Yes. There's no logic to censorship. If the content was suitable for Japanese children, then I see no reason to change it before it reaches the States. (or Europe)

The ROM-hacking scene is shit. I just play imports with a rudimentary understanding of Japanese. I don't see any point in chopping up a game script and inserting some half-baked translation that has to make too many compromises due to space constraints. Worse, I don't want to play an "accurate" re-translation that gets riddled with Woolsey-isms.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of remakes. In my eyes if you're playing a game that's been significantly altered, you can't say that you've played the game at all.

>romhacks
I'll sometimes play hacks of games that I'm a fan of. Nothing wrong with having new content to play, even if it's not always (or often) of high quality. I also like translation hacks just fine, as long as they don't mess with how the game plays. Retranslations don't bother me, though I don't think making them is time well spent I'd still play them over a poorer official translation.

So you're telling me if someone was to play a super mario bros romhack where the only difference is that mario is now blue they haven't actually played the game?

willful ignorance in action, folks

uh, most fan re-translations do the opposite of that. you know, erase whatever teenage idea of "censorship" there was. you should be into it!

The only acceptable ones are nude mods and the like.
