Something tells me that quite soon we're going to have an uncensored English version running on an emulator.

Don't take gambling advice from that something.

Depends on your definition of quite soon. I'd expect the emulator to be able to handle XCX in about 2.5-3 years.

Can't say I'd consider half a console lifetime to be quite soon, but yeah, I suppose it does depend on your definition.

But console lifecycles aren't so short anymore.

Improvements were made as far as I'm concerned.

I know we've had this discussion ad-nauseum, but altering content of a product out of fear of backlash is censorship. Changing the spelling of a name or rephrashing dialogue to make more sense in our language is localization.

Edit: LOL, you actually try to argue that they're doing this to cater to a wider Western audience. That is just laughable.

I'm not trying to argue anything. That's exactly what's going on here. Laugh all you want.

Thank God, those suits are really, really, really disgusting lol. I said my opinion regarding censorship many times, but I'll repeat the same. Cultural differences. Really, don't you think that wearing a thong while playing an open world RPG would be seen as... ridiculous and awful on the West? Let's not talk about having a 13 years old wearing a sexy outfit. For fuck's sake. I really like Japanese developers, but I can't really understand this... habit. This is a localization, you really have to adapt some minor things which might be bothersome for a lot of people here. And, really, having a 13 years old wearing THAT outfit would pissed me off.

I respect everyone's opinions about this. But, rest assured that if I was in charge of this localization, I'd probably change even more than the actual changes. There're some really awful and out of place costumes in XCX. Outfits that I used because they have better stats, but I found totally ridiculous to fight a gigantic boss with a high-school outfit lol.

1. She is not 13 years old.

2. Mimeosome doesn't represent actual body.

3. They forgot to remove one sexy outfit for LinLyKoo.

From what we've seen and read a few months ago, a working emulator is coming sooner than we expect. After all, Wii U is pretty much Wii on steroids, so it should be childs play when compared to emulating TEH CELL.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

There's no data to support that these types of changes benefit the game in any way or really that this is the reason why Nintendo made the changes. Looking at XCX's sales, it's pretty that they've failed to reach any wide audience.

If you're content to have games filtered down because of the personal views of a small localization team, then more power to you. I think you're lying to yourself if you believe this type of thing broadens the market in any way.

Edit: I could see the argument if they had to make changes in order to get a certain ESRB rating. To me, that makes sense, even if I don't necessarily agree that they should be done. I don't think you can argue that for XCX (or really any of the recent cases of censorship).

1. I'm pretty sure she's 13, isn't she?

2. So, what? Let's create some creepy robots mimicking underage women with sexy outfits then. That wouldn't make it less creepy.

I'll keep 2 in spoiler tag just in case somebody hasn't played the game yet,

A working emulator already exists, and they've got some things running at like 5-10fps. Will be a while.
