There were more episodes that were taken out.
Holiday In Alcupoco (sp?) was an episode where James entered a beauty contest with an inflatable bikini. Yup, James had tits in this episode. To make it worse, this ep. was flashed back on in the one where Tentacruel attack some city. It later aired in the US once. I don't know if it was censored.
And in another, the Safari Zone episode, some bloke went around shooting a pistol at people. They couldn't censor it to something else since he fired it, so they just never translated it.
And this one was the one where Ash got an assload of Tauros. How he got them in the dub was never explained.

Man, I hate that "Tentacool and Tentacruel" and "Tower of Terror" were banned at one point. Both were favorites of mind, and the latter was my first exposure to Pokemon at all.

I remember seeing most of those banned episodes more then twice. They just cut out the James with tits part. Also I guess Dutch people don't care about blackface Jynx as much, with those Zwarte Pieten showing up each year 'n all. Also no PAL releasedate for KSSU yet?  |

Also no PAL releasedate for KSSU yet? Europe got Canvas Curse/Power Paintbrush and Squeak Squad/Mouse Attack months after North America. Don't expect it too early, maybe not even this year. |

For those of you who don't like in the US, this is the kind of bull**** we have to put up with far too often.

When I first read about this, I thought that some white person was responsible for that crap (like non-Mexicans criticized Speedy Gonzales cartoons because they feature "stereotypical Mexicans", but Mexicans opposed), but, oh dear, it was even written by an African American. I did never thought of such stuff about Jynx before I read that. Of course, the stereotypical African has long blonde hair. |

ON TOPIC: One thing I like about this game is that the front cover has Kirby smiling again. Nintendo of America made him angry or mad in some covers, because they thought anger makes him "kewl" and less cute, like these characters below:         Top row from left to right: Travis Touchdown, Takamaru, Shadow the Hedgehog, Mega Man X (or simply "X"). Bottom row from left to right: Akuma, Sasuke Uchiha, Lucario, Super Saiyan Vegeta. The logo would of been better if the "Kirby" part was gold-colored instead of pink. The original Kirby Super Star/Kirby Fun Pack logo looked better. OFF TOPIC: No offense but, Americans are becoming more dirty-minded nowadays. They like to take some video games, movies, books and other things from other regions and rename or turn them into something silly or awkward. They even edit American-made ones as well. Remember hearing about some Tom & Jerry episodes almost having censored content like cigars in Wild West-based episodes? Some Americans hate when people take something bad and either make fun of it (like a guy dressing himself as a Nazi during Halloween for comedic reasons) or offend it (like killing Adolf Hitler in the NES Bionic Commando game). Big-name companies in the U.S. add nasty ingredients in processed food, while some other regions don't. For example, Coca-Cola uses high-fructose corn syrup in their soft drinks in the U.S., but in Mexico, they use sugar instead. |

You post reminds me of this:
IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!
And.... I don't know what about the US, but aren't games supposed to be on sale BEFORE release date? You can sell it (or unpack one copy for your own enjoyment) as soon as you have stock - at least it happens over here. Now that it's going to be "out" soon, can anyone who can get it soon enough check that for me?
I'll probably opt for the Japanese version myself. Meta Knight will then be less evil and oping Kirby to actually die. Plus you don't get the little "Touch Generation" logo, which I think is kinda anti-advertising for people not wanting to labelled "newcomers to videogaming".

[sarcasm] How patriotic of you, Parrot. [/sarcasm]
In all seriousness, that post actually managed to show how many different conversations are going on this one thread simultaneously.
Isn't that picture of Takamaru taken from that wacky Fist of the North Star-styled SSB manga webpage?

I love it when non-Americans think that badmouthing America means they win an argument with an American everytime.
Wait...what now?
This game will probably become known as Kirby Ultra Fun Pak in PAL regions.

Nintendo of America made him angry or mad in some covers, because they thought anger makes him "kewl" and less cute. I'm also happy too see a smiling Kirby. They started with that angry Kirby thing with Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, the western cover is the worst Kirby box art I've ever seen (I know that the Japanese Super Deluxe box art is even simpler, but simple in a good way). But whatever the new Kirby cover looks like, the German one will be ruined by a giant USK rating logo. Only look at this one  :   Wait, is Parrot from the US or not? According to his Wikipedia user page, he's over 9... er, is from the US. |
