Didn't Nintendo awhile back said they won't do censorship on their console as compared to Sony and Microsoft?

We should use this thread for active discussion and testing of what we can do with the Switch version now. What's done is done by Atlus/Nintendo at this point.

I can potentially test but I haven't gotten my copy of the game yet. Once I do and go through it I will try to provide saves where needed.

I ordered one from amazon, I just don't use prime though so I'm probably not going to get it until next week.

Hello, I'm a 3D artist, I could help fix the models or textures if anyone can export them and re-import them (In less than a thousand pieces hopefully), but the censorship is so extensive that if the Wii U patch worked that would be a Godsend.

BTW you can find me on Steam by the same name or on Discord Zeriel#2818

head over to https://discord.gg/eR428vF people are working on it there

Is there any reason content wise to play this version over the Wii U one?
Not really. The EX dungeons are essentially only there to unlock costumes that were previously DLC + the 3 new ones and to get the NPCs to jump in during sessions. It has some QOL improvements like cutting down load times to 1/3rd of what they used to be and quick sessions. If loading times don't bother you there's no reason to get this version over the Wii U one if you already played it.

Doesn't seem worth it to me then, is there not any additional story content (like sidquests)?

Can anyone post a clear save file so i can use it to enter NG+ and get all the content?
I hate it when games NG+ lock shit, and TMS is no exception.

well lunatic mode is NG+ only, you can't play it on a first playthrough, and you can't play it without being forced to carry over shops.
unless were going by some weird definition of NG+, its NG+ only.

Is there still a way we can help out even if we don't have modded Switches? I'd like to help get this game uncensored, but I dunno how much use I'll be since I don't have a modded Switch. Mine unfortunately has the newer firmware.

Off Topic:The problem of censorship does not seem to come from entertainment companies, I think they are Japanese government policies. I am going to give an example of a game that is not going to appear on Nintendo Switch for now. The Sword Art Online game that its based on the Alicization arc of the novel and anime also has its censorship, for example, in a trailer, it is shown that Quinella has clothes, while the same scene in the anime, Quinella is naked.

The Japanese games ratings board (CERO) forbids nipples and genitals in console games, it's why eroge have the sex scenes removed when ported to consoles, and western games that have nudity get censored for the Japanese localization. They put Quinella in clothes because there's not really any way to avoid showing her nipples/crotch in a game with free camera movement, unlike the anime.

There's nothing in this game that would require censorship, it's just a case of Nintendo deciding to base the Switch version on the western Wii U release because it was the most up to date release in terms of bug fixes and wanting to do one global version of the game instead of multiple. When games with fanservice are censored on PS4 but not Switch (ie: Super Neptunia RPG, etc.) it's just because of Sony's new policies they implemented the last year and a half or so.
