Yes, Nintendo Really Is Allowing A Game With 'Hentai' In The Title On Switch

This is a joke right? This can't be real!

what's the problem people seem to have with 'lewd' games on switch?

Just give us Onechanbara already.

This is the same Nintendo that officially said in a hearing that Night Trap would never make its way onto a Nintendo system. The same Nintendo that wouldn't allow Mortal Kombat to have blood on the SNES.

But is there any hentai actually in it though? COP OUT!

I don't see how not banning and censoring is in any way 'worse', their only issue is not caring about the quality of the games that hit the eShop. As for this game, the word is clearly just there to grab attention (mission accomplished) and get some sales.

I see Nintendo is a company of culture as well

I like the visuals.

Kids, shield your eyes!

Needs more actual hentai.

As I understand it, hentai is actually the Japanese word for pervert, so this game is basically Perverts vs. Evil.

Not sure why anybody at all would be shocked by this after Nintendo allowed Waifu Uncovered to be released on Switch last year

Ha ha. Hilarious. Ninty eShop QC was heading that way.

Probably a title designed to attract ppl to the game and generate news for the game. Probably doesn't actually HAVE, you know what, in the game.

(Gyro support?!)

Its a scam for those people that are so very desperate that they will get any game with the word Hentai in it, I didn't even know the word was allowed on this site TBH.

In other news free porn available all over the internet

@acNewUpdates I have no issue with it, just the majority of these games suck. Most of the time zero thought goes into the actual gameplay and it just sexy images plastered everywhere with some cheap gallery.

You know Sony will censor it. Haha.

The game doesn't look completely terrible (a little slow, a little too cutesy for my tastes), but it's a bit deceptive to throw the word hentai in the title just for shock value. Waifus vs. Evil would have worked just as well.

The problem is that while you’d think these loosening rules would allow a mature, adult take on real-life subjects, we’ve just ended up with a million shovelware games with a boob or two.

Why shouldn't they? With all the graphic violence, vulgar language and crime portrayed in video games, I see nothing wrong with this.

If you're fine with realistic portrayals of murder, torture mini-games, airport massacres, games where you can sleep with and then kill the prostitutes, games where the objectives are to sell illicit drugs...

But you're bothered by comical and unrealistic pervy content- I don't respect you or your opinions.

Now, that doesn't mean this game will be any good. It's probably shovelware.

@acNewUpdates their just to dam senstive these days and tend to ruin things for everyone else.......nude bad.....Blood/Gore/bad language Good....We call them censorship karens.

I know the guy that's part of the publisher for this and it's legit. It's with EastAsiaSoft, the group that brought us Crawlco Block Knockers, which, by the way has a BANGER soundtrack!

Erm, that’s a big of a deal? I’m more surprised that there’ll be a PS4 version too. Since Sony has been the more prudish company in recent years.

@TromaDogg Same publisher, too.

This looks awful! Needs to play very well for me to be interested.

Doesn't Hentai mean Pervert in Japanese? So it's "Pervert vs. Evil" basically. No need to get your knickers in a twist Nlife.

But yes, English speakers do claim it means Porn, but that is incorrect.

@Heavyarms55 Your getting to real for me LOL.

@RadioShadow It does.

Looks like trash. With no hentai.

Bothers me more how cheap it actually looks. Only appears to be 2 generic monsters to kill (and the zombie looks more like cartoon Ganon), neither of which looks especially threatening.

The game just looks bad, the game can be perverted all it wants to but this is just awful shovelware from the looks of it.

@Snatcher It's true though. Those are all things that I have seen, often many times, in major AAA game releases.

I am not suggesting they be censored. I am just tired of the absurd double standards that say "violence = okay but pervy = unimaginable evil"

There's no universe that I accept that boobs are more inappropriate than murder. But we live in a world where murder is even portrayed in kids stories but exposed nipples get adult rating. Tell me how seeing a nipple is worse than seeing someone shot in the face???

