After Cyberpunk 2077 came to Switch 2 uncensored, Dispatch dev thought it “would be allowed to do the same” and is now “working with Nintendo on a path forward”

I think everyone thought dispatch would also be allowed to do the same

Even Nintendo is saying they’re allowed. Really weird situation where nobody is owning up.

Cyberpunk 2077 has made a lot of money and is from a larger studio, I think they were given a hall pass.

Except it didn’t. Cyberpunk *is* censored in Japan. The Dispatch devs don’t feel like making a jp/na version split, got called out, and are now backpedaling.

This whole story is weird and dumb. I was considering buying this game but now I’ll wait for a patch.

If the speculation that this is a Japanese rating board issue is correct, surely the easiest solution at this point is to just list the uncensored version as free DLC and just don’t release it in Japan?

So what is the PlayStation version like? I assume it’s uncensored, and I assume it’s available in the Japanese store. So how does that work?

CERO, that is the rating system AdHoc is talking about. They submitted that copy for the ESRB.
Had they submitted the original PS5 copy to the ESRB it would have been rated M and allowed.
This is proven not just through Cyberpunk and The Witcher 3, but by the fact that Nintendo has allowed nudity in the hentai puzzle games, and other games such as 20 ladies, while Playstation did not allow it.
None of what Adhoc says makes sense unless it is talking about Nintendo Japan and the CERO rating system.
CERO would have given the game an Adult rating which would only allow Adult shops in Japan supply the game and make it harder to find on the Japan shop.
