They didn’t win a single award at the TGA. It seems the West's pressure on Nintendo is working quite effectively. I wouldn’t be surprised if they announce their adoption of DEI soon.
should be noted tokyo clanpool was also cancelled in the west for the exact same reason. Nintendo is definitely going back to its former self. They will actively block certain asian games from being localized due to them being considered offensive
@@MiraiChiaki tokyo clanpool doesn't run like garbage and it was blocked. it has nothing to do with performance. the videos you saw were emulated with ryujinx, they don't actually run poorly on switch
To clear up some misconceptions; No, the Neptunia trilogy doesn't run badly on Switch, the video that's been going around is running on a Switch emulator. I've played the Japanese version of Rebirth 1 on Switch and it runs around 30fps with an unlocked framerate. The game's already out in Japan, the problem isn't the performance. Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe seem to have recently changed their regulations around game content, and they will be strict moving forward. Yeah, the eShop has a bunch of slop, games with the word hentai in the title, but this was when Nintendo wasn't strict, but now they are, and you probably won't see any more new games like that on the eShop. It really sucks but that's what they're doing, we probably can't do anything about it.
except they're still showing up on eshop, if you look at the timeline if we go with tokyo clanpool being denied, numerous AI hentai slop got released on the eshop after that got denied
Oh it's availiable in Japan? That's weird than if they games are now "not adhereing to Nintendo Guidelines" for just the English releases! ...Do the games have an option for English in the Japanese version of the game? If not than hmm...would it be possible for Idea Factory to update the Japanese versions of the game to include English versions as a workaround if possible? I read some comments that people believe the reason the games aren't coming out in English is because of performance and all I want to say is if anybody played the Japanese version of the games, is this true or is this just specualation? What a confusing situation knowing Nintendo is super lenient with ecchi games (Like Mary Skelter 2 & 1 which I own).
I call BS. I have seen literal H games on the E shop. Also there is Omega Labyrinth Life on the switch. Either Nintendo is playing favorites, or they are lying for what ever reason. Like are they pushing the blame onto Nintendo because they can't get it to run on the switch? Like we will understand if any new games can't run on switch hardware. But what I do think is they may be under an NDA. With the "switch 2" around the corner it wouldn't be out of the real of possibilities they have a "switch 2" dev kit and are developing for Nintendo's next system. And if they don't have a dev kit, maybe they are just waiting for the "switch 2" to come out.
no, it's censorship. tokyo clanpool was also denied by nintendo in the west for the same exact reason. Nintendo is going back to blocking certain games because they are "offensive"
@@GASTBF Ugg, you might be right, which sucks, but to be honest, now that the system is region free, is not so bad, minus the possible lack of translation, but it's better than have it censored.
@@GravityRavenYT i can't read japanese so in my case, i'm punished and am denied access to the game. Thankfully, tokyo clanpool is releasing on GOG and i have a PC.. so no big deal but i really like physical media
@@monkeydluffy5054How can you be so sure? How can you tell that there isn't someone behind the scenes that is purposely trying to screw over any and all Neptunians especially outside of Japan?
@@monkeydluffy5054 Maybe you should use your brain to remember in what year we are now, this is not 2018. But I am asking too much for a shonen fan to Begin with 🤣
That is annoyingly vague. The first Death end re;Quest is on the platform. Other Neptunia games are on the platform. It doesn't make sense for it to be related to the content itself. My guess is that Idea Factory/Compile Heart might be doing something internally that Nintendo doesn't agree with. That or Nintendo is about to get strict with all third-party games.
We have to let IdeaFactory know that we want Multi Language support then. Since English versions will unfortunately never again release on Nintendo Platforms from them.
If I were to guess it might because of Iris Heart in Re;Birth3. I was wondering why ReVerse was fine for Sony but then I remembered it only included Re;Brith1 content. It sucks for Switch owners, though if someone wants to play these games on a portable console more powerful than the Vita then I can confirm that all three games work just fine with the Neptastic mod on the Steam Deck.
@@ConcavePgons Yep. It allows you to change the internal resolution (including above your screen's native resolution for high quality anti-aliasing), disables FXAA (it's not needed with the ability to run the game at a higher resolution), adds anisotropic texture filtering, improves the bloom shader, increases the shadow resolution and improves the quality of the outlines. It really makes a night and day difference. Without it I probably would give up on the series as the default blurry graphics were giving me a headache. It also allows you to unlock the fps limit though unfortunately it also causes the animations to play faster.
