I assume Xander sees this listed while browsing Walmart.com. Which, like Amazon, is a hub for third party sellers to advertise their available stock. Since this is a Europe-only physical release, it wouldn't be on Walmart shelves anywhere in Murica. Although I don't pretend to know if Walmart has a presence in Europe?

Whether that trashy game is being sold at Walmart or any other store, Im say ing that
Im surprised Nintendo would even be ok with a game like that in the first place
@Magician Nah it doesn't, they tried once in Germany but as they took their standard of workers rights to Germany it just belly flopped and quickly failed. Walmart does own/have an investment in Adsa which is a similar chain in the UK.
So is Walmart like a church or synagogue in the US and that's why the game shouldn't there? ;p

If Nintendo wasn't okay with a game like this we wouldn't have The Witcher 3, Skyrim, Outer Worlds, INSIDE, NieR Automata, Persona 5, 4 or 3, which are all rated 18 / M. Nintendo used to have heavy violence / sexual content / religious restrictions on games and while it was good for kids, they ain't the only ones who play video games.
Currently playing:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Persona 4 Golden
Dragon Quest XI S
F1 23
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
@jump how dare you. I go to my local Walmart to pray my Great-Value prayers every day. To mock my Walmart religion is to mock me. I'd recommend going for a prayer once, just to try. I find they're usually most successful in the deli aisle.
Games I'm playing right now:
Tears of the Kingdom - Switch

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread at low low prices,
And forgive us our credit card splurges,
as we forgive those who who take up the aisle space as we push our trolley past them,
And lead us into temptation,
For that heavily discounted TV. Amen.
So is Walmart like a church or synagogue in the US and that's why the game shouldn't there? ;p
Big chain stores in the US sell mature rated games with violence/gun, but the US is more shy about nudity. So things leaning toward smutty aren't sold at big chain stores like, Walmart, Target, Kmart(rest in peace), Meijer, etc.
@WoomyNNYes that seems odd as Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton released a sex tape and they become worshipped in America for it. It’s such a weird country.
They're champions of "contemporary" (modern) feminism in Murica. Marketing their sexuality for maximum clout and financial gains. Depending on which side of the fence you land on, they're either idolized as "boss" women who are in full command of their outlook in life, or they're a leading example of how strong independent women are willing to wreck their legacy in favor of the all-mighty dollar. Either way, basically...not great role models, yet they are.

@Magician I agree, they are terrible role models. America should look to it's tradittional role models like Little Miss Child Beauty Pageant Winner for inspiration!

i was just browsing Walmart online for nintendo switch game and noticed an adult game called Perky Little Things.
What the heck is wrong with Nintendo for allowing a game like that in the first place?
It's called Adult games for Adult? What part does one forget? One doesn't have to look for such games or are they looking for it and then making excuses because they caught red handed? One has to ask. Nintendo is a Gaming company not a wholesome family games only company-they make living off selling and making games. You see Disney and it's subdivision they are also into Adult theme but no one is asking them to quit the Adult theme, Right? So let's forget this rubbish and focus on relevant things instead. Remember Japan has more better control on Adult themes then Sony censorship and NA Censorship which can't seems to censor themselves enough.
@Rambler I too have a watched a documentary series about American pageant culture, which featured the beloved American icon Honey Boo Boo Child.
It makes me wonder if Americans grew up with page 3 and arty movies on the telly they wouldn’t get outraged over nonsense and have these creepy children contests.
@jump
Wowser, that is just as weird as the Brasseye sketch.

I think NL did an article on this game a while ago? After looking it up, I'm still non the wiser on its content, but it seems to be going for a 70s exploitation vibe.
Title is still awful mind.
