Nintendo 3DS gets ‘mature’ game

Xbigygames says: People always complain that Nintendo don’t get any ‘mature’ games. The family friendly company don’t usually get their hands too dirty. Developers of violent or smutty games usually see their titles fall into a great black hole if released on a Ninty console.

This may all change with the release of Senran Kagura on the 3DS.

Hahaha, they refuse to let Binding of Isaac on their system, but allow this? XD

Game3s4453d ago

Nintendo decline the Binding of Isaac because it had "Questionable religious content" - so to avoid those religious nutcases they declined.

Well this was released only in japan and their rules of censorship is a lot more lenient than what we have in the west.The Binding of Isaac probably would be ok in japan if it was released there.

But like Game3s said religious content is a lot more difficult to get pass censorship in the west than scantily clad 'young' girls.

Pokemon_Master4453d ago

people complain falsely about that

HoneyBadger4453d ago

I agree, they thought Binding Of Isaac was too much but this is ok?

ronin4life4453d ago

The binding of isaac had direct mentions and representations to a major real life religion, which nintendo has always tried to avoid.

StraightPath4453d ago

Madworld is one of the most violent game ever..i think its false to.claim.nintendo dont have mature games...

Xbigygames4453d ago (Edited 4453d ago )

Agreed. As I said in the article 'People always complain'. The Wii has some quality games that aren't made for kiddies. Okami, No More Heroes and Res Steel also come to mind. Still compared to other consoles it is lacking...

Damn China not freaking playing idk if this good or bad.

LOGICWINS1463d ago

Can you explain for the laymen (me) why this is bad?

LightofDarkness1463d ago

Chinese censorship laws forbid a great deal of content and subject matter that western and Japanese markets are accustomed to.

No amount of money is worth selling out to the Chinese in an industry where they censor things so badly that there is only like 10 games available on the Chinese Playstation store.

Rangerman12081463d ago

That reminds me of the time they banned Devotion from Steam just for a winnie the pooh easter egg.

TheColbertinator1462d ago

It turns out the world's most powerful Communist autocrat is just a snowflake.

rainslacker1462d ago

Tencent owns so much of the industry now, and they don't censor games outside of China beyond what is done because of these crazy standards which localization companies, or console makers, or publishers themselves would do otherwise.

It's also not like Marvelous and Xseed haven't been criticized heavily for censoring their games outside Japan for quite some time now anyways.

yellowgerbil1462d ago

What you said amounts to one of those crazy women trying to marry a serial killer behind bars, "I know he hurt other women, but he hasn't hurt me so I love him".

rainslacker1462d ago

And how has Tencent hurt you, or what have they done that has you concerned?

Seems that might be worth mentioning, because otherwise, what you said originally amounts to, "I have no reason to hate them except they're Chinese, and I'm irrational." I mean, unless you are talking about that extremely exaggerated example you gave, which isn't true, and the censorship has more to do with local requirements more than it does Tencent doing it.

I know there are things out there you could cite, because I'm well aware of who Tencent is, and what they've done, but most of that is within China itself.

yellowgerbil1462d ago

let me ask you this. Would you support Microsoft or Sony if they had ties to the kkk? Would you support Nintendo if they had ties to Isis? Would you support Rockstar if it had ties to Scientology?
Probably not, same goes for a company owned by the Chinese government. Have nothing against Chinese people, but their government and by extension the companies within its borders, yeah.

RazzerRedux1462d ago

@yellowgerbil

lol....Microsoft and Sony already have a ton of ties to the Chinese government.

rainslacker1461d ago

Probably not, but realistically, I'm sure you can find investors in any major company that have ties to some screwed up organization. Tencent is a privately held company in China. They tow the communist china line because they have to, and may have a vested interest in doing so. I dunno.

But, my philosophical ideals against blatant hatred or offensive groups is a lot different than my views on companies that operate within political regimes that I dont agree with.

I dont have anything against the companies within china. If you can show something that supports that they are directly linked to the chinese government, either completely controlled by, or they control the government, then by all means, I'm willing to hear it.

This is disappointing news, because I try to stay away from Tencent.

Cmv381463d ago

at this rate it'll be easier to stay away from oxygen

Double_O_Revan1462d ago

Sorry to say, but they bought that too.

ifrit_caress1463d ago

Any breathing human being should stay away from Tencent.

Rangerman12081463d ago

At this point, the entire gaming industry is just gonna be a battle of Tencent and NetEase on "who can own the most studios".
