@Hern4ndeZzz Book of Shadows (2nd game) and 2U (3rd game) were banned in NA and PAL eShops. Physical Japanese versions and digital versions have English language... But why care about importing when you can buy it easily either on GOG or Steam? They have regional pricing and will be definitely cheaper than on eShop. When GOG (as everything else) was working in Russia, I've bought Book of Shadows and 2U for 3$USD each, thanks to regional pricing and discount.
First they banned Hyperdimension Neptune, Death end re;Quest, CORPSE PARTY, Brave X Junction, anime games in general. Now they force Western developers to censor the games? Good that I have a laptop now where I am the only one to judge which games I shall play and in which appearance.
Well, not all materials that featured in trailers can appear in the final game.
Look at how many things BIOHAZARD REV1 trailers had, and how much things were cut/changed in the final release.
@LazyDaisy Well, we got Silksong after all these years, at least. The same cannot be said about Katana ZERO's DLC that more looks like a vaporware than an actual work in development.
«Things got off to a rocky start with Revelations in 2012, during which it was revealed that Morgan Lansdale was the architect behind the game’s events. Remember him? No, no one else does either.» As a REV1 fan, I feel insulted. There was a "cliffhanger" at the end of REV1, and CAPCOM still haven't made any follow-up/mention to that thing. Also, CAPCOM lacks good writing in their games in general. I wonder if they're hiring actual scenario writers for games or not...
@TrueBlueYoshi Well, Snakes in MGS games are voiced by Akio Ōtsuka since the very first game on PS1. Japanese treats voice acting work and seiyūs (voice actors) better than in other countries.
It's still sad that Atsuko Tanaka, Bayonetta's seiyū (JP voice), has passed away year ago... 😔 @AlienX Because seiyūs aren't treated as one time nonames as in other countries. Seiyūs are more known than Japanese live-action movies actors. Some of them are part-time or full-time singers.
@Ralizah «Hopefully Valve continues holding the line, now that I'm more invested in PC as my primary platform.» GOG is better. They even have unrated patches, and you don't need to make account on MangaGamer nor JAST USA to get them. 🙂
It's annoying as hell! Censorship is evil, and sucks. I have BCRF and BLOOD DRIVE already...
Nintendo of America and Europe are pathetic.
Nintendo of Japan needs to control them, but they just doesn't care about non-Japanese Switch users, it seems.
Thankfully, I can replay my purchased GOG versions of Book of Shadows and 2U now.
@Fiq_Strife Even Switch 1 can handle them. The thing is, single-player games aren't interesting for Rockstar. Rockstar couldn't milk Switch port of GTA IV. As for GTA V – it's too late for Switch 1/2 port, since they have VI in development, and will shift their priorities from GTA V Online to VI Online, after releasing the game.
If you know that the game is difficult, just don't buy and don't play it. I hate roguelikes/roguelites, don't buy them, and don't play them. It's simple, I guess.
@the_beaver «How can you buy SO MANY games» It's not that hard to buy new games, beat them, and move on to the new ones, you know. If you're not some Steam user who buys games on sale and never plays them at all. Or some roguelike/open world game/gachya/online games addict.
@Solid_Python I'm expecting 60FPS in games on newconsole in general.
Also, Nintendo themselves marketed Switch 2 as a more cool and mighty console.
Yet its screen is worse than Switch 1's one, lol.

Re: Talking Point: Does It Bother You That Big Games Companies Are Using GenAI?
If the game with an AI use costs 70 bucks (hello Call of Duty, Battlefield), it's a crime against gamers and we shall not tolerate it.
Re: Vince Zampella, Call Of Duty Co-Creator And Respawn Head, Has Died
Thanks for the very first Call of Duty game.
The first and the best one, imo.
Re: Dispatch Switch 2 And Switch - Frame Rate And Resolution Revealed
Consistent 720p in handheld mode, I hope.
It's an interactive cartoon, after all...
Re: Toby Fox Shares Development Update On Deltarune Chapter 5
We'll get Deltarune full release before Katana ZERO's DLC, I'm sure of this.
Re: Mini Review: Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Great Upgrade That Misses A Few Wins
Why only 30FPS in handheld mode? That's stupid.
Re: Resident Evil Fans Are Convinced Another Veteran Character Is In Requiem
Well, not all materials that featured in trailers can appear in the final game.
Look at how many things BIOHAZARD REV1 trailers had, and how much things were cut/changed in the final release.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Expansion Coming 2026, Hollow Knight: Switch 2 Edition Also Announced
@LazyDaisy Well, we got Silksong after all these years, at least.
The same cannot be said about Katana ZERO's DLC that more looks like a vaporware than an actual work in development.
Re: Leon And Grace's Screen Time Will Be "Equally Split" In Resident Evil Requiem
I hope that HUNK will make a cool comeback...
Re: Xbox Is Bringing Another Game To Switch 2 In Spring 2026
It's not Call of Duty, Rare Replay, nor Halo...
Re: Random: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Wins GameStop's "Worst Game Of The Year" Award
Quite deserved. If it was free...

