THEY AREN'T BLOCKING JUST JAPANESE GAMES

https://store-jp.nintendo.com/item/software/D70010000077835?srsltid=AfmBOorJiwG8GYK5EI7Zp7ccIGbH-u2npxs5UKRurBTExxBOPUKHyKe1

An Italian game, Daymare 1994 Sandcastle was supposed to have a simultaneous global release in September, but in the end it only released in Japan. In America and Europe it's been delayed indefinitely.
The game is available on other platforms.
The Japanese Switch version of the game is already localized to multiple languages.
The only explanation is that NoA and NoE are intentionally blocking the release.

The game contains no nudity or sexy stuff, just violence and profanity that doesn't even reach Mortal Kombat levels.

NOA AND NOE HAVE GONE INSANE


Off topic but I suspect the Visa is acting on the behalf of the UN specifically the UN Women branch. About a good year or two ago there was a mass uptick on feminist outrage mobs on JP twitter, the nips called them Twifemi or something to that effect. These mobs targeted and canceled irl advertising of otaku related collabs like the Uzaki chan blood drive or the Love Live Orange ads at a mall along with many other things. Then they attacked Tawawa magazine ad however the magazine didn't cuck out and ignored them a few days later a JP UN women rep attacked the magazine and got btfo'd by the nips who where tired of the Twifemi mobs, the common belief was that the UN women branch were behind the flash mobs. Elon then bought twitter which switched up the algorithm switched from feminism to anime then months later the credit card companies started attacking DMM/Fanza. But notice once when the payment processors started attack otaku media that the feminist flash mobs disappeared.

>>697543081
there's a funny story behind that actually, for 5 days it was in fact the bikini gook spamming these threads alongside his demoralization propaganda
then people found out westoid games got hit too, and the faggot fucking vanished into thin air despite all his concern trolling about how he cared about JP games
this is literally just leeching off his janny protected status to bring a real issue to light

I'm glad all the old Atelier games released on switch before NoA went full tyranny. This would have been an instant ban.

>>697544515
Atelier games actually make money, so no way in hell NoA is blocking them. Same goes for Atlus etc.

Also, that's a leotard.

For now. One or two bans is all it takes to kill that momentum. Fortunately for Gust, they're targeting western gamers from the outset with their latest installment, so there's little risk of that.

Meanwhile that Funboxmedia waifu/hentai shlock keeps getting released, with their most recent one being "Otaku Cross: Naked Remix 2", which is cross dressing twinks.
These games have straight up full frontal nudity in them.

It's weird that browsing the Nintendo eShop or website, that games like "Hentai vs Evil" have so much visibility when the word is synonymous with Japanese illustrated pornography.

That Redneg game that got refused for international release also had a double-pack game published physically by Eastasiasoft / Play-Asia.
No nudity in these games, but some of the girls do have stupidly big boobs. The artist is not hard to find on Pixiv or Twitter where they post way bigger, more explicit stuff.

The games themselves are more casual bullet hell shooters that are apparently pretty good and serve as an entry point to the genre, but the art style and/or weirdly big boobs understandably turn a lot of people away. It's niche but nothing wrong with that.

Reason the entire NoA staff needs to be fired. Nintendo should just shut down NoA for good and translate their games in house.

>>697549519
It seems unlikely they were directly responsible, as something like Daymare isn't in line with their usual restrictions, and the Japanese market has been seeing the largest crackdown, while they were unaffected here.

>>697554415
It’s not influence, rather it’s repeated activism done under the rarer and actively hidden from the JP side. NoA/Treehouse has shown time and again that they’ll outright lie to NoJ to push their ideals.
Though, this is an ongoing fight from many western saboteurs. Remember the Samurai Maiden game was censored without the original developers knowing and it took JP mails to bring it to their attention that things were actively being modified and twisted.

>>697563005
If Nintendo were to flat out blocking titles from most of the world under extremely strict guidelines, it certainly will have an impact on game development. You don't have to care about the Playstation to see the impact that Sony's 2018 content restrictions have had on broader game development, including what gets put onto PC.

Censorshitters have cried wolf too many times for me to believe any of this.

It actually got a lot less worst too after the chaos head debacle, dungeon traveler to heart 2 is actually on steam.
And if these games do get blocked there's always other options like gog, that's why I said PC and not just steam.
That's the best part about PC being an open platform. There are options.
Unlike consoles.
I'm just mad some niggers here refuse to buy the Senran Kagura games on Steam because they believe and would rather wait for a switch port, hopefully this puts a fire up their ass.

