It's all about power and control. The ccp will do anything and everything to hold on to both, no matter what. Their egos are just too fragile and massive. They have no shame.
People died playing Pokemon Go because they were either going to places like outside the railings on bridges and falling off, or walking off cliffs and bridges while not looking up to see where they were going. And of course, walking into traffic cuz they were glued to the tracker function.
1st game I ever bought, Duke 3D, was censored here in Australia. You blew an enemy up with the rpg, you heard the squelch, but they just disappeared, no gibs. Also the chicks trapped in the alien cocoons were invisible. So were the strippers, but you could still give them money and tell them to "shake it baby". The EXE from the uncensored version went around school pretty quickly xD
Fun Fact: Thanks to China's policy on superstitions, in the game Bloons Tower Defense 6, one of the heroes named Sauda who usually has a Jiangshi skin (a Chinese hopping vampire) was replaced with a cat suit in the Chinese version. (I find that odd as Sauda is a monkey, wearing a cat suit?)
I can read Chinese, but not able to make out Xi Jinping's name on the talisman... maybe is written in the faint red ink? In case anyone is interested, the Chinese steam review says "Game is good, but there no reason for this act of sleight (refers to the easter egg). Doesn't Taiwan need a reason to stay alive? Just wait for our military takeover". The level of sensitiveness here is unbelieveable. Regardless horror games get me interested, maybe I'll try the game out.
Mortal Kombat was not completly banned in Germany. I remember playing one game, on the Super Nintendo, where they replaced all the blood with sweat (not sure if thats better), but there was one of those codes where you can unlock the blood version. It is so minor it didn't really make a difference.
I had this game store where they sold me all the games that were banned/censored "unter dem Ladentisch." That store turned into a GameStop, and they still did it
@@Mett_Eagle It's cool when stores do you personal favors like that. I had a rather strict GameStop who wouldn't sell me Resident Evil 4 or F.E.A.R.2 until I came of age. I was 17, the games were 18+.
@@PikaLink91well call me what you want, but if i see such stores (who sell illegal games) i am the guy who would report them🤷♂️ despite being gamer myself.
Here in the US, Mortal Kombat got the censored treatment on the SNES (replacing blood with sweat as well as altering some fatalities) and no blood code; but the SEGA Genesis version, while also censored, had the blood code, giving gamers the opportunity to play it as it was meant to be played.
For years, gaming has always been corrupted by entities who are sensitive to literally everything about every game you've played. As an PS/Xbox/Switch/Mobile gamer, a lot of the games I played are extremely violent, and are probably banned in Germany or China. Hypocrisy is such a sad little creature...
Yeah but people gotta have an opinion about everything, even for a medium they aren't part of. It's like how it is always white people getting offended on the behalf of black people whenever something is deemed racist, or how people complained that Speedy Gonzales was a racist mexican charicature but the actual Mexicans loved him.
10:05 That's the real idea for the Human Shape Pokémon, and as a side note, Jynx is Ice/Psychic. That makes Steel, Bug, Ghost, Dark, Rock, and Fire super-effective against it.
"Shadow the Hedgehog" was a good game and it didn't bother me that Shadow said "Damn", at least they kept that in and changed the Black Arms' aliens' blood to green.
I find it so silly and ludicrous that a word like “damn” made huge controversy waves 😂 like…really?? It’s not like it was “motherf**ker” “c**t” or even “assh*le” 😂 man, people are so soft it’s ridiculous

15:28 The Chinese version of World of Warcraft has removed skeletons. Yup, skeletons are no longer in the game. No fighting skeletons and no skeletons signifying you've resurrected. Enemy skeletons now have flesh on them and dead players are symbolized by a tombstone.
I like to think that the reason behind Jynx having the appearance it did in Gen 1 of Pokemon was due to the limited availability of colors of Game Boy handhelds back when Gen 1 released. Maybe from the Trainer's view, it still did have the purple skin it does now, but we as the player couldn't see that thanks to limited hardware of the Game Boy.
Another instance of German Censoring were the earlier Command & Conquer Games. The Humans were exchanged with Robots or Cyborgs who bled black oil and made a metallic squishing sound when you ran them over with a tank (like crumbeling a can). C&C Generals was a special case: It was sold for a short time uncensored, but banned for "glorifying war". It was re-released after the "Robot Treatment"
@@loboblanco4426 yes, for using anticonstitutional symbols. And in later Games all Swastikas have been removed. Duke 3d was also censored/banned. In the censored version blood and Strippers were removed. You could still tip the air...
