Teenage mutant ninja turtles was called teenage mutant hero turtles in europe, because british kids went insane if they saw something ninja related and made shurikens and nunchakus and mauled each other.

there's the thing where the Japanese covers of games have lots of variety but the American version for every single game is a male protagonist holding a weapon and looking serious, eg.

didnt they remove the blood or something from the game too i dont know i havent played it yet its too expensive like $40, wow heh yeah right i am talking about the south park game in australia

also hotline miami 2 was refused classification so it cant be bought in australia. i also bought manhunt on ps2 straight away when it came out before it got banned and some guy told me that it would be worth a couple of hundred dollars now but i left it at some guys caravan when i lived in a caravan park because i was ver. drunk. that period of my life was very sad and i dont like to think about it

Quote-Unquote
Oct 22, 2002



they had to call Bully on PS2 'Canis Canem Edit' because the daily mail went completely insane about how it's a game that promotes bullying even though it's actually the exact opposite lol
It got the original name when it got re released on Wii and 360 because the daily mail had moved on to a new outrage about something, probably muslims idk

Anyone who makes fun of American covers of Japanese games has obviously never seen the inverse. Apparently the trick to sell games in Japan is remove all the black people, redraw everything in anime, and put tits front and center.

here is a counter-example where the Japan version has the masculine hero front and center (complete with phallic imagery) while the US version is just a sweet artful logo



here is one where the Japanese cover is arguably the best but the EU one is hilariously bad
