I did wonder what had happened to this, I looked for in the eShop and in-game a couple times until I just looked up what had happened and found this tweet earlier today. Kind of an odd thing to happen, but I'm glad we're getting it next week at least.
I wonder what kind of issue could have cropped up to delay something only in specific regions?
I can’t see how a technical issue could be region specific these days…
Ahhh ok, now it makes sense, I have been trying to get it for some days, with no luck. It's weird because in the game there's the news that the DLC is already out... I think they could have managed this better, but it's fine. I'll wait and I'll buy it. I freaking LOVE this game.
I completely forgot about this. I only started the game recently and sheesh I forgot how difficult the Prince of Persia games can be but the visuals in this game look really nice.
Gay/queer/misc progressive politics topics that ticked off some fundamentalist regressive governments (not conservative. Real conservatism is a government that minds its own damn business) that threatened raise the rating to equivalent of an AO/Z/whatever PEGI uses for "cultured.art" or outright ban it unless said material was removed.
Beat the DLC it’s very short like a 1hr 30 mins but it’s pretty tough, tougher then the main game
Kinda sucks that it is 10 months later, haven't touched it since it came out and will have to relearn how to play it...
@Zeebor15 Didn’t completely get your posting, but yeah, it seems to be some PEGI stuff.
@Alpha008 maybe something odd like Nintendos submission process. Like you say it’s be surprising if it was technical related
I guess for this to be delayed exclusively in certain countries there could have been issues with either (in order of likelihood from less to more likely):
My guess is that:
There's no connection between the rating bodies in these countries and I've previously heard that while Australia/NZ essentially uses the European eshop, it's not impossible to have a game that is Europe only
...Featuring the Moon from Majora's Mask.
Probably something considered offensive, and/or completely unacceptable in some of those cultures.
@Max_the_German
Hi Max! Can we hit each other up on Discord, i have done questions since your from Germany 😊
@Scrubelicious I would, but I don’t use Discord. Put you question here, please.
Smells like censorship.
@Max_the_German sorry for my late message.
Since you are not on Discord, the question is rather mute. 😅
It was about a German Nintendo community on Discord. ☺️