Here's another thing that was modified overseas in a Mario title. In Mario Party 2, Western land has the players as deputies and Bowser as an outlaw: Bowser the Brash. In the duel mini-games, which work as a quick-draw, and the ending scene where the board winner beats Bowser in a quick draw. It was originally guns even though no bullets were shown. Overseas it was modified to popguns.
One I expected to see on the list was Battlefield 4. China banned it for “discrediting China's image abroad and distorting the truth in an effort to mislead young people”, because of the campaign storyline
There are lots of people who hate on Shadow the Hedgehog for him being "too edgy" and for the game not being a traditional Sonic game, and it's one of the first Sonic games to be rated a PEGI 12 in Europe and the UK. But I would've loved it more if it hadn't been censored as much as it is. Just my opinion. As in, in the TV shows and as hinted in previous video games, Shadow had a tragic backstory. And the cussing and extra violence would have helped us players see a bit further into his head, and it would be been more accurate in displaying his (spoiler alert) confusion and grief regarding his lost memories and his late wife.
N64 Goldeneye which is the third best seller on that console, was banned in Germany for violence but it’s been unbanned because they re-review games after 25 years
The MOTHER series has had some interesting examples of censorship. MOTHER 1: Religious references and blood was altered for obvious reasons. MOTHER 2: Same thing. But had some dialogue changes and some interesting sprite changes. Most notably the red crosses on hospitals were removed, the doll and octopus statues were changed into pencil and eraser statues, the title was changed to EarthBound since it released in the USA before MOTHER 1, and Ness is wearing pajamas in Magicant. MOTHER 3: Never got a USA release. It has a fan translation though. There’s probably some more, but these are some that I remember.
So actually the Metal Gear Solid "tickling" censorship in Japan actually had a kinda cool lore reason for doing it. Solid Snake would be trained to resist pain, but not something like tickling. As dumb as this sounds, unconventional ways of torture have been used all around the world a lot more often than you'd think throughout history. Water torture? Sleep deprivation? Annoying sounds blasting in your ears? Cold and heat? Tickling is not far off from these. Still it was done for censorship to remain legal. Plain and simple. But at least they added an plausible spin to it. Also, if I understand correctly, *all* of Fallout's drugs had real life names that were changed to prevent censorship in certain countries. Mentats were amphetamine, jet was PCP, Psycho was coke ect.
kinda was expecting 1 more: Command & Conquer Generals I still have the first release in my posession where 3 generals fight theyr troops. It was later censored and the generals where replaced with robots. Problem was that any update or addon pack did not work with this original one.
postal 2 is a timeless classic. 21 years later after its release it’s still a banger and stupid fun. postal 3 is a fun quake style shooter with the boys if you can get enough people
About the Pokemon Go controversy you talked about, there ARE warnings (in the UK version, anyway) that pop up every time you open the app, telling you not to trespass into unauthorised areas or dangerous locations, to keep AWARE of your surroundings whenever you play, not to play the game while driving, and when using the AR mode, to keep a closer eye on your kids than on your phone. I don't know if this is in any releases besides the UK version, but that's what we have.
12:54 The restriction on alcohol in video games wasn't limited to Nintendo of America; the North American release of Breath of Fire 4 on the Playstation saw Scias being similarly censored, hiding his drinking habit by replacing the hiccups in his dialogue with a stutter.
I remember buying the first manhunt game on the ps2 but after a year the game was banned in Australia for its excessive violence and manhunt 2 wasn’t even submitted for release in Australia so we didn’t even get that
Pls make a new channel: BE AMAZED GAMING a channel not just for videos of playing game's like minecraft, or any nintendo games, but explaining them and the gamers too.
Love your voice I'm glad you are back!! With the Mario Kart from SNES the characters are adults so makes sense if they drink alcohol 😅 Some are vídeo games with senseless violence like Postal or Carmaggedon at least in Mortal Kombat one fights for their lives
6:16 - as a former game tester, I can assure you there is still at least 1 copy of the original game out there somewhere, either on a burned CD or on a USB Drive.
