Nintendo rejected this game because it was too dark? HAHA wtf

[☣HELLRAZORANGEL™]

I knew Nintendo had a hard on for puffta ♥♥♥♥ but damn what is so disturbing about this game that they rejected it?

[Punchy]

Rejected on the grounds of religion.

Because you can show all the gore in the world in a videogame but start getting potentially offensive to certain people's belief systems (it's not even like this game sets out to actively piss on the religion, it's mostly just a incredibly dark reinterpretation of a common religious tale) and Nintendo will have none of it.

Ninty's censorship policies are nowhere near as strict as they were in the NES days but they are still undoubtedly there.

BoI has a crudload of items that pretty much seal it away from Nintendo forever. Just a few are:

1. Religious themes

2. Disturbing factor (huge example: listen to the credits music after ending 10)

3. Items and monsters that don't bother to fly under the radar (Mom's Bra/Pad, the Vis mobs)

All in all while this game is ultra addicting, I would not want my 4-9 year-old relatives playing this.

[Lorx]

How is this game...not dark? I love it, it's a really fun game, but it hits most every checkpoint for "what you should not let kids play", and the Wii is marketed as a family thing. It's not even just religion, the blood, poop, story as a whole, it's just not family friendly, and doesn't belong with nintendo's vision for the Wii.

[lastres0rt]

Child sacrifice, naked little boys (with stick figure penises), and a buttload of religious blasphemy isn't reason enough?

It's a good game, but I'm not shocked it doesn't fit Nintendo's family-friendly branding.

[JasonS]

All the Child-abuse references really creep me out.

Like the "Tough Love" item that looks like brass knuckles and causes Isac to spit teeth

Or the item that looks like a can of dog-food that's called "Dinner"
Or the item that looks like rotten milk that's called "Breakfast"
And "Mom's Purse" which is full of pills.
And the "Best Friend" item that's actually an exploding corpse

[Chaos Undecided]

The gore, disturbing themes, insane Mother and the fact that your weapon is your own tears is what makes the game so genius. Never gets boring, never holds back, never goes too far, never fails to be fun and above all never has nothing to do.

[GRVY]

This game is a monstrosity, of course it was going to get rejected

[Arsenic Candy!!!]

There are monsters called Buttlickers that run around in a chain licking each other's butts and eating poop. Vis are basically bodies with a big vagina that shoots a stream of blood. I don't know what you know about Nintendo, but I've never seen anything like that in any of their games.

I thought Nintendo was trying to draw a new group of gamers to there gaming devices other then kids, and they turn and do this? :/

I thought the same but according to the numerous posts here I guess Nintendo really is only interested in family friendly puffta games (and their quick buck shovleware of course). Guess I have no idea what all the hype was about bringing "mature" titles to their system(s) and showing off gore from different games was about? It just screamed, “Look at us we got hardcore games too!” to me…. But maybe it’s just as someone said earlier you can have all the gore in the world but start getting potentially offensive to certain belief systems and you get scrapped.

Have you even played the game? It's the most disturbing game I have played in my life...

what do you find so disturbing about it?

It's main character is a naked weeping child who fled to a hellish basement to escape from his mother who has abused and neglected him and tried to murder him because god told her so. It continually references child abuse and humiliation. It's a very compelling game but very dark and very disturbing. I'd be surprised if sony or microsoft would allow it.

[Node Graph out of Date]

Well it's just one of those games that get more creepy the more you know about it.

[Roler42]

I think it was more about keeping religious fanatics (or groups) away from them, hence the rejection of the game (as awful as it is, i mean come on, the game is awesome)

>Potentially offensive?
Have you played this game?

>Also, puffta games? What are you, eight?
Just because a game's not grimdark and edgy enough it automatically becomes childish?
Enjoy your Call of Rehash and Gears of Gore.

You also know that NIntendo doesn't actually make all the games that go on their consoles right?
Sonogamesy isn't responsible for many games on their systems, that's for sure.
Same goes for Micro$oft.
The so called "quick buck shovelware" can be found on all platforms.
