    1. They ruined this game it’s ridiculously censored.

      Update: called Nintendo told them it was not stated that this game would be heavily censored and they offered me a refund no problem.

      I get the censoring. What i don’t understand is the game being released only in the censored version. Is this really the case? Because if so, i’ll be very pissed off. I bought the pre order and downloaded it already, so i can’t even cancel the purchase. This kind of shit should be informed beforehand.

    3. Not informing people of censorship when it’s a game available elsewhere, thus leading people into believing the content is the same, is scumbag behaviour.

      I bought it and had no idea was censored. Feel scammed.

      EDIT: just got a refund! Bought on presale because of the discount, btw.

    5. I honestly doubt that the censorship is Nintendo’s fault, I think it’s the devs just being hyper-vigilant. Nintendo hardcore advertised and pushed Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2, and you can see full on nudity within like three minutes of opening the game plus a ton of sex scenes throughout and heavy language.

    6. I have seen a lot of talks about censoring. What kind of censoring are we talking about here? I want to get this so I want to know if this is gonna be a dealbreaker or not, thanks 😀

    7. I don’t understand why it’s being censored when Switch has way worse stuff on it. They’re censoring middle fingers! Go play Outlast 2 and wonder how half of that game made it on Switch.

    8. Heads up to anyone who preordered – you can go to their live chat support and request a refund. Doesn’t take very long. Just did it and maybe took about 5-10 mins. Have your switch serial code ready

    9. bummer. i would have bought this uncensored. looks fun but i don’t believe in censorship. save it for the nazis

    10. I definitely feel scammed if this is censored. There was nothing in the description on the eShop page to indicate that this would be a censored version when I preordered.

      I would have thought that after Cyberpunk was released completely uncensored that this would not be an issue. Because of that I do wonder if this was a publisher decision rather than Nintendo’s considering how much Nintendo themselves pushed Cyberpunk at the launch of the Switch 2.

      Update: Apparently AdHoc released a statement that seems to imply that this was a Nintendo decision and not theirs. I wonder if Nintendo is aware then of what’s in Cyberpunk, GTA, Witcher 3, LA Noire, etc. if they all of a sudden have a problem with it now

    11. Shame. Shame on Nintendo and Ad Hoc. Ad Hoc for making the cuts, and Nintendo for asking for them, given other titles that are unedited in the Switch library.

      If I have to give my age on the nintendo eshop to see the title, let alone buy it, it is ridiculous to then modify the game content further.

      According to Switch Up, audio is also censored. Fuck this. Just going to buy on my handheld PC

      Glad I bought this on PS5 instead of waiting for Switch 2. It would’ve been fun to play this game portable though :/.

    14. Do we actually know if Nintendo or AdHoc were the ones who chose to censor the game?

      I would be surprised if it was Nintendo since there were some Dead and Alive games and stuff that released censored on Playstation and not censored on Switch 1. But also maybe Nintendo’s changed since then, not sure

    15. I was able to get a refund through chat on Nintendo’s website. I have not launched the game. They did give me the ‘normally we don’t do this spiel’ but I got an email confirmation about my refund. Crazy they wouldn’t mention this prior to release. Nintendo must know they fucked up based on all the comments of people getting refunds without issue.

      This is going to dominate discussion of the games launch on the Switch and crater its sales. And all for nothing. A dumb decision by Nintendo and an even dumber decision by the devs to hide it till now

      Was excited about this. Absolutely will not be buying it because of the censorship. This sours me from getting it anywhere else too if I’m being honest.

    18. Cyberpunk is okay but this isn’t? I don’t get it. This seems like a massive mistake on Nintendo’s part.

    19. What are the chances that AdHoc/Nintendo will patch in the censorship toggle if enough people complain about it?

      Gets censored, yet there is Hentai puzzle master 69 on the front page of the eShop

    21. ChaossssMark666 on

      I would be very interested to know, after a couple of weeks, the amount of cancelled preorders vs purchases after they announced the censorship.

      Would make for an interesting discussion for the future.

    22. Pretty shady behavior by the developer. They could’ve informed people before release that the Switch version would be censored. Instead, they wait until the date of release for people to find out.

      And this IS on AdHoc, not Nintendo. Sure, they were following Nintendo’s content guidelines. But it’s on AdHoc to communicate when their game isn’t going to match expectations.

    23. I hope Nintendo takes note AND respects why this title does not sell well on their console vs the competition then.

      That being said I’m very confused. For those in the know it’s usually Sony who’s more strict.

      And if people are comparing 1st party titles of Sony and Nintendo games then you don’t know what I mean.

    24. Hot take, depending on what’s being censored, the game could use it. I’m not averse to swearing, I swear like a sailor, but Jesus Christ the game took it to completely unnecessary levels and could’ve done with an editor imo often felt like the dialogue boiled down to “Look at his fucking cock and fucking balls fucking the fucking fuckers with its tits and ass and shit”.

      Edit: make it toggleable tho and add that toggle to PC

      Edit 2: oh the censored the stupid shit I don’t care about instead of giving a slightly toned down dialogue. Lame
