Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled

@Vyacheslav333 I don't know. I don't work for Nintendo nor have an uncle who works there. Go ask them about it.

I'm just a guy with an article opinion. That opinion is that game companies should draw the line with some content, particularly when they involve underage inappropriateness. That opinion is apparently an unpopular one these days. Oh, how society has changed.

How accurately Nintendo enforces that is something I have no control over, despite the seemingly popular belief in this comment section that I do.

@topsekret "You're defending Nintendo banning all these games and claiming that anyone against it is not a "decent person," so yes, I'll challenge you on that."

Perhaps challenge me on that if that was exactly what I was defending?

My comment was "if the underage fan-service really is the reason for this cancellation." Notice the use of the words "if" and "really" to suggest conditions to my agreement.

Take it up with Nintendo if they really are making broad, sweeping censorship decisions without regard for actual content, but if they really are doing it to correctly prevent inappropriate underage depictions from their shop, then I'm all for that.

@topsekret I don't recall ever claiming the title of "Receiver of All of Nintendo's Censorship Complaints." I was commenting about this article's particular topic, so I have no idea why your ire is directed my way for a shmup I have never heard of.

"pro-censorship in the name of 'saving the children...'"

I'm genuinely interested in hearing the defense against "saving the children." As a dad of two young gamers, if I were to hypothetically be "pro-censorship" on just one thing, I would rather it be about this than anything else.

@Gamer83 "The fanservice haters want it gone altogether, which is pathetic when they could just avoid it and let people who don't mind, enjoy those games."

This compromise would probably work for other issues, but the "people who don't mind" underage fan-service have no acceptable defense for their taste and are better off not being provided a way to indulge in it by any video game company.

Re: Nintendo UK's Holiday Switch 2 Ads Are Another Raye Of Sunshine

@SuntannedDuck2 You seem angry and needlessly sad at the same time. We're a group of Nintendo fans who will happily console a fellow fan experiencing issues. We all go through rough times, but I know you can get through this. Virtual pats on the back for you, friend.

Don't worry, I'll watch the heartwarming Nintendo ad a few more times just for you, and will dedicate the added views to you. Cheer up!

Re: Talking Point: When Did 'Good Enough' Become Good Enough For Pokémon?

As an avid breeder and NatDex collector, Sun/Moon and their Ultra-sequels were the peak of great Pokemon gaming for me, starting from the Game Boy games.

Then I played Shield, which destroyed the game for me. They lost me as a customer then.

They really need to get their act together with the series, though I doubt they ever will.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time

Big Super Mario fan since the first game, but never got to play the games at release and was on the fence with Super Mario 3D All-Stars until it disappeared from store shelves, so this is a worthy purchase, price be damned. My two children and I cheered when they revealed this on the Direct, and I'm glad I'll get to experience it with them for the first time.
