Welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 censored video games, look who I found hanging around carl.

Hey, good to see for this list.

Will be looking at video games that had to be censored in various countries around the world due to their content warranted or otherwise.

Do you agree with these bits of censorship?

Let us know in the comments below Number 20 Street Fighter five, specifically things involving the female characters are Mika performed a seductive move.

The camera lingered on cammy during her entrance and the character select screen had what could only be described as a jiggle.

We'll let you guess what part of the body.

Jiggle.

Capcom claimed that the latter was a glitch, but it seems like the other two were entirely intentional.

Either way, all three were tweaked before the game's official release and it resulted in a divided reception among the street fighter community.

Number 19 crews in USA, a widely beloved arcade game, Cruisin Usa was eventually ported to the Nintendo 64.

Suffice to say the reception was not nearly as warm.

In fact, people hated it.

Not only was the performance abysmal, but the game was heavily censored to be more in keeping with Nintendo's family friendly reputation.

The Excel power shaft was renamed to just Excel Power.

The bikini clad women were either closed or moved entirely and it was now impossible to hit animals crossing the road regardless of these changes and the games generally negative reception.

It was still a huge commercial success.

Number 18.

Super Mario Kart Nintendo was really stringent about the brand throughout the nineties.

Even super Mario Kart of all games was censored in the original Japanese version, both peach and Bowser drink champagne to celebrate their victories.

Peach even gets a little drunk, which is evident by her reddening face.

This was censored for both the american and european releases.

In the censored versions that we know, Bowser simply holds the champagne bottle and Peach throws hers into the air.

Neither are seen actively drinking and we certainly don't see Peach enjoying her victory.

Number 17 Martha is dead, the wounds are feeding it, it will do things you do not like.

This horror game was released on all the major consoles in the winter of 2022.

However, one console version was not like the others.

The PlayStation release was notably censored as they were missing some of the game's most graphic content in both the xbox and PC versions, players were forced to interact with some troubling material.

Yet in the PlayStation version, the interactivity was absent.

Furthermore, the PS iteration comes equipped with an optional censored mode that removes even more content from the game.

Sony did not comment on the decision so we can only speculate as to why the game was censored on Playstation and not the other consoles.

They make us suffer remain confused and remove our self respect.

Number 16 The punisher, I know nothing of value weapons in toolbox, Please let me go based on the famous comic of the same name.

This was a violent game that earned a lot of attention for its content or lack thereof.

The punisher was so brutal that the srb was going to give it an A rating AO being the gaming equivalent of an NC 17 and receiving.

It is bad news for the commercial availability to get their product released, the developers were forced to censor the torture sequences.

They were given a black and white filter and the camera zoomed in to obscure the more grotesque visuals in Australia.

The censorship went even further and two scenes were completely removed from the game.

Okay I can help you with guys in the next room.

Let me do the talking number 15, command and conquer red alert.

Get Tanya inside so she can get Einstein out once you have located him, bring him back to your drop off point for immediate evacuation.

German players have no idea what they're missing when it comes to this classic.

In fact the german version has been so majorly altered that it's basically a whole new game for one thing.

The humans in the game were replaced by robots and instead of blood they spewed black oil.

Similarly the human prize were replaced with robot noises.

The last transmission, oh 900 hours, nothing many cut scenes were censored to depict something else.

For example, one scene has stalled in looking at a map rather than a video of gas attacks.

Many others were cut altogether, including the intro with Hitler and the airplane attack on the village.

Many of the problematic cut scenes were replaced with an image of the soviet logo.

Their weakness is power black out the base and nothing will stop you.

Number 14 Conker Live and reloaded.

Yeah.

This may be a re master of a beloved video game, but it took out everything that made the original Conkers bad fur Day so subversive.

The original was acclaimed but problematic featuring graphic violence, profanity and lots of sexual content.

Live and reloaded was originally going to be called live and uncut.

But this was changed after it was indeed cut.

No, I think I've had too much.

Specifically all the swear words were bleeped out.

Even some of the tamer ones that might be found in a T rated game.

It was a bizarre decision that infuriated fans of the Nintendo 64 masterpiece.

Somebody come for me number 13 F slash Indigo prophecy.

I'm leaving you here.

You mustn't move understand.

I'll be back soon to get you.

I hope, highly ambitious video game from David Cage Indigo prophecy was originally given the dreaded aO rating by the srb.

The north american release was significantly censored to receive an M rating and that included cutting a majority of the game's central content.

Most of the games, adult scenes were erased and one was heavily altered to mask the more graphic shots.

However, the European release was completely uncensored as is the 2015 re master.

It was given an M rating without any cuts needed to be made.

It's amazing what just 10 years can do when it comes to rating standards.

# 12.

Duke Newcomb 64.

Originally released on home computers, Duke Nukem three D received widespread praise and is heralded as an enormously influential first person shooter.

Its success guaranteed many ports and Duke Nukem three D.

Soon found itself on the Nintendo 64 but it was a completely different game.

New title and all virtually all adult content was censored to some degree.

Drug and sex references were taken out as was the profanity steroids were turned into vitamins, some levels were altered to remove offensive content, scantily clad women were clothed and strippers were pulled and some of the games more violent visuals were either modified or removed altogether.

Who wants some # 11.

Wolfenstein three D.

Mhm.

These three D.

Games caused quite a stir throughout the nineties.

Once again we have Nintendo not wanting to tarnish their family friendly brand with violent content so they required some major changes to be made before Wolfenstein three D.

Was released on the super Nintendo.

