some rude oh you got the sweary humor adult themes and yes spicy visuals uh like nudity and profane gestures in the pc and ps5 versions has been removed from both switch version releases the censorship setting is automatically turned on and there's no way to change that

So what does this mean for the full experience?

On Switch and Switch 2, you will still get to see every scene in the game's eight episodes, but a black sensor bar will pop up to cover any spicier visuals by default.

The usual stuff, genitals, bare nipples, gets covered, obviously, but we also notice the odd middle finger getting the bar treatment too.

We reached out to Ad Hoc Studios to ask why the setting has been removed and got the following response.

Different platforms have different content criteria.

And submissions are evaluated individually.

For our Switch release, we worked with Nintendo to adapt certain elements so Dispatch could be on their platform.

To be clear, no scenes have been cut from the Switch versions, but the profanity censorship toggle remains, so you can still hear swearing if you so choose.

However, the most drastic edit we noticed was a particularly steamy scene in Episode 4.

Oh yeah.

full of moans, groans, and swearing in the initial release, which now takes place with no dialogue or vocal audio whatsoever, even with profanity enabled.

Of course, this isn't the first time we've seen censoring from Nintendo platforms, from the famous Mortal Kombat gore removal in the 90s, all the way to more modern examples like the Tokyo Mirage Sessions Encore Switch release.

Nintendo is no stranger to wanting things clean on its consoles.

bar some notable exceptions like Cyberpunk 2077's detailed character customization naturally.

So that was not censored at all with Cyberpunk 2077.

Greg, what's your take on this?

What the fuck?

Dude, I was looking at that last night.

There's the feet stuff and everything.
