This is NOT censorship. Stop using the word to try to inflame people's sensibilities. Censorship is when an external party (usually a government) legally prevents you from releasing your product unless you remove content.

It is censorship. It doesn't have to be done by an external party.

Example: You ****

That was censored. Wasn't do by any external party or government though.

Nope, that's not censorship. That's moderation. Self censorship is a colloquialism and popular misappropriation of the word. 

If you want to argue that Nintendo the publisher is an external party relative to the people who developed the game, then there is a case to be made of censorship. But first you have to prove that the people who developed the game itself did not choose to remove that content.
