This general is for the discussion and organization of the campaign against Nintendo's new censorship regime. Since at least late 2023, numerous games by many different publishers have been denied a release in the west on Switch by these new "Nintendo Guidelines" and a few were even censored in Japan and Asia.
From /v/: Affected games so far:
>Tokyo Clanpool
Publisher is mentioning difficulty releasing in the west. "Ether Induction" minigame completely removed even in Asia
>Prison Princess Trapped Allure
No release in the west despite English being baked in the JP, touching features seem to have been gutted, but are intact on Steam
>Neptunia Rebirth Trilogy
"guidelines compliance issues due to content" cited as the reason
>Death end request Z
"Guidelines compliance issues due to content" cited as the reason, censored Basedny version is getting a western release funnily enough
>DAYMARE: 1994
Italian spooky game, literally zero reasons are known
>Redneg Allstars
Blocked by NoA and NoE due to "expression restrictions"
>Amairo Chocolate
No reason given, publisher simply apologized over it.
>The Fox Awaits Me HANA
Western release cancelled, no reason provided
>Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs
No release in the west despite releasing globally on PS and Steam, hot springs minigame conspicuously lacks voices only on Switch despite being less visually censored than other versions.
>Night to meet Chu!
Western release nowhere to be found despite already being out on Steam
>Sakura melody
Previous games were all Switch exclusive, now not on Switch and instead on PS despite censorship. "it was a weird year and we don't know what happened" cited as the reason by the devs
>Christmas Massacre
Western made game, blocked from a Nintendo release entirely
>Kanon
Western release seemingly quietly cancelled, randomly updated the japanese versions with English options
>Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos
Swimsuit dlc now cancelled only on Switch in the west