No one plays games on Steam.

I’ll just import Japanese releases on Switch

>>697563517
The issue isn't Steam's restrictions (they are easy enough to bypass if a developer uses an off Steam patch), but initial development. Senran Kagura as a series effectively got killed off because Sony was generally the primary platform for development, and when Sony implemented their restrictions it killed off future development.

>>697563780
They could have gone to Nintendo at any time and chose not to. ;)

You should learn to accept by now that PC will never be a relevant platform for Japanese game development outside of the wave of indies, but I know mustards are too proud retards to admit things don't necessarily go their way. Your argument is also basically about running away from the problem: americans and other puritans dictating the creative "freedom" on foreigners.

Who fucking cares about Jap shovelware slop

What's a good way to share a youtube here without giving clicks/views to the original upload?
There's one of a guy claiming the Neptunia games aren't coming out because the ESRB might've updated their policies recently, and Idea Factory probably can't say why cause of NDA's so they're just saying Nintendo did it as a blanket statement, and Nintendo's just taking the blame to shield them from criticism(the fuck?).
Dude's throwing out a bunch of maybes, acting like he's giving "facts" and his audience are eating it up cause he's a dev from a few years ago, Sungrand Studios. I don't want to directly link his channel/video cause he legitimately comes across as a grifter, or at least a shill, but I think it'd be good for anons here to see the video cause arguments like his are likely to become the narrative if left unchecked.

>>697575376
I know what video you are talking about and he's full of shit
First he's pretending those two are the only games being banned when we know they are not
Second he's essentially calling the publisher a liar since they very clearly said the contents of the games failed to comply with Nintendo guidelines. This statement isn't ambiguous at all
Third he's said he's released games on Nintendo consoles since the 3DS or whatever and that Nintendo has never questioned the content of the games and whatnot but this is also meaningless because the point is that they are doing it now, we already know they weren't doing it before
Fourth is that ESRB has not updated any policies and even if they did, they obviously would have not updated them for Nintendo hardware alone. It's also impossible to believe PEGI in Europe would have updated said policies in the exact same way at the exact same time

It's all pure damage control

>>697575376
Sungrand is the opposite of a grifter.
Must suck eh, macaco? Having your little shitpost thread you keep spamming get debunked by a trustworthy source

>>697575376
Oh, that would explain it.

If Nintendo had changed their policies, they would have confirmed it.

I expected to be irritated clicking on it, but not as much as I was.

People have massive sunk cost. They want all their games in one place and they chose the wrong place with a console. So they cope over it, make excuses, and go through the five stages. If they care about these games, they need support them on an open platform like PC where they can freely exist as the devs intended. If anyone complaining can't do that because they're unwilling to change, then they are part of the problem.

>>697563517

Unfortunately people won't care unless a game they care about gets hit.
Look at that list. It's the safest list of targets ever. Only a very specific handful of people will notice these games are gone.
This has been happening sporadically for around a year and it's only now that people are truly investigating because Neptunia of all fucking things got hit.
When Neptunia is the biggest game you can point at, you won't be able to convince the brainless normalfag horde to support your cause. Until Nintendo fucks it up and blocks, I don't fucking know, Tsukihime or some shit, maybe Type Moon would be big enough for people to care.

This has been happening for a while leading up to the Switch 2. NoA is not a rogue branch that Nintendo just has no control over. This is Nintendo and Nintendo themselves have been showing some concerning signs and saying some concerning things for the past while. Like outright saying they want to be more DEI friendly or how games are going to take longer and be more expensive, or how TTYD still had changes in the Japanese version, XCX is censored, etc. This is just more to tack onto that and it doesn't bode well for what they seem to want for their new system.

>>697582224

>>697582224
True, and it sucks. Nintendo and Steam were the platforms that didn't want to censor or block things for a good while when Sony started to suck dick.
Then Steam started to suck dick and a few months later Nintendo also decided to join in sucking dick.
All three big ways to get games are sucking dick now. Luckily they're not the only ones, but if things keep going this way they'll join the others in no time.

