Samurai Shodown V Special Homecart CENSORED

[FX]

In this case, I can sympathize with the censorship. For alot of people, watching decapitations for the sake of coolness is in poor taste right now. Besides, what kind of sick freak wants to see Nakoruru's head get cut off? This isn't 1992 anymore - blood and gore shouldn't really be selling points any longer.

Perhaps, but I hate being told what I can and cannot see. For $325, you get a censored product? That's ass.

If the arcade owners notice people bemoaning the violence, they do have the option to turn it down.

Are the fatalities essential? I'll admit that they are not. But they are part of the arcade game- and when you pay $300+ for a NGHC, you should be getting a 1:1 version of said arcade game at home. Players who have objection to the fatalities or desire to see them should be given the same option arcade owners have.

This bears repeating.

It definitely does.

Some things are absolute. SNK dicking up home releases is one of those things

But...... We have a ratings system now to protect young and fragile lil people from seeing more graphic things in games. It doesn;t really matter to me either way, though. I always found it humorous to hear people whine about the "blood" being white and stuff. I play games for gameplay, not gimmicks. As you stated, it isn't '92 anymore. Besides, I'm sure the rom of the prototype will be dumped anyway in time so if the goopy red stuff is important, then I'm sure that you'll be able to find it. I'll still pick it up when its released on the XBOX just to play on live, even though I've been playing it online for a while with kaillera

Isn't the game considered broken crap anyway? I'm trying to give it a test run to play it, but honestly, there are so many good fighters out there right now, if this one is gonna be censored and all that, just move on.

[JefmcC]

I bet a lot of people on N-G.com are upset because the game, not being a direct 1:1 copy, will not hold or increase in it's value.

LOL, for once, the AES crowd get an "inferior port", as they like to put it.

MVS all the way, for half the pay.

People have been getting beheaded since the dawn of time, but suddenly it's a big sensitive issue when it happens to a yank. How many people do you think got there noggins cleaved in Africa while we were all playing MKII? I'm guessing thousands., at least. Fucking retarded is what this is. I could understand the censorship if this was like 'Waku Waku Decap-Iraq' or something, but I don't see the connection when its a feudal japanese sword-fighting game. Developers weren't disabling the sniper mode in their FPSs when that sniper thing was happenning. Why is this so different?

[Jetman]

Just heard about this. What in the fuck is up with our society over here turning PG-13 all of a sudden?

Seriously, SNK has to be one of the stupidest companies in existence. If I'm buying one of their NeoGeo carts, I'm paying over $200. And if I'm paying that much, I'm old enough to see violence.

This was exactly the first thing I thought - what a bunch of

Well, all of the fatalities werent JUST blood gushers and decapitations.Some of them actually looked kind of cool - Someone here already mentioned Hanzo's. Rimururu,Minaa,and Enja/Kazuki had some pretty slick ones too.

What are the odds of us not getting a non-censored version of it for X-Box/PS2 ? next to nill? Who has the rights to it SNK/Playmore or Agetec?

Guess I'll have to download this one off the internet too.

Wow. What a way to end a 14-year run of a niche market. Slap 'em in the face with bullshit like this.

By the way, did any of you see anything like this?
