I'm proud of Nintendo for this move - it shows they're aware of sensitive issues at least... Somewhat?
It's a step in the right direction. It shows they're willing to come out from the old ways and acknowledge that society is changing, ultimately, for the better.

How miserable are you anon. please get better.

>>377357856
Except this gesture is not a recent change in society.

>doing a nazi salute is offensive
>raising a fist is offensive

I didn't even know this was offensive and I'm british

>>377357551
Wait the italian salute is just a raised hand?

New one is cuter.

>>377357856
Nintendo would have created the technology to patch a SNES game if it had an offensive enough gesture in it

>>377357551
Whats an italian salute?

>>377358330
It's where you whip out your spaghetti and meatballs

This was actually amazing because Nintendo included full patch notes. They're learning

>>377358449
Is this weird that this surprised me more than the censorship?

Nintendo really does love censorship lately.

What did they take out of Breath of the Wild after patch 1.1.1?

>>377358449
They only had patch notes for virtue signalling

Expect any patch that doesn't remove offensive content to be "improved general stability"

It actually already happened. Bowser made the same victory gesture in Mario RPG and it was edited before they released it outside Japan for the same reason. Question is, why didn't they do that ahead of time in this case?

new expression

As Beter Mcmuffin from my favourite show Houshold Person says, "Oh my god (he doesn't exist by the way :P) who the crap cares?"

>considered offensive in some territories, including France, Spain
>spain
i've lived on spain 30 years and never knew it was offensive

>>377359078
You actually typed this out

>>377359054
what was the old expression?

When I google it, I get little to nothing, a mixture of fists, nazi salutes, some greek antifa salute and a bunch of other stupid shit

Holy shit, I've been seeing this gesture for years and only now learned that it was an Italian thing. I always thought it was some generic Japanese pose.

>I always thought it was some generic Japanese pose.
It is when they use it, but it could easily been seen as an offensive gesture in countries the game was released with a kids rating.

You've never seen the old "cock up the arse" symbol? No-one calls it an Italian solute, but you'll know it.

Some people never go outside you know so they wouldn't know.

>>377359839

The japs do it often but like >>377360454
Points out it was often used in a vulgar stance.

No one does that in America anymore but it was meant to be insulting back then.
