Game pulled from Nintendo Switch online store by CERO because of poorlycensored nudity

Get it together, Nintendo.




A Chinese game from game developers Mighty Craft has led to many complaints regarding the child-friendly image which Nintendo has maintained throughout the many years that they have been producing games. The game in question, a puzzle tile game called Mahjong, was first released on the Sega Saturn and PC.




When the game made its debut in Japan after being relaunched, customers were shocked at the poorly censored nudity. At the end of each level, as a reward for playing, the game would display hentai images. However, to comply with Nintendo's Terms and Conditions, the women were censored with shafts of light. Despite this, the women were still clearly visible. Because of these inappropriate images, the game has been pulled from the Nintendo Switch E-Shop.




Despite the lackluster attempts at censorship, the shockingly bad age categorisation and the backlash aimed at both Nintendo and Mighty Craft, the game developers have appealed to have their game re-released with new, hopefully, improved censorship. They have said that they will improve the censorship of the game and hope for it to be back up on the Japanese E-Shop as soon as possible. Japanese rating board CERO have not commented on whether this is possible, although Mighty Craft is optimistic about their chances.




However, this issue has sparked greater debate on the ratings and availability of video games, and the distribution of adult content. Concerned parents have spoken out on many social media platforms, calling for better age rating classification in the future and better overall censorship in media available to children.




This event has sparked age-old debate over the safety of video games and open online media for children, with some concerned parents even removing their child's access to the internet or consoles because of the inappropriate content and graphic violence in new video games and media. Games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Bioshock have lots of gore in them, and sparked their own controversies and, even though the uproar had been quelled, this is a far larger issue.




In conclusion, game developer Mighty Craft has rebooted a long-forgotten game called Super Real Mahjong PV, but it has been pulled from the Nintendo Switch E-Shop by Japanese ratings board CERO because of poorly censored nudity. However, Mighty Craft has stated that they are going to fix the nudity and resubmit the game into the E-Shop, to a mixed reaction.
