Would you censor fictional sexual content that depict minors?

The 18+ cut off isn't the rule. Most places in Europe set their ages in the range of 14 to 16. I dunno what the age of consent in Japan is, I wouldn't be surprised if it's 13. Nintendo HAS TO to avoid breaking laws, what they are doing has to be done, it's not a choice.

Nothing has to be done. It's a girl in a bikini, that's all. She's not actually naked so it wouldn't be breaking any laws.

I worded that poorly. Nintendo is not breaking the law per se. But it will lead to an inevitable bad publicity and unnecessary headache. Someone like Anita is gonna make a video that goes viral and people will get increasingly anal and so on. In a way, Nintendo has to do something about it for their own sake.

Do something that doesn't make you a hipocrite. Because censoring it in the US/EU, but it's fine and endorsed in JPN sure makes Nintendo that. It's kind of insulting to the Japanese. Were we can't accept and respect another cultures views. We have to cover them up. And pretend a part of the world doesn't find this wrong. Because maybe Japan gets drawings and CGI are not real people.
