Nintendo is forcing third party developers to censor their games on Nintendo platforms Anonymous 07/16/2025 (Wed) 02:55:56 No. 531003
Yesterday, IGN published an article asking Nintendo representatives about how the company plans to deal with the so-called "growing epidemic of 'slop' games" on the eShop, and the representative got a little too informative on what exactly the company's new policies are, informing the interviewer: https://archive.ph/1feBU <Many of the new guidelines discuss “sensitive content,” and include specific rules for what qualifies as sensitive content in the first place. Listed criteria that “would be considered damaging to the Nintendo brand” include sexualization of children, overly sexual content, discrimination and hate, exploitation of social issues (“Content that clearly exploits a topical and controversial social issue, tragedy, or catastrophic event”), instructing criminal activity, and political statements (“Content that overtly supports or criticizes real-life countries, organizations, or ideologies”). Nintendo states in the guidelines that it reserves the right not to distribute a game, but claims it offers the guidelines to help developers understand its reasoning in certain situations. “We encourage you to take this information into consideration when developing content for potential release on our platforms and before submitting such content to Nintendo,” the guidelines state. It also disclaims that the guidelines are not an exhaustive list, and that sometimes “determinations may be made on a regional basis.” This only further solidifies theories people have been having about how Nintendo is presently going down the same path Sony did back in 2018 with their censorship guidelines. As just like how Shuhei Yoshida stated that the company wants games for "all kinds of people" during that time: https://archive.ph/X2wGz Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser made the following statement back in April: https://archive.ph/nrYHD <We always want to attract the best talent we can and retain that talent. We also believe it’s important for that talent to be diverse in terms of their backgrounds, their experiences, and their understandings because our players are diverse. So we strive to have diversity that reflects our players in our organization. This is on top of unconfirmed reports that Nintendo of Japan is demanding for games to be censored, if not cancelled, on the Switch: https://archive.is/ApYH8#post-1477584 Reports that games on the eShop are being shadowbanned: https://archive.ph/04lJ4 And other strange policies going into place such as the obscure software region-locking of the Switch 2: https://archive.ph/I9KmI Keep in mind that this is a complete reversal of the company's policies from six years ago. Back in 2019, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa made the following declaration in response to a question about restricting content: https://archive.ph/RkxJm >Q11: Regarding restrictions on expression. Some other platforms have their own restrictions other than third-party organizations such as CERO. How about Nintendo? <A11: Nintendo entrusts a third-party organization with the task of providing objective ratings for its own products and third-party software prior to its release. If the platform operator arbitrarily chooses to do so, it would seriously impede the diversity and fairness of game software. The parental control function also allows for restrictions to be put in place. And, while I say "six years", it appears that this policy has been present since 2022/2023, given the known Switch games that have been exclusively censored, cancelled, or are entirely missing without explanation: >2022 <Hot Tentacles Shooter (Canceled) https://archive.ph/rAxny <Duel Princess (Pulled after release) <Massage Freaks (Canceled) https://archive.ph/akc2e This year is considered to be an "outlier", with some arguing that these releases should not be considered a part of Nintendo’s actions given the large span of time between them and later events. I disagree, but I wanted to make this consideration known. >2023 <Christmas Massacre (Canceled) https://archive.ph/zgN9M <Gungrave G.O.R.E. (Censored) https://archive.md/OgghW <The Fox Awaits Me Hana (International release canceled) https://archive.ph/nJYPL <Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs: The Thrilling Steamy Maze Kiwami (Censored) https://archive.ph/sbO4m >2024 <Amairo Chocolate (International release canceled) https://archive.ph/cgHH8 <Death end re;Quest: Code Z (International release canceled) <Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1/2/3 (International release canceled) https://archive.ph/u5ldz <Maid of the Dead (Censored) https://archive.md/J2tKd <Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos (Censored) https://archive.ph/KZLzO <Prison Princess: Trapped Allure (Censored) https://archive.md/RMjG3 <Redneg Allstars Swing-By Edition (International release canceled) https://archive.ph/pmkv4 <Rubber Hose Rampage (Canceled) https://archive.md/NQRMr <Sakura Melody (Canceled?) <Sakura Succubus 7 (Canceled?) https://archive.ph/9VCBD

(International release canceled?) https://archive.ph/Qk20t#selection-3435.1-3435.19 It's safe to assume that, given all this information, the Switch and the Switch 2 are not platforms that offer game creators the ability to make any game that they so desire. Gone are the days where Nintendo allowed mature titles like BMX XXX, Doki Majo Plus, Manhunt 2, Onechanbara, Conception II, Senran Kagura, Ninja Gaiden 3 RE, DoA Xtreme 3, Mugen Souls, and Seven Pirates H to exist in their platforms unmolested. Unless you're a AAA developer who can throw their weight around, as we have already seen with Cyberpunk.

>>531006 that only works if you can convince a vast majority of people to follow suit. otherwise, your protest will be a sliver of a fraction of a drop in the bucket. at any rate, times are a changing in both the game industry and the world, shit ain't like it used to be not even 10 years ago. you blame the liberals but they're just a scapegoat. the real problem is the maximization of profits. they're bigger than holllywood now and video game releases for a long time have reflected that, as appeal to the lowest common denominator is very common.

>>531009 that's kinda hard to do. for every person you manage to convince, at least 100 people will disregard what you have to say, perhaps even more than that. you'll never get the kind of traction that you'd hope for. just look at that homo piratesoftware with his stop killing games initiative. didn't work and arguably he's just clout chasing.

No, you don't, you just need to convince one person at a time. >>531010 >for every person you manage to convince, at least 100 people will disregard what you have to say Okay, don't worry about those hundred people that remain unconvinced. They made their bed, and they'll have to lie in it.

>>531011 >>531012 alright then, are we at least in agreement that nintendo should fucking die?? or at least be severely downsized so it can be humbled enough to reconsider its mistakes?????

>>531013 >are we at least in agreement that nintendo should fucking die? or at least be severely downsized so it can be humbled enough to reconsider its mistakes? No because that isn't going remove the people who pushed and approved these policies in the first place. They're just going to move onto another company and restart the entire process all over again. My "dream" scenario is the entire industry perishing with no survivors. All these companies dead and all the people involved with them blacklisted. And, yes, that is also going to harm a lot of "good" and "innocent" people. However I don't care because I'm tired of playing these games. And it's not just the vidya industry I have this mindset with.

If you really want gaming to be washed clean like a slate then keep doing the decompilations AND add multiplayer and graphical updates to them. Zoomers will not go backwards on the timeline. The latest craze is always some slop millennials to our shame have made. But if you can make old games among the best of them seem like new ones, then perhaps they might.

Gaymers are the biggest cucks. They couldn't boycott a company if their life depended on it.
