Frankly, i am sick of the censorship shit that the American releases for SNK games have gotten.

Will the new KOF 2-pack have the same censorship that KOF had on the DC and ps1 in america (and of course, the censoreship Last blade 2 had on DC...grrrr)

If anyone could find out about this, please post.

And it is sorta a big deal to me. The blood effects add alot to many of the moves in the game.





And i like bouncing tits :multi_co: :multi_co:

I hope not, I'm tired of SNK, Playmore, whatever, thinking they have to censor their games for the American audience.

Have they played GTAIII?

Do they know their audience has grown since Sam Sho was released?

I'm willing to bet most people that buy their games are 19 and older.

BTW, I think Agetec was responsible for LB2 getting censored.

There's not much to explain.

The game was localized by Agetec, and they felt the need to censor it.

The U.S. Homecart version of LB2 is actually uncesored.

edit: I don't have any proof, just speculation. For all I know, Agetec might have only distributed what SNK (R.I.P.) wanted them to for the U.S. market.

I live in South Africa but I buy American games as well as Euro and Jap versions. I prefer buying American games cos usually their cheaper than their British and Jap counterparts.

I remember the Samurai Shodown problem in the early 90's. I would've hoped that they'd stop treating us like children and release the game as is was originally intended. These people can't possibly be oblivious to games like The Getaway, GTA III and the like. :very_ang:

Usually when they port to the home version, they use the US NGH/AES home version, so if there is no blood and no bounce in the English release, it'll be censored.

In English KOF 2K-2K2, Mai has no bounce in her breasts. The same goes for the English arcade version.

As far as Agetec being responsible for "censoring" LB2, they didn't REALLY censor it, they just basically used the arcade settings for "no cruel fight" (no cutting in 1/2) and I think there is also the blood setting in the arcade version.

Will the US versions be censored? Yes, most likely, as they will use the English versions of the games, which automatically mean being "censored."

Let's remember that for the home system what matters is
the system you have, not the game.

It's the american version, OF COURSE it's going to be censored.

Does ANYTHING make it over here uncensored?

I'm angry all over again :mad:

I'm just curious as to what determines if they will censor a game or not. It seems like they'll censor every game no matter what.

Last Blade wasn't censored for the home versions AES with the US bios. Try it yourself and get back to me, I may be wrong.

I've had more than a few people tell me LB1 and 2 are uncensored and soon enough I'll know first hand.

So this is what led to me to believe Agetec might have done it in order to avoid selling an M rated game, either that or SNK might have done it, while allowing Agetec to distribute it.

BTW, what was the last console game SNK distributed, if ever, in the US?

Naturally it will be censored. Just like Metal Slug X. We can't have animated violence now. *goes off to play gta3*
