Nintendo loves penises and butts

Thread title "Nintendo loves penises and butts" I thought they loved money? I've learned something today.

That's not a butt

Nintendo is well-known for censoring games, at least NoA is. It's an on-going process that started in the NES days - NoA wants Nintendo platforms to appear child-friendly, religion-neutral and refrain from any sexual or drug/alcohol/smoking-related content.

I mean, they removed nipples from statues in Castlevania, they removed cigarettes from some enemy sprites in Earthbound, they removed a cross from a hospital not to reference Christianity as well - they've done things far weirder than covering buttocks.

I suddenly have a mental picture:


Bayonetta 2 in Europe:

Bayonetta 2 in America:

(BTW that butt shot is fanservice DLC, not something you normally see in the game)
In the US and Japanese versions of FE:A there's a conversation about soft bouncy boobs. In the EU game it was replaced with hair instead, seems like things are more censored over here. The opposite to what taleweaver is suggesting.

Removal of the red cross isn't religion related, it's a copyrighted logo they didn't have the rights to.
Castlevania has always used Christians symbols without a problem.

I see, I see. How... odd. I was not aware that you can randomly copyright a widely-accepted symbol used on hospitals. (Yes, I now know the organization in question was the Red Cross)