Re: R-Type Dimensions III Blasts Its Way Onto Switch Consoles Next May
@RushDawg It was delayed (again) to 2026.
Re: R-Type Dimensions III Blasts Its Way Onto Switch Consoles Next May
They're ready to do anything but R-Type Tactics remakes?
Re: Mini Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (Switch 2) - Just Hugely Disappointing
Loyal Todd Howard/Skyrim fans will buy it, anyway.
Re: Leon Kennedy Is Confirmed For Resident Evil Requiem Via PSN Store Image
I'd rather Quint Ketchum and Keith Lumley, but oh well...
Re: Metroid Prime 4 On Switch 1 Impresses Digital Foundry - "Nigh-Imperceptible Dips"
@HammerKirby Maybe to promote Switch 2 version more? Lol.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 On Switch 1 Impresses Digital Foundry - "Nigh-Imperceptible Dips"
So, it's 504p and 576p across both handheld and docked modes, or not? 🧐
Re: Katsuhiro Harada Announces Departure From Bandai Namco
T7 and T8 were disappointing, so it's probably for the best, and for Harada himself too.
Re: Community: It's Time To Rate Your Switch 1 & 2 Games Of The Year
Nothing, probably. CAPCOM FIGHTING COLLECTION 2 was a close one, tho.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Credits Reveal A Plethora Of Assist Devs, Including Next Level Games
@TrueBlueYoshi Well, Snakes in MGS games are voiced by Akio Ōtsuka since the very first game on PS1.
Japanese treats voice acting work and seiyūs (voice actors) better than in other countries.
Re: Jennifer Hale Says She Was "Thrown Under The Bus" Amid Bayonetta 3 Casting Controversy
It's still sad that Atsuko Tanaka, Bayonetta's seiyū (JP voice), has passed away year ago... 😔
@AlienX Because seiyūs aren't treated as one time nonames as in other countries. Seiyūs are more known than Japanese live-action movies actors. Some of them are part-time or full-time singers.
Re: Random: Timesplitters: Rewind Is An Ultra-Slick Fan-Made Tribute That's Got Us In GameCube FPS Mode
Fans do for free what companies doesn't even for money.
Classic.
Re: Mini Review: Morsels (Switch) - A Punishing, Obscure, But Thoroughly Entertaining Roguelite Dungeon Crawler
Another Nuclear Throne like, huh.
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2 Job Listing Shows There's Signs Of Life In The Old Hog Yet
After 17 years and without any public demo... It's just a non existent game, lol.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem's Switch 2 Physical Release Includes A Lenticular Edition
Broken building looks cooler, imo.
Also, that Deluxe Edition box art is lame.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - SNES Classic Mini Console
NA SNES looks so ugly, lol. At least NA cartridges are better than PAL/JP ones.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's File Size On Switch 2 Is Making Us Sweat
Haha, lol.
Switch 2's base memory capacity is 256GB, right? Funny.
Re: Sorry Xillia 2, 'Tales Of Berseria' Is The Next Remaster From Bandai Namco
Lol. They want to remaster all PS3/XBOX 360/Wii Tales of titles, huh?
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Almost Had Mouse Controls, But It "Confused" The Gameplay
So PC version will be controller-only? 😁
Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled
@Ralizah «Hopefully Valve continues holding the line, now that I'm more invested in PC as my primary platform.»
GOG is better. They even have unrated patches, and you don't need to make account on MangaGamer nor JAST USA to get them. 🙂
Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled
@calbeau Yet 1st and 4th games were released just fine before, years ago.
So why they aren't banned and removed, huh?
Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled
It's annoying as hell! Censorship is evil, and sucks. I have BCRF and BLOOD DRIVE already...

Re: Red Dead Redemption Has Been Rated For The Switch 2
@Fiq_Strife Even Switch 1 can handle them.
The thing is, single-player games aren't interesting for Rockstar. Rockstar couldn't milk Switch port of GTA IV. As for GTA V – it's too late for Switch 1/2 port, since they have VI in development, and will shift their priorities from GTA V Online to VI Online, after releasing the game.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Reveals "Peculiar" New Forms In Extended 10-Minute Trailer
Insert comment about game key-cards here.
Re: Random: Steam's Brand New Game Console Sure Looks Awfully Familiar
@Nep-Nep-Freak Yep, even Saya no Uta... 😁
Re: Roguelike 'Wizard Of Legend 2' Magics Up Switch Release Date
@TheWokesterGamer Lol, it's not vague. Roguelike/roguelite is a genre.
Re: Level-5 Shows Off The First 30 Minutes Of Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road
@Dimjimmer Cough-cough
Level-5's Ushiro.
Katana ZERO's DLC.
Beyond Good & Evil 2.
Re: Roguelike 'Wizard Of Legend 2' Magics Up Switch Release Date
Every 2nd indie game is a roguelike/roguelite, while every 3rd indie game is a metroidvania, lol.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
Lol. Since it's a Pokémon game, it will sell million units anyway, sadly.
Re: Reggie Is "Surprised" We Haven't Seen More Xbox Titles On Switch 2
No Halo and no Call of Duty.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Update Announced, Here Are The Patch Notes
If you know that the game is difficult, just don't buy and don't play it.
I hate roguelikes/roguelites, don't buy them, and don't play them.
It's simple, I guess.
Re: After Years Of Delays, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Finally Has A 'Final' Trailer
Ushiro was announced back in 2018 too, and where it is now? Nowhere. Level-5 forgot that they have announced it...
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@Darthroseman Nintendo is afraid of them, I guess.
They announced Switch 1 port of Genshin years ago, and it's been a vaporware since then.
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@dskatter It is a portable gaming device, tho...
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@jsty3105 Laptops on Windows? Lol.
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@Solid_Python Nope, lol. But it's funny to read every review mentioning either locked 30FPS, performance issues, or both.
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@the_beaver «How can you buy SO MANY games»
It's not that hard to buy new games, beat them, and move on to the new ones, you know.
