The recently arrived Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water has (somewhat unexpectedly) been subjected to an excessive abundance of censorship, after many believed the skimpy DLC costumes would be the only victims – unfortunately, according to Nintendo, the mere sight of a girl in a bikini is all too hazardous to the M-rated game’s impressionable western audience…
A video courtesy of a French player, depicting the difference between the Japanese and European versions of the game:
Considering the appearance of Miu in her bikini is part of her job as an idol and not just gratuitous service causes this bizarre alteration to make even less sense…

Should have left the Fatal Frame franchise on Playstation.
Nintendo's probably afraid of upsetting French Muslim
fanatics who will then declare a fatwah on Mario, Zelda and the rest of their roster. I'm surprised she isn't dressed in a burhka.
Indeed. Sony's not perfect but I do like their no fucks given approach to censorship.
they did censor that God of War III trophy "Bros Before Hoes".
Well here is the rub in the U.S. it would still be a dodgy issue to have "underaged girls" meaning less than 18 years old being "sexed up" so Sony would run into the same issue. I remember when DOA for came out some of the characters had to be aged up.
People get into lots of trouble if the comment on the "hotness" of a teenager here in the states
bullshit when crap like dance moms exists
Yeah they did that in bravely default. In the jap version the mc was 15 in the US/Euro version she's 18
It wouldn't have stayed a franchise if it wasn't for Nintendo, KT were going to drop it because it didn't make the dough. I admit this sucks, and the localisation in general is kinda meh, but I'm happier for this game to be censored than never exist.
If they keep this kind of nonsense up, they'll end up like Sega.
And I'm perfectly ok with that. Now you can get their oldies in Steam, and they are making quite some decent games now that they no longer focus on hardware.
But the better and sexier version is on XBOX
Zero 2, Akaichou has also sado outfits in that one
It's Western feminists making a big deal out of this, not muslims.
It's SJWs.
SJWs = feminists.
inb4 "no true scotsman"
Muslims, feminists, whatever. People with irrational beliefs trying to push their bullshit on others is why we can't have nice things.
Wait, she isn't in a burka, fatwah incoming!
...Nintendo just needs to die already...that and all forms of censorship. I blame Christianity for all the bullshit censorship in America. If we don't believe in magic, pagan gods, and eclipses signifying the end of the world, the why do we believe in something equally as stupid but far less fun? The main point is that most sex/nudity related censorship laws (and polygamy laws) exist because of what the church says is "immoral". The most ironic part being this country being founded on separation of church and state...among other things, but whatever.
Lol most people opposed to sex in games are atheist SJWs. They're like you, with your own change the world bullsh-t attitude, just they don't fap to game girlz.
You're more likely to see censorship of games like DOA/Fatal Frame in atheist Sweden than Catholic Italy. Get that.
I don't see the problem. Looks like it was done in good taste and the censored costume looks okay.
Censorship is never in good taste.
This should teach immature murican kids to shut their mouths from constantly yapping about censorship of Japan when obviously they were just complying with regulations.
Since when are bikini's regulated in mature rated games?
Looks like it was Europe too, retard.
USA + EU share the same game marketing.
They are not being made independent of each other anymore. Like when it used to be with a USA version and EU version.
So yeah, all western versions of games being censored because of skin is all thanks to the american prudence. All lolies being cut however is thanks to the EU, because of the UK and France deciding pixels deserve human rights.
@ 03:29
Censorship is never OK. I don't need some asshole
with an agenda in a government or a company deciding what I should read, watch, play or do.
But that costume is actually sexier than the bikini.
Just in case you wonder: yes, I do collect a few safe pictures in my porn folder, and I don't collect bikinis.
Next step for you is to collect images of tiles.
@04:17, Wow! You must be really into kinky full on clothed sex. You should post your burqa collection.
Exactly. Who the hell gets to decide what's good taste and what isn't? Let the consumers decide on their own.
The outfit actually just looks better all together...
Well, when those same consumers are absurdly ignorant about what they're buying for their children and then SUE companies because of their own idiocy, it's not hard to understand why companies are so reluctant to show any skin.
Of course, that doesn't make it right and companies should just put their fucking foot down already.
@05:14
Seriously? The game is M rated.
"Oh no, my 10 year old saw nipples in that game that's not supposed to be played by people that are younger than 18. I'm going to sue those who sold the game and those who made it because they abused my ignorance even though they put a huge red sticker with a capital M written on it."
fun fact:
you can choose the custom in the japanese version
you can´t choose the bikini in the european version though
get it now?
*costume
damn autocorrection!
Fashion....in horror game,you are girl?
Team Ninja made this bro. I'm surprised there's only 2 extra costumes.
I'll have to call anyone who expected otherwise, a complete dumbass. Wii and Wii U are geared towards families and young children.
True, and everyone knows that children from the USA melt if they see female skin. true story.
Only happens with virtual females. Try it if you don't believe me!
It's even more geared towards Families and Kids in Japan though... In the west it's mostly geared towards 20 somethings with nostalgia...
Except for the fact that Nintendo published the game in both regions Japan and NA/EU Nintendo owns the rights to all future installments of the franchise yet someone decided the west couldn't handle it. Even though Bayonetta 2 was way worse with it's over serialization. I am betting NoA will fold and uncensor it
Bayonetta 2 says hi.
Consumer says nope.
>Wii and Wii U are geared towards families and young children.
Yet Fatal Frame is a M rated 17+ horror game, obviously not intended for young children to begin with, so censoring it for that is bullshit.
Your comment is completely irrelevant considering that Fatal Frame Wii U Japan version also happens to be on the Wii U.
Damn... what a waste...
How is this even possible? The game has an 18 rating in the United Kingdom, it's exclusive to GAME and for £50 I wouldn't expect this.
But yeah, the age rating, 18. Why the censorship? Even softcore porn shows boobs at 18.
Well that is really disappointing. Then again, inb4 Nintendo releases an uncensored patch DLC costing $60.
Nintendo of Japan to Tecmo-Koei- Bikini and Underwater cool whatever we don't care
Nintendo of America - OH NO TOO MUCH SKIN! But on this skin tight body suit that shows the ass even more
^I mean "underwear" not Underwater
Yeah, Zero Suit Samus is more sexualized, it's really odd of them.
Skin and boobs have to be censored at all cost.
But with the bootie they can do whatever they want.
Enjoy your no-sales Nintendo, that's exactly what you need right now.
Nintendo needs to become 3rd party themselves so they can learn why third parties avoid them.
YES!! For the love of Hades can this fucking happen, please?!?! I'm fucking sick of their shit.