>can't even write a complaint in japanese on their own and have to use MTL for it

While that's right for stuff like Neptunia, a good number of games we've tracked down so far that've been blocked aren't japanese to begin with. An Italian game, at least one Chinese game, and whatever tf Christmas Massacre is all got blocked. I'm actually glad you brought it up, because it's important to clarify that this isn't something that is entirely fixable by going 'just learn Japanese, lol' (which, for the record, I'm doing, kek).

Here's the truly bizarre thing, the devs' previous games were allowed western release on switch. And you might say that's also the case for the other games on the list but their latest game, Nurse Call, was allowed just LAST MONTH when the guidelines started like a year ago. Is there even any rhyme or reason to this shit or is it just a complete fucking toin coss on which games get blocked and which ones don't?

Why anyone expected nintendo of corporations to be a safe haven is beyond me. It's like sony ponies fled from one fuck up to another because they couldn't handle a pc.

There only needs to be one Neptunia game on the e-shop and then block every other entry.
Neptunia is a very good example of copypasting assets and passing it off as a new game. More so than Dark Souls. Play one and you've played them all.
You can speed through the shitty VN dialog bullshit and the text really does pass by in like 8 frames but fucking hell you have to wait 15 seconds for it to end.

Neptunia was pretty big on PC 10 years ago. I'd even say Nep and Senran Kagura were pretty big period, people used to buy a PS4 to play these series. Also Rebirth1 might singlehandedly be responsible for the PC ports floodgate we got later on. It's a much more important game than people give it credit and it sucks that Jewtendo of California censors it, it doesn't bode well for the future.

The arbitrary Steam ban of the all ages version of Angelic Chaos Re-Boot by Mary ended up actually costing Valve fairly significant amount of money if it would have sold at all like other Yuzusoft titles. On the extreme end, Senren*Banka by the same developer (Yuzusoft) has 27k reviews on Steam. That said, most of the sales are in Asia, and they are an 18+ developer, so despite the fact that it would have vastly outsold Chaos;Head Noah, it never drew much (English) backlash.

Code Z doesn't even have a rating yet and its banned. Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Spring and some of the other titles have an ESRB rating and are on PS4/PS5. Also Amairo Chocolate has this timeline on the publisher's website:

December 4, 2023
>The release date of the Nintendo Switch version of “Amairo Chocolate” has been decided on March 28, 2024 (Thursday).
January 12, 2024
>The rating has been assigned to ESRB: Mature.
February 22, 2024
>Notice of postponement of release.
>I regret to inform you that we have to postpone the release date of the product. We will notify you as soon as the distribution date and time is decided, so thank you for your understanding.
>(The change of release date is only for the U.S. and European regions.)

>Notification and Apology for the Cancellation of the Release of “Amairo Chocolate” for North American and European Regions. [Release]
>The physical and digital versions released in Japan and Asia include multiple languages (English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese).

A video with one or two good points but for the most part it's just speculation and the theories are a little ridiculous to be honest. If anyone doesn't want to watch the short video, he basically says:
-IFI probably doesn't have someone who knows how to submit the game again or how to deal with the approval process.
-Nintendo intentionally takes the blame to protect a business partner or the brand of IFI (it's as ridiculous as it sounds, ''protect their brand'' made me laugh).
-it might not be worth it because of high age ratings.
Yeah, his logic and arguments have at least one or two holes too, but anyway, here it is. https://youtu.be/-gR_w5t1PEc?si=1v8dPo_4K9ghi4p0

All available evidence points to the ESRB having zero to do with this. Speculation would be something like "is NoA doing this independently, or is NCL involved", blaming ratings organization though has strong evidence against that if looking at the full list of titles that have been blocked and their availability elsewhere.

>>697592734
Yeah. I watched the full video and as I said, I'm not convinced, only one or two (at best) good points but for the most part, just speculation or theories that are ridiculous when someone says it out loud, not to mention one or two holes, *if* Nintendo really doesn't have new guidelines or something, that still doesn't explain why a lot of games are MIA so to speak and the fact that the new Death end re;Quest game will still be published in the west for Sony consoles but not Nintendo Switch.

I suggest not giving video's like that direct views when possible, >>697576931 has the same video on another host.

Why would anyone think it is the ESRB? They rate all titles they get in some way (unlike CERO), and if they got a title they wanted to effectively block they would give it an AO-rating to effectively kill it. Titles with T-rated content aren't in any way being blocked by them.

