  3. Religion has most definitely stifled progress in not only America, but the world and it seems like everything is going backwards. Want to know why there’s no flying cars, hoverboards, or any of the other cool stuff promised by science fiction? Because people still want to play by the rules of 2,000 year old fairy tales that contradict each other with various “books”. Worse even, some have made up their OWN rules using said books as a reference point.

  6. Before someone else raises their hand to point it out, I should add that some of the stuff they talk about, like violence and blood having to be toned down for American audiences, has swung in the other direction, and nowadays it's Japan that has to censor some of the extreme violence in Western games. But while America has begrudgingly learned to accept ultra-violence in games, we're still not cool with sex being anywhere near our kids. Spot the completely random nude woman in this very issue of Famitsu and ask yourself if you would have ever seen that in a Nintendo Power in 1991. Now ask yourself if you'd ever see that in an American gaming mag in 2025 (use your imagination to pretend there are still American gaming mags in 2025.) Some things change. Others stay the same.

    Thought some of you might be interested in a 1991 Japanese take on the differences involved with marketing games in the USA. Religious conservative culture requiring edits and changes to be released in America...yep, 34 years later and nothing has changed. Also, it was kind of them to use the Mega Man from Mega Man 3 to illustrate their point about preferred art styles when they could have just as easily gone with Mega Man 1 to show how we Americans prefer our box art to look like ass.
