I see they've substituted Hitler for Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg.

Goddamn it, just waiting till the "premium" $19.99 section pops up. This game was over in 4 hours, Zenonia is just a rehash grind and Civ Rev freaks out when you fill a continent into a slideshow, something the DS does flawlessly.

Le sigh~

@That mop mutant from NES.: Oh, so they implemented technology to make the iPhone of Civ Rev play like the PC ones do? Cool

@Đipic: Exactly. The DS version is smooth at all times, and is thus not a proper Civilization game.

@exion: Ya, the old-nintendo cut up all sorts of games. I remember when Mortal Kombat II came out on the SNES with all violence intact. It was (at the time) the best thing ever. That really was the turnaround point after the failure that was MK I.

On topic: The SNES version of Wolfy really sucked.

Killing dogs is more offensive than killing rats because dogs are seen as domesticated pets ,w =hile rats are seen is disgusting sewer creatures.

@MooglesInMyFace: whilst killing humans is ok? there still lies the double standard...

now if they had replaced the dogs with the dog from duck-hunt, I'd have enjoyed the port a lot more!

"Wolfenstein has been fighting censorship since 1992"

Hmm, doesn't sound like much fighting is going on when you accept it each and every time.

Yeah, Nintendo was pretty lame back then, with their censorship. Of course, if you think public outcry is bad NOW about games, back then would have been a lot worse, since games were a lot younger.

That title should read:

That was very confusing to read at first.

Whatever the crappy rationale is about offending people for this new trend of removing Nazis from games (see also Lego Indiana Jones), this grotesque hateful shitbag was responsible for millions upon millions of deaths, both of soldiers and civilians, but more so the industrialised murder of 6 million jews, whose deaths were utterly irrelevant to the war he was prosecuting, sheer needless hate-fuelled murder.
This is an alarming trend of soft-soap revisionism to edit out an unpleasant bit of history from certain people's view and there is no adequate justification for it. I would actually put this creative cowardice on a level approaching holocaust denial.
The day we stop thinking it doesn't matter anymore is a day closer to it happening again. Don't ever believe it couldn't happen again.

Well, Japan has been making things like these for ages.
Modifying logos, brandmarks, sensitive content and others slightly just to avoid lawsuits and other problems.
It's mainly for commercial logos and brands, but I've seem they do it to nazi content to, modifying swastikas a bit and such.
But hay, Hitler with a toupee and with misplaced facial hair?
Parody or fear of censorship... or both?
Specially consider it's for the iPhone and the batshit crazy app store censors...
It is of course ridiculous if it's for censoring purposes only, because EVERYONE will know this is a Hitler, nazi and swastika reference...

Soviet Monkey's understanding of German history is somewhat lacking. What the Nazi leadership did was, without question, a terrible crime. But the Nazi Leadership needs to be distinguished from the rank and file of the Nazi Party, the Wehrmacht (German military) and the German people. Grouping them all together would be tantamount to saying that all Americans were neo-conservative republicans from 2001-2008 and shared the same ideology and responsibility for all actions taken by the US during that time period.
Many rank and file Germans had no idea what was going on, only that the Jews were being relocated. Not even the Nazi Leadership was crazy enough to brag to their own people about what it was doing lest they revolt.
So Joe-German gets his draft notice. His local paper (his only source of information) is controlled by the Nazi leadership and tells him that his country is under attack. So he goes out to do his patriotic duty and serve the democratically elected leader of his people. Even if Joe-German-Soldier was one of the few who knew what was really going on, what were his options? Protest? Desert? Refuse Orders? All acts of treason punishable by death. None of that excuses the actions of the Nazi Leadership nor the rank and file that understood what was happening, but it does help us understand their position and why they did what they did.
In conclusion, the average German solider was not SS and had no idea what was going on. The simplistic pseudo-history portrayed in most video games set in WWII is sad, misleading, and entirely without real thought. But that's what most of us want right? We just want to go out and shot some bad-guys. Life is so much easier when its us vs them and we don't have to think about it, because they are evil, not fathers and sons, brothers and husbands doing their duty. God forbid a game make us consider the moral context of our actions.