>>697592652
>doesn't have someone who knows how to submit the game again
Bullshit. This can't possibly be the first time IFI has to resubmit shit. Remember the previous censorship cases and when they claimed that from a point onward, they wouldn't censor anymore and just skip the platform (talking about Sony back then).

>>697591045

>>697592652
Idea Factory just had a Touhou game come out while Neptunia was awaiting a final decision. They know how to submit games. Also it took Neptunia 7 months to be blocked to being banned, someone surely picked up the phone or sent an e-mail during that time asking what the hell is going on.

>>697591973
Because they literally aren't. And people are specifying PC anyway. The real reason why you're trying to make it about Valve and pretend that they're worse is because you want to cling to Nintendo. If that's what you want to do, then don't pretend you care about these kinds of Japanese games.

PC isn't an open platform like you think it is, you triple nigger. The Japanese are never going to make games beyond doujin levels on PC, let alone if it skips Steam which is pretty mandatory these days for any form of publicity, to maintain a sense of security against piracy (from the Japanese point of view), and considering a large chunk of the userbase won't buy elsewhere.

Really, nobody here actually knows what's going on behind the scenes, there's only speculations of various quality. The key question is how much NCL is aware of, and approving of these western bans (my bad to the anon sperging about "NoJ" earlier, lol). Hence why our best move is to persistently pester them wherever we can.
I don't actually have confidence that they'll listen and fix everything once they become aware of the issue, but at the very least if enough of us are loud about this, we can eliminate any reasonable doubt that Nintendo just isn't aware of this, and from there we can judge their reaction, or lack of, as a true sign of their stance, and act accordingly. It's fine if your messages are clumsily mtl'd and don't offer any info that other anons have surely sent, quantity's what's important. I just suggest not following a template message cause that might get marked as spam.
Anyone trying to make you not do anything, either by demoralization or false answers "It's just the ESRB!" should be heeded a niggerfaggot and ignored. Be annoying! I'm an anxious, non-confrontational bitch, and even I'm building the courage to message their twatter! J-just give me a bit...

Valve has more games that the Switch doesn't and the Switch is now banning, on top of the freedom to host easily accessible offsite patches for loli content. How is this less freedom? And that's just Valve, there are far more stores on PC.

>>697595790
>It LITERALLY is and you people are hard coping because you do not want to change.
You're only "coping" because you refuse to see the truth and reality of the PC scene. Steam is mandatory on a global scale and the most used service. If Steam decides to not allow a Japanese game being sold for inane reasons (muh poor little fictional """"underage"""" characters in a game for Japanese teens) then it severely limits its exposure on the PC platform.
>They already do. There are far more Japanese games on PC then there is the Switch.
I'm talking about developing full-fledged Japanese games on the likes on what we've seen on consoles, in terms of production values. Not doujin titles, ports of console games (that are still developing for consoles firstmost) or mobile gacha.

At the end of the day, your arguments have been nothing but dripping in ignorance and running away from the problem.

nta, but I think you're kind of missing the point of why what's happening is bad. Could these small studios self-publish for pc, ignoring any steam anti-japan trannies by simply sidestepping the issue? 100%, no one is going to disagree with you there. Now, is that a commercially viable move to make, especially when factoring in the reality of localization costs most of these games have? Fuck no. Being available on steam or the NA/European switch eshop is going to have way more exposure, and therefore sales.

>>697596236
My arguments are based on the platform that is best suited for these games and the safest haven for developer and consumer freedom and not some petty platform war bullshit. The only people tying themselves into knots are the ones who want to stick with Nintendo. You'd rather do that then support the devs and games on a platform that facilitates what they want to make, yet you gripe about limited exposure while trying to pretend Valve is both worse and the entirety of PC.
>I'm talking about developing full-fledged Japanese games on the likes on what we've seen on consoles, in terms of production values
I'm aware. Practically everything is ported and even just those bigger budget JP games, PC has way more of than the Switch.

You can tell this steamie had a lot of pent up frustration since his libertarian hero Gabe started banning games on Steam for arbitrary moralfag reasons and is now using these news to unwind
>SEE? I CHOSE THE LESSER EVIL!

