Prepare a truckload of salt before reading this, because you’re going to need more than a few grains.
In a relatively short time, Generation VI's Ninja Pokémon has become wildly popular, outpacing nearly 900 other Pokemon.
While some Smash fans may have hoped for a more recognizable character, Super Smash Bros. as a whole has borrowed so much from SNK games that Terry is a natural fit. In fact, an SNK character probably should have been included much earlier.
Super Smash Bros. didn’t just emerge, fully formed, as a way for Nintendo to keep contemporary characters in the front of our minds while introducing newer players to classic characters, games, and even music. The series owes a lot to SNK, and The King of Fighters.
When Super Smash Bros. Creator, Masahiro Sakurai, showcased Smash Ultimate's latest guest fighter, Terry Bogard, he brought up the fact that one of Fatal Fury's most popular characters, Mai Shiranui, would not be making an appearance in the game at all and alluded to her sexual nature as the main reason.
It turns out that Sakurai and his team had a bit of a back and forth with CERO during the development of Super Smash Bros. for Wii-U circa 2012 as the rating organization actually asked the Smash team to turn female characters upside down for panty shot angles.
Well now it makes sense why some of the character clothes in smash Bros was changed
Censors? CERO isn't a censorship organization. It's a rating board and it's no more censors than the ESRB.
They don't ask you to censor your game. They give you a rating depending on its content, no more, no less. If you want a lower rating than what you're given, that's on you.
Stop playing dumb lol.
You know Nintendo is aiming for a low board rating so they have to censor to get it based on what the board deems reason to raise it
@Teflon02: I'm well aware, but that's on Nintendo. They have the freedom to keep the content intact and accept a higher rating. It doesn't make CERO into "censors" in any shape or form.
That's simply not what a rating board is. Censors dictate content. A rating board does not. It assigns a rating based on the existing content.
Yeah, I'm not seeing the issue with them asking to see if characters actually have underwear modeled. That would actually be reason to give the game a higher age rating. If Sakurai included them and Nintendo then removed them to achieve a lower age rating that would've made Nintendo the censors.
A rating board has every right to ask for this to accurately rate the game.
Let's be honest, a game won't be sold by retailers in the US if it has an AO rating, they have power over the industry, even if they're only a "rating board".
That's completely unrelated, and the rating board still does not require any change to the content. The developer has full freedom to distribute the game via other means.
Calling a rating board "censors" couldn't be less accurate. That's simply not their job.
Ratings Org can shift around elements and the ratings they garner. Im not saying that was done here but it's heen done in the US feature films and the MPAA.
That would be an interesting job duty, even if it’s in the name of censorship. Someone was literally paid to do a panty check on female characters, lulz.
It's not in the name of censorship. It's in the name of not giving a CERO A rating (All ages) to a game that doesn't fit its content guidelines.
It’s still dumb no matter what you call it. Equestria Girl dolls have panties. Are those not child-friendly? Besides, in talking about Japan, you don’t want to know what CoroCoro comics get away with. A panty shot or two might as well be CERO A.
Games will show muscle men's nips, but God forbid a quick glimpse of princess Peach's vagina. Hypocrisy!!!
Eh, keep Ghirahim out of the game. Ganondorf is a much better character. Speaking of which, give ganondorf some of his own damn moves, why did they have to copy cpt. Falcon's moves for him?
The source is completely bogus. The author must be desperate for hits if he's going to just quote a random post in GameFAQs
A Nintendo Direct about the game in a month, yes please.
Little Mac & Takamaru, sounds nice.
K. Rool, I could care less, but that new DKC, absolutly.
Ridley, heh, maybe, he seems like he'd be too big.
Shulk, who's that?, Ghirihm, no thanks, Dillion, yeah.
Platinum Games, they haven't made anything I care about.
Yoshi character who debuts in YLWU, that'll work, Kamek or Shy Guy, also good idea.
Those stages sound cool, but maybe do Raisin Ruins instead of Cookie Country.
Also, Namco, you NEED to make Pac-Man playable. You NEED to!
Samus should have her fusion costume as an alternate costume
Ridley? Krool doesn't surprise me but Ridley is a questionable concept.
Would be freaking awesome if true but they are in for a big challenge to make him playable. I can imagine specific missions, or modes or something but how would he play?