@Heavyarms55 I mean I guess, but I feel like there is double standards like this all the time and I feel like that can go for alot of things, but in my opinion, I don't really have a side really, thye can both be bad if used in a way, I mean I feel like it depends on the person, some people find Violence of any kind evil (Anti), but there are some people that think Boobs are just plane bad, I do think that violence is a little worse then boobs tho, as that a natural part of a woman's body, and can be loved just fine.

Watched the video, and this looks embarrassingly bad...

You can have endless gore and that's ok in these forums, but any sex and the prude police show up. Aren't schools talking to 3rd graders about sex these days? Shouldn't that be offensive?

Day one for me. I hope it gets a physical release though.

The hubarious of the West that tells them they get to dicide what other caltures words means is incredable.

変 - Strange / odd / curious

態 - Condition / State

So 変態, or Hentai, becomes "Abnormal". It's a social word play (because like 99% of Japanese culture is word play) on the sexually repressed nature of Japan in general to call someone who is a pervert or horny 変態, which is where that meaning comes from.

But the word means a lot of different things. You'll find it in text books at schools to talk about insect metamorphosis, or in stage notes to imply words should have a strong inflection while spoken.

It's not a dirty word any more then the English word "hot" is a dirty word.

Also the e-shop already has games with full nudity up for sale in US/UK. They generally get pulled from AZ and JP pretty quickly, but that's because a game can't get on e-shop without a rating and AZ rates games with Nudity as for sale to 18+ only and Japan ... will it's complicated, but they generally just refuse to rate them all together seeing they break the law. Remember that unconcerned nudity isn't just 18+ in Japan ... it's full on illegal, so they will only rate adult games if they are already censored, and even if censored they might get a 18+ rating.

@Snatcher 80's horror movies were great because they had ample doses of both

Lol. From the screenshots this actually looks fun. Might give it a shot once it's cheap.

@iuli Looks a new usecase for that RingFit strap for better targeting....

@acNewUpdates Because 9/10 the games are sexist, exploitative garbage with no gameplay?

@RiasGremory Or we just don’t like games that use “sexy women dur dur” is their entire method for getting you to buy their game, it’s exploitative and vile

I mean there is nothing really wrong with the word itself. It literally translates to "pervert" from Japanese. We here in the west treat it differently thanks to the internet but still

@Snatcher Not even close in my mind. Violence is far worse. But it at least sounds like you understand my point. So I appreciate that.

@Darlinfan No I just hate seeing games rely on the female body to sell their garbage, it’s flagrantly sexist - and I’m implying I’m “on the spectrum” for thinking so is a pretty disgusting way to act.

@jodudeit blood on a game back then was actually a very huge thing. You couldn’t even say ass on tv back then.

I fully support these games existing, however, I will be passing as I have access to the entirety of the internet and the countless porn sites hosted within

I already have Xenoblade Chronicles 2, don’t need another one.

Nintendo, what is wrong with you nowadays

Looks maybe fun in an Earth Defense Force kind of way? This kind of stuff isn’t my cup of tea but I’m not particularly offended by it either. Eagerly awaiting Nintendo Life review.

common, people need to relax... i don't know why but it's ok in games to kill people all the time, whats the problem with some erotic... that the game looks cheap is a different topic.

“ Remember when Nintendo was so prudish it would censor any game that posed even the slightest chance of offending anyone?”

Not since BMX XXX no

unlke sony which is censoring just about everything. Nintendo is showing they have been about games for everyone. adults play games too and Nintendo is catering to all gamers.

@HeadPirate I get the etymology, but we all know the stuff associated with hentai, and that stuff is often made by the Japanese, so if they want us to see the word a certain way some of their hardcore hentai artists might be dropping the ball there, my friend.

@Solomon_Rambling 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very well played sir! 😂

@Menardi Apologies if I would rather games were good. If you really want crap shovelware then you’re just a pervy version of Anti-Matter.

@DeclanS98 While it’s annoying, sometimes, the best marketing tactic is that “sex sells.” Men and women are both exaggerated a lot in games, movies, comic books, etc. This particular game, you are right, serves the female anatomy more from what I see. But then remember the cover art for Golden Axe (or google it if you haven’t seen it) and other such things and you’ll see men with impossible physiques (unless drugs are involved.) Marketing, in general, is annoying I’m with you on that.