13:12 Like this moment. Tummy Trouble (1989) Surgeon (voice of Corey Burton): Okay, let's cut him open! 😷 Roger Rabbit (voice of Charles Fleischer): Just give me a bi-carb.

Hey Be Amazed, next video on banned & censored video games, you should add the trivia that in the Japanese version of the Super Bomberman R series, Karaoke Bomber in Japan was called, Sexy Bomber!
I find the concept of the game quite funny, although I've never played it before. What these sorts of games needs is a warning for everyone to read as the game boots up that the game contains offensive content and is not supposed to be played by kids. same with Carmageddon. That would've saved the games from some controversy and hate I think.
Hi Be Amazed, I loved this video talking about censorship in countries. And I hope there is going to be a part 2 of this become I know of Australia censoring the saints row saints specially saints row 4. Ps I live in Australia.
“Mario Rampage” was an online flash game that got banned because it had Mario running around shooting enemies with a shotgun. And yes: goombas exploded and every enemy let loose a spray of blood when shot
I think the laughing is more creepy and disturbing than screaming would have been 😲 Carmageddon was an amazing game, I remember when it game out. There were patches available online to put the humans back into the game and they released the "Splat Pack" 5 months after the game came out
There is still a kind of 'gambling' in a later Poke'mon game. In Mystery Dungeon, you can build a 'prize palace' that lets you buy scratch tickets and 'random' tickets.
The other thing about Jynx is that, it might be based on a more recent Japanese culture, Ganguro is a Japanese fashion trend. The word Ganguro is Japanese for "Black Face". The style usually. Ganguro. involves a light-orange tan, white makeup, and blonde hair.
Nah, that fashion becoming popular (the timing of it) doesn’t line up with something people the age of the designers would look at. She actually fits the description of an ice yokai, the Yama-uba, "her unkempt hair long and golden white ... her kimono filthy and tattered" plus add in some frostbitten skin (the worst stage leads to black necrotic skin. Less severe levels can cause blue or purple skin) and some feminine lips. In fact, the description of the yokai is similar enough to ganguro that the most extreme level of ganguro fashion shares her name.
There was a case in Malaysia where the ENTIRE Steam platform was banned because it promoted a single game called Fight of Gods, which, as the name implies, you have religious figures as playable fighters. That was a straight up overreaction.
Postal and Carmageddon. Classics. I do have to admit that Postal 2 and Carmageddon II (Carpocalypse Now) are much better than the first games. I remember hearing more the outcry with Carmageddon II about running over animals and the sounds they made from doing so.
Im from Denmark, and I didnt knew he had a banned game.. But I do understand why EA didnt make an DK version.. under 6million citizen in total, and pretty much unknown sport (at the time) Not enough copies would be sold. And we would just buy it from Sweden, Uk or Germany for full version
Here’s a weird version of censorship: Crash Bandicoot 2 on the PlayStation. The Japanese version of the game was censored for a rather morbid reason. In the levels Snow Go, Snow Biz, and Cold Hard Crash, there are crushers that try to flatten you into the ground, and if successful, Crash will be left with only his head and shoes waddling around. While pretty funny, the death was changed to be completely flattened in the Japanese version because it resembled the severed head and shoes left behind by a Japanese serial killer that was on the loose in the 90’s.
In censored versions of TF2, if someone dies to an explosion, rather than exploding into bloody gibs, they explode into a bunch of junk, which are gibs used in pyrovision, the way the pyro class sees the world...at least you got free pyrovision goggles...kinda.
In the original C&C, a player could run over troupes in a tank with a "splat" sound. In the German version, however, the sound was a "crunch" because the "troupes" were robots.
You know as an artist my opinion of censorship is not really great. In some cases censorship can be pretty good. But in my personal opinion like most things in the world, you give them an inch they go a mile. I swear we're going to eventually have to figure out a way to police the censoring in censorship.🙇♂️
When someone doesn't like something you said about him then that doesn't mean he has insecurities, it just means you need to stop bullying. Because this is what bullying is.
What's really odd is the heavy censorship on video games compared to music. Although I would never admit that rap is actually music, how many teenagers are able to obtain "music" containing vulgar language or violence?
"Hatred" weren't legal to release on any console, so it stayed PC exclusive forever.
Manhunt 2 gameplay became almost broken when they censored the game as it were designed for motion controls on Wii.

