If you like naked round body parts, Nintendo not in your good book.

Nintendo obviously has a very family-friendly image for the most part, so you’re unlikely to find sex scenes in Mario games. However, with the launch of the Nintendo Switch, some more dangerous games have made their way to the platform. However, according to an independent developer, full “uncensored nudity” is not allowed on the eShop.

Publisher Gamuzumi recently confirmed that one of its games in the pipeline, Hot Tentacle Shooter, Not coming to Switch for now (thanks, Nintendo everything). According to Gamuzumi, the eShop doesn’t allow the game because “obscene content may damage the brand and violate its policies.”

One Review published games A Switch release is planned, but Gamuzumi doesn’t mean other developers will be affected as well.

Hot Shoot Tentacles is an 80s-style shooter in which defeating a boss basically removes the tentacles that cover scantily clad female figures.Strangely enough, nude photos were also allowed on the eShop before, especially in The Witcher 3as described by Kotaku, which contains sex scenes with fully topless women.

The Witcher 3 sex scene is censored in the Japanese version of the game, although it’s easily seen elsewhere, so it’s a little unclear where Nintendo actually stands on the matter. AAA games usually get a pass when it comes to situations like this, where indie games have to bear the brunt of the policy, even shooting spaceships in-game to see “uncensored boobs”.

At the end of the day, it’s clearly a private storefront, and it’s available on Steam if you’re desperate to play the game, though Nintendo’s inconsistency isn’t surprising.