>>697596498
I understand that. The thing is, PC is still the best place for them for numerous reasons and that's where they should be supported. Even if we only talk about Valve and Steam being crucial to a game's success, which isn't necessarily true because these are smaller budget titles and companies like Alicesoft have been around forever without Steam, Valve is less restrictive than Nintendo is. That is an objective fact. People trying to pretend PC is just Valve and that Valve is worse are merely trying to cling to Nintendo and not doing what is best for these games they supposedly care about.

>>697596497
That is because none of those games are allowed on the Switch to begin with. They're actual porn games, which only Valve allows and at least has the decency to let devs host the more dubious content that Valve doesn't want to risk getting in trouble for offsite.
If Nintendo sold any of those games as is, you'd have a point, but they don't. They don't sell them at all.

>>697596608
I think you're mentally ill and autistic (I guess that's a trait to be a PC master race user after all), because you keep missing the point that the market isn't that "open" as you believe to be.
Japanese games with any sort of actual budget (once again, anything beyond doujin-tier) are NOT going to skip the relevant platforms (such as consoles), and Steam is pretty much the sole one on PC. GoG has nowhere near the influence, nevermind the others.

Like I said originally, the problems are americans and anglos trying to get the Japanese by the balls, in what they're allowed to make. Valve, Nintendo of America, Sony Interactive Entertainment, etc. it doesn't matter which one. You keep ignoring the problem after all.

Since you are so proud of PC, imagine if steamfags had listened to you and not raised a stinker over Chaos;Head being blocked. "You should just support the game in whatever niche hole it ends, that would totally help more than getting it unbanned". Yeah, bullshit.

>>697595901
NCL is very likely not aware, all of these titles except the ones that completely skipped Nintendo are currently available in the Japanese eShop. All this stint is doing is damage Furukawa's plan to foster stronger ties with their third party partners (the neptunia guys were in the image they showed) little over a month after the fact. I don't think the suits over at Japan are gonna be happy when they're told "hey we won't release any more games on your consoles if we keep getting blocked in the west, we'll go back to sony"

>>697597470
Again, according to your retarded logic, people should have NOT tried to get Chaos;Head unbanned, they should have just "supported" the game by buying it on Switch instead.
Does it really look like people are defending Nintendo to you? When people are obsessively investigating what games have been blocked or "delayed", spamming NCL's inbox, trying to contact devs, trying to get to the bottom of this matter? Whenever someone has tried to play damage control by blaming rating boards or something they have rightfully been called retarded. You are arguing with a strawman.

I am not saying you shouldn't be shitting on and complaining to Nintendo about this. You should. You should be telling them to fuck off. I fully supported people shitting on Valve over Chaos;Head.
But I am also saying that you should support these games on the platform that actually treats them well and not just bend right back over for Nintendo.

Is there a non-18+ version of SnU that was banned/"delayed" by NoA or NoE?

>>697598056
knowing nintendo's hate for their own customers, this is going to end with even more games getting banned because there's so many crybabies in the west.

>>697598150
I'm sure if nitro+ tried to get it on switch, it was banned ages ago. It's been on steam for quite a while.

>>697598185
The most likely end result is probably for "important partner" games to have no restrictions, but for indie developers to be fucked over.

Great, you should be able to prove this happened like with the other games posted in the OP.

It's on GOG. If Switch was the only one that allowed it after coming out of the risk roulette, then I would say support that specific game on Switch.

>What. How did you get that from anything I said?
You keep repeating how much I'm defending Nintendo because I'm telling you that running away on the PC platform isn't going to solve anything for Japanese game development and distribution.
I'll repeat once again because your low-IQ brain refuses to understand simple facts:

Seeing how there are tons of theories of people saying it can be ESRB while these games are still being accepted on playstation and steam just makes me think it's some Nintendo of america/Europe employees damage controlling. Weirdly enough there are news about eShop accepting any game and not having filters. Curious how these articles are appearing now that we know they are blocking these games...

>>697598338
that's already the case elsewhere. big name devs can get away with whatever they want on other platforms. i guess nintendo really is finally reaching the next gen, they're throwing away the "any game is ok" ps3 philosophy and embracing the "censor shit we don't like" ps4 philosophy.

>>697598729
>I've already addressed all this.
Going on hypothetical tangents about MUH DEVELOPER AND CONSUMER FREEDOM isn't remotely close to how the business of videogames actually works.
Even if Japanese developers were to make full-fledged games exclusively for PC, with a high budget and production value alike to those previously seen on consoles, they WON'T skip Steam considering its massive influence on the platform. Which THEREFORE mean the problem of american companies and branches, and their weird guidelines, still hold up.

