The well-received superhero workplace comedy Dispatch is censored on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 and the developers say they worked alongside Nintendo to ensure it met the Kyoto-based company’s criteria. The developers say that the “core narrative and gameplay experience remains identical” in Dispatch, but clearly there have been some omissions from the PlayStation 5 and PC versions.
“Different platforms have different content criteria, and submissions are evaluated individually,” AdHoc said in a statement shared with Eurogamer, ahead of Dispatch’s Switch release. The studio assured, though, that the censorship on Nintendo’s consoles does not affect Dispatch’s overall narrative experience or gameplay.
“We worked with Nintendo to ensure the content within the title met the criteria to release on their platforms, but the core narrative and gameplay experience remains identical to the original release,” the developer stated.
Like what? Cyberpunk has all the tits and gore and drugs and alcohol
Haven’t played either for various reasons but does Cyberpunk have sex scenes? My assumption would be the sex scenes could be the issue if not then it is weird?
It does. Cyberpunk has several sex scenes, full frontal nudity in places, ads that moan in your ear, middle fingers and enough cursing to make Satan blush.
Weird. “Game” is trash if you can call it that. Just bad millennial writing meets parody superhero and 80s music. Who actually thought this was good? Moistshitikal is in it too 🤮
The fact they can’t even be bothered to tell what’s changed makes me think it’s less of a Nintendo thing and more of an AdHoc thing. As people stated, there are plenty of worse games (regarding risky content) on Nintendo platforms, be it excessive violence and gore (lol RE:9 is coming next month), sensual/sexual content (Cyberpunk 2077, Lollipop Chainsaw, etc) and sensitive content in general.
If it isn’t a AAA 500 goty winner game then it won’t be treated the same