@@jasonmartinez5116 that's not it. tokyo clanpool was also cancelled here because of the exact same reason. nintendo is going back to its former self and they will continue blocking games with fanservice
So Megadimension, Game Maker R:Evolution, Super Nep RPG, Sisters VS Sisters, and the dang SENRAN KAGURA crossover are allowed… yet the Re;Birth games aren’t? What gives? I wonder what it is specifically about the rebirth games that won’t let them be launched on there…
Ah man that sucks I played Rebirth 1, 2 and 3 on Playstation Vita in the Past but don't have it anymore and was looking forward to replaying them on the Switch, I hope that Hyperdevotion Noire Goddess Black Heart for Nintendo Switch doesn't wind up getting cancelled for North America as well.
I had a feeling this would happen as Nintendo transitioned into their next console. It’s looking like there won’t be any real haven for Japanese games on consoles anymore. And as for comments about performance, I think the language used in the email makes it clear that performance isn’t the problem. And as far as I know Death End re;Quest Code Z runs fine on Switch like Sisters vs Sisters and Gamemaker Revolution. There’s also the indie game Redneg Allstars that got rejected over “expression restrictions.” Just like with Sony a few years back, we’ll probably be getting some official confirmation of these new policies in the near future. My guess is that NoA has been given more power.
@@monkeydluffy5054 Tokyo Clanpool is also getting hit with this, and an unrelated bullet hell game "REDNEG ALLSTARS SWING-BY EDITION" was also denied for European and U.S. release by Nintendo for, according to the developer, "expression restrictions" so it is almost certainly not for any performance issues. Edit: And to clarify for Tokyo Clanpool, the publisher Eastasiasoft said "Nintendo is enforcing very strict content regulations now in the West."
God, this breaks my heart. I was really looking forward to playing these games on the Switch. There has to be another reason behind all this. I refuse to believe that Nintendo of America wouldn't allow these games to be released in the US.
Did Nintendo change their policies or something? There for a while they had the most relaxed standards compared to the other consoles. Maybe it's a Steam situation, where their standards just have 0 consistency.
From what I'm hearing it has to do with the performance, and it's worse than Megadimension too. Nintendo doesn't care about content (unless it's blatantly hentai, too violent or is real gambling), they only care about if it functions and is playable on the console
@@jasonmartinez5116 unfortunately that is not the case. The same reason was given about Tokyo Clanpool and according to what someone in the comments mentioned Nintendo of America and Europe change the regulations recently in regards to the content like this so there won't be any more like this coming to the West on Nintendo going forward.
Quite and odd situation, considering the games that exist in the e-shop, and that Neptunia games are on switch. Some are saying it's because of the poor quality of the switch ports, others especulate is the content. If it's performance issues, then I can understand, IF should polish it rather than just putting it out for the sake of it, but if it's related to the content, then the international branches of nintendo may be going back to the dreaded wii u era. Now the positive is that their consoles are region-free now, HOWEVER, we all know japanese games that don't have an international release hardly get an english translation, unless specified, so we either learn japanese, or get it in another platform that does have it. Really bad situation overall, as a consumer, I should have the right to decide what content I can buy and engage with, rather than a company telling me what's right and what's wrong.
And as a result of Nintendo's (kind of new) censorship, Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart on Switch will unlikely to be released in USA and Europe.
I can't believe this ( ; ; ) This is honestly a big complain I've always had regarding international and western branches of games companies, specially Nintendo. I was planning to buy both versions, since I already have the japanese releases. A rainy day for Nep fans 😔
While i havent played the first one, 2 and 3 both actually feature really difficult to discuss character interactions. Even though we all should like games that let you defeat those characters, most people tend to not think.
The only questionable thing that I can think of is the wallpaper image of Rom and Ram in MK2 of them covered in soap, taking a bath while licking a banana... 😅
Jesus Christ, come on Nintendo. You are supposed to be one of the good ones. There is nothing wrong with any of the Neptunia games in terms of explicit or negative content that wouldn’t work on the switch. As people have pointed out there are straight up porn games and Senran Kagura Reflections was originally a switch exclusive. This is clearly some Karen who doesn’t want a little bit of upskirt on there Christian switch because if that were to happen then o good gracious would the lord smite us for our sin or some crap.
