In Japan, nakedness is more like a representation of purity which is why Ness is naked in Magicant. Something like that obviously wouldn't translate the same way outside of Japan so putting Ness in his PJ's was the safer option since Magicant is a dream world
Recently a game called Live A Live on the switch has a move in the game where a character throws a lizard at the enemy, that lizard also happens to be covering his hot dog, if he’s facing the screen when he does this move, there will be a yellow smiley face there when he throws the lizard.
"From his original name which is Vodka Drunkenski. You know cause he's Russian, and Russians enjoy communism" it's a real shame the Communist Party isn't the ruling party like it once was, comrade. They're the biggest opposition party in Russian politics though. We miss those good times

Rock monster has “different” meanings in different circles. Some bad, some VERY bad and some quite absurd. I always called the yellow devil the yellow devil, not “rock monster”. That’s just weird.
You left out quite a few like the MK8 victory pose that resembled an insult called "up yours" in the UK. Also there's a lot of Fire Emblem censorship too
Fun fact: Nintendo censoring less than Sony is actually older than you may think. Partially through the N64 era, they stopped forcing censorship at all beyond just no AO games. BMX XXX released on Gamecube and Ps2 and it was the Ps2 version that censored boobs.
Yknow sometimes I visit this channel to watch one or two videos. I’m always glad that Conner is consistently the same RUclipsr that made my childhood however many years ago. Keep on making people happy dude.
All censorship is unnecessary to me the only time censorship should happen is when a kid is playing the game not because a kid could be playing the game
Dumb question, but could music be censored? Nintendo took out the chanting from Zelda OOT Fire Temple years later cause I think they said it offensive or something like that?
Nope those were Islamic chants in the Fire Temple and one of the stones had the Islamic sign ☪️, and like pure Nintendo fashion they removed those side note I believe the mirror shield had the Islamic sign but that was also removed
@@mmmnah7684 On N64, only the Fire Temple song was changed, the islamic symbol was the Gerudo Symbol ingame, it was replaced for the Gerudo Symbol used in Majora starting at the Game Cube Rereleases.
@@Starlight_235 It was exactly the same file, it came with CD with religious and mystical chanting samples made to be used by sound designers, a lot of games used it, even recently, with Street Fighter V having a DLC stage removed for some time because it used the same Islamic chant.
One form of censorship I immediately thought of as well is changing Poison's gender to transgendered to avoid controversy of violence being directed towards women. THAT didn't age TOO well. Yikes.😬
Ironically, there are people who want Poison to remain trans as diversity. Which, that has some weird implications, why not just have an original character who is that?
@@VGamingJunkie Well; canonically speaking, Poison's creator has confirmed that Poison IS Trans and was created that way. I'm not sure about Roxy, but Poison is Trans; which would be fine, but the way she's portrayed; being beaten up by a former pro-wrestler, street fighter, and ninja/street fighter, is questionable. She DID however have a brief fling with Cody; which probably led to the break up with Jessica, and than framed him for all of HER crimes; as well as the Mad Gears', which put him in jail; leading into the Alpha/Street Fighter series. Apparently Cody was framed for crimes he didn't commit and E. Eddie put him in jail. Haggar knows he's innocent, but can't free him and Guy tries to reason with him to just serve his sentence and be on the straight and narrow again when he gets out. Cody feels some sense of responsibility for his vigilante crimes and believes he DESERVES to be I. Prison; as long as he can easily break out for a Street Fighter tournament, of course.😉 So yeah, sorry that was long-winded, but Poison has had a thing with Cody, framed him for crimes, ruined his potential engagement to Jessica, destroyed his friendships with Haggar and Guy, and managed Hugo in the world of Professional wrestling and has even started her own band and solo singing career. Oh and I think she was a stripper and... woman of the night we'll say, briefly. And now she's the FIRST representative of the LGBTQ community in; probably ALL, of gaming history. So yeah. I guess that's WHY people want her to remain transgendered; but she probably could do, a little less, controversial things as well.
@@VGamingJunkie That's what her creator RECENTLY stated. I don't know how TRUE that statement is, but that's what THEY are going with. It's kind of like when Nintendo says the Koopalings were NEVER Bowser's children; despite THREE games and a cartoon series proving that statement FALSE 🤔
@@Nick-up5wv Sounds like it was retroactively changed to appeal to a certain demographic, which is just plain dishonest. Erasing a female character for diversity.
in the Japanese version of the NES game Ice climbers, Seals were a common enemy in the game and you had to hit them with your hammer to kill them. In the American version, the seals were replaced by Topis, most likely because seal clubbing was/is a controversial issue.
Nintendo doesnt censor anything nowadays? Imagine having Japanese voting Top 2 Male and 2 Females Units to receive a picture in a bathing suit and end up 1 of them being censored in some parts of world and the worst part you have to pay for it as optional DLC.
I vividly remember hearing a smack sound in the Earthbound dad scene, only to find that the US version never had it. Is it mandela effect? or did it really have it at some point?
There’s stuff in games that I am surprised Nintendo didn’t censor, like allowing Rarewares unnecessary details on characters from their games like the enemy Klump from DKC1.
If you dive next to the mermaid before returning her necklace/bikini top she actually has special dialogue. With the bikini top she yells at link and calls him a pervert, but with the necklace she tells him she’s already searched around there, while still blushing even though that doesn’t make sense in this case.
I think I had a pirated Mario party DS game Princess Daisy‘s description saying somebody with spunk and sass then I got a different version later and they remove the word spunk also when the Wii U miivers where people can send photos and chat about games I wrote the word spunk and Nintendo deleted it several times it just wouldn’t allow this word to be said!
I think it wasn't just any nintendo doing the censoring, just nintendo of America. Remember, nintendo released those games in its home country uncensored.
There's another one in Wario Land 3 with a penguin enemy. In international versions, they throw a ball, but the Japanese version they're throwing beers. When Wario gets hit with them, he turns purple, and starts stumbling backwards with reverse controls.
How could you not mention Super Mario RPG? Not only was Bowser's victory animation changed from what basically means "Up yours" in America (but actually means "Victory" in Japan) to a generic hyped animation, or finding Peach's XXX behind the castle fireplace being changed to finding her ??? instead. Pretty sure there was at least one more but I can't think of it.
Pb and mayo sandwiches rock. They are enhanced by bread and butter pickles though. And I’m absolutely not joking at all. Ask your grandparents who lived in the depression, they’ll know what’s up!
