Dispatch Dev Says Players "Are Right To Be Pissed" Over Nintendo Censorship - IGN Daily Fix

5 months, 1 week - In today's Daily Fix:Developer AdHoc Studio has released a statement addressing the censorship controversy surrounding the Switch 2 port of Dispatch. AdHoc is taking responsibility for the uproar, saying that their game failed to meet certain Nintendo guidelines, and that it was their responsibility to better convey the message that the Switch 2 port was altered from the PS5 and Steam versions. AdHoc are working with Nintendo to address the issue, but that it could take weeks before changes are made to the game, if any. In other news, Nioh 3 might be making its way to the Switch 2 and Xbox Series consoles, marking the first time the franchise ended up on a non-Sony console. A new trailer for the game specifies that it's a PS5 console exclusive for six months, however no official word on if other ports are coming. And finally, a video game music remix won a Grammy last night over EGOT-holder Cynthia Erivo. Super Mario Praise Break from The 8-Bit Big Band took home the award for Bestr Arrangement, Instrumental and Vocals. Another gaming win came from composer Austin Wintory, who won for the soundtrack to Sword of the Sea.

Nintendo Responds to Dispatch Censorship Controversy - IGN Daily Fix

5 months, 2 weeks - In today's Daily Fix:Nintendo has responded to the censorship controversy surrounding the Switch port of AdHoc's Dispatch. The Switch version has its nudity and sexual content censored, while the PS5 and Steam versions allow you to toggle the censorship. According to Nintendo, while all games on Nintendo platforms need to meet certain guidelines, they don't dictate to the developers how changes need to be made. In other news, Amazon's God of War series has cast Mandy Patinkin as Odin. Patinkin is probably best known as Inigo Montoya from the 80s classic, The Princess Bride, but has also done acclaimed work on shows such as Homeland, and Criminal Minds. And finally, the very long-in-development Beyond Good & Evil 2 is apparently still chugging along at Ubisoft, despite the company's recent layoffs and restructuring.

Dispatch's Nudity and Sex Scenes Will Be Censored on Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN Daily Fix

5 months, 2 weeks - In today's Daily Fix:Dispatch is finally landing on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, but it's not quite the same version that's available on PS5 and Steam. The game has been censored on Nintendo platforms, with some of the nudity and sexual content altered. While the other versions of the game have a toggle to censor the adult content if the player chooses, the Switch/Switch 2 versions have removed that option. Developer AdHoc Studio has emphasized that the story and overall experience has not changed. In other news, Capcom knows the effect Resident Evil star Leon S. Kennedy has on women, and female staffers at the company made sure his latest appearance would 'make anyone's heart throb.' And finally, February's PlayStation Plus games have been revealed.
