Game Boy Advance Secrets & Censorship - Did You Know Gaming? Ft. ConnorEatsPants

[@kurisu7885]

That underwear censorship for Dragonball was in the anime too, so it's actually consistent.

[@DxBlack]

Not quite: it was only censored after being re-released by Funimation. Before that it was left intact (because who cares about it being Women Panties in the early 90's...it's underwear, and the character would only have ever asked for that judging from his previous exploits), and obviously Funi was being Funi just like they currently are with their stupid censorship bullshit.

[@kurisu7885]

They added them in? I had no idea. Since I owned the game, I didn't think about buying it on the wii u. That and I had the gameboy adapter on the gamecube to pop it on tv if I wanted. I wish I knew that then. I might have to dig it out now and see if it's still possible to buy it.

And not offended in the slightest that they were in the game to begin with. Though I can't speak for for everyone, we are a tough people and something like a pixelated headress would never hurt our feelings at all. Even if we were to be painted in a bad light, we know our own and we shine without anyone's approval.

[@jigglypuff3311]

The underwear dialogue from Dragon Ball isn't censorship within the game. It was the dialogue censored in the anime (not sure about the manga). So it's not the game censoring but rather the original source material. Except the sprite of course.

[@otaking3582]

Most of the "censorship" in the GBA Doom ports were just due to hardware limitations. It would make no sense to censor the games otherwise, since they were still rated M for Mature.