Hahahaha! What kind of weirdo would get a game like this. Losers. I mean, I certainly won't be getting this game. No doubt about it.

...

@Andy_Witmyer Let us know if it’s good or not

@BulkSlash
Yep that's how it is.in japan they don't call anime porn hentai,they just say 18+ anime.hentai indeed means pervert

@BloodNinja I think my best response to this would be to the reference the fact that games are, essentially, escapism. So for a man, is it annoying for every protag to be buff and white? Yeah it is a little, honesty.

For a woman however, who faces this nonsense in their daily life, so see it replicated within a pastime they use to relax, must be particularly demoralising.

Hopefully that kind of explains my perspective on the issue.

With over 70 comments there might as be a review, yeah?

@nessisonett Damn what was with that roast?

Not for me, but I feel everyone should be able to buy what they want to buy. Excluding some obvious, common sense subjects. The reason I love my switch so much is because I can get M rated titles on it. I wouldn't buy Nintendo consoles before this because of that. I mean c'mon, they put out Mortal Kombat on the SNES when I was a young man with NO BLOOD!?!

@DeclanS98 I get you! I just want to say that BOTH men and women experience stuff of that nature in both daily and digital life. It’s easy to forget that men can be sexually harassed and “cat-called” just the same as women. I think both parties need the same consideration and respect, that’s all I mean.

@DeclanS98 It seems like your perspective here is based off an assumption

I wonder if miyamoto is excited for this

Miyamoto is probably hyped for this

@BloodNinja Yes, So glade somebody else gets it, Woman are not the only ones, And can we just talk about all the times a woman has just beaten a man in a game/cartoon without them doing anything, Looking at you Xenoblade 2, Not to say there the same thing, but Games try to appeal to woman to, with shirtless men and whatnot.

@Anri02 What assumption would that be?

@acNewUpdates Isn't it funny that there will be people who are offended by the sexy images in the footage but won't bat an eye over the violence and guns shown?

That said, I agree with people saying that the gameplay of these types of games is usually lacking.

@Menardi But then you also completely side-stepped my point, which is that there are zero games which handle these subjects tastefully or actually well in the slightest. There are only rubbish shovelware hentai games.

“ For a woman however, who faces this nonsense in their daily life, so see it replicated within a pastime they use to relax, must be particularly demoralising.”

The word “must” here indicates an assumption. Assumptions do not make for strong arguments

@BloodNinja I would agree with you on the point that objectifying men can also be just as bad. It just seems a little reactionary to mention this on an article concerning a game specifically objectifying woman. I would also argue that this happens a LOT more with woman than men. A character that is only partialy clothed does not mean it is being objectified, it's more about what the purpose of the character is, if it is more than eyecandy, if it has a personality beyond being "the hot one". And I think there is a big imbalance between the sexes here in videogames in particular. But again, does not make it less bad if men are targeted.

@nessisonett loosening restrictions always seems to end up that way. Especially with video games. Remember when cursing was new and cool (and ruined dialogue)?

@jodudeit
You're comparing Nintendo of America's statement and stance from nearly 28 years ago to how they are now? Why?
And they allowed full gore and blood in Mortal Kombat 2 when it released on the Super Nintendo.
Honestly, your comment would make a lot more sense if it was made in 1994

@Snatcher Definitely! I don’t want to negate what some women go through, because it’s awful and can be intense. But men go through it too, and need just as much support as women.

@Ensemen I get you! It’s hard to say who it happens to more, as many cases go unreported. I would say you HEAR about it more from a woman’s perspective, but I would say that dialogue is fairly closed off when it comes to men. Sorry for coming off as reactionary, my comment was addressing another users comment, and not directly addressing the subject matter in the article.

@jodudeit Nintendo of America said that, not the real Nintendo, not the Nintendo that make games.

@nessisonett I would want to know how one would even address hentai tastefully! It’s got a certain reputation, considering how hardcore the drawings and animations are that come out of Japan and other regions, sometimes.

@Darlinfan Sexism is not, and will never be, trivial.

