Does the removal of lingerie outfits from Fatal Frame in the West annoy you at all?

I see a lot of people using the words "censor" and "censorship". I'm not sure these are the correct words to use in this case. It was not a third party forcing Nintendo to remove these costumes. Nintendo did this on their own.

Personally, I would not play with these costumes. But it really seems like a waste of resources to remove these and add in another set of costumes. And I can see why people are upset about content being removed from the game. Really odd move on Nintendo's part. The game didn't even get a lower ESRB rating.

It is censorship. Regardless of the normal expected reasons. Nintendo censored some nude statues in Castlvania years ago. Same idiotic reasons now for this game. Worse when it's rated M. It be like bleeping cursing in a rated R movie.

When you do it to yourself, censorship is not the right word.  Maybe self-editting, or even self-censorship as Twintail points out.  It is an important distinction.  Free speech and censorship is a serious issue, so it is important to note that it was not an outside party forcing this change, but Nintendo themselves.
