Is the game censored, or it's just the promo art?

Asking before before purchasing

[ComingDragon]

It's not censored in Japan

[Code Mystics]

To reiterate, the ROM, in-game art, and function have not been altered from the 2003 release. The opening disclaimer provided for us to include likewise states that it "faithfully receate[s] the content of the original game at the time of release in 2003" and "is provided as is, respecting the original intent of the game."

Edit to add: this applies to all regions. There is no distinct Japanese version of the game. Steam Store artwork may or may not vary per region, but we aren't privy to that.

Who at SNK provided the disclaimer?

Your disclaimer says "as much as possible". What wasn't possible?

To be clear the disclaimer is not our creation, but we believe it is meant to allow for the possibility that, as an emulation, there is the possibility of a defect/bug. However, our emulation tech is quite robust, so we hope errors in reproduction to be rare and obscure, and if any are found we would fix them. At any rate it does not imply any deliberate deviation from the 2003 release.

There are only so many ways we can say this: we did not alter anything.

Please don't let these perpetually angry people get to you. More people will appreciate this than those who won't.

Do you have your own emulation, or is it based on Mame or FBA?

Our team is comprised of industry veterans who were doing arcade emulation years before MAME existed. We have maintained our own proprietary technology throughout, and do not use open source. One of the advantages of our emulation is in its specialised techniques that allow it to work on much lower spec hardware than traditional emulation. This is critical for, e.g., getting Neo Geo emulation with rollback to work on the Nintendo Switch.

And that's why for me Code Mystics are one of the best companies out there. Thanks for the details. Much appreciated.

Can I ask from curiosity why Xbox was skipped? I noticed that both this title and the MvC Collection both skip Series X/S and native PS5 Ports maybe you guys could give us some insight as to why in general?

Considering the amount of people crying over Stellar Blade's sexy protagonist, I would guess SNK felt the need to put this disclaimer before these same people lost their minds when they saw Princess Athena's outfit.

I dont wanna point fingers at Code Mystics. They do really good ports. I just wanna find out who warranted the disclaimer because it certainly wasn't in anything else Code Mystics worked on.