@Darlinfan Women being sexualised to a laughable degree in a game, and used explicitly as a vehicle to SELL a game, is sexism. If you don’t think it is, I don’t know what to tell you.

@Solomon_Rambling
> These games should be banned on the eShop, but instead we’re allowing kids to be exposed to this content
Its 17+ if you didnt notice... :facepalm:

@Darlinfan Implying I should jump in front of a train, I think we’re done here.

Annnnnnd of course it looks terrible...

@BloodNinja Less hentai but more just sex in general. It’s a fact of life and yet these games still seem determined to paint it as some sort of dodgy back-alley thing that can only exist alongside a terrible game filled with jiggle physics. Plus the fact the player can change the female characters’ body types on a whim is absolutely abhorrent. It’s the same thing as violence, if handled right then it feeds into the story and such, if not then it feels gratuitous.

Looks like a crappy game that threw a word into its title to get attention. Like Nier automata,Bayonetta and lollypop chainsaw look more risqué than this and aren't rubbish

@nessisonett Completely agree.

@Darlinfan
You might be surprised what most women care about.

I see this game is going to have its knockers.

@BloodNinja the big issue is that the men with impossible muscular physiques are designed to be more like power fantasies for men than for their sex appeal to straight women.

Basically, male characters designed for sex appeal to straight women will look more like men’s underwear models—lots of skin, clearly visible and toned muscles that aren’t steroidal.

If Malos had been designed for sex appeal the way Pyra and Mythra are, he would look very different.

Bottom line is that Nintendo makes money from every game sold on Switch, that's why quality control is out the window now, and why the eShop looks like a Wii kiosk at Walmart in 2010. Indie Shovel Ware.

@BloodNinja I guess I was being kind of reactionary in assuming that you were being reactionary haha. But yeah you're right with problems that predominantely concern woman the male perspective tends to be neglected. It's just that often when this is brought up peolpe say something like "this also happens to men" and move on as this would make it any less bad.
And i think that's a pity because i think it is a very interesting and complex issue. If you want to lean more about it I recommend a video on xenoblade chronicles 2 on youtube. Something like "xenoblade chronicles 2 and sexualisation" i think. Opened my eyes quite a bit on the topic and why it is not as simple as saying "well there are topless dudes too".

hey I'm all for hentai/sexy games being a thing people should be allowed to play, but that trailer is straight up TERRIFYING.

@DeclanS98 Hey, just popping in to say your comments are appreciated and fair. I agree with you entirely, and it's sad that so many people shrug things like this off, or even idolize media like this that have such profoundly negative impact on the world.
For the other commenters, of course we agree that the fantasization of violence is gratuitous and ridiculous, but that's not the point here. Neither is the point "it happens to men too so it's okay" — of course it can happen to men, it's just not a facet of daily life or a worry for them to be incessantly sexualized and objectified on a systematic basis. Neither is the point that it's "just one dumb horny game". It's thousands of dumb horny games that are apparently sell like hotcakes and feeding a very scary and growing economy centered around warped perceptions and generally derogatory content.

@Darlinfan It’s not like on OnlyFans you can tell the women to suddenly gain bigger boobs or lose some weight though. That’s the attitude this game encourages by allowing the player to change the female characters’ bodies at will. If anything, OnlyFans gives more power to the men and women by allowing them to dictate what content is released and when, than when that was decided by some rich porn empire.

@nessisonett I mean, that’s kind of the point of these games. I guess they are piggy backing off the idea of a character editor, but more in the context of the offering. I don’t find it abhorrent, just a little tacky, but adds to the fun nature of these sorts of games.

@riki_sidekicks You’re right about the power fantasies, and again, I think it works both ways. I know of both men and women who work out tirelessly, trying to attain a “perfect physique,” and it’s unarguable that some people find those physiques to have appeal.

@HOAX Really appreciate your comment! I’m just super jaded from seeing tons of games like this on the switch, there’s no reason to exist outside of sexualisation - if we lived in a nonsexist world, they literally wouldn’t exist. Wishing you all the best.

