
"The Pegi rating board is more strict to references of gambling when rating a game."
Looks at NBA 2K20: Oh yeah, definitely true.
Imagine being so offended by a word that wasn't directed to you that you almost fell off the chair
I would love to play that special edition of Monkey Ball lol. The phrase "funky like a monkey" definitely applies to it XD.
I'm just glad to see people still talking about the DS. Only true OG gamers know the experience of playing their DS at night at minimal volume so as not to wake anyone up.
"Godly": No, Christians will get offended
"Death": Yeah, kids'll love that
Also can I just say how beautiful it is that someone had the word "REE" in that Scrabble footage
Hey DYKG.
I was just watching Umbrella Academy, S2 Ep.3, and at the 43:11 mark towards the end, a song plays that is undoubtedly influenced by The Song Of Storms, the notes are obvious. I thought you'd like to know for your Easter Eggs and References videos. One more thing also, I could be wrong, but at the 12:31 mark it sounds like Kokiri Forest theme as well.
These censorship videos always kinda makes me frustrated
I saw Dazz record the last part Live on Twitch! It was super cool! XD
btw, DYKG Has a Twitch channel. Please come and watch them stream games every weekday! Good times are had!
Mind Quiz: Your Brain Coach can still be purchased in the UK (for example, at CeX [say it as either "sex" "see-x" or "sea-e-x"]), although I'm not sure if they do warn you about the offensive line in the game.
Similar to Mario Party 8, as some PAL copies still contain the original line, but most PAL versions are the updated one. (Another way to tell if you have an original copy is the "Borders" in the game while playing any board map).
The video officially begins at 1:40 - You're welcome :)
Gun in warioware: 🖐😒
Mass murder in gta: 👈😀
weird that a game like Okami Den, a game all about japanese gods and deities, had to censor such a thing yet the original didnt have to.
Wario says: "Age is just a number with Wario Ware Touched! WaaHaaHaaa!"
Hope some day this stupid censorship ends and let the games be judged by gameplay, story, mechanics and not some entitled people who saw a 5 min. Gameplay
*KAREN AND DAREN*
3:51 I'm really glad this was changed, I used to spend hours on Voltorb flip
It’s ironic that just several years ago game companies went great lengths to keep anything that remotely resembles gambling out of certain games.
Now we have games like 2K and FIFA that are just slot machines with a game featured on it.
Really the censorship people think that we are stupid as hell, like this is what they think would happen
Kid who know gambling is bad: oh look a casino, now I’m gonna gamble in like 8 years because I can’t go because I can’t do much
Censors:hey
What actually happens
Kid who know gambling is bad: oh cool a casino...
gen 4 pokémon has even more cenorship
mainly because of shitty to pointless localisation. like in the sinnoh library. in the japanese version, there's a book that says something like "back in the day, you could marry pokémon" - removed in the western versions
i hate our versions...
In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, there's now a clothing store where the Game Corner was.
Did you know, Warioware Touched was originally called WarioWare Bad Touch
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor had its cover changed in the North American version. While the Japanese and Western versions are very similar, they moved Haru's arm so she shows EVER SO SLIGHTLY less side-boob. Like, it's such a minuscule change it's almost laughable.
OF COURSE "Lesbo" is available in both modes, only a person made of glass would find it offensive.
Not even glass
just wet paper lmao
Interesting video, but referring to these basic localization changes as "censorship" isn't terrible accurate. It's important not to conflate an outside body imposing changes on something with changes being made internally to match the region a media is released in.
Fun fact, the Japanese name of Feel the Magic translates to "I could die for you"
so uhh yeah that also got changed
EU rating board.
Fake gambling? Dear god NO!
Loot boxes? Ah surprise mechanics. Clearly for kids.
Shill ends at 1:50
Scrubby Bubkinz lol. I mean they need to make money, but yeah sponser ads are usually annoying
Casey S sponsors already paid them
I mean, it's in the terms of their sponsorship that they have to say certain things for a given amount of time or they don't get paid. And these videos don't make themselves.
Skip over the ad. Video starts at 1:41.
Interestingly in the U.K. Sonic Rush Adventure got rated 12+ by PEGI just because it contained the word “bugger” which is considered an offensive word over here. It ended up being released in that form. Eventually it did get censored in later versions and as a result the rated went down to 3+.
