First I would like to know if there is a us-site dealing with censored games and second I imagined this thread like this-
you write the name of game and what's censored and if there is a way to de-censor it:

Dreamcast:
D2: jap. version Features tentacle sex (you can still find the movie at ign.com tough it's kinda difficult to download it) nudity (boss) and more nudity I believe Laura).
Dead or Alive2. Had nudity in the opening movie (also can be find as a movie at ign.com) can be seen by a trick. also breasts a slightly censored but can be de-censored too.

PC:
Gothic german version featured nudity and a band (In extremo) the second one is out (licenses) the first one can be hacked.

your turn!

MegaMan Zero: no blood on the US version.

King of Fighters: weapons aren't in the US version, Mai's breasts don't bounce either.

Xenosaga: a scene removed because it was "romantic". It was really disturbing actually.

Soul Blade: they added a poorly drwn swimsuit to Sophitia in the opening.

Marvel vs Capcom: Morrigan's "Lilith tied up" winning animation removed.

Grandia/Skies of Arcadia: alcohol references stupidily removed.

Last Blade/Metal Slug: where's my blood????

Persona:

Game severely "westernized." This resulted in the changing of names, slight altering of character portaits, changing the city's location (Lunarville??) and even changing Mark's race.

Entire extra dungeuon (effectively half the game) removed.

Dialog softened.

Game made easier.

Yet oddly enough it made it into MvC2 as is...(Guess they thought it was okay then...)

Anyway, as for Cenosrship...In the us port of FF6, Cyan's book of H was turned into a book of machines. And in most RPG's they have a habit of turning booze into harmless rootbeer...(or milk).

IN Tekken 3 Anna ending was changed where she was flirting with some guys by a pool and Nina pulled off her top. Nothing was shown though, but they decided to change it anyway. You count blood from MK1, but the Genesis version had a code.

The naked girl boss is still on the US version (the clone of lauras friend right?) she is even naked when you see her lying on the floor. They have a warning on the back of the box for nudity , violence etc. Happy anime tentacles? was that on the first boss on the crashed plane?

Other than that i dont know, i played a big chunk of the game but i couldnt take it anymore. Bad game, horrible nonsense dialog, D2 DOES NOT COMPUTE.

It's even more amusing when the bars still have their age restrictions even though they serve no alcohol.

No, you may not come inside until you are 21! Young people can't handle their coffee!!

King of Fighters 98 (99 dream match) had King sipping a martini changed to a lame close up of her face changing to a negative.

Grand Theft auto 3 had a code to allow more gore and violence.

Wolfenstein 3d for SNES, good god nintendo, Hitler without his mustache, no swastikas, german shepards changed to giant dogs, the germans no longer speak in german, they say "HALT!" and you shoot the guys, they SWEAT!

Night Trap for Sega CD was latered censored I think? because of Joe Lieberman's crusade against videogames in the early 90's?

Snatcher for Sega CD was censored, but ironically the JAPANESE Playstation remake had much, much more censored then the previous American Sega CD version.

that is all I can think of off the top of my head.

People where digitally inserted into Eyes Wide Shut in order to block the camera from directly seeing any sexual intercourse to get the movie an R rating.

In the jap. version of MK64, Wario sometimes says "So ein Mist!" This is removed in other Versions. It's german and means "such crap!"

There is a huge censoring history of games, like genesis "streets of rage" where they took out frames of animation which allowed you to see the panties of the female character.In the Us-Version of part three, a whole boss was removed, because he was obviously(?!?) homosexual.

then there is the great female character from Final fight that as far as know is not in any of the home-versions (yes, the Mega CD version IS edited-at least the us version that I know).

Neo Geo-censorship should not count, as it's usually easy to trick arround (codes, switch
to japan and so on)-tough every censorship counts.

Also, as I can remember in Bionic comando (not sure if it's BC tough), the final japanese boss was Adolf Hitler!

Worst of all is german censorship where games even get foribdden.

If someone knows a good english site about games-censorship, please post a link!

Ninja Warriors for SNES had the female twin assasins (JJJ should check it) replaced by some lame guys with claws.

Bust a Groove had smokes and alcoholic drinks removed too I heard (I own the japanese game).

I don't know why people complain about the publishers, when the problem resides in the US culture, and the "games are for kids" and "kids shouldn't have access to information that might make them think" concepts. Publishers only are trying to avoid get their @$$ sued, or used to any political campaign.

I think that was truer in the recent past. With the success of GTA3 and the fact that very few people came forth to voice their disapproval of its content, I'm fairly sure if a game is marketed as "mature" it can generally be so. You can say that Sony censored BMX:XXX, but I personally think that they didn't want to deal with a potential controversy over such a retarded concept that was destined to fail.

Now a days when a game gets censored, I think it’s more to do with getting a lower rating in order to give it a more mass market appeal (Xenosaga or Grandia for example).

Yes, the orginal name of Bionic Commando is "Hitler's ambition", or Hitler's resurection, I don't remember. Thatmay be the reason why that guy never cam back in any cross over, portable port or sequel (and that's a shame).
Speaking of germans... I think it was them that made the guys of Contra replaced by robots because seeing men dying was too horrible (but seeing robots killed was okay) and they had the game renamed Probotector FOR ALL THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ?

Oh! I thought that the Contra-Probotector change was a change from the US... Still, a stupid thing.

Another thing was the elimination of some parts of the intro (I think) and the partially eaten head FMV from the first RE.

In FFT, they obscured some texts that talked about a raping...
