the_dudefather the advantage of probotector over conrta is that robots are cooler than rambo look-a-likes wearing day-glo trousers.

but i suppose it depends on which one you played as a kid.

(dudefather gets killed by angry mob after his comments on contras day-glo trousers)

pjalne Fuck, you're right.

What's fucked up is that the censors actually ADDED the word 'ninja' to some titles. Like Bad Dudes (Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja) and Joe & Mac (Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja). I have no idea why.

Here are the altered titles I can remember off the top of my head:

Ninja Gaiden -> Shadow Warriors
Shadow of the Ninja -> Blue Shadow
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -> Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles
Kiwi Kraze -> Newzealand Story
Contra -> Probotector (with army guys replaced by robots)
River City Ransom -> Street Gangs

Hey, wait, I just got the European Contra title. They're protectors... and robots! P-robo-tectors! What will they think of next?

the_dudefather im pretty sure ninja gaiden was shadow warriors (not the pc game) over here (UK)

Yeah, I think I sent you some screenshots of some NES covers a year ago or something. I think the rules are a bit slacker these days, though. And Perndog: Ninja Gaiden was actually called Shadow Gaiden here. Worse yet:

I get the impression that whenever some hooligan does something stupid, something gets banned in England.

i live in said place, in its been relreleased in all its american-style glory

other ninja related changes i can think of:

-shadow warrior (pc, not ninja gaiden) - has darts instead of shurikans (its hard to get shurikans, but go to any pub and get some darts)

-soul edge - nukchakus are change to strange 3 part sword thing

-bits of the yakuza vs fatonis mafia fight cut from the simpsons (the episode where marge sell pretzels), the full version can be seen in the regional northern ireland bbc channel tho... (as far as i know)

on a similar note the episode where homer gets a gun is not shown in britian (partialy for soccer riot reasons) except for northern ireland (again)

the_dudefather yeah, ninjas are not allowed outside with a leash and you must clean up corspes after them.

Meh. Given the choice between a nation that foams at the mouth at the sight of a single boobie, and one that is afraid of the word ninja, I choose the former.

Bobo Adobo Yeah, you can say that about there culture,and it is a good thing. I remember the Euro version Fallout had to take the kids out of the game b/c of the ability to kill them.

But look at Japan, very peaceful nation, but there media can be so graphic not even us Hostile Americans can't handle it. But still, they have a very low crime rate.

At least it's not "Hero Gaiden," though.

FartinMowler i find this funny considering from what I have heard about Europeans being so open to other things like sexuality. I guess violence is a different matter and I think that is a good thing