@Ensemen I absolutely agree, it’s much more nuanced than what we may be able to discuss in a forum!

@DeclanS98 Agree wholeheartedly! Thank you for speaking out on the issue, have a great day 😊

Here we go again. Can't we go back to the good ol days talking about QoL features being locked behind amiibo paywalls?

If you're going to try to virally market your game by putting "hentai" in the title.....at least try to make the game, you know, interesting looking? And I don't mean the bunny suits.

That's a dangerously uninformative trailer. No parent unfamiliar with the word "hentai", let alone what it means, watching that trailer would think twice about the game being inappropriate for children.

Bouncy girls aside I've seen "shooting at slowly approaching mob" games before with varying degrees of polish. Nevermind the lewd, the look of the action makes me feel bored.

Nintendo should be ashamed that permits this type of garbage to nintendo store. Quality = zero. Are they desperate? They have enough games already.. I really don't understand! Is there any quality test before submitting this trash to eshop?

@BloodNinja

Oh god. White people man. I'm white myself, and yet every time I hear white people speak about culture I laugh my ass off.

In Japan, hentai isn't called hentai , because if you read what I said you would know that isn't what that word means. You know what they call hentai in Japan? ポルノグラフィー which simply means porn. Because only white people who haven't been exposed to it on a day to day bias as something completely normalized feel the need to make it something special and different then just normal porn. That fact that YOU think it's different and odd because of your own cultural values doesn't mean it's different and odd in the culture that spawned it.

It's also impossible in Japanese syntax to call a porn manga hentai. In the WEST you use it like a noun, but in Japan it's only used an a adjective. So if I pointed at a porn and said "hentai " I would be saying "this thing is perverted", not suggesting the thing is CALLED hentai, like if I pointed to a glass of water and said "wet". I mean I could go on, it's almost like languages are complex and stuff. If anything, in Japan you would call a porn comic "エッチ, or Ecchi, which can be used as a noun, verb or adjective to mean sex, sexual, sexy time. You wouldn't use the word Hentai, which can mean perverted in a sexual context seeing it's base meaning is "abnormal", unless you specially wanted to call something out as being about abnormal sex acts or fetish. And THAT'S why it's called Hentai in the west; because marketing misappropriated the word for perverted and applied it to sex comics because they were somehow more perverted then other types of porn and you can't sell something from Japan without giving it a Japanese-y sounding name!

This is honestly the same as someone flipping the hell out because a card game from an English company was called "Card Hustler" then making the argument that "well because MY limited exposer to this word comes from looking a porn magazines, it's the PORN MAGANIZE'S fault and I'm perfectly justified in thinking the English word hustle always and only means sex.

No, it's your fault for using words from other cultures you know nothing about without taking the time to educate yourself.

How quickly people have forgotten that the Switch is the proud home of Panty Party.

@HeadPirate First off, I’m half middle eastern, half British, thanks for asking. Second off, I’m going off of what Japan puts out, and we all know what that’s about. You can argue the etymology of a word all you want, but when it’s scary tentacle stuff all over the place it sort of diminishes any innocence they may be going for. just putting that out there.

There's no actual hentai in it... what a disappointment...

It is surprising and a bit shocking to see this title on the eShop, but it is also perfectly fine. People are just taking the context of the wording of the title and blowing it out of proportion due to the cultural misconception that it is now known for outside of Japan. The developers do have the option to rename it for the English title, but they chose not to which is totally ok, actually.

Hopefully Twitter won't cancel them to hard for this, we all know that's coming (probably).

This just looks like those $1 garbage games you find on Steam where they take the same models and copy/paste them into different titles.

If it's not rated Ao 18+ by the ESRB, then it probably doesn't have real hentai. That's why it made it onto the eShop.

After recently getting a gaming-capable PC after several years without, I was browsing Steam and fell down a rabbit hole of porn/adult games that are actual, you know, games and not just a cheap excuse to look at boobs and butts. This does not appear to be such a game. Nothing wrong with looking at boobs and butts of course, but there are better ways.

@HeadPirate Racist, much? Like, imagine thinking skin pigmentation has anything to do with someone's ability to understand (in this case) Japanese culture.

