Re: PSA: Watch The First Super Mario Movie For Free, Before Galaxy Arrives (US)

I really wish the days of ad-based viewing would come back as the norm. And I am not talking about crappy "pay to still watch ads" tiers netflix and others are doing

Still remember when I was watching the entire crunchyroll catalog without spending a cent and finding lots of niche stuff that eventually became part of my tastes. Too bad they switched to premium exclusively

Re: Dispatch Dev AdHoc Responds To Nintendo's Statement, Says It Intends To Address Censored Switch Content

"As Nintendo states, any game that’s going to be on the Nintendo platform needs to ‘meet [Nintendo’s] established content and platform guidelines.’ This is the key point. Nintendo has content guidelines. Our game didn’t meet those guidelines, so we made changes that would allow us to release on their platform."
This just further prooves what I said on the last article:

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/01/nintendo-responds-to-dispatch-switch-censorship-with-official-statement#comment9001082

"We initially assumed, like some of you, that because games like Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk are on the platform with similar types of uncensored mature content, Dispatch would be allowed to do the same. During the porting process it became clear that was not the case."
and this further prooves that Nintendo, like Steam and Playstation, are playing favorites...
I wonder if it's possible to sue when a company doesn't meet their own established guidelines...

Re: Nintendo Responds To Dispatch Switch Censorship With Official Statement

"While we inform partners when their titles don’t meet our guidelines, Nintendo does not make changes to partner content. We also do not discuss specific content or the criteria used in making these determinations."

This is a cop-out.

No, you absolutely do.
By having said unreasonable guidelines, you are telling devs what they must change about their game to be seen on your platform when you should instead keep yourself out of someone else's creation process. This is the kind of ***** that leads to self censorship. If your guidelines simply drew the line at regulatory bodies and let devs go hog wild with their ideas, no fan would be complaining

@shgamer the VF series is more exclusively about the raw fundamentals of 3D fighting. It's got combos, sure, but they end as fast as the begin. It's a little too "pure" for our hype-tastic world today.

If it makes you feel a little better, the original people behind PS1 Tekken also worked on VF before they jumped to namco iirc.

@batmanbud2 Treehouse's problems is more internal with translation. They treat even teens and adults like little children that need to be coddled from another culture that isn't their own.

But these days, I don't even buy a lot of nintendo games, i buy 3rd party games that can be a bit wacky and creative in ways Nintendo wouldn't be. Even right now I am playing through GalGun2, and that's a really silly and cute kind of game

So yeah, i'm with others, don't do anything stupid, prichard. I want my ecchi and I want it unfiltered. Same with horror elements. I don't have to like that, but at least give it the respect it deserves

@Nep-Nep-Freak Never forget that Disaster Day of Crisis is a wild railshooter that reggie skipped, and deserves to be better remembered.
They even redid the default english in of the japanese release that was meant to replicate a Hollywood film so it would be more to american tastes after re-localization and STILL didn't release in in america!!!
lol