I was really looking forward to this because I’ve always wanted to get into the Neptunia series but the Rebirth games never worked right on my computer for whatever reason. I mean the games are easy to run on a toaster so I have no idea what is going on there.
I'm really dissapointed with this news since I'm gaming mainly on Switch. And how very hypocritical of Nintendo, since their E-shop littered with so many AI slop hentai games. I'm just hoping there's Asia English version of their new games.
Contact IdeaFactory support like I have. Explain that you play on Switch and want to enjoy their games in English, and that the only way for that now would be for them to add Multi Language support for English option in their Japanese released titled.
It's not about the performance since the trilogy runs fine on Switch, the video of it running at 5fps was on an emulator. I played Rebirth 1 on Switch and it runs fine, around 30fps with an unlocked framerate.
@@monkeydluffy5054 They ain't lying. It actually runs fine. And anybody can get the Japanese version. Find other gameplay videos, that one you watched is not actually how it runs on Switch.
Truly disappointing. We hear NOTHING for months, only to find out that it's been canceled. If nintendo turns into sony and starts censoring games or just not including them, I'll just be strictly PC going forward
Im disappointed with this news. I was looking forward to these on Switch. Guess I'll just get them on Steam. One of the things I liked about the Switch was the lack of censorship and whatnot. However, I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and guess that it's a Nintendo of America/UK only issue, which is still bad of course because that's still part of a huge target audience. I have a Japanese account, and I saw Prison Princess on the eShop very recently. So at the very least, NoJ has no issue it seems. I am curious on what the guidelines in the west were though.
I can’t even express my disappointment and frustration. I wish we had more and clearer information so I know who to be properly mad at. Unfortunately it might be Nintendo. If they want to choose the path of censorship once more, I will vote with my wallet once more.
good to see that they chose to not relase on the console and lose sales instead of self censor, they deserve my respect and my money! ... Wait they are going to relase on playstation... wtf
Any death and re:quest players here want to confirm that it is indeed the "contents of the game" and not some other reason that they're not coming out on switch?
Nintedo America may be reverting back to pre switch era garbage, and the people saying it’s because of performance issues have u seen the garbage on the eshop come on man
I dont think its content because there is litteraly Hgames on switch im really to bet the messed something else up like they did with the esrb sisters vs sisters stuff
"Contents don't meet Nintendo guidelines" Sounds like a load of bullshit to me. They have plenty of games with content FAR WORSE. Then again, Nintendo has recently started to go Woke and Wokies seem to REALLY HATE them anime tiddies🤡
Stupid on Nintendo. Nudity games but no neptunia. I haven't supported Nintendo since they started targeting emulation RUclips rs. Nintendo can get bent.
I dont understand this, Nintendo eshop has so many games that dont fit the standards if this is the case. Neptunia is light compared to some of those other games. Maybe they will give us an Asian-english release or something to make up for it.
@Acidonia150reborn not sure where that info came from but he mentioned before that it's not the platform holder's decision to decide what's good for the console, it's the ratings board.
@@YaoiKillerProduction He rejected xenoblade on wii which was fully english dubed and its why the sequels have british voices that was nothing to do ratings board.
This is disheartening. Looks like I'll be pulling support for Nintendo and migrating to PC. Sony lost me a few years ago, and now Nintendo are starting to show their true colours.
But megadimension neptunia v2 exists. And death end request 1 and 2. And the fairy fencer games.......and neir automata..............and mugen souls/ souls z................................and resonance refrain...and probably a bunch more I don't remember. Ah, yes. Omega labyrinth life and the azure night games and that pirate h game and probably much more. Mary skelter series.......ok I gotta stop or I'll just keep going lol. Do all the xenoblade games count cuz of all the babes and how they dress/can be dressed?
Nintendo can take their guidlines and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. This BS needs to stop. Reason the gaming industry is getting closer to another crash.
I'll wait for an Xbox (One or Series X) or Switch 2 port. I wasn't planning on even importing the JP Switch version, anyway, considering the framerate issues others pointed out in the comment section here.
Well thats unfrotunate. I wasn't planning on getting the games on the Switch anyway since I have a Steam Deck and Rog Ally. But I'm very curious as to what these "guidelines" are, since ya know...Bayonetta exists.
