Gameplay ruined.

Then tell Nintendo to go fuck themselves and do it illegally.

This is starting to become way to common now and with an art book no less :/
Very disrespectful to the artist.

Don't understand why do they do this. It takes extra effort for them to change it, instead of just leaving it as it is. So not only are they compromising the artists original vision, but they are also putting effort into that.

Nintendo's gotta keep up their image outside of Japan that they're some pure family/kid loving company.

I'm more bothered as to why it's always the same topic that only ever seems to cover a Japanese video game or something anime related, like no covering of the hundreds of other forms of censorship that are likely worse than this.

Odd for an artbook to be censored like this, but then again, it's not that surprising :p

anything else would be arguable, but lets be real, its an art book... who ever actually reads the damn things?

Unusual for an artbook. I've flicked through it (very high quality coincidentally) and there's some risqué things in there. Can't say I'm surprised with the current trend. More disappointed.

Nintendo needs to chill with these type of things. I don't get why it's so terrible to have some sexually suggestive images on something most people won't even see
