That's the same footage as the first video I posted, just with German narration.

So, is the rest of Europe also getting the censored version, along with Germany?

To answer my own question, it looks like it is censored in Europe. Just checked out the gallery on the preorder page in the Irish eshop and the images have the regime flags.

The first video was from Bethesda UK and it was censored, so that's not a good sign. I'm sure we've Nintendo of Europe's headquarters being in Germany to thank for this. Sites don't seem to have picked up on this just yet, if it is censored across the board, it won't go down well.

Edit: Was it censored all over Europe on the other platforms?

Definitely wasn't censored on PC anyways!

Apparently the game is listed as being 13.8GB on the eShop. So it looks like Bethesda wouldn't even use a 16GB cartridge and instead went with an 8GB cartridge, forcing customers to download the rest.

It was censored in Europe, was only two scenes iirc, friend played both and said it didn’t make a difference to him at all. I’ve held off playing it in the hope it would come to switch. Buuuuut, I was hoping for the stick of truth too?

Is there a bundle for both?




:pac:

South park is great on the Switch. Very good fit, looks as good as the ps4 version coz it's a cartoon !! And turn based means no panic with turning it on and off.

Makes me long for xcom.

Nope, Stick of Truth isn't getting a Switch release. It's a bit annoying that the PS4/Xbox One release has the first game as a bonus, but the Switch owners get it later (which is fine) but with reduced content (this is not)

That's absolute nonsense, and I'm saying that as someone that had held off to get the Switch version! Think I'll just grab it cheaply on either PC or PS4 instead. Incredibly disappointing!

Aaaaand I'd not even though of that completely valid option...


It's back on!!!

Is the censoring of the swastika that big a deal? It's not a documentary or anything.

Alternate time line Nazis. Even if they have a different symbol, there's no missing who they are.

Grumpypants

It's just a cross instead. Has zero impact on the game. No one playing playing Wolfy for it's realistic portrayal of history.

As someone that's been playing Wolfenstein since the very first one back in 1992, yes, it kinda is.
(Discounting Castle Wolfenstein/Beyond Castle Wolfenstein, as the series really kicked off with Wolfenstein 3D)

I know that one other thing they changed which may annoy people is (I haven't played it so don't know how or when the scene occurs)

they removed Hitler's moustache. Can see the comparison online

I just read the small print in the eShop

The international (non-German language) versions of “Wolfenstein® 2: The New Colossus” (the “Game”) include Nazi-related symbols and content. Therefore, the international versions of the Game and its related images and assets are not intended for Germany and Austria. Sale, import, export, or distribution may constitute a violation of local laws and regulation, including criminal law.

The version in the Irish/UK eshop has English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese as the supported languages, German is not in there. So maybe not censored, but why show the censored pictures in the gallery.

Death Road To Canada may be getting a delayed release out of respect for the victims of the recent attack in Toronto.

It's nice that Mighty and Ray have their own abilities, rather than just be carbon copies of Sonic and Tails ability-wise, respectively.

Wow, they're bringing back Mighty and Ray? Very obscure characters to be using as a selling point.

From my recollection, I'd say they do have a cult following as a result of their obscurity.

Mr E

€5 for existing digital customers to get the DLC. That's pretty decent value for 2 new characters, remixed stages, 4 player modes and time trial ghosts.

Huh? Two of Nintendo's biggest and most popular franchises? What's there to be annoyed about?

I think it refers to taking these rumours with a pinch of salt until officially announced.
