Um hey... guess what. NINTENDO DIDN'T DO THE LOCALIZATION. It was atlus who handled the entire thing so saying NOA did this is false information. |

Except the localization is handled by Atlus. Even so, I think they're targeting the game to have a T rating, so that would explain the censorship.

Nintendo aren't localizing it. |
Atlus are employed by Nintendo to do the localization. No matter if it's done in-house or outsourced, this game contains Nintendo's own I.P's, and Atlus can't release anything without Nintendo's approval. This seems to be Nintendo's image concerns in the west rather than Atlus'.
A T-rating doesn't explain censored cleavage in an Atlus game for the west.

Being employed to do something doesn't mean Nintendo is bothering with it, I don't think Nintendo were even going to localize the game tbh and Atlus asked if they could do it themselves then, Nintendo published Bayonetta which also referenced IPs so I don't get the point of your image. Fact is every company is wary of the NA region look at the DOAX3 fiasco for start.
This reminds me of people whinging about Bravely Second then it turned out SE made changes themselves based on gamer feedback in Japan.
