Warning: The editorial about Nintendo of America contains pixelated nudity. May very well be NSFW!
Nintendo of America somehow have become censorious. Neptunia Riders Vs Dogoos is cutting a swimsuit DLC for Switch. A Neptunia Trilogy has been cancelled in the US and Europe but is releasing in Japan. To be honest, I could care less if Nintendo censors now. It’s their platform, they can allow what they want. The problem is that a game released yesterday, 12/19/24, on the US Nintendo Switch eShop. A game called Sugoi Girls: Enchanting Elf.
Yes, its everyone’s favorite purveyor of AI-generated nudie games, Pakotime! Nintendo of America has allowed them to release a game a week on the Switch no questions asked. And they are all the same identical game, just with a different theme.
And do you know what these games contain? Nudity:
I showed that image to drive home a point. Nintendo of America are hypocrites. Yes, Neptunia bad, AI-generated trash games good. I don’t know what Nintendo’s new content guidelines are, but I’m damn sure Sugoi Girls: Enchanting Elf does not meet that criteria. But Nintendo does not care, for some reason. Pakotime releases one game with nudity a week, and doesn’t get a peep out of Nintendo, but god forbid Neptunia girls wear bathing suits.
I don’t know what else to say. Nintendo of America and really Nintendo in general are being hypocrites here. And its not just Neptunia. It’s Tokyo Clanpool by EastAsiaSoft too, among others. Nintendo has said nothing and won’t say anything, they never do. But the fact that Pakotime can run wild on Switch, while publishers like EastAsiaSoft have to censor risque titles, is appalling. If Nintendo of America were to end Pakotime’s reign of crap on the eShop, that’d be one thing. But I highly suspect they will be releasing a game a week for the far foreseeable future What a shame!
