NEWS: XSEED Games Cancels Release of Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack

Underage girls strike again that all.

Payment processors strike again?

We need laws against that kind of thing. Or don't we already have laws against monopolies? Like here in Europe with the action against Google and Apple and their app stores..

I think it's Nintendo of America being strict. During the switch era, they seemed pretty lax when it came to third parties, but that started to change a bit about the time the Switch 2 came out or at least late in the Switch 1 era. This isn't the only game they didn't allow on their store recently.

Fictional underage girls. And this isn't even that kind of work.

While that is a defence in some places, in other places, especially many European countries, it is not.

The payment processors acting on such things was significent because it was private businesses enforcing on what even major countries police couldnt be bothered with.

If it's Nintendo themselves behind this I accept it, even though I don't like it, especially as the games were deemed fine to be published previously.
But if it's the card companies, or them exerting pressure on Nintendo, to result in this, it's them abusing their dominant market position.

Any company media company that restricts content nowadays this way is avoiding having a Steam situation. They don't want to have a big debacle because while Steam is known for just having everything, Nintendo does not want to have to remove games after they come out and have people explain what's in them for the public to see what else their kids could buy without parental controls.

These types of games got by for years because they flew under the radar but thanks to the Steam situation NoA has to be careful or all people will talk about it the lurid contents they found approved of on the store.

So if I had to guess NoA is doing this themselves before it becomes a thing to keep other stuff on their store from being scrutinized, I would still blame processors myself though. The good news is if you want it you can change your location to Japan, buy it in the Japanese eShop with full English options, then switch it back and keep the game. It still sucks for sure but that means people can at least support the release and get the game without importing a Japanese physical or whatever.
