I do not see why they would not offer both costumes. Anyways it is not a huge issue.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

really? There is a huge cultural difference with sexuality and history between the two unlike this change sugest. This case pretty much proves that videogame devolopers take the standard for the US and put it on everything else outside of Japan and view instances in Australia and Germany

Well I'll buy a copy online that's not censored thanks

After all these years, cowboys are still kicking Native Americans out of their territory...

Looks like Nintendo's at it again.

This post wins.  Thread over.

This is news? We had a thread on this ages ago.

I feel like I have the same argument with people who believe that censorship is only censorship when legally mandated. Self-censorship is an actual thing (see Cambridge Dictionary definition here) and it's done out of fear of backlash from a market or group. NOA/NOE believes that the outfit could possibly offend Western markets, so they remove it and put something else in. It's a largely meaningless change, but it's still censorship. That's kinda why it boggles the mind more as there's no reason to edit it.
