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.

Thank you! Very nice scan!
