Since when? They didn't censor MadWorld or Manhunt 2 on the Wii, they even defended those. Any censorship they do manage, is with titles they publish. There is no clear evidence that Nintendo had a say in the matter, other than someone throwing their name out without researching. XSeed did seem pretty reluctant to localize this game in the first place, so they might just be trying to keep a low profile with this title. They're definitly not Aksys. Nothing in-game appears to be censored, though. Aside from what my sig leads you to believe, I'm bringing up a valid argument. I wholeheartedly disagree. While Nintendo didn't censor those two specific games, the have done many more censorships in the past(ex. MK on the SNES?). I was there back when Sega was saying "Sega does what NintenDon't!". XseeD whated to localize this game for the longest and their main issue was Nintendo of America. Oh yes and before you say Nintendo of America isn't a issue with Japanese games, why is it that fans had to fight so hard to get Project rainfall here? The situation is far more dire now since Nintendo is the only publisher with region locking now so even if we did wanted to import SK, we couldn't play them on our 3DS, we would need a JPN model. It's either play Hardball with NOA or don't get the game, and it was that kind of a stranglehold Nintendo had on developers back in the day. I think it's fair that anyone blames NOA for any censorship because they are widely known for doing it(lolz trying to stop smashbro's at Evo this year?), oh yes I appreciate them for letting XSeeD localize The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, and now Senran Kagura...but should I have to thank them for something Sony just lets publishers do freely? I don't think that's right....but to each their own.

I was saying that it pains me to see someone blame NOA for a practice they became far more lenient on back in the 64 bit era. The region locking thing could be summed up to what Iwata said about cultural issues and things like that and they simply don't want to see any problems arise. But that is Iwata's decision as all 3DS consoles are region locked, even in Japan, not just North America. What would be your point on them wanting to help more Japanese publishers localize their games over here?

I would mention that censorship in FE but I digress. There is censorship on Fire Emblem? Give me an example, please. On topic: I don't really like censorship in ANY kind of product. Look at 4Kids and what did they do to some really cool anime series back in the 90's and the 2000's. Just because a really nice looking girl is showing a little bit more meat than usual, it doesn't need to be removed.

I was going to post this when we had the NA and EU release date but seeing how that's not going to happen until the last minute I decide to just do it now and then update the end when the actual dates are given.
Hopefully someone finds this funny.
