NEWS: NISA to Release Mugen Souls Z in N. America, Europe in 2014

@RyanSaotome

The game was released by Sony in Japan, in its uncut form. So Sony has no problem with the content. NISA is the only one in the U.S. that would have to care about the rating. In the end, the only people in the U.S. who would buy the game is the fans who already know all about it already.

That's not how it works.

What happens in one region doesn't mean it will go the same here. The Cero had to rate the game in Japan. Here the ESRB would have to rate it and if it did get an AO rating Sony America would deny it and retailers wouldn't stock it.

Was the first Mugen Souls actually sold in stores, at places like Best Buy and Game Stop? I don't remember seeing it on the shelves. I would think the majority of sales would be online. I don't know why Sony America would deny it, if they don't have a financial stake in it, they are not Apple after all. But if there is a historical precedent for it? I would think all risk would be with NISA and not with Sony.

I have a simple solution import the uncut version from japan.

Which is being cut from the English release, like the first game.

Well, looks like Japan censor GTA 5 for both sex and violence. Is that enough payback for US for censoring Mugen Souls? So we're censoring/cutting out content in Mugen Souls and in return Japan censor GTA5.

1. Those two things have absolutely NOTHING to do with each other (one did not cause the other).

2. This entire debate has NOTHING to do with "payback" or "tit-for-tat" with concern to game censoring (it has everything to do with whether or not it is appropriate for NISA to be cutting content out of Mugen Souls Z for its U.S. release).

I'm starting to feel that you post just for the sake of posting (really?).

People complain about US censor Japanese games, yet the same people never spoke up about when US game get censor in Japan. Beside you, I don't see anybody complaining about my comment, what is your problem??

1. My problem is the fact that your post has very little to do with the topic at hand and just seems like posting for the sake of posting.

2. Just because no one else is complaining about your comment doesn't mean that it isn't off-topic or inappropriate.

Ummm... well, sure, I guess, but only seem to post mostly for the sake of being argumentative, belligerent and insulting.

Yeah, no.

Surrender Artist seem to be correct, you're targeting to me for some reason, I don't see the mod coming down on me for my post, maybe I should have a mod report on you for maybe targeting me for no reason. As I said, nobody complain about my comment except you so I don't have to listen to you.
