His Japanese Magicant sprites make him look pretty chubby, and multiple NPCs call him chubby or fat. Plus he's a pure American boy who eats steak every day, of course he's going to be a little chubby.

>the censored sprites are a direct negative and should be altered back to their original state whenever possible
Do you have the same feeling about Earthbound? Would you prefer playing without censorship in that game when stuff like pic related got censored in the western release?

Most on /vr/ don't have any, probably because Mother 3 isn't technically retro so you don't have Mother 3 threads. With /v/ it's just hoping that Kumatorafags don't show up, and that shotafags stick to posting SFW cute images.

Can't really blame the shotafags too much when Itoi put pic related into Mother 2, though.

I don't think he would care. He would probably find it degenerate, but not enough to care. Or maybe he's secretly a shotacon because as you said, he did sneak naked Ness into Mother 2.

I know this post is 6 days old but here's the full naked Ness sprite. It's oddly pretty detailed, but it doesn't show his genitals at all. Personally I'm indifferent to this change, I think the original Japanese one makes more sense since Ness is going into his mind and it's supposed to be really weird and uncomfortable, but I can completely see why they changed it for the western release.

One other notable localization change to EB is the Cultist sprite, in the Japanese version they have "HH" on their hat and they don't have the pom pom on the tip of their hat. This change was probably done to make them look less like KKK members.

Could they have gotten away with not censoring this in the west?

What did Itoi mean by this? Was it just a joke or was it meant to mean something?