You call out white people specifically but for what reason exactly? Like...you've targeted whites, but I'd be willing to bet that as a group, your average "person of color" (whatever that even means these days) would know probably just as little about the topic of Japanese erotica as any foreigner to Japan - maybe even less (not that it matters).

And although, as Asians, the Japanese and Chinese might live relatively close to one another and even share certain superficial physical characteristics - do you really think that the average Chinese citizen is as well-versed in the proper words for Japanese pornography as you are? I mean, I would highly doubt it.

So, again, why are stereotyping and judging folks who have less melanin in their skin so harshly? Who are you trying to impress? Do you think that just because you happen to be a self-loathingly smug, snarky, and virtuous white person, that that doesn't mean your comment isn't horribly racist and bigoted? Well, it is.

But, it's fine. I'm of the opinion that people are free to stereotype others as they would see fit - I mean, it's not any skin off my back. Not that you would likely give me the same level of respect and tolerance, but it's all good 🙂

That walking backwards animation is just walking forwards in reverse! Come on! It's the year 2021, that shouldn't even be an option in any game making package!

@BloodNinja It's awfully nice and totally not bigoted in any way when good, progressive minded folks like @HeadPirate make certain assumptions about the level of pigment in your skin.

I think HeadPirate was just trying to help you by letting you know that you sound just like the vast majority of (the largely unintelligent and culturally ignorant) white folks not named HeadPirate. Can you blame our seafaring friend for making that judgment? Obviously, skin color can tell you so many important things about a person. Because of this, I think it would be fair to say that you should try not to sound so light in pigment.

And I say that because - who knows - maybe if you were less than half-British you would actually know a bit more about the various words for Japanese erotica. It's obvious that with fewer non-white traits, your level of understanding and tolerance for the Japanese culture (and their niche but still relatively prevalent) celebration of tentacles would be so much greater than what it is.

As it stands, though, the Anglo part of your ancestry is making you sound like a racist.

@DeclanS98 its certain people like you ruin everything for everyone wen comes to censorship but thankfully nintendo wont cater to you censorship karens and besides no one is forcing you to buy or play these games.

@RiasGremory “People aren’t happy with me objectifying women ((((“

@DeclanS98 im not saying women should be objectified all the time but at the same time same can be said about extreme blood/gore/bad language/violence in games gets a serious free pass.

@RiasGremory Oh so you only disrespect women sometimes? That’s much better! How about you treat them with humanity all of the time, is that too much to ask?

I wouldn't buy this not only because it's hot garbage, but also because who in their right mind would want a game with "Hentai" in its title in their games library?

@XenoShaun
I was going to say the same thing. Origin on PS4 was the first time I played a game in the series. It's pretty fun.

@Andy_Witmyer You are totally confused, and that post was utter hogwash. If you are still associating behaviors with skin color, you've got tons of work to do to undo that level of ignorance. And generally, that other guy tends to just troll the forums with virtue-signaling garbage posts. Luckily he doesn't post very often, but when he does, it's rarely good. Why I waste time replying to such negative people is beyond me, so you're blocked and so is he. I don't need you bigots in my headspace.

@HeadPirate Japan educates us with what they want us to see. You can argue the word all you want, while their action speaks the loudest. You're arguing against something that has mounds of proof against you, so while it's nice that you are giving us a history lesson on a word, that doesn't explain at all why the current-day usage is scary tentacle stuff and awful depictions of r*** with minors, etc. You're thoroughly deluded if you defend hentai with what is currently out there. That stuff has been going on since before I ever spoke about it, so point your misguided rage where it's supposed to go, which shouldn't be at anyone in this forum.

@DeclanS98 thats not wat i said dont go putting words in other people mouths.

@BloodNinja You totally missed my EXTREMELY heavy sarcasm. I'm on your side 😂

@BloodNinja I do not usually comment because I just enjoying reading the chaos of the comments, but I think you may have misinterpreted Andy's comment directed towards you. The way I saw it, it was positively dripping with sarcasm and he doesn't actually hold the beliefs you think he does. Then again, I may be entirely wrong, but I was just surprised you chose to block him when he seemed to be on your side.