I've had my switch for less than a year. And in that less than a year nintendo has disgusted me to the point where i will not buy anything for my switch. I do already have some games on there though so I'll just go through those since I've already paid for them
That’s a shame. I was hoping to have a playable version of Re:Birth 2 on a current system. I own it on Steam, but I cannot get the game to run without crashing on start or shortly after start
Maybe they don't want games with Arfoire, since she is supposed to be the R4 card that hurted them so much in the DS era... Or maybe they are just salty because Lastation >>> Lowee lmao
This is false, the trilogy runs fine on Switch. The video you're talking about is running them on emulator. I played Rebirth 1 on Switch and it runs fine.
Oh come on now nintendo is cucked like sony and Microsoft. They allow hentai games, but not the neptunia trilogy? God I hate NoA and NoE so much. Well at least I can still play rebirth trilogy on my Vita or on my Steam Deck, but man I really wanted em for my switch hopefully a miracle can happen, but I wont hold my breath. Edit: Some are saying its because of performance issues and not because of risqué content. Can anyone confirm? I know Rebirth trilogy has been out in Japan for a while now but i haven't seen switch gameplay
Hold on a second. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. I heard that the Switch version of the trilogy runs extremely poorly. Maybe that's the reason?

@Code_soull_ff7r The performance isn’t an issue. It plays fine on switch. It’s a censorship thing
They didn't allow it because they didn't pay Nintendo the entry money. Another L for NintenDON'T.
Don't Tell me They say it's too Sexy
Truly disappointing. We hear NOTHING for months, only to find out that it's been canceled. If nintendo turns into sony and starts censoring games or just not including them, I'll just be strictly PC going forward
But there’s other Neptunia games on switch and so are the Mary Skelter games
It seems it has to do with how bad the games barely runs on the Switch.
Im disappointed with this news. I was looking forward to these on Switch. Guess I'll just get them on Steam. One of the things I liked about the Switch was the lack of censorship and whatnot.
However, I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and guess that it's a Nintendo of America/UK only issue, which is still bad of course because that's still part of a huge target audience.
I have a Japanese account, and I saw Prison Princess on the eShop very recently. So at the very least, NoJ has no issue it seems.
I am curious on what the guidelines in the west were though.
The plethora of hentai games on the Switch eShop must totally comply with Nintendo guidelines then!
I can’t even express my disappointment and frustration. I wish we had more and clearer information so I know who to be properly mad at. Unfortunately it might be Nintendo. If they want to choose the path of censorship once more, I will vote with my wallet once more.
This ruined 2025 for me, and I'm not even being dramatic.
What guidelines could they be? There's literally a game on the Switch called Hentai Project with AI generated art, and other porn games on the Switch.
thousents of no no games on the eshop, why cant we get neptunia?!?!?
good to see that they chose to not relase on the console and lose sales instead of self censor, they deserve my respect and my money!
...
Wait they are going to relase on playstation... wtf
Maybe this means the originals will be on Switch instead, or Switch 2.
That's because it's coming out on Switch 2!
It's a ruse.
whats strange is that the games arent particularly offensive at all, the guidelines seem to be ok with this wtf
There's no way that's true. If even Sony allows these games, Nintendo should have no problem.
Any death and re:quest players here want to confirm that it is indeed the "contents of the game" and not some other reason that they're not coming out on switch?
knew the time would come, now the Nintendo need to scrubs all those shovelware game on their eshop
i bet the problem was the licking scene on rebirth 2
Yeah that has to be why
The previous games on Switch contradict this as well as the cesspool that is the Switch online store. Yet this is where they draw the line huh?
Nintedo America may be reverting back to pre switch era garbage, and the people saying it’s because of performance issues have u seen the garbage on the eshop come on man
I dont think its content because there is litteraly Hgames on switch
im really to bet the messed something else up like they did with the esrb sisters vs sisters stuff
"Contents don't meet Nintendo guidelines"
Sounds like a load of bullshit to me. They have plenty of games with content FAR WORSE. Then again, Nintendo has recently started to go Woke and Wokies seem to REALLY HATE them anime tiddies🤡
I call bs
Unless it's a quality not a "content" problem
The trilogy is already on the Japanese eShop so I don't buy "content" being the problem

Stupid on Nintendo. Nudity games but no neptunia. I haven't supported Nintendo since they started targeting emulation RUclips rs. Nintendo can get bent.
There goes the last good console
Nintendo: is our hardware out of date and weak? No, it's the devs who utilise better and more powerful tech who are wrong.
