Dubious eShop Game Safety First Puts The 'Pee' In Puzzler

Why would it? Nintendo approved it. Otherwise it wouldn't be there.

Yeah just saw this on the eShop when I went to grab Alex Kidd and it looked a little out of place.

My first thought was, “Is that guy pissing?”, then I quickly moved past it.

Odd move by Nintendo but then again, they are embracing mature content.

BRB - gotta lay down some yellow repair liquid..

I don't know why but I feel more uncomfortable looking at this then those dating sims

time to take a piss

Well, there was Kid Nikki Radical Ninja 3 where an enemy was showing his genitalia and peeing. (Thanks i-mockery.com) and Okami has Amaterasu train in the sacred art of peeing on her enemies and laying literal stink bombs.

So I'd say this is more gross and immature low-brow humor.

I think this game appearing today of all days is either the developer's or even Nintendo's attempt at an April Fool joke. It's unusual for a game to release on the Eshop on a Monday. Perhaps it's making fun of how open Nintendo are now, compared to the past. Or perhaps I'm over thinking it.

Looking at the image on the Eshop, you just know what the icon is going to look like.

@BenAV I fear this will be one of those games that gets a 90%+ discount and make regular appearances in the charts.

I couldn't ever NOPE this enough. Joke or not.

Thanks, I hate it.

There will be lines out the door with a switch game like this.

I’m seriously starting to worry that Nintendo is becoming more like Steam. Once a bastion (if a little bit excessively protective) for quality (although didn’t always work) I worry Nintendo may head down Steam’s “Open the Flood Gates! Roll Up! Roll Up! Everybody see the freaks!”

@FX102A As of now, Nintendo still has higher standards...and may actually wind up LESS censorious about certain types of games at this point.

Sometimes man just wants to see the world burn.

I hope we get a physical release of this game about physical release. Seriously though, I don't see this on the eShop. Is it Europe only? I'm always using the U.S. eShop, or occasionally the Japanese eShop.

Oh, and what's the frame rate. Peeing should be super smooth, or I won't play it.

Oh, this is an April Fool's thing altogether! It isn't on any eShop!

I found it. It's not listed under new releases, but when I scrolled through the 100 games for sale it was at the bottom of the list.

I got it. It doesn't run at 60 fps, but close. It's also kinda fun. It also has more than pee jokes. Kids wouldn't, or at least I hope wouldn't, get them, but they're there. I also started smelling pee while playing, which made me uncomfortable. I guess my brain added it in, like a smell hallucination.

There's nothing wrong with urine... It's a natural waste disposal mechanism that happens to be conductive.

... I don't care for this at all.

that should be on newgrounds, not on the SWITCH, i know we got ecchi games but i feel this is a bit too much.

Lol, sure why not?

Also, I guarantee that this is more tame than my collection of "plot" heavy games.

Nobody can make me play this game!!!! (Unless of course if you pay me to play it.)

How long until what is pulled?

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Might as well repair some stuff while you’re at it.

Silly gooses, Sony is the one that censors

can't wait for our dear Brazilian president Bolsonaro to bash all over Nintendo on Twitter for allowing that! Oh wait, no, he wouldn't do it to an international corporation, he would only do it to his own country...

You’re in for a splashing time with this number one game!

@AxeltheBuizel is it because it makes your heart beat a little faster?

I thought for sure this was an April Fool's joke but it is real. Grabbed it and it is not bad at all, better than some of the garbage I have purchased in the shop.

Under what grounds should the game get pulled? Quality-wise it doesn’t look great, but it ain’t the worst game on Switch. And at least they didn’t pull a Xenon Racer and use fake video or screenshots. It’s not obscene. It is perfectly acceptable for kids. It may be puerile, but that’s not reason enough to ban a game, is it?

I’m personally not going to get it, as it looks boring and repetitive. But I imagine there are people out there actually enjoying it, and I wouldn’t want to censor their harmless fun.

I got it earlier and it's great fun! I highly recommend!

Guys what's the problem? Everybody pisses: boys and girls, children and adults as well.

It's no worse than most of the other indie retro-bait garbage on the eshop. If they pull this, they should really consider backtracking to day 1 and pulling up ALL the weeds.

The lack of quality control on the eshop is inexcusable. The prices they're allowed to get away with are even worse.

There should be a special category for retro-bait and steam ports so the real library doesn't get buried. 90% of the eshop doesn't deserve to rub elbows with first party titles in the same category.

It's almost predatory lumping them together. You shouldn't have to wade through 100s of throw away 2d sidescroller college projects to get to the actual games that justify the cost of the hardware.

Great game tricky to master. You just gotta know when to take the piss

@60frames-please I see it listed at the top of “new releases”, so I don’t know why it wasn’t there for you.

Not that I plan to even spend a penny on this!

Needs to drink more water.

As long as your game isn't all the broken, Nintendo wants a cut of any and all content on the eshop and at retail. It's not like they're profiting off of the TON of BIG 3rd party or 1st party games being released every month - cuz it's been pretty quiet. However, this game looks funny so I am glad they allowed it.

Well, I'll say.
I've let Meme Run escape from my clutches. It's not going to happen on the Wii U's successor, too.
NEVER AGAIN.

Come on, Nintendo. Get it together. I expect this amateur hour stuff from Soulja Boy but not from you.

@Dang69 It is kind of funny, and a decent physics puzzle game. I wish it had multiplayer. That could be fun and funny.

Rated P for Pee'n.

A game about peeing on things, remember, this is okay, but boobs need to be censored. #doublestandards.

My most anticipated game of 2019, so glad it’s finally here!!

Is this game is a piss take?

@Tempestryke I played that game and I remember being confused by that peeing enemy. Later I realized it was probably supposed to be Manneken Pis. Also note that the Japanese see nothing sexual about little boy wieners, which is why you can see Goku fully nude in early Dragon Ball.

@Heavyarms55 We need a stick figure shoot-em-up called Booby Gun.

XD

I would play that for a good laugh.

@SmaggTheSmug

Its called the Piss Mannequin?

@penamiguel92

Does this mean that at some point in the game, his little stick figure became a lightning rod? Lol!

@Tempestryke Pissing Boy, it's a statue in Belgium.

@SmaggTheSmug

That's charming.

@Tempestryke I think Booby Missiles would make more sense!

@Heavyarms55 Would they contain Booby Traps? XD

@Tempestryke Most likely. It would be a waste otherwise.
