Y'know, kids in the arcade I guess... That's what I think atleast...

Censored usually implies there was an original work or intent that was then changed. Was there something that was removed/altered for the MVS release?

I know Metal Slug no red blood in the US is a good example, but that went across mvs and aes. I was wondering if there were any mvs only censorship examples.

I have always found it odd that King of Fighters '96 and Last Blade 1 are uncensored in US AES mode. Another neat fact is that the controls on the Neo Geo CD version of KOF '96 are more responsive like '97.

I used to think that the censorship default for US games was just to avoid the ESRB rating entirely, but SS1 came out in '93 censored and pissed a lot people off.... so, hmmmm.