>>697599107
i think bg3 did actually get censored in japan, funnily enough. they didn't outright ban it though so that's a huge improvement.

Compared to DMM and DLsite? Yes, obviously, those are porn centric sites. But that's the whole point I've been making. DMM and DLsite are PC. And some of these porn games on these porn sites are getting hundreds of thousands of sales at this point, so I do not buy the argument that they just can't be successful unless it's Valve and we have to just live under Nintendo's thumb.
And yet Valve will also still host games like Mad Island, Living with Sister, Summer Memories, Harem Ranch Life, etc. that Nintendo would never touch with a ten foot pole even if Valve is by no means perfect.

>>697599419
In Japan, CERO absolutely will block titles from consoles in the country, because they have the ability to do so, which is outside of the publisher's control.

These are Neptunia games and other low budget titles. That's why they can risk throwing in skimpy loli characters and toe the line to begin with.
You keep arguing like I'm telling you not to even try to complain to Nintendo. Or that I'm talking to every single person who'd ever buy these games or to all of Japan as they slowly migrate to PC instead of just jumping on already. I'm talking to the people in this thread who supposedly care, yet want to cling to Nintendo rather than support these games where they have true freedom to be whatever the dev's want them to be. Where they can exist without being banned or under any influence from restrictive major platforms, regardless of whether that censorship is obvious or behind the scenes during production that nobody ever knows about.
Look at Clanpool. Steam didn't want it, GOG took it. That's more sales than it will get otherwise and GOG doesn't censor it or have DRM. Why will you personally not support it there?

>>697598140
Not if people keep supporting it fucking itself.

I was going to say that Japanese devs need to make their own Steam but then they would just get fucked over by payment processors.

Because that's not how the real world works. The higher the budget and production values are, the more a game needs exposure in order to sell and recoup the development costs.
Compile Heart games may be able to make concessions on certain platforms (and since they're still published on the Switch in Japan) but you can't apply that logic with everyone else.
And what if GoG decided one day it is no longer acceptable? Do you plan on running away to somewhere else once again and telling others to do the same? That's not you solve problems when the core of the issue are western branches acting rogue because a bunch of virtue-signaling fags and anti-Japanese racists are taking helm.

Don't get me wrong I'm enjoying Ryza but you can really tell with the sequels that they're trying too hard to please stinky gaijin. If you change too much in the name of pandering, then you can actually decrease or even eliminate what made fans enjoy the series to begin with.

It's like when Halo 2 pissed everyone off by just randomly ending.

Then Ryza 3 happens and whilst exploring is fun the rest of the game feels deeply unfinished and is all over the place. Ryza in her 20s acting like an old woman and saying she wants an apprentice, the strange ending and retardedly bad final boss.

I'm not doing that. I'm applying it to the kinds of games that can afford to be banned like this because they would rather risk being banned than not have skimpy little girls running around with their underwear showing. Bigger budget games don't worry about that because they're under the thumb of the masses more than anything else as they want a much wider audience.
>Do you plan on running away to somewhere else once again and telling others to do the same?
I will go to whoever has the balls to host the games, and if there's an option, I will choose PC 100% of the time for the freedom it allows. Which isn't hard, because PC gets all of these games.
>That's not you solve problems when the core of the issue are western branches acting rogue because a bunch of virtue-signaling fags and anti-Japanese racists are taking helm.
It's Nintendo. NoJ has full control over this, that is where the head is. NoA is under Nintendo's control. It is all one entity, they don't go rogue, that is a cope to try and pretend that Nintendo can't do anything about their own branch. Nintendo is simply operating globally and they've decided the west will not get these games to protect themselves and their image.

To me the thing that matters the most is if you have a friend working at Nintendo lol. KT, Bandai Namco, etc are big and in friendly terms with Nintendo. IFI/Compile Heart can't even bring their own games westside despite having an international publisher. So it feels that the name behind matters a lot.
Most of the gamedev forums and reddit says that it's hard to get your game approved by them, especially if you're a new dev and still have nothing to show. Some even says that not making your game using their dev kit is an instant reject no matter how succesful your game was on steam or not.
yet, nobody can explain why and how Nintendo approves so many low effort shovelware like all the AI chink shit or some other shit puzzle games btw.
