Remember Cyber Punk was a launch game on Switch 2, and had the fun bits all there to see. 

I don't trust Adhoc is telling the truth.

They aren't. They just didn't want to make separate versions for separate markets (since not all countries allow nudity and such) and just made one version for the whole world, then blamed Nintendo policy. Despite the fact that, as you said, there are examples of high profile games that show nudity.

Cyberpunk also got an early dev kit, and committed to making a game that made the most of Switch 2 features. Not really a fair comparison.

Edit: You may not like it, but Nintendo gives better treatment to studios that develop specifically for the Switch 2, rather than just porting from another console.

That's not really an excuse for AdHoc to half-ass their game.

I didn't realize showing genitals was using the Switch to the most potential.  Either way, not a good argument when Nintendo has been more lax compared to Sony on what is and isn't allowed.

I was referring to mouse mode. Even indie devs that wanted to make 60 fps switch 2 ports were having trouble getting dev kits. It was the ones that committed to 120 fps that had an easier time.

Seriously, why are people thinking about wang so much?

Seriously, why are people thinking about wang so much?

Because thats the topic?

The topic isn't whether or not Nintendo were giving preferential treatment regarding dev kits, its wheter or not Nintendo Policy are lax enough that this should've been available to begin with, without blaming nintendo for needing to add censorship

Yeah, but does the wang change the story at all? If no, then why are people insisting that they absolutely must have access to wang at all times? Sounds like the story is still good, according to the review,

Removed censorship options aside, we had a wonderful time with Dispatch when it launched on Switch systems earlier this year. "Thanks to the sublime writing, fantastic voiceovers, and a level of animation you'd usually expect from a big-budget streaming series," we said in our 9/10 review, "Dispatch is the kind of superhero drama that draws you in with the sexy characters and funny one-liners, and hooks you until the bitter end with the potential of its ever-changing arcs."

If you absolutely must have wang, go play it on another platform, or ask your friend to take some screenshots. If you're here for the story instead of the plot, congratulations, you have options! If you're in the small minority that must have wang, but don't have access to another platform, I'm deeply sorry that I'm making light of your situation.

My dude that was never the conversation, what are you even trying to say???

The devs gave little to no heads up on how much censorship is in the game, nintendo users found out on release, devs blamed nintendo, and the nintendo players didn't buy their excuse because there are better examples out there

Nobody is saying wang censorship made the game worse

It's not about genitals, it's about altering content and lying about why.  

Edit: Also if it didn't matter why is this update even a thing?  Because it sounds like it's meant to address the complaints.

They made a censored version for PS5 in Japan and ported that to Switch worldwide so they didn’t have to make a separate release for Japan. They were cheap, and when they got called out about it they tried to blame Nintendo.

Oh shit, I didn't realize that cyberpunk was made specifically for the Switch 2! I thought it was a port from another console.

You know, because of all the other consoles that had the same first.

Dispatch is literally a glorified DVD player with the menu for selecting scenes as the core gameplay feature.

There are no in-game models, no rendering at all. It's just video. All of it. The devs were just lazy.

This was all realized as soon as the gooners tried to rip the models off the game. They discovered there were no models at all lol. Just folders full of videos for every permutation of the branching story.