About the Pokemon Go controversy you talked about, there ARE warnings (in the UK version, anyway) that pop up every time you open the app, telling you not to trespass into unauthorised areas or dangerous locations, to keep AWARE of your surroundings whenever you play, not to play the game while driving, and when using the AR mode, to keep a closer eye on your kids than on your phone.
I don't know if this is in any releases besides the UK version, but that's what we have.
POP*** up dammit autocorrect
Why is Call of duty not here, no russian mission was reworked
12:54 The restriction on alcohol in video games wasn't limited to Nintendo of America; the North American release of Breath of Fire 4 on the Playstation saw Scias being similarly censored, hiding his drinking habit by replacing the hiccups in his dialogue with a stutter.
Postal 2 was such a stress reliever, I should play it again
I remember buying the first manhunt game on the ps2 but after a year the game was banned in Australia for its excessive violence and manhunt 2 wasn’t even submitted for release in Australia so we didn’t even get that
Pls make a new channel: BE AMAZED GAMING a channel not just for videos of playing game's like minecraft, or any nintendo games, but explaining them and the gamers too.
I second this notion
Love your voice I'm glad you are back!! With the Mario Kart from SNES the characters are adults so makes sense if they drink alcohol 😅
Some are vídeo games with senseless violence like Postal or Carmaggedon at least in Mortal Kombat one fights for their lives
18:48 oh no... fallout? It's the best game
6:16 - as a former game tester, I can assure you there is still at least 1 copy of the original game out there somewhere, either on a burned CD or on a USB Drive.
Please don't AI generate your thumbnails. It looks bad. 😣
Update:
Thank you. 😌

Like this moment.
Tummy Trouble (1989)
Surgeon (voice of Corey Burton): Okay, let's cut him open! 😷
Roger Rabbit (voice of Charles Fleischer): Just give me a bi-carb. I'll be fine! 😁
Surgeon: *activates a chainsaw*
Roger Rabbit: Yaaaaaaaah! 😱
Surgeon: *raises it up, then a whistle blows* Lunch! *he and the rest of the surgeons dash out of the operating room for lunch break*
That chainsaw is looken sus ☠️
What is this new timing? I'm used to stay awake at night... Anyways any beamazed content i'll take it
IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE DAMN THUMBNAIL!?💀
It’s straight cringe
It’s straight BOOTY
I love your channel :)

Hey Be Amazed, next video on banned & censored video games, you should add the trivia that in the Japanese version of the Super Bomberman R series, Karaoke Bomber in Japan was called, Sexy Bomber!
Postal 2 DESERVED to be banned.
I find the concept of the game quite funny, although I've never played it before. What these sorts of games needs is a warning for everyone to read as the game boots up that the game contains offensive content and is not supposed to be played by kids. same with Carmageddon. That would've saved the games from some controversy and hate I think.
No. that was Postal 3. awful game that even RWS disavowed. Postal 2 was funny as fuck
Postal 2 is a great game why do you hate it?
Hi Be Amazed, I loved this video talking about censorship in countries. And I hope there is going to be a part 2 of this become I know of Australia censoring the saints row saints specially saints row 4. Ps I live in Australia.
Well if Postal is Dark. Don't forget Fallout gives you a chance of Nuking one of its towns right at the start of the game!
And nuking Megaton isn't censored in germany. Classic
Thanks for the upload!

“Mario Rampage” was an online flash game that got banned because it had Mario running around shooting enemies with a shotgun. And yes: goombas exploded and every enemy let loose a spray of blood when shot
I Farted
Why let us know?😐
@@kellyirwin9371 why not?
I don't care
@@HappyGolfBall-xn4yt damn chill it aint that deep💀
I think Big Boss laughing at the pain is better than screaming. Makes the whole scene better
1 minute gang

if you ban violence in video games, are we supposed to commit violence outside videos games?
Am i first?
Edit: holy shit
idk
properly
Yes and no
yes
yea
Brahman is also the name of a breed of cow, one that is specifically an indicus breed. As opposed to a taurine cow.
Love your video. Be Amazed and keep up the great work you are awesome
I think the laughing is more creepy and disturbing than screaming would have been 😲
Carmageddon was an amazing game, I remember when it game out. There were patches available online to put the humans back into the game and they released the "Splat Pack" 5 months after the game came out
There is still a kind of 'gambling' in a later Poke'mon game. In Mystery Dungeon, you can build a 'prize palace' that lets you buy scratch tickets and 'random' tickets.