Since I'm commenting on this article, I guess my two cents are that the game looks rather crummy, but hey, this kind of press always gives way to entertaining comments so I'm not complaining that the article exists. Then again, I really don't see the point in highlighting shovelware, but since Nintendo hasn't done much recently, guess this is what we get!

@Andy_Witmyer Oh wow, I was right on the money with my earlier comment! You beat me by 10 seconds, but since he blocked you, I don't believe he's gonna see your comment.

@UsurperKing You got it. You hit the proverbial nail on the head 💕

I was actually a little bit worried that maybe the sarcasm I displayed was perhaps too obvious; maybe a touch too heavy-handed, but...it would appear as though my concerns were unfounded 😂

Will it be uncensored like the PC version, though? Looking at the Steam community screenshots, it depicts full frontal nudity.

@UsurperKing I can still see his comments. Maybe there is still some hope to be had. But, it's fine either way.

I really just replying again bc I wanted to give you my thanks for your decision to weigh in on a topic that you usually wouldn't - and doubly so for coming to the defense of a complete stranger like myself.

I don't know about you, but - to me - it seems like the world has become increasingly very weird over these last few years (and in the last year especially), what with all of the virtuously angry ready to pounce at every twist and turn. As such, it's always nice when I see that there are still some sane folks out there (or at least, sane insofar as seeming to fit with my subjective interpretation of the word).

But, yeah - in any case - I gotta get back to pretending like a game with hentai in its title doesn't interest me and/or cater to my guilty pleasures 😜

I'm just saying, thank God Mr "I hate anime" pj reilly didn't write this, and hopefully if there's a review it's someone other than him. I don't even care if the review from another person says the game is bad just don't make the guy who clearly has a bias of hating anime write it and it's all good

@Bl4ckb100d Me. I'm feeling daring

@DeclanS98 man calm down lmao

@Doofenshmirtz no lmao

@UsurperKing I almost got that too, but it was too hard to tell. If that's the case, I'll unblock.

Sounds fun, I'm in!

I really don't get it people being suddenly surprised or even offended by games like that.

I mean, Nintendo allowed full-blown real(!) strippers getting bare-breasted in over 20min of FMV in BMX XXX for gamecube.
stuff sony heavily censored on PS2.

I don't see a problem with games like these. They are clearly marked on the eshop.
If you don't like them, don't buy them. simple as that.

also: I didn't see as much alarm when naked women were constantly 'shown' throughout God of War or Witcher III. even worse, they were not much more than playmates ("sex toys") in these games.
double standards?

@Austrian
This kind of attitude goes all the way back to the 90s. People have whined about nudity, even violence, in games, movies, etc forever. It'll never end, eventhough it should because these kind of games can very easily be avoided.

@Kriven This does imply that all sexual fantasies involving fictional characters are in fact non-consensual because the character does not exist to give its consent. If that character somehow became sentient and aware of the content featuring it on the internet, I doubt it would react with positivity.

There is a very real link between the non-consensual fantasy stuff available on the internet, male domination real life porn and the rise in ‘rape’ culture in recent years. Most people can draw a line but addiction is unhealthy and yet invisible.

Joe Lieberman has entered the chat

@XenoShaun yes!

@Kriven Thank you for your post.

@RadioHedgeFund It is just a bit of fun or a "fantasy" , an escape for some people. All they can do is put age restrictions/guidelines on things. People need to take responsibility for themselves and their own wellbeing. Parents need to actually do some parenting and take responsibility of their kids. At a certain age, you just have to assume most people are of sound mind and know right from wrong and what could be potentially disruptive. Like you say, "most" people can draw the line. I think education is the key with this issue, but sadly even today, some kids are still not getting a good one or indeed one at all.

@Scollurio @Kriven

Yep, it is somewhere crazy that we even have to fear that Sculpture from the Renaissance or classical Age get Censored because they are naked.

