So I recently got wind of a game coming to America for the ps vita, Monster Monpiece. The American version is apperently censored because it was too sexual. In this very paticular case, i could not imagine them doing anything more stupid to cut sales. Sure, people will still buy it, but this is the type of game where oversexuality is a pro, not a con. This is an obscure Japanese card-based RPG. It has alot of anime traits to it making it more of an otaku thing than a mainstream game. that being said, otakus thrive on oversexuality of anime. Cosplayers everywhere where skimpy clothing all the time. Its part of the culture and censoring it is a bad move.
Censorship is not always a bad thing. Another major Japanese localization, Bravely Default, was announced to be censored. This game however, is being published by nintendo, who wants this game to be kid friendly. It for the most part was in the first place. Monster Monpiece was not. In fact Brian Ashcraft from Kotaku wrote an article titled "This Is the Most Inappropriate PS VIta Game Yet." You have to rub your cards very sexually to level up your cards. This was not censored in the localization. I ask, why censor something so clearly inappropriate at its very core? I may not buy the American version because I hate the idea of censorship, especially in a sexual game. Japan, We're as sexual as you, so please give us the good stuff too.
