So I've decided to make a list of games that I know of that are censored from either their arcade or japanese iterations when they came to the states or
have just plain been changed to suck.
SNES- Mortal Kombat - No blood, duh.
PS1-Castlevania Symphony of the Night- Aside from shitty voice acting,
they took out the ability to play as Maria but kept Richter. What's up
with that?
PS1- Resident Evil violent intro was cut, and same with the Directors
Cut, those bastards!
PS1- Xenogears- the Church was renamed to Ethos, and the ending
which had two nude characters running has beams of light covering 'places'
PS2- Guilty Gear X2- I-no's voice, while still in Japanese, has words 'bleeped' out,
as if typical US gamers would understand. Sound Test I-no Type A: #32, #33 and
I-no Type C: #36, #37.
The intro movie was changed to be retarded.
PS2- Capcom vs. SNK 2- Rugal's "Genocide Cutter!" now has nothing but a sound.
PS2- KOF 2000/2001- Despite keeping the boob bounce in CvS2, Mai doesn't bounce in this recent SNK release.
PS2- Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore- As if it's hardcore, they took out the cinema intro where Kasumi
is naked in a tube.
PS2- La Pucelle: Tactics- Awesome box art was changed to total crap for the US, because the guy was smoking and the girl was in a skanky pose.
PS2- Mobile Light Force 2- Awesome shooter game with horribly retarded box art that doesn't even pertain to gameplay because of equally retarded US developers.
PS2- Street Fighter Anniversary- Street Fighter anime movie was dubbed and
censored (Chun Li shower cut), and in SF3: Third Strike, they screwed with
the colors so it's washed out, the sound effects are low, and took out
minor ending movie dialog, and the movies themselves have horrible
scanlines/parallax scrolling issues. Dreamcast is better.
PS2-KOF: Maximum Impact- All I can say is: Oh MY GOD, this is the WORST
voice acting EVER! The announcer is worse than the Alpha series. The
characters say literal translations of their moves. STUPID!! Yuri sounds
like a 5 year old sucking helium, only more annoying. Christ, it's just
plain THE CRAPPIEST VOICE ACTING EVER, hands down.
Neo Geo- Samurai Shodown IV and V- Blood is white. Finishing strikes gone. Arcade and Home versions.
N64- Killer Instinct Gold- When Orchid turns around during a Time-Up, she
is wearing shorts instead of the skanky thong.
DS- Dawn of Sorrow- TOTALLY fucked up american-anime box art, looks
fucking retarded.
PSP- Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth- they royally puked on the american box
art. The original art on the PS1 and Japanese releases is where it's at.
PS2- Xenosaga 1 - The scene where Albedo is shown sticking his hand into
MOMO was remade where he just waves his hand over her.
PS2- Xenosaga 2 - Scene where he blows his head away. they just don't show
it by focusing on the other clones and letting us hear a gun blast to know
that he indeed shot himself in the head.