Only because it is somewhere se x ual Content, there is no Difference to Content with Violance.
The Problem aren't People that are consuming those, the Problem are the People that can't comprehend the Difference between Fiction and Reality.
Be it because they take it for real or because they think that it will be taken for real by the Majority.
But as Prn and splatter Movies haven't killed Society, this also will not.

What causes Problems in the Society is Inequality in different Obstacles, be it Rights, Education, Economics, Healthcare et cetera.
But it is ever since easier to blame Media than to take Action and got those Things fixed.

Also as mentioned, it is ADULT content, not for Childs.
An Adults should be able to separate it and Kids should be teached about the Difference.

It seems like this is more a Problem in the US, but as anything gets imported into Europe.
Normally the Rule is: Violance taboo in EU but Nudety/Se xuality ok and vice Versa.

I love that the creators probably didn't even know what Hentai is, and just threw that buzzword into the mixer, adding some bad Anime models, hoping weebs would buy it xD

I'm fine with Nintendo allowing it though. (At least as far as the lewdness goes, this basically is super ***** shovelware, which I like a lot less) As long if there's a good parental controls option / age verification system in place, lewd stuff should be able to be sold. It doesn't hurt anyone, and you can choose to see the listings or not.

@gaga64

I'm almost certain the models of the female main characters are buyable on unity, so I'm betting the monsters were quick buys as well.
So those bad Gannons were likely just a renaming of an asset they acquired.

Here's the thing the rest of the Japan gaming is more embracing of every game type but there are those USA bible thumpers. That can't stand anything Hentai unless they can be in your bedroom 24/7 watching what your doing. They have such sad lives this is thier only form of entertainments. Yet they protect religious predators like their life depended on that. That's how sad the state of USa is in. Now think about that. If you can't have honest talk about sexuality then you shouldn't be parenting or telling how other's should conduct their sexuality choices.

@Azuris Exactly. Society has many problems and it seems we're trying to fix all the wrong things. Equal opportunity for everyone should be the goal. Taking responsibility for oneself and your kids a given. One can dream.

This is why I got 0 problems with seeing new nintendo crash down with all the lawsuits they get plus the backlashes, ima eat popcorn, drink my wine to when they finally die off.
This isn't nintendo at all, it's a socialist, give me money I don't care for what you say as a customer at all, company - nintendo died when the old president passed away, and when Reggie left too.

Grotesque, I am gonna have to sadly warn parents to not get this hybrid for their children or family member because the fact that switch a supposed family console has parentel control is disturbing, cause at the end of the day it won't work out. - Stuff like this in this hybrid fake family console, it's bleak to see how far new nintendo has gotten....

Listen, whether you like it or not, nintendo has always been a family friendly console first then anything else, just seeing how the state of the nintendo switch is going...it's barf worthy for an old community member eyes...like who the heck is green lighting all these 400+(yes I found out from a website thats how many are they in the nintendo switch) mobile game imports plus perverse ones?? Like who???..ugh the switch is just a giant trash bag that you can just port anything in it..nothing else, not an actual unique hybrid handheld anymore.

@nessisonett "rubbish showelware hentai"
Most ecchi games on the Switch has been fun so far. Non are actual hentai, except maybe Waifu uncovered. The Japanese eroge are all age versions and not the 18+ ero versions.

If Howard Lincoln was dead he'd be rolling in his grave.

But he's not dead so he's probably just rolling in the dough!

To the people who make games on stolen IPs: Stop making your fan games, make your own stuff to showcase your talent. If they let some crap like this on the eshop, you can get your game on the eshop too.

@MidnightLaces
Makes one wonder what you're even doing here in the first place, eh? Oh right, oceans of wine and continents of popcorn until NTDOY dies; ironically, with that diet, Vegas has YOU going first...

For me this isn't a big deal since Hentai doesn't mean anime porn, but it just mean pervert in Japanese so its not really a bad word or anything I suppose unless pervert is a bad word then nvm.

I have bad or good news depending on your viewpoint, hentai content is now blocked, I guess people are too lazy to use parental controls and Nintendo is changing their policy. https://gonintendo.com/contents/10253-rumor-nintendo-changes-policy-no-longer-allows-games-with-uncensored-bare-breasts
