Censorship gaming uploaded a very very short video on Smash Ultimate's censorship, and even mention Sakurai's comments on it which was awesome.
Before I go with my thought I need to put this foremost the following essays are just merely my own thoughts, that I'm not saying there's should be zero censorship on video games, there are censorships that are indeed necessary such as those that are related to religion, history, politics etc. But censorships like we see here and also in games back in Wii U days were just absurd in my opinion.
This video's title pretty much justify my "rant" or hot take that I personally think Smash Bros Ultimate shouldn't be E10+, or stick to a rating that's suitable for everyone.
And even a more further hot take,
I don't even think any fighting game should be rated E10, or to put it simple... I don't think fighting games is a game/genre that's for kids in general. Because in fighting games, what you do is well... fighting people, punching each other... thus fighting games has be notorious for being a scapegoat for school bullying, kid being aggressive etc. Nevertheless, I get that Nintendo doesn't want their main IP characters like Mario, Link, Kirby, Inkling and Pikachu etc in a T rated game, and they want Smash to be appeal to more people... but let's face it, when you have a fighting game that has characters that are more familiar to the ones like us who were born in the mid 90s, it doesn't make much sense to lower the rating again, i my opinion.
The video did mention about Mythra, and I have already give my thoughts about this but here's a total rundown and to the video:
I don't agree with the video saying that Mythra censored version got a lot of praise... initially... when it was first discover via leaks a lot were either bumbed or just not surprised... and have some call the censorship a cheap edit.
It wasn't until Monolithsoft put the outfit in as OPTIONAL in XC2 where it got a lot of praise, not only because it really looks good in the game, the outfits gives her a very very good Aux cores. Minor downgrade is just that some scenes don't make too much sense in that outfit lol. And because of this not sure why you have some say they want that outfit to be "cannon" lol.
Just curious, what are your thoughts on this, and Sakurai's comment? This shows that there's ZERO Japanese developers and designers that are ok with their designs changed or being censored, at least this is how I see, maybe there are but not many I think...
