There is some other bizarre WTF worthy quotes in the article as well:
She’s gonna wish she did. There’s a lot of sand where she’s fighting.
Well...it is, but not in a way anyone should really be up in arms about. It should be considered no more outrageous than nude mods for any other game. I downloaded a topless Blue Mary for Mugen when I was 13, and this is basically the same shit. It’s stupid, and it objectifies the female characters of the game even…
I mean, the moment they asked players not to do that, the Steam forums were flooded by users saying, “THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HAPPENING NOW.”
Which makes Team Ninja’s request for the mods to stay moral, literally, one of the funniest fucking requests I’ve seen made. And arguably the most hopeless of them all.
TheKillerBeeReplayTeam should have gone further and added that the original name of Bust-A-Move (bubble puzzle game) was called “Puzzle Bobble”. Not sure why this name was changed since it was a pun of the original game it spun off of, “Bubble Bobble”
for example, in the UK, Michelangelo’s nunchaku were edited out completely and replaced with a grappling hook beyond season three.
Europe collectively flipped its shit over the 80’s ninja craze, and immediately set out to ban anything vaguely ninja related, like nunchaku, cheap swords, and throwing stars, because they were sure the misguided youth would latch on to them and become an unstoppable killing force.
Not a 'change' per say, but c'mon.... we see what you did there Konami ;)
Did you really forget Biohazard aka Resident Evil? From what I remember they couldn't use the original Japanese name because of the metal band Biohazard... not sure if that's true.
Bionic Commando was Hitler’s Revival: Top Secret in Japan.
After the failure of Mortal Kombat Total Bummer, I can see why they wanted to change the French name of Deception.
I laughed when you called video game Youtubers “creatives”.
Chitterlings is made by yankees. Chitlins is made by kind southerly folk who use gravy on cake.
Then again people will be screaming racism if you give a character too big a nose or lips. It's a real lose-lose situation :P.
I highly commend Harada and the Tekken team for trying to incorporate characters from all around the world. I mean when is the last time anyone ever heard of a fictional game character from the Philippines? That's freggin' awesome. That being said, however, I get the constructive critique and Namco should be all ears…
It's a difficult one, as a parent myself I've identified that a large number of games I own are all mature rating due to violence and swears.
