I was really looking forward to playing this on my Switch because I have no other console gaming platform, but I will not buy this game if it is going to be censored unlike every other platform. It doesn’t make sense. There are other rated M games on Switch that are not censored like this.

I'm sure the conversation went something like, Nintendo or whomever being concerned that the cartoon-y visuals would attract children. By all means, make the censorship options on by default, but don't take them away entirely!

Hey, nah. Censorship is unacceptable. Even if this wasn't your call, you absolutely should have done more than wait until the preorder cash came in before disclosing it. Will not be supporting your game now.

“Some mature content from Dispatch's original version has been modified.” 1. If it isn’t the same product, you’re charging full product prices. 2. That description is not descriptive enough. “Some” doesn’t cut it and be specific and clear that it was due to Nintendos policies.

I would recommend that if you are able, fill out the Nintendo customer satisfaction survey. I think if enough of us state we will not buy mature rated content on the system because their policies compromise the experience otherwise offered on other platforms, they may change their policies. 😉

Disappointed by how the censorship was handled, not by the censorship itself, but in waiting to communicate its existence until just hours before release. I was thankfully able to get a refund but it’s not something Nintendo normally allows so it feels like a deliberate tactic on your part.

I wanted to report a bug, I'm playing the switch 2 version in french, episode 1 no problem but episode 2 and 3 have the bug some subtitles aren't in french but it english, there is a real problem with the subtitles ot translated. I understand english but for someone that don't it's a real problem.

I’ve preordered the S2 edition thinking it would be the same content as on the other platforms, nothing in the trailer or pictures on the eshop indicated that the game was heavily censored, otherwise I would have purchased on another system. This feels dishonest to me and I would like to be refunded

I just got a refund after contacting Nintendo support, not sure if it would have been possible after starting the game though. I would have loved to play it handled on Switch but it is going to have to be on PS5 now.

Any plans for an uncensored Xbox version? I was excited to finally play it on a platform I owned, but I'm not playing it censored.

People want your product, but releasing without platform parity is a mistake on your part. If you can't match the content found on other platforms, this can spur legal action to open the platform to alternative stores—U.S. and international legal precedent increasingly limits platform gatekeeping.

I won't be buying until the censorship is gone. Which saddens me because I was really looking forward to this one. That's the same device that has a fully uncensored version of Cyberpunk 2077 fffs....

Too bad you guys didn't disclose that it'll be mandatory censorship on the Switch. We have Cyberpunk on the same platform. I'll wait for the Xbox release before buying.

I don't use socials often, but let me chime in; I won't buy anything with forced censorship. Seems a lot feel that way. But this makes me not want to touch my Switch 2, as someone with literal hundreds of Switch 1 games. Bad form, and disgusting it was not confirmed until today. Shame on you all.

Have fun, Dispatchers! 🥳 I hope so, I can't wait for more new news about Dispatch: Xbox Series X|S, New DLC: Malevola Route for Season 1, Season 2 and more in future! 🔥🙏❤️

I tried to cancel this game, but Nintendo refused (EU). You didn’t mention the censorship before the preorder period nor it was described before (quite the opposite, btw). I’ve escalated this refund request because this is false advertising (which is a crime in the EU).

I was really looking forward to playing this tonight until I found out its been heavily censored. I’ve had no choice but to ask for a refund and switch 2 is the only platform I can use right now so its very disappointing. I hope you patch the game to fix it :(

Is there a reason you did not disclose the forced censorship on Switch platforms? Is there any plan to patch it in so it can be toggled like other platforms?

Go in the support section of the Nintendo website, open a support request for the eshop and explain you didn’t know the game had been censored as this wasn’t not clearly indicated. They will remove the game from your library and refund you.

same. I started it but stopped after 20 minutes. those black boxed are annoying AF. hope it will be patched in the future. I will not play it again until then. or play it one gamepass maybe someday. I'm really disappointed

Estaba tan emocionado por el lanzamiento en Nintendo switch, pero al enterarme de que se quitó la opción de elegir si quiero activar la censura mejor opte por pedir un reembolso.