I dont understand this, Nintendo eshop has so many games that dont fit the standards if this is the case. Neptunia is light compared to some of those other games. Maybe they will give us an Asian-english release or something to make up for it.
Giving the reigns to Bowser was a mistake. I miss Reggie.
But Reggie was the reason alot of Japanese games was sold everywhere but US.
@Acidonia150reborn not sure where that info came from but he mentioned before that it's not the platform holder's decision to decide what's good for the console, it's the ratings board.
@@YaoiKillerProduction He rejected xenoblade on wii which was fully english dubed and its why the sequels have british voices that was nothing to do ratings board.
Get them on the Vita? If they haven't been delisted already.
That is very odd, considering that there are literal hentai games on the nintendo eshop. :/
welp, time to learn japanese at this point
This is disheartening. Looks like I'll be pulling support for Nintendo and migrating to PC. Sony lost me a few years ago, and now Nintendo are starting to show their true colours.
Yeah no code z for me
yet switch have mugen z, the only uncensored version not even steam have. mhhh
Meh, no real loss to me. I play all my nep games on Steam and PS anyway.
It was nice while it lasted, but it looks like the old Nintendo is back.
But megadimension neptunia v2 exists. And death end request 1 and 2. And the fairy fencer games.......and neir automata..............and mugen souls/ souls z................................and resonance refrain...and probably a bunch more I don't remember. Ah, yes. Omega labyrinth life and the azure night games and that pirate h game and probably much more. Mary skelter series.......ok I gotta stop or I'll just keep going lol. Do all the xenoblade games count cuz of all the babes and how they dress/can be dressed?
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 Actually run Switch Docked link down
ruclips.net/video/xeixd101KtQ/видео.html
Today my faith in humanity has been shattered, I really start to consider to buy an gamer PC
Nintendo can take their guidlines and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. This BS needs to stop. Reason the gaming industry is getting closer to another crash.
I'll wait for an Xbox (One or Series X) or Switch 2 port. I wasn't planning on even importing the JP Switch version, anyway, considering the framerate issues others pointed out in the comment section here.
It's already on PC
Performance uh says the games at lower resolutions let alone performance but oh has to be Nep. What a joke.
Well thats unfrotunate. I wasn't planning on getting the games on the Switch anyway since I have a Steam Deck and Rog Ally. But I'm very curious as to what these "guidelines" are, since ya know...Bayonetta exists.
I've had my switch for less than a year.
And in that less than a year nintendo has disgusted me to the point where i will not buy anything for my switch. I do already have some games on there though so I'll just go through those since I've already paid for them
That’s a shame. I was hoping to have a playable version of Re:Birth 2 on a current system. I own it on Steam, but I cannot get the game to run without crashing on start or shortly after start
You've got to be kidding me!
Maybe they don't want games with Arfoire, since she is supposed to be the R4 card that hurted them so much in the DS era...
Or maybe they are just salty because Lastation >>> Lowee lmao
You know why, right? Plutia
Sony always wins baby
Sad thers wierd games like otko cross and pretty girls garbage, yet this is not allowed anymore? I hate western companys
The main reason they aren’t allowed is cause the trilogy doesn’t run smoothly which mainly sucks for switch players
Do you have a source for that? The email in the video mentions "the contents of the Re;Birth series" as the reason.
@ yeah look up videos from the Japan version of the game you can see it for yourself
@ look up jp switch ports videos of the game you can see it for yourself
This is false, the trilogy runs fine on Switch. The video you're talking about is running them on emulator. I played Rebirth 1 on Switch and it runs fine.
@ it actually is true I own megadimension vii it also doesn’t run well most of the time and that video had the exact same frame rate as it
Oh come on now nintendo is cucked like sony and Microsoft. They allow hentai games, but not the neptunia trilogy? God I hate NoA and NoE so much. Well at least I can still play rebirth trilogy on my Vita or on my Steam Deck, but man I really wanted em for my switch hopefully a miracle can happen, but I wont hold my breath.
Edit: Some are saying its because of performance issues and not because of risqué content. Can anyone confirm? I know Rebirth trilogy has been out in Japan for a while now but i haven't seen switch gameplay
and nothing of value was lost
Hold on a second. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. I heard that the Switch version of the trilogy runs extremely poorly. Maybe that's the reason?
I think most of us playing it on Playstation or pc
Well Neptunia was a PlayStation exclusive so yes
So much for Neptunia on switch in sad now 🥲