But what if your trying to save the Typhlosion before a oncoming train runs it over and possibly gives PTSD to the train operator?
The other thing about Jynx is that, it might be based on a more recent Japanese culture, Ganguro is a Japanese fashion trend. The word Ganguro is Japanese for "Black Face". The style usually. Ganguro. involves a light-orange tan, white makeup, and blonde hair.
Nah, that fashion becoming popular (the timing of it) doesn’t line up with something people the age of the designers would look at. She actually fits the description of an ice yokai, the Yama-uba,
"her unkempt hair long and golden white ... her kimono filthy and tattered"
plus add in some frostbitten skin (the worst stage leads to black necrotic skin. Less severe levels can cause blue or purple skin) and some feminine lips.
In fact, the description of the yokai is similar enough to ganguro that the most extreme level of ganguro fashion shares her name.
So much Evangelion references for some reason.
IT IS GREAT

There was a case in Malaysia where the ENTIRE Steam platform was banned because it promoted a single game called Fight of Gods, which, as the name implies, you have religious figures as playable fighters.
That was a straight up overreaction.
When I was a kid (all the way to my 14), I played games like GTA 3, GTA Vice City, Duke Nukem 3D and Wolfenstein Return to Castle and Enemy Territory
Postal and Carmageddon. Classics. I do have to admit that Postal 2 and Carmageddon II (Carpocalypse Now) are much better than the first games. I remember hearing more the outcry with Carmageddon II about running over animals and the sounds they made from doing so.
Dr. Mario is Mario dressed as a doctor, doing his medical duties!
I knew it!! Never trust Dr. Mario anymore!!
Kinda like how Cloud Strife is dressed as a member of SOLDIER and pretending to be a good character.
Always really interesting videos on this channel
Im from Denmark, and I didnt knew he had a banned game.. But I do understand why EA didnt make an DK version.. under 6million citizen in total, and pretty much unknown sport (at the time) Not enough copies would be sold. And we would just buy it from Sweden, Uk or Germany for full version
0:40 The heart got me cracking up! *BEEP* *BEEP* Serotonin detected
Here’s a weird version of censorship: Crash Bandicoot 2 on the PlayStation. The Japanese version of the game was censored for a rather morbid reason. In the levels Snow Go, Snow Biz, and Cold Hard Crash, there are crushers that try to flatten you into the ground, and if successful, Crash will be left with only his head and shoes waddling around. While pretty funny, the death was changed to be completely flattened in the Japanese version because it resembled the severed head and shoes left behind by a Japanese serial killer that was on the loose in the 90’s.
21:48 Is more probable to find Aron near railroads, cause it need to eat metal to grow.
In censored versions of TF2, if someone dies to an explosion, rather than exploding into bloody gibs, they explode into a bunch of junk, which are gibs used in pyrovision, the way the pyro class sees the world...at least you got free pyrovision goggles...kinda.
In the original C&C, a player could run over troupes in a tank with a "splat" sound. In the German version, however, the sound was a "crunch" because the "troupes" were robots.
I think there's a misunderstanding, the beloved character is Winnie the Puuh, the insecure little man of a dictator is Winnie the POO
i can 100% understand and approve of their acts because im a Taiwanese XD
1:35 I genuinely laughed at this😭
The video's thumbnail is literally crazy😂
Its the most AI thing i have ever seen
@@jamesThebulbmin doesn't look ai to me looking more like sfm
It’s been changed to the Winnie the Pooh ban in china now
But isn't being compared to a lovable and friendly character like Pooh a compliment?
17:38 I played the original UNCENSORED 'Carmageddon' PC game, and I played the newer console version, both great fun games
You know as an artist my opinion of censorship is not really great. In some cases censorship can be pretty good. But in my personal opinion like most things in the world, you give them an inch they go a mile. I swear we're going to eventually have to figure out a way to police the censoring in censorship.🙇♂️
I Loved this bit 11:40 it sounds like someone shaking a small Groan Tube Noise Maker. I miss them toys
When someone doesn't like something you said about him then that doesn't mean he has insecurities, it just means you need to stop bullying. Because this is what bullying is.
What's really odd is the heavy censorship on video games compared to music. Although I would never admit that rap is actually music, how many teenagers are able to obtain "music" containing vulgar language or violence?
