Why are they censoring this but there’s hentai games on switch
The-Evil-Dead-Alive-
Well this went from a day 1 buy to a PS5 buy. So much for waiting.
Kbrito9
Thank god I didn’t buy it

How is this censored and cyberpunk isn’t?
Apex_Konchu
Seriously? Usually PlayStation is the platform that ends up with a censored version.
Also, Cyberpunk 2077 is uncensored on Switch, so why is it different with this game?

What’s odd is games have been left uncensored in the past on switch but censored on ps5. Guess Nintendo isn’t happy with this one.
KaiserJustice
honestly… just curious what was censored – assuming the dream scene
Eggxcalibur
PS5 version it is, then.

Can I refund the preorder?
EDIT: I talked to a Nintendo support person who had mercy on me and I’m getting it refunded.

But… The option was there in the original release! Why is it gonna be like this? There’s already ratings and plenty of information online regarding the mature content of the game. Irresponsible guardians shouldn’t be something for the devs to take care of.
dbuck79
Absolutely ridiculous. Was going to double dip on switch, but won’t be buying it now
TWKcub
Cool dick.
deliciousdeciduous
I would not have preordered this.
Bootychomper23
Guess I’ll skip… kinda lame was going to get it
kaminari1
Looks like I’m not playing it then.
If Nintendo can allow all those trash hentai games AND have Cyberpunk on its console, they can allow this uncensored.

I hope people who preorder it got their refund if they are bothered by it. Isn’t this an M-rated game? It is incredibly deceptive if it is.
GrouchyMembership876
Damn it and I had already bought it, thats not fair. They deliberately only first said it on launch day, that is so scummy for people who had preordered. Im so mad, I would’ve gotten it elsewhere
thickwonga
Is it like, actually censored? I thought it was just the swimming cover art?
nuovian
Need more information: is it censored in all regions or just North America? I’m specifically asking because the Deluxe Edition art was censored on the NA eShop but not elsewhere
PhunkyPhazon
Really annoyed that they chose not to mention this until release day. I pre-ordered and now it’s too late to cancel and get it on a different platform.
EDIT: I contacted Nintendo’s online support and was able to get a refund. I recommend anyone else who pre-ordered and feels the same way to get in touch with them.

Are we talking about the same platform that gets dozens of hentai games monthly ?

Sometimes this is only for the digital version and a later physical version is uncensored. Especially if the physical version only releases in South East Asia ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Alasdair91
Well, that’s solidified my decision to buy in Steam then. Stupid Nintendo. Let adults decide what they want to view or not view.
satur9ine
Just don’t buy it on Nintendo Switch. Send a message that this isn’t acceptable.
gate_of_steiner85
This can’t be a Nintendo thing, right? Games like Cyberpunk and Witcher contain nudity and aren’t censored on the Switch. Not sure why this game would be singled out unless there’s more to it.
Knarksafari
”Reject and subscribe”-cookies should be illegal. Fuck Eurogamer.
RaidTheBorder
Crazy how there’s sex scenes and complete nudity in Cyberpunk but this has to be censored 🥴
Square_Maximum_5878
that sucks, i was definitely going to double dip, no point now
thewwwyzzerdd
Wow what a disappointment. I was stoked to by this for my switch 2
Tomawolf
Oh. Bummer. I wont buy a censored game.
Cyberpunk is on Switch. Was that censored?

>The core narrative and gameplay experience remains identical
No, it doesn’t. The strong themes, language and scenes were designed and made for a purpose. Its not just shock value or raunchy bits, its about taking the player on a journey with the characters and their personalities.
Censoring takes away from those boundaries that players get to explore and feel in the uncensored version. That alone segregates the overall player base and makes them feel like they’re missing out, even if whats being sensored is something as small as an explicit scene. This was a priority that Larian tackled with Sony when bringing BG3 to PS5 from PC. They did not want a split experience. They also brought that same mentality in console modding which is why both PS5 and Xbox have the same content available regardless of external asset usage.
Even if anyone disregards everything above, that still leaves what others are saying. Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher are on the switch unsensored
aSlider64
This is incredibly stupid
They had options in the game
Just make the options pop up before starting, or a warning would suffice
Shmyukumuku
Yeah there can’t be anything here but pure desire for wider Switch reach. Mature games exist on the platform already.
mason2393
The eshop is flooded with hentai slop but dispatch is where nintendo draws the line. Smh
twili-midna
Nintendo policies have nothing to do with this, given Cyberpunk is on Switch 2 with full nudity and scenes. This feels like a developer trying to get out of doing work.
EvenSpoonier
This seems strange on a platform where like 10% of the Web store’s content explicitly calls itself hentai. What happened here?
Xachcen
First time I’ve asked for a refund before even booting the game. Thankfully, they granted it.
Obvious_Drink2642
But I can watch the tank scene from cyberpunk uncensored…
ElMarkuz
Welp, at least I didn’t preorder. I would love to play this on my switch 2 but I’m an grown ass man, I don’t need black bars for something so silly as a nipple. If I’m paying 30 bucks for some game that touches adult content, I’d rather have the full experience instead of dumb black bars all over the place.
Gonna buy this on my ps5. Thanks Nintendo, you really care about your adult audience.
LPMageMan
Reached out to Nintendo support and got a refund
Blocksketcher
Woooooow. Ok was originally going to pick this up today. Will no longer be buying on switch. Guess I’ll grab it on PS5 now.
Was afraid of something like this happening after the promo image was censored. It was why I held off on pre ordering.
mxracer250f
Pre-ordered it last night before this info came out and just refunded it with my one time refund through Nintendo. Pretty deceptive in my opinion to withhold this information until the day of release. I’ll buy it on PS5 instead.
ldnola22
Welp looks like I’m picking this up for legion go
breadfan0202
But henyai slop games are okay
BlackjackCounty
If you look through the eShop for 45 seconds, you’ll see why this is a bunch of shit
npc888
Cyberpunk has fully modeled nude bodies you can see anytime, and sex scenes. On Switch 2.
What is this hypocrisy?
immastillthere
Not interested in an unnecessarily censored game.
p3apod1987
Doesnt the switch have literal porn hentai games how are those fine but dispatch isn’t
Nickbronline
Does the e-shop not literally have hentai on it?
Traditional-Trip-464
I’ll bet they just wanted a lower rating, so they could sell more games.