There's the typical stuff like the lack of blood and dogs turning into rats and then there's some more unique aspects like changing Hitler's name to stop meister and removing his mustache.

In fact there is no Nazi symbolism whatsoever and the enemies now spoke english instead of german, these were changes that restyled the very fabric of Wolfenstein, a series that prides itself on its Nazi killing content.

Number 10 Carmageddon a racing game.

Unlike any other Carmageddon wanted to offend you in this one.

It's not checkpoints that earned the player additional time but running over pedestrians.

Not only that, but specific levels could only be completed by killing all the pedestrians rather than crossing the finish line race.

Yeah, unsurprisingly this caused quite the reaction.

In various international versions, the humans were replaced with other zombies or robots.

It significantly blunted the games infamous edge, but that's nothing.

Some countries refused to even rate the game and it was banned outright.

# nine.

No More Heroes.

Well it's safe to say that Nintendo changed their tune when it came to brand image released for the WII.

In 2008, No More Heroes was an exceptionally violent game in which players controlled an assassin with a beam katana.

The north american release contained all the blood and savagery that one would expect from such a concept.

However, the game was modified for both its european and japanese releases there.

The blood was either recovered black or removed entirely in the base game, certain move sets would result in extremely graphic instances of violence naturally.

These were taken out as well, funnily enough, the eventual PS report was uncensored in europe # eight Ice Climber.

Nintendo censorship goes all the way back to the eighties and the very first Nintendo entertainment system developed by Nintendo themselves.

Ice climber was originally an arcade game before it was ported to the NES one year later.

The original version was quite dark and it had the player clubbing seals with a hammer seal.

Clubbing is a very controversial practice and Nintendo knew it.

So they censored their own game for the north american market, changing the cute seals into Yeti like monsters, the characters survived the ordeal and later gained worldwide fame as playable fighters in the Super smash Brothers series.

Mhm.

Number seven Saints Row four.

Anyone else feeling anything, nope, maybe it takes a minute to kick in.

It wasn't all the killing that the Australian rating board had a problem with.

It was the drug use, specifically the alien drug use in the mission, psychosomatic.

The player takes some type of unknown alien narcotic and acquires superpowers.

This was a no go for the Australian censors.

It's like every muscle in me is gonna holy crap.

We have superpowers.

I know right, They have a rule that illicit drug use in a game cannot result in fund or enviable rewards.

So they outright refused to rate the game.

This would have resulted in a countrywide ban.

So Deep Silver was forced to remove the mission, It remains unavailable in native Australian copies to this date.

Now, that was awesome.

Number six, Fallout three.

Hey, is that you?

Oh my head's still ringing from that explosion.

What happened while generally considered a masterpiece fallout three had a lot of trouble when it came to censorship.

The game ran into problems around the globe in Australia.

It faced the same situation as Saints Row four as the use of morphine rewarded the player.

So it was censored in Germany.

The blood and graphic violence caused a stir.

So it was censored.

It caused a host of problems in japan and you guessed it was censored in the japanese version.

It is impossible to detonate the atomic bomb in megatons.

Furthermore, the Fat Man weapon was renamed Nuka launcher.

Both are the result of lingering pain regarding the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

You may have the honor of pressing the button oh and mind your eyes, it'll be brighter than bright.

Number five Manhunt two.

The first manhunt was already a bundle of controversy yet that was nothing compared to the outcry behind Manhunt two.

Shortly before the game's release, Rockstar got some bad news.

The game would essentially be band around the globe as both the B.

B.

F.

C.

And the I.

F.

C.

O.

Rejected it and the Srb slapped it with an A rating.

I like that heavy censorship was needed to pass the game with an m like placing a filter over the executions and removing some of the more violent ones entirely.

It would take over a year for the game to be released in the power region as it required a lengthy court battle.

An uncensored version was later released for Windows and is one of the rare games to carry an A rating Number four South Park.

The stick of truth, Oh, oh after labor, it's South Park censorship comes with the territory.

Luckily Matt stone and Trey Parker were there with a rebuttal.

The stick of truth was self censored by Ubisoft and the north american release was the only one to remain in its intended form.

The game was censored in every other area and various scenes were completely removed.

Move move.

Oh the german release saw even heavier censorship as all nazi imagery was taken out for the country's law Parker and stone ridiculed the removals and included a placeholder in their stead.

The placeholder was that of a face palming statue or a crying koala in Australia accompanied by a graphic and detailed description of the cut content.

Consider me your friend until we meet again.

# three Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

The G Ta series has been the subject of controversy since its inception, but it wasn't the incredible violence that eventually got a band.

It was the kinky stuff.

Shortly after the game's release, the modern community found a particularly naughty bit of code so they activated it when the mod was downloaded and enabled it allowed the player to perform a graphic mini game involving CJ and his partner look who I found hanging around carl.

Hey, good to see you.

The srb caught wind and immediately changed the rating from M two AO.

This caused a public relations nightmare for Rockstar.

They were forced to pull the game from shelves, remove the code, compensate.

Nearly 3000 people threatening class action litigation and re released the game with an M rating.

Number two.

Left for dead too.

This zombie slaying game was essentially abandoned, both Australia and Germany as it was denied a rating and therefore could not be sold according to the censor boards, the graphic violence exceeded what was acceptable and the game needed to be significantly censored for mass market release at the time.

Australia's highest rating was something called M.

A 15 plus.

However, this was later increased to R 18 plus in 2013.

It was then that left for Dead two was finally released in all its brutal and uncensored glory Germany didn't get an uncensored version until 2021.
